FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is this?
A Game of Thrones is a total conversion mod for Crusader Kings II, based on George R. R. Martin's fantasy novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire.
Who can I play?
You can play as any landed feudal noble in Westeros or Essos, any Wildling/Pirate warlord, the Night's Watch, the merchant republics of the Free Cities, Slaver's Bay and the East (Republic DLC required) or Dothraki/Jogos Nhai nomads (Horse Lords DLC required)
What are some of the new features?
Knights, Maesters, our new "Megawar" system for handling civil wars, the Night's Watch, one-on-one duels between characters, several different kinds of magic, and much more.
How do I access the Century of Blood and Pre-Doom bookmarks?
The extra bookmarks are made as submods (this has made it easier for us to create). To access them you have to select both the main 'A Game of Thrones' AND 'AGOT relevent submod in the launcher. Only the extra bookmarks will be present when enabling the submod, disable the submod to bring back the other bookmarks.
The official submods can be downloaded here: agotcitadel.boards.net/thread/213/official-submods
Is Essos in the mod?
Yes
I haven't read all the books/seen all the show. Is it safe for me to play this mod?
To a limited extent.
All scenarios contain setting spoilers. If it's really important to you to not know who the Lord of Winterfell in 255 was, we suggest not playing the mod at all. If you only care about avoiding spoilers for the events of the books and show, however, you'll be safe so long as you follow these instructions:
Note: All scenarios will have spoilers relating to details in 'The World of Ice and Fire'
Which scenarios contain spoilers?
What DLC does the mod need/use?
The mod should run fine no matter which DLC is enabled/disabled.
However some of the DLC does add content to the mod, here is an overview:
Expansions
Other DLC
Why no Game of Thrones music?
Adding the official Game of Thrones soundtrack to our mod would endanger our project. Using Intellectual Property is one thing, redistributing music that is currently FotM is another entirely! If you personally own the GoT Soundtrack however, there is no reason why you can't follow the following very helpful guide to adding music:
forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?593803-Adding-Own-Music-Mini-Tutorial-(Or-What-it-s-got-code-No-don-t-run-away!)
NOTE: We do not endorse Piracy, if you don't own it and want it: Buy it!
What is the 'Old Frames' option in the installer?
Paradox changed the style of the character frames in patch 2.4, selecting this option retains the old style of frames from before this.
I'm a Wildling and I have no idea what I'm doing.
The Wildlings don't respect dynastic ties the way Southerners do. They'll only follow strong leaders. The Wildlings receive a free Invasion CB on all their neighbors, and they receive significant military bonuses from having high prestige, but these bonuses come at two dangerous costs. First, Wildling provinces are ruled only at the Wildlings' pleasure. Anger the people too much, and you may find a revolt on your hands. Second, don't expect any higher-tier titles you create to outlast you - Wildling higher lordships and kingdoms can dissolve on their rulers' deaths. As a Wildling, you'll find that power is easy to gain, and much more difficult to keep.
I am a French speaker, why are the dynasty names in English?
For french users: si vous voulez jouer avec les dynasties traduites, rendez vous dans Mes Documents/Paradox/mod/A Game of Thrones/Traduction dynastie/FAQ où vous trouverez la démarche à suivre pour jouer avec les noms des Maisons en français.
I'm making a CK2 mod and would like to use your Duel Engine or any other part of the mod, or I'd like to use your Duel Engine as a standalone mod.
Altering or using content from the main AGOT mod for use in a submod or another vanilla mod is fine, permission is granted to all who wish to do so. If using content in a vanilla mod please credit "the AGOT team"
We've also released a generic, de-Westerosified version of the Duel Engine as a standalone mod here.
My character has like 25 martial, why is he losing to guys with really low martial in duels?
Martial ability, being a command rating, has no effect on duel outcomes. Traits are what determines this. The combat traits are the most important, whilst others like strong, weak and valyrian swords also contribute.
Are there supposed to be random silent sisters showing up in the Kingsguard/Nightswatch's court?
Yes, the game populates courts with random females. If you move the game simply adds more, this is the compromise we arrived at
Why are all High Septons called High Septon I?
A new High Septon extends the practice of septons giving up their family names by renouncing any kind of individual name. This is due to the belief that the individual becoming High Septon is no longer a man but an avatar of the gods.
Fabricating claims isn't working/happening too often, what have you done to it?
The chances of fabricating a claim have not been altered from vanilla, so having loads of claims or none at all in a certain period of time can happen.
BOOK/SEASON 2 SPOILERS: Why can't I play as Renly in A Clash of Kings?
We decided that moving the start of the scenario to after Renly's death provided better balance. The old setup with Renly alive and the original events is still possible to play by manually moving the start date to 11th Feb 8299.
Why are my wars ending inconclusively sometimes?
Flicking through different dates and characters on the character selection screen may cause wars to end inconclusively instantly when the game starts. This is a vanilla bug, if it does happen simply restart without flicking.
How do I colonise a ruin?
Ruined provinces are now colonised via a province decison, which is accessed by right clicking on the shield/coat of arms of the province.
Hodor?
Hodor.

