Hello 5000!!!
I'm a great fun of asoiaf, your work so far is great!!!
I would love such mod, if you need help, you may check this forum:
http://p080.ezboard.com/basoiaf
I'm going to post there linking this topic, I'm sure people will be impressed by your map!

I will try also to make some more connections. From my side, I cannot do almost anything (I can write some code in C, but not much) but I can give some support for simple tasks and discussions.

keep us informed and send a mail here if you want:

Hmmm. A couple things that I've noticed from your screenshots.

I. You spelled it Dragon's Stone... but it's actually Dragonstone.

II. I'm wondering... who are you having rule over King's Landing, Summerhall, Dragonstone, and the nearby territories? The Baratheons, Lannisters, or Targaryens?

Personally, I'd prefer if it were the Targaryens... because that way, the Baratheons and Lannisters wouldn't have vastly more territory. It'd also be accurate for more of Westerosi history, and the Targaryens are extremely interesting.

hello Jello,

just my opinion, but I think that the all campaign must be carefully thought. One possibility could be to leave some unbalance between the factions, in order to have different challenge levels for the single game campaign. In this case, King Landing could remain Lannister that is closer to the book. What do you think about this ? :)

in the link I left above, there are lots of interesting info/deductions on westeros economy/population, I will try to post something here.

I think it could be nice to play in the clash of kings scenario, with each turn lasting one month, or less. This is my idea for playable factions:

Stark
Tully
Lannisters (the West + KL)
Stannis (Dragonstone)
Tyrell's
Martell
Renly (Stormend)

One should twick the balancement, being the military of the Tyrell allied with Stormend too strong and Stannis too weak.

The Vale would remain an unplayable faction, while Stannis would have very few income and a small army, but skillful assassins from the beginning and maybe some "trickery" of sort.

just some thoughts! :)

The ironmen on Pyke, of course, another playable faction.

(I would edit my posts instead of making hundreds of them, but I dont know how.)

right on, i'm glad to see ppl discussing this, like i said in my first post i had posted a similar topic about a month or two ago, but no one responded, so i figured i was just makin it for myself.

here's my ideas so far

on playable factions i was gonna with

greyjoys in the iron islands
starks in the north
tullys in riverrun ( maybe making the freys a protectorate of the tullys? but not really too sure how this works )
lannisters in the west
stannis on dragon stone

i was actually thinking of making king's landing its own seperate faction akin to the roman senate in the original game

tyrells
renly
not too sure how to handle these two, but they will definitely be in there

i like the idea of the arryns being an unplayable faction, thats good
perhaps the martells in dorne as well ( was planning on having them all as playable but thats a good idea ).

i am not sure whether or not to include the land beyond the wall or the night's watch. i think this would be too difficult, but at the same time it would be cool to turn the elephants in rome into mammoths.

and i proly won't include danerys' stroy line, i think that that would spread things out too much, but again would also be cool, and would be fairly easy to convert spartan hoplites into the unsullied, who would make awesome units, but as for now she is out.



as for time frame, i believe i will be going with the clash of kings storyline
i think the war of the usurper would be good as well but i like the whats occuring in the books at present. so that is the plan as of right now, but could change pending help and suggestions from others.

i am not too sure what the game is capable of, i've really only been working on the map, and this project is still in its infancy. i wanted to finish the map first before i started messing around with other things.

george r r made a very complex storyline so its gonna take time to hash everything out so keep the ideas flowing. and as far as ppl wanting to help but not knowing how to do things, read these forums and just mess around with stuff, thats pretty much how i started, i had absolutely no idea what i was doing, i just knew i wanted to play in westeros, as i find this series more addicting than crack.

oh and nice catch on the dragonstone, didn't notice. it shall fixed
