In the year of 1060, the Count Consort of Zonkidet failed victim to an insidious assassination plot by a Communist mole.
(I kid you not -- a giant mole made it past my lines of traps, popped from ambush right next to my Count Consort in his bedroom and slaughtered the poor bugger on the spot. It then made for my Countess, but I was able to get one of my champions there first.)
And guess what happened next spring ?
Right: a new Count Consort arrived. So it seems a noble can order a new husband from the mountain homes whenever she feels lonely.
That guy won't be hard to please, since his predecessor's appartments are still there. Except of course for the mausoleum -- gonna ruin the symmetry of my catacombs' arrangement.
... by the way, is there any way to know which squares of an engraved wall are masterpieces ?
but yeah, if a noble dies, they send a replacement with the next wave of immigrants it seems.
i wonder if this works for the king, too...