PATCH NOTES
Patch 2.0 Notes
After 7 years of development, the mod has finally got to a point where I'm happy to slap the label 2.0 on it. Pretty much all the content that has been planned to be added is present, and much more. Therefore this seems like a good point to take step back. This does not mean the mod will not continue to be supported and updated, it just means no more major additions (at least until Winds of Winter appears in the distant future
). That all said, there are many cool additions in 2.0!:
Highlights:
- New features based on Fire and Blood, including Royal Progresses and other flavour events
- Revamped Valyrian Freehold mechanics. The Freehold is now a Noble Oligarchy with special election mechanics. Also added many events and tweaks.
- Improvements and tweaks to the map setup
- Many, many database updates/improvements
- Can no longer befriend grieving dragons in local taverns
Patch 1.9.1 Notes
This is relatively small update making the mod compatible with CK2 3.1. There are however several new additions, and many more history and map updates.

- It is now possible to name Dragons, ships, artifacts and other things directly, without using the old convoluted title system
- Integrated elements of 'the Seed is Strong' submod. Great houses and their bloodlines now have special genetics

Patch 1.1.2 Notes

So here is an update including all the nice book lore! This all mainly important fixes for bugs in 1.1, plus some minor tweaks and additions.
Patch 1.1.1 Notes April Fools
With season 6 of the Game of Thrones Tv show coming up we've been thinking hard about what to prioritise. Due to the popularity of the show, we've decided using the show as our primary source of canon is the way forward. So here it is! Robb is now married to Talisa, Sansa to Ramsay Bolton, plus many other alterations!
Patch 1.1 Notes
This is probably one of our largest updates ever, and it includes many additions and fixes. The mod now makes full use of features from Conclave and Horse Lords DLCs, with a new education and council system, as well as Dothraki and Jogos Nhai now using the nomad mechanics. Plus much more!

We have decided that this version of the mod has pretty much everything in it that we set out to include 1.0.

Patch 0.7 Notes
There are lots of small changes in this update. Some recent 'World of Ice and Fire' extracts have allowed us to expand our history setup, detailed changes are found below. We've also tried to make the various Westerosi regions slightly more unique by varying the troop composition found in each region. Other highlights include:
- Overhauled tourneys. Characters now match up in duel-like jousts.
- Adjusted claimant adventures. Adventurers now usually require gold to accumalate an army, the size of which increases the wealthier they are. They can also ask nearby rulers for funding.
- Ironborn may now have to duel wielders of valyrian blades to steal them whilst raiding

Patch 0.6 Notes
Dragons and Dothraki are the highlights of this update. The Dothraki Sea is no longer inactive, Dothraki Khals now being fully playable. They work quite differently from other characters, so reading the manual entry on them is advised! Also the CTD problems should be mostyl fixed now.
Important Note:
- If you are wondering about the question mark flags everywhere, there are currently no flags for many areas.
- Dothraki now fully playable- please see manual for details

