Ah I getcha. Thanks for the reply!

King has got significantly weaker as time as gone on. Best part about king was having OE's. But that's gone now :(

Yeah now you have to actually deduce instead of randomly killing someone.

Kind of necessary though. In general one of the things that can be an issue in the game, is how much the game is decided by the RNG beforehand. the 3 big ones being, how many and what kind of neuts, Which side is the first king on etc...

IE hypothetically an alc + merc, possesor game with good king, is waay more likely to be a BD win than say a Sellsword + scorned + alc sorc game with an evil king etc...


Strength of the king ads into that rather significantly of course... which also lies into why his strength is a factor.

Personally I like the king quite a bit now, the "all kings have allies" was probably my least liked form of king. I didn't personally have an issue with execute king, but I do kind of like allies for evil king.

add the 1% chance for neutral king. It would be neat.

or 15% for neut king. or maybe 1% for psycho king lol

How would you code in a psycho king though? Would it replace the NK or add another neut in its place? There's too much to ask when asking for starting psycho king.

Well the RB change makes it a bit more complex of a formula. With the old step up system you could assume about a 70-90% chance that an elected king is good in the early game (odds of unseen/cult's only convert happening to be a royal were pretty low) though with the royal blood change in which the BD can't be certain a royal is elected king, elections are probably not as useful for getting a near certain good king.

Starting Psycho King would get royally boned {yes, pun fully intended}. Physicians tend to exhume d2 and they'll find out that from the results that insert number here was killed by Psycho king. Granted a smart player might hold off on killing for a while or killing all Phys claims before they get the chance to expose them, but a lack of deaths in the first few days can be suspicious in and of itself. Idk, sounds like the odds would be stacked against a starting PK.
