Crusader Kings II Message Board  

So I want to kill someone how do I find the character ID #? Or where??

You have to check your save game file . Open it with notepad and search the characters name and the ID will be there .


But there's a way to make the ID's show up in your tooltip during a game .

Got it off the Paradox forums . Not sure if it's wrong to post a link to it but here

Read the user Falon's instructions on it .

It worked for me.

Just open the message thing, "`" and write "charinfo" then when you mouseover you can see their ID and some other usefull things

Need this bad, do not understand anything from that Paradox Forums post, is there a console way to show it?

Bring up the console in game (~ or whatever key you use to open it up) type charinfo and then mouse over the portrait of the char you want the id for (it's easy to spot and you can gain other info on that char as well). Now type into the console kill (id#) without the parentheses of course and BAM! person with that holding you wanted is no more.(Basically MoxthiroXeli was correct)

Hope that works for you. While I've never used that command to kill anyone I have used the charinfo one to quickly change between rulers using the chars id# and a different console command so I can either help them out or accept a marriage request that they normally wouldn't accept. Stuff like that.

Also there is a topic right here called Console Commands and I would have a look at that. It's where I got all of the commands I use, there is another topic with the cheat events in it. Though I am unsure what it is called now and since one of the updates to the game some of the cheat events don't work 100% properly now but are still quite useful.

No I don't, guess I will have to.