Patch 0.5 Notes
Essos has finally arrived! This huge new continent contains hundreds of new provinces and characters, from the Free Cities to all the way upto Qarth in East, and from Ibben in the North to the Summer Islands in the south. With this new continent many existing mechanics and scenarios have been adjusted. The most noteworthy additions are:

- Ninepenny Kings Scenario- Try and conquer Westeros as Maelys Blackfyre

Patch 0.4.5 Notes
This release is a small update that mainly makes the mod compatible with CK2 patch 1.101, including some bug fixes.
Patch 0.4.4 Notes
This release mainly deals with the new goodies introduced by the latest patch and DLC. Additions include:
-Worshipers of the Drowned God can now use the Old Gods DLC raiding mechanics. Off map reaving is till possible
-Wildlings can go now go raiding and gain defensive bonuses.
-Drowned God followers can now take their prisoners as salt wives using the new concubine system, but only via decision so you can't ask someone to be a salt wife. Old system still in place for non DLC users

Nothing too major in this release, but there are plenty of additions to try before The Old Gods, as well as the usual numerous fixes.
- Added a Quest to Valyria event chain
- Finally added mechanics to improve base value buildings on your castle holdings.
- New R'hllor magic options
- Blackfyre Rebellion re-balanced
Patch 0.4.2 Notes
Since we noticed some of you didn't like the Eastern Continent as much as we hoped, we removed it and decided to focus on Westeros again for the moment. And so, here's the new version! The first thing you'll notice is that armies can move again, but the most perceptive amongst you will no doubt notice we have two new scenarios: the much requested Blackfyre Rebellion and the spoiler-heavy A Feast for Crows (seriously, don't even think about clicking on it if you haven't read all the books). There are a lot of tweaks and additions, as usual. You'll find, for instance, that you have new options to employ Hedge Knights. We have begun adding sensible buildings at last, so that late game should hopefully be improved, and there has been quite an overhaul in certain parts of the map.
Patch 0.4.1 Notes (April Fools Edition)
In honor of Game of Thrones' return to television yesterday, we're proud to bring you a new release, and with it a feature you've all long awaited and fiercely demanded. That's right, as of patch 0.4.1, the game of thrones is no longer confined to Westeros!
We've worked painstakingly to let you cross the Narrow Sea and experience the wonders of the East, a land of merchant cities, savage horselords, fanatical worshipers of the One True God, and the ruins of an empire long fallen.
Patch 0.4.0.1 Notes
A simple compatibility update for CK2 v1.091. We simply focused on fixing as many bugs as we could in the short time between this release and the last one.
Patch 0.4 Notes
This release comes pretty quickly on the heels of 1.09, but it's no mere compatibility update. And no, Essos isn't in either. What we do have for you is a ridiculous amount of new content. Seriously, our changelog for this thing is six pages long. Here's the highlights:
Patch 0.3.3 Notes
Another compatibility/bugfixing update, this one for v1.08. Mostly balancing changes and bugfixes, but as always there's a lot of new details and flavor to be discovered. And the most observant among you might also notice we took some steps towards finally giving religion the importance it deserves...
Patch 0.3.2 Notes
This is primarily a compatibility update, allowing you to play the mod with CK2 1.07, but we've also added three new scenarios from Westeros's ancient history. The Seven Kingdoms allows you to experience an alternate history where Aegon the Conqueror never united Westeros, while War of Conquest allows you to either try to recreate his conquests, or defeat him. Finally, After the Spring is set in 211, in the aftermath of the devastating Blackfyre Rebellion. King Aerys I reigns and the notorious Lord Bloodraven serves as his Hand, while the son of Daemon Blackfyre plots to avenge his father and fulfill his claim to the Iron Throne.
Warning: Some scenarios are currently the victim of an extremely strange bug, which causes some lord to be independent if the scenario is loaded immediately after loading any of the new scenarios. The worst occurence of this happens to Dorne and the Reach in the Crowned Stag. If you experience this bug, you can fix it on the game setup screen by selecting Robert's Rebellion, then selecting The Crowned Stag again.
Patch 0.3.1 Notes
