As the developers said, it is related to this yes. it definitely seems like the death is unavoidable unless you specifically win the election with 17 votes.

bless I appreciate your willingness to help!! I did finally get a winning run but even then I'm not quite sure what I did so differently, and I barely scraped by on votes. I think part of my problem may have definitely been that I was not taking enough advantage of cabinet seats, it took me a while to figure out that I should be offering them to be people and who is best to offer to lol. I have only tried adopting the baby once, the rest of the time I have either declined or I've had enough history knowledge to send the child to be raised by the church.
My biggest issue I've run into is definitely the lethal mood phases, it can get you really boxed in as to what you can do. If you focus on physical stats then you can survive them and even have electors disqualified for trying to assassinate you, which could definitely be helpful in the final vote, but I haven't completed a full run this way yet as I prefer to focus on social and knowledge stats. The general strategy definitely seems to be focus on the votes you can get easily though, and offer seats to anyone who might be a little harder to convince/for the stats for future events. The main big kink I've noticed there is people's impressions of you can be very impacted by who you give seats to and associate with, so there's a lot of different factors to consider! I've taken a bit of a break since I finally got a completed run, but might do some more runs in the future to see if I can iron out some more solid strategies.
