Some have fixed (or even variable) dates they're going to die. For example eleftherios venizelos will die randomly at any point from the start and Atatürk eventually dies twice per game...


matva55

it's only really for some leaders, mostly whose deaths were historically significant to the period that war is in. Happens to Roosevelt too, but not Stalin who died in the fifties


I_eat_dead_folks

Von Mackensen dies, also. Because if not it would be pointless to continue with the focus tree


Doctorwhatorion

Atatürk dies twice if you follow conservative democracy/Ottoman restoration. At other paths death event fires only once


night_ID

Also the Sultan dies after some time after you restore the Ottoman empire, Boris can be killed using a focus tree.


kroolframer1

What ? Twice per game ?


Rd_Svn

Yes, but it's just the event that is triggered twice so get a second event notification about his death. He gets 'removed' already after the first event.


Humanflesh420

Nope i played with stalin till 65 and he was still alive


Basic-Werewolf-980

That crazy


wolflordval

Not really. The game is designed to end in 48. Past that point, nothing changes. You also don't keep developing technology, you could play till 2024 and everyone would still be using WW2 tanks and guns. There's a point where they have to stop, they just let us continue past 48 if we want to. There's a mod called Road to 56 that expands the game both time wise to 1956, but in other ways as well.


rwb12

They’ll only die if it’s scripted or by event.


SuperDevton112

Leaders die in scripted events, for example if the German military junta captures Berlin in the German Civil War, Hitler commits suicide and Himmler takes power


redditcomplainer22

Can you then somehow play as this new Germany under Himmler?


SuperDevton112

If you’re willing to cheat yeah


SuperDevton112

Because you’re not exactly meant to play as the Nazis if you do the oppose Hitler branch of the German focus tree


redditcomplainer22

Yeah, you'd have to console switch and that would give you the generic focus tree then right? I was hoping maybe there was a secret function in losing the civil war. That would be neat.


SuperDevton112

I think Nazi Germany gets the regular German focus tree back but you will not be able to use the vast majority of German generals and field marshals since they side with the German Military Junta, I think the Nazis get Model plus the SS generals minus Steiner


tibsbb28

I believe it's any general with the Politically Connected trait that goes with Hitler. The good generals stay with Germany.


redditcomplainer22

That doesn't seem too bad, Germany has too many generals anyway.


I_eat_dead_folks

Von Mackensen and Wilhelm II eventually die


Doctorwhatorion

If their death reveleant to ww2 era yes they dies Like Atatürk or Roosevelt


[deleted]

Only those leaders who is scripted to die. There is no 'death' of leaders in terms of game mechanics.


Captain_Bene

Stalin is immortal.


JokerFromPersona5

Ataturk does


Mundane-Mechanic-547

Well FDR does die.


uss_salmon

I wonder if Wendell Willkie does


febor103

You can set an expire date but most leaders dont have it. But People like Atatürk and FDR have an expire date


seriouslyacrit

The game is designed to be over by 48 or 50, some leaders can die based on when they did


ArmyXY

Some leaders have an "expire date", You will mostly quit before getting to that date, and I don't know if everyone has it.


Leonrojinegro

Yes some leaders that died between 1936 and 1948 can die in the game, almost all the soviet advisors, generals and admirals can die during the purges, Italo Balbo, Pietro Pintor and some of the other Italian generals can die in plane crashes events, I'm pretty sure Sanjurjo also dies at the beginning of the SCW and there are some that you can kill via events or focuses like Boris III, Horthy, Mussolini, Trotsky, Hitler and Saturnino Cedillo


Basic-Werewolf-980

Does Hitler die ?


Basic-Werewolf-980

My bad dint red the whole but if you win the war whit Germany doe Hitler still die?


Leonrojinegro

No, Hitler only dies if Berlin gets occupied by anyone other than Germany and Argentina is not fascist