This release is focused on bugfixes and tweaks. There are no earth-shattering new features this time, but of course that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of interesting additions. For instance, you might find out people are now much more sneaky when trying to take another people's job. Or some new colorful insights on Ironborn culture (which involve chopping other people's heads off and taking their stuff). Rich characters might have some options to rebuild certain megalomaniac constructions from the past, and you might also notice it's now quite dangerous to lose your main castle in a siege. There's plenty more flavour, too, if you can bear with it!
Barring surprises, our next release should happen after 1.07 comes out and will hopefully take advantage of its new features.
Patch 0.3 Notes
Everything is finally ready for the Clash of Kings! You can now relive the War of the Five Kings in all its glory and recreate the events from the books, or steer them in a different direction if you prefer.
Of course, we have also added many more things for your enjoyment. We keep improving the Megawar system (it should now be able to cope with multi-sided wars a la War of the Five Kings), and if you aren't careful you might end on the wrong end of a certain not-so-extinct scaly creature...
We're pretty confident that this build is one hundred percent not balanced, but we still think it's in a state worthy of release. We'll be especially looking forward to feedback on balancing the Clash of Kings scenario. Our next release will obviously focus at least somewhat on fixing issues reported in this one, but we also have a smorgasbord of planned new features that didn't quite make it into this release. You all still have plenty to look forward to.
Patch 0.2.1 Notes
This is mostly a bugfixing update. There were a few nasty bugs in 0.2, so we decided to fix them instead of waiting for the Clash of Kings to be ready. Apart from that, there have been some interesting new features, some of which you guys had been asking for a long time.
Patch 0.2 Notes
Now the mod is compatible with 1.06, but this is far from being the only change in this version. First and foremost, you might notice some new faces north of the Wall... These guys are there to stay, but they aren't completely fixed for now, and you might notice some strange behaviour. This is because we wanted to release the new version as soon as possible to let you guys play after 1.06. For this same reason, please be on the lookout for any bugs that might show up!
There have been some attempts to make things more interesting after Robert's Rebellion ends. The realm should be more unstable now, and characters have more options to raise hell. We will keep expanding on this in future versions.
In addition to this there have been an immense amount of tweaks, changes and additions, too many to mention here. We have taken some features from other popular mods, expanded on what we already had and added plenty of flavour.
Patch 0.1.1 Notes
After a week of work, we've finished work on the first patch! Here's a small sample of what you can expect:
A new scenario, the Crowned Stag, allowing you to skip that messy "War of the Usurper" business.
Many, many bugs fixed
Much tweaking of balance to make wars depend more on battles than on sieges
An improved map, adding Westeros's major roads
Two new CBs - rescue your imprisoned relatives, or pay the iron price
New events and event chains
The first prototype and implementation of our new Duel Engine
An extension to the Megawar system, allowing minor houses to declare for their lord or remain loyal to the Crown
Making - and using - wildfire
Much and more
This patch is essentially an "upgrade pack" for the existing Robert's Rebellion scenario, but we're aware of the stability problems that crop up afterward (specifically, there being too much of it) and we definitely plan to address those in future releases. For now, though, we think you'll find these new features to provide plenty of entertainment.
Balance should have changed a lot. You should now see much faster wars, with do-or-die battles which can actually change the course of the entire war. Attrition should be more manageable too, as long as you try to stick to the roads whenever possible.
You'll notice there's far less money around. The overabundance of it in our first release was actually a bug, which should be fixed now. Feel free to tell us whether you think we went too far or if we should decrease income even more.
Have fun![/li]
What is this?
A Game of Thrones is a total conversion mod for Crusader Kings II, based on George R. R. Martin's fantasy novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire.
Who can I play?
You can play as any landed feudal noble in Westeros or Essos, any Wildling/Pirate warlord, the Night's Watch, the merchant republics of the Free Cities, Slaver's Bay and the East (Republic DLC required) or Dothraki/Jogos Nhai nomads (Horse Lords DLC required)
What are some of the new features?
Knights, Maesters, our new "Megawar" system for handling civil wars, the Night's Watch, one-on-one duels between characters, several different kinds of magic, and much more.
How do I access the Century of Blood and Pre-Doom bookmarks?
