Crusader Kings 2 Game Of Thrones Submods
Posted on by admin
So, for those of you unaware, there's an absolutely wonderful total conversion mod for Crusader Kings II that retools the game. In the vanilla version, the player plots and assassinates historical figures in Europe and the Middle East. With this exceptional mod, the player plots and assassinates beloved characters in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. I've never actually read the books, but I love the show.
This mod changes the entire world map to that of the canon ASOIAF universe, allowing the player to control any ruler in it at any point starting shortly before Aegon's Conquest. There are numerous starting scenarios (such as Robert's Rebellion), and while the player certainly can try to keep things similar to the canon they can try to screw around for Hilarious Results™. Want to put Lancel Lannister on the Iron Throne? Go ahead. Want to blow up Joffrey with some manure? Who doesn't eagerly anticipate the chance to do so?
Even if you try to avoid constant shocking swerves, it can still result in hilarious anecdotes. For instance, in one file I married Margaery Tyrell to Robb Stark. Over the years, Margaery gave birth to more than a dozen children. As soon as she popped one out, she got pregnant again. Years later, it turned out none of the children were Robb's. Margaery was carrying on an affair with Theon Greyjoy ever since she arrived in the North, and all of the children were his. Robb couldn't care less, as he was having an affair with the elderly Maege Mormont.
That's not even including that time I watched in horror as the entire Stark dynasty died of gonorrhea (yes, including Jon Snow). Anyway, enough rambling! After some fiddling, I was finally able to install the latest version of the mod and decided to post a Let's Play on these forums for your general amusement (or annoyance).

Crusader Kings 2 A Game Of Thrones Submods
Rather than choosing how I shall start, I'm going to leave it up to you guys to vote on. Starting off, you guys will have to decide which starting scenario I should choose and who I should play as. I would prefer a major character, but I'm totally fine with playing a count. On Friday, I'll tally up the votes and start the file. There are eight starting scenarios for you to vote on:Game Of Thrones Season 8
Seven Kingdoms: Set centuries before the books/show take place, Westeros is ruled by seven different kingdoms. I once played this start in a multiplayer match, and it was actually sort of boring.
War of Conquest: Aegon and his sisters have arrived at Blackwater Bay, starting their conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. (Spoiler alert: they win.)
Conquest of Dorne: Prince Daeron, a descendant of Aegon, wishes to respect his ancestor's legacy by conquering Dorne. I've never actually played this start, and have little-to-no knowledge about the lore behind it.
After the Spring: Soon after a plague ravages Westeros, there's uh...stuff that happens. From what little I know about this, it involves a rebellion led by the Blackfyres.
Robert's Rebellion: Ned 'Sean Bean' Stark's father and his eldest brother has been executed by a tyrant, and his sister has been kidnapped by the tyrant's son. All in all, a pretty bad time to be a Stark. Robert Baratheon, the man Ned's sister is berothed to, begins a rebellion against the Mad King.
The Crowned Stag: Robert has become the new king at the cost of his beloved. The once powerful Targaryen dynasty has been wiped out, reduced to an insane jerk and a baby.
The Greyjoy Rebellion: Lord Balon Greyjoy, believing Robert's grip on the Iron Throne is weak, declares a war for the independence of the Iron Isles.
A Clash of Kings: This is pretty much the start of the second season (and the second book, I assume), and my personal favorite scenario. The North is at war for independence, the Iron Isles are doing what they do best, and both Stannis and Renly Baratheon are pressing their claims on the throne.
War of Conquest: Aegon and his sisters have arrived at Blackwater Bay, starting their conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. (Spoiler alert: they win.)
Conquest of Dorne: Prince Daeron, a descendant of Aegon, wishes to respect his ancestor's legacy by conquering Dorne. I've never actually played this start, and have little-to-no knowledge about the lore behind it.
