killing a leader

[loki100]

Quick question, what is the best script to use to kill off a leader?

I've just had Vittorio Emannuelle II die as King but the leader counter is still active. Since he is also CinC I can't just send him to where I cannot use him as he will affect other developments

There is a kill command that removes units (even generals) from the game. I would say use that. I found it easiest to select all units in a region, and use the kill on them all (ideally, you want to have him by himself in the region). I think I posted it on the MP game thread on Paradox. Otherwise, look at the Italian unification script (it has examples of killing units).

thanks, I'll do that - but first dump him in a province all on his own. If I understand the game file correctly, leader death dates are year end, so he'll die in December 1878 but for reasons of a fast approaching war I want him out the way sooner - Italy cannot march on Vienna led by a zombie, its just not done ....