The extra bookmarks are made as submods (this has made it easier for us to create). To access them you have to select both the main 'A Game of Thrones' AND 'AGOT relevent submod in the launcher. Only the extra bookmarks will be present when enabling the submod, disable the submod to bring back the other bookmarks.
The official submods can be downloaded here: agotcitadel.boards.net/thread/213/official-submods
Is Essos in the mod?
Yes
I haven't read all the books/seen all the show. Is it safe for me to play this mod?
To a limited extent.
All scenarios contain setting spoilers. If it's really important to you to not know who the Lord of Winterfell in 255 was, we suggest not playing the mod at all. If you only care about avoiding spoilers for the events of the books and show, however, you'll be safe so long as you follow these instructions:
- Don't read the house descriptions on the Game Over screen.
- Don't go mucking around in the mod's source files, especially the character history files.
- Choose your scenario wisely.
Note: All scenarios will have spoilers relating to details in 'The World of Ice and Fire'
Which scenarios contain spoilers?
- The Rogue Prince: The Rogue Prince Novella
- The Dance of the Dragons: The Princess and the Queen Novella
- The Crowned Stag: Spoilers - A Dance with Dragons (Books)
- The Greyjoy Rebellion: Spoilers - A Dance with Dragons (Books)
- A Clash of Kings: Spoilers - A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Dance with Dragons (Books) Season One, Season Two (Show)
- A Feast For Crows: Spoilers - Basically Everything
What DLC does the mod need/use?
The mod should run fine no matter which DLC is enabled/disabled.
However some of the DLC does add content to the mod, here is an overview:
Expansions
- The Sword of Islam: Adds only the ability for the player to have multiple wives as a character of the Valyrian religion.
- Legacy of Rome: Adds castration and blinding capability as well as a couple of flavour events. It does NOT add retinues.
- The Republic: Allows the Merchant Republic realms to be played, namely the Free Cities, Meereen, Yunkai, Astapor, Ibben, Asshai and the Guilds of Qarth. These realms will still be active even without the DLC.
- The Old Gods: Enables the concubine system for Drowned God, Dornish, Pirate, Eastern characters and others (Pre-DLC system will be used if not enabled). Also adds much flavour, including beserkers, adventurers, new rebels and runestones. Raiding is available for drowned god, wildlings, pirates and others even without this DLC.
- Sons of Abraham: Enables the council of the Most Devout and their election of the High Septon. Also adds many religious flavour events, including various Holy Order events/decisions.
- Rajas of India: Adds flavour to various far eastern cultures, including tiger hunts, gurus, reincarnation events and other flavour events.
- Charlemagne: Adds the chronicle, custom kingdoms (exisiting titular kingdoms are still available without DLC) and a 'hero knight' flavour event
- Way of life: Enables the focus system, allowing a ruler to pick any of the foci available with all associated events decisions. Seduction focus replaces 'visit chambers' interaction when DLC is enabled
- Horse Lords: Adds the nomad mechanics for Dothraki/Jogos Nhai (DLC now required to play these), landless adventurer mechanics for Ironborn, the wolf flavour events and land trade routes.
- Conclave: Adds the enhanced council/favour mechanics, new education focus system, dynamic mercenaries plus other misc flavour
- The Reaper's Due: Adds improved epimedic and illness mechanics, including hospitals and court physician treatment events. Adds prosperity and depopulation, as well as other flavour events.
- Monks and Mystics: Adds the devil worshiper societies (needs to be activated via game rules), crown jewell/weapon artefacts and new councillor job actions. Also add the paid quality of life features- allied AI orders and the improved child naming/prisoner interfaces
- Jade Dragon: Adds unjust conquest casus belli, chinese portraits/buildings which are used in Yi Ti, and some artifact/chinese flavour adapted for the mod.
- Holy Fury: Adds Shattered/Random World system, Warrior Lodge societies, Tiered-scar system, Kill List, Forge Bloodline ambition, Coronation decision, Sway and Antagonize decisions and other misc flavour. Roman portraits used in Asshai.
Other DLC
- Ruler Designer: Fully compatible with the mod
- Customiser: Fully compatible with the mod. Needed to enable renaming of dragons and artifacts.
- EU4 Converter: Not compatible
- Music Packs: The mod's soundtrack currently overrides them, however deleting "A Game of Thrones/music/songs.txt" will re-enable vanilla music
- African Unit Pack/Portraits: Used for the Summer Islanders, Basilisk Islanders and Sothoryos
- Mongol Portraits: Used for the Nefer and Yi Ti
- Turkish Portraits/units: Used for Lengi

