Perma Death for Kings and Queens...

Admired by many and hated by others, centers of attention, magnanimous and diligent leaders or cruel and tyrant dictators.

Great strategists who managed to open the doors of the great hall to occupy the desired throne and thus become the bearers of great power and great responsibility.

But power and great benefits require great sacrifice and the ability to balance on the edge of a sharp sword where death has no return ...

Mistakes, defeats, and falls on the way to the throne become heavier and heavier, and only those elect who make it to the top can experience in person the true terror of knowing that there is no longer room for error.

Conspiracies, betrayals, ambushes, whispers and shadows in every corner are the prelude to the imminent ...

They come for them ...

Well in my apparently unpopular opinion I find your suggestion incredibly intriguing. However, I will likely never have the time or influence to attain such a title so perhaps my opinion is moot.

Still, great suggestion. I would love to see some banter in support.

In my case, I also do not have the time to assume a position of such demand, but I would gladly offer my services to deal the mortal blow to the enemy King or deliver my weapons in search of the recovery and redemption of my fallen leader.

Going a little deeper and looking for a less penalizing alternative, imagine the following.

The elected King / Queen decides to opt for an extreme reign and accepts the challenge.

Automatically her presence on the throne grants exclusive benefits to her and her people.

If he is assassinated during his term, the bonuses are removed and a debuff is applied on the progress of his reign, let's call it "Echoes of an empty throne".

At the same time those who are part of his death will win a buff, let's call it "No King / Queen rules forever."

At this point 2 options are presented for the weakened reign.

On the one hand, an organized group of loyal monarch followers can enter the depths of a specific dungeon to reach the final Boss and free the soul of their fallen leader. Doing so restores the benefits of the Kingdom and removes those of the enemy.

On the other hand, the King / Queen can choose to make a pact with death to return immediately to their throne but they must pay the cost of said transgression. Her Kingdom will earn an additional debuff, let's call it "The Pain of a Forgotten Monarch" for the rest of her term and her enemies will earn an additional buff, let's call it "The Truth Has Been Revealed."

Yeah this is a hard no from me. This just does not sound fun and too time consuming for this suggestion to make any sense. You don't want to play the role....but you are willing to go and kill the person who does? This is a ridiculous suggestion on your part.

Terrible idea

@Elder Soul why is it I find you at the topics that are ridiculous in premise and nature?

Thats like asking for every other player character killed by the king/queen to lose their account for dying.

Risks and rewards right? I'm starting to suspect @Elder Soul is an account for a person who's looking to stir up players in the pursuit of personal entertainment or trolling from another game.

On a actual serious note. No this suggestion is dumb.

There are going to be systems to knock them straight out of power, so no but I do support a hard core option if people want it. I'm just not going to use it.

I would love a perma-death ironman mode for idiots such as myself.

Those particular players would never get to enjoy the game, under constant harassment and ganking at all hours. It's hard enough work to actually become a King/Queen. You certainly should get rewarded for said work, not further punished.
