It could perhaps emphasize a bit more on options given to the traits of the character : a, skilled fighter, martial badass with duelist lifestyle could maybe triomph to this frightening guardian without being wounded, but a good diplomat could try to convince him to let him pass, and a sneaky character with high level of intrigue could try to pass through him without being seen, etc… I think you should keep the risk of dying to a bare minimum, but make sure that all the quests CHANGE deeply the character, with harsh choices, difficult dilemnas, and overall a big potential for gaining or losing traits. – Give us more amazing quests, like the one you have to do when you’re looking for a valyrian sword ! It’s SO rewarding when you manage to find one after so many perils, suffering, sometimes pain and wounds for your character, and this enigma at the end. – Add deep slavery options, like multiple events, rebellions when you’re being too harsh or not careful, the ability to abolish slavery and everything and the consequences it would have (boost for army moral ? Financial penalties before a new economic system is established ? Diplomatic problems with powers that still have slavery ? Ability to wage war on every power that uses slavery ? Possibilities are huge !) It can be tricky, but I’m sure you’ll manage ! One thing that would help is keeping the lack of ships for Westeros, and adding a lot more naval mobility for eastern powers, but at the cost of weaker land troops. – Be extremely careful to the balance between the united seven kingdoms and the strenght of all the city states and individual eastern powers. I hope this expansion will give something fresh, and add more tension to every playthrough since you know you can be invaded from the outside at any moment if you’re not careful ? I’ve currently finished my playthrough as the Reynes of Castamere, and to be honest, when you manage to conquer the iron throne, there’s not really any challenges left. That’s excellent news, I hope we’ll have the chance to experience it soon !
Release date is unknown for now, almost certainly not in the next release for the Old Gods.
Of course The Dothraki shall be implemented in some way and we do have a basic plan for them, but that probably deserves its own full explanation later on. But we do intend to fill the entire map, including Ibb, Qarth, Sothoryos and other obscure places.
For the initial release, the Free Cities, Slaver’s Bay and The Summer Islands are likely to be all there is. Also we will almost certainly make a unique shield for ruins, so they are easily distinguishable. Note The Rhoyne shall be navigable upto Norvos and Qohor. Ruins shall also be modelled in some way, possibly with the ability to colonise them:
Aegon will be able to choose to unify The Free Cities rather than Westeros: However some ideas have been started to be thought out, e.g. Now only the history setup has been partially down thus far, so there aren’t any unique mechanics done yet. However The Summer Islands have also been completed, and they are a feudal realm: Obviously this means you will need the DLC to play as them. Here is a look at the dejure kingdom setup:Įach of the Free Cities, and Slaver’s Bay realms, shall be portrayed using The Republic DLC mechanics, each with 5 ‘patrician’ families and the ability to establish trade posts. We have had to essentially make up many province and title names, as well as the free city dynasties. This continent has been more arduous to recreate than Westeros, mainly due to the lack of canon information compared to Westeros. The map contains everything from Westeros to Qarth, and Sothoryos to Far Ibb. Yes, we are adding Essos And as you can see progress has been coming along quite well. I (Knuckey) have taken on this role, but cabe has used his amazing map making talents to leave us a rather nice parting gift: Unfortunately due to RL commitments he has stepped down as project leader. Some of you may have noticed cabezaestufa hasn’t done the usual updating. Hi all, it’s almost a year to the day since the mod was released, and I hope we can all agree we have come some way since then when all we had was Robert’s rebellion to entertain us! But of course we have plans for the future.