- All other Face/Unit Packs: Not used
- Dynasty Coat of Arms Packs: Not used
- Sunset Invasion: Some things may happen if enabled...
Why no Game of Thrones music?
Adding the official Game of Thrones soundtrack to our mod would endanger our project. Using Intellectual Property is one thing, redistributing music that is currently FotM is another entirely! If you personally own the GoT Soundtrack however, there is no reason why you can't follow the following very helpful guide to adding music:
forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?593803-Adding-Own-Music-Mini-Tutorial-(Or-What-it-s-got-code-No-don-t-run-away!)
NOTE: We do not endorse Piracy, if you don't own it and want it: Buy it!
What is the 'Old Frames' option in the installer?
Paradox changed the style of the character frames in patch 2.4, selecting this option retains the old style of frames from before this.
I'm a Wildling and I have no idea what I'm doing.
The Wildlings don't respect dynastic ties the way Southerners do. They'll only follow strong leaders. The Wildlings receive a free Invasion CB on all their neighbors, and they receive significant military bonuses from having high prestige, but these bonuses come at two dangerous costs. First, Wildling provinces are ruled only at the Wildlings' pleasure. Anger the people too much, and you may find a revolt on your hands. Second, don't expect any higher-tier titles you create to outlast you - Wildling higher lordships and kingdoms can dissolve on their rulers' deaths. As a Wildling, you'll find that power is easy to gain, and much more difficult to keep.
I am a French speaker, why are the dynasty names in English?
For french users: si vous voulez jouer avec les dynasties traduites, rendez vous dans Mes Documents/Paradox/mod/A Game of Thrones/Traduction dynastie/FAQ où vous trouverez la démarche à suivre pour jouer avec les noms des Maisons en français.
I'm making a CK2 mod and would like to use your Duel Engine or any other part of the mod, or I'd like to use your Duel Engine as a standalone mod.
Altering or using content from the main AGOT mod for use in a submod or another vanilla mod is fine, permission is granted to all who wish to do so. If using content in a vanilla mod please credit "the AGOT team"
We've also released a generic, de-Westerosified version of the Duel Engine as a standalone mod here.
My character has like 25 martial, why is he losing to guys with really low martial in duels?
Martial ability, being a command rating, has no effect on duel outcomes. Traits are what determines this. The combat traits are the most important, whilst others like strong, weak and valyrian swords also contribute.
Are there supposed to be random silent sisters showing up in the Kingsguard/Nightswatch's court?
Yes, the game populates courts with random females. If you move the game simply adds more, this is the compromise we arrived at
Why are all High Septons called High Septon I?
A new High Septon extends the practice of septons giving up their family names by renouncing any kind of individual name. This is due to the belief that the individual becoming High Septon is no longer a man but an avatar of the gods.
Fabricating claims isn't working/happening too often, what have you done to it?
The chances of fabricating a claim have not been altered from vanilla, so having loads of claims or none at all in a certain period of time can happen.
BOOK/SEASON 2 SPOILERS: Why can't I play as Renly in A Clash of Kings?
We decided that moving the start of the scenario to after Renly's death provided better balance. The old setup with Renly alive and the original events is still possible to play by manually moving the start date to 11th Feb 8299.
Why are my wars ending inconclusively sometimes?
Flicking through different dates and characters on the character selection screen may cause wars to end inconclusively instantly when the game starts. This is a vanilla bug, if it does happen simply restart without flicking.
How do I colonise a ruin?
Ruined provinces are now colonised via a province decison, which is accessed by right clicking on the shield/coat of arms of the province.
Hodor?
Hodor.

