The AI is no longer conspiring with that elephant to get himself killed. Probably.
You can always rely on Crusader Kings II to provide a hilarious patch note or two. In this release of update 2.1.2, we have “No longer possible for AI to plot to assassinate self (unless they are a lunatic).” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love the game so much. I’m now imagining a medieval mother shouting up the stairs to her idiot son, “Henry? HENRY! Are you scheming to have yourself assassinated again?”
This patch should also fix a few of the problems introduced by the Rajas of India expansion. The change log notes that “Spouse no longer likes you less if you have a different caste” (although that one kind of sounds like it made some sense in certain situations,) and “Celibate characters should no longer be worried about their conjugal lovelife.” Indeed.
The full set of patch notes for Crusader Kings II version 2.1.2 can be read below. There are more amusing bug fixes than I know what to do with, really.
