I have considered this but eventually decided against it for practical reasons. There are just too many ways to die, and I should make provisions for too many special cases.

What if you and someone else pepper the province where your victim's pretender resides, with rituals like Seeking Arrow or Fires from Afar, and he and at least one other leader die as a result? There's no way to know who actually delivered the killing blow to the pretender. Should I give you points?

What if someone invades the province where your victim's pretender is, and the pretender routs and dies because you just conquered the one province he could retreat to? You didn't even meet this pretender, or try to assassinate him with spells, yet his death is a byproduct of your action. Should I give you points for that?

What if your victim's pretender dies from a disease he got when you wounded him in that battle 2 turns ago? Should I give you points?

These are just 3 examples out of the may ones I figured out while pondering this issue. So put the blame on Dominions' richness, not on me!