PATCH NOTES
Patch 2.0 Notes
After 7 years of development, the mod has finally got to a point where I'm happy to slap the label 2.0 on it. Pretty much all the content that has been planned to be added is present, and much more. Therefore this seems like a good point to take step back. This does not mean the mod will not continue to be supported and updated, it just means no more major additions (at least until Winds of Winter appears in the distant future
). That all said, there are many cool additions in 2.0!:Highlights:
- New features based on Fire and Blood, including Royal Progresses and other flavour events
- Revamped Valyrian Freehold mechanics. The Freehold is now a Noble Oligarchy with special election mechanics. Also added many events and tweaks.
- Improvements and tweaks to the map setup
- Many, many database updates/improvements
- Can no longer befriend grieving dragons in local taverns

Patch 1.1.1 Notes April Fools

There are lots of small changes in this update. Some recent 'World of Ice and Fire' extracts have allowed us to expand our history setup, detailed changes are found below. We've also tried to make the various Westerosi regions slightly more unique by varying the troop composition found in each region. Other highlights include:
- Overhauled tourneys. Characters now match up in duel-like jousts.

- Slavery- an extensive system has been added to model the slave trade in the east
- Piracy- Take control of a pirate in the Stepstones or Baislisk Isles
- Ninepenny Kings Scenario- Try and conquer Westeros as Maelys Blackfyre
- Bleeding Years scenario
Other changes include:
- Added a Faith Militant Uprising bookmark based on information from the Worldbook preview

Patch 0.4.5 Notes
This release is a small update that mainly makes the mod compatible with CK2 patch 1.101, including some bug fixes.
Patch 0.4.4 Notes

Patch 0.4.3 Notes
Nothing too major in this release, but there are plenty of additions to try before The Old Gods, as well as the usual numerous fixes.
- Added a Quest to Valyria event chain
- Finally added mechanics to improve base value buildings on your castle holdings.
- New R'hllor magic options
- Blackfyre Rebellion re-balanced
Patch 0.4.2 Notes
Since we noticed some of you didn't like the Eastern Continent as much as we hoped, we removed it and decided to focus on Westeros again for the moment. And so, here's the new version! The first thing you'll notice is that armies can move again, but the most perceptive amongst you will no doubt notice we have two new scenarios: the much requested Blackfyre Rebellion and the spoiler-heavy A Feast for Crows (seriously, don't even think about clicking on it if you haven't read all the books). There are a lot of tweaks and additions, as usual. You'll find, for instance, that you have new options to employ Hedge Knights. We have begun adding sensible buildings at last, so that late game should hopefully be improved, and there has been quite an overhaul in certain parts of the map.
Patch 0.4.1 Notes (April Fools Edition)
In honor of Game of Thrones' return to television yesterday, we're proud to bring you a new release, and with it a feature you've all long awaited and fiercely demanded. That's right, as of patch 0.4.1, the game of thrones is no longer confined to Westeros!
We've worked painstakingly to let you cross the Narrow Sea and experience the wonders of the East, a land of merchant cities, savage horselords, fanatical worshipers of the One True God, and the ruins of an empire long fallen.
Patch 0.4.0.1 Notes
A simple compatibility update for CK2 v1.091. We simply focused on fixing as many bugs as we could in the short time between this release and the last one.
Patch 0.4 Notes
This release comes pretty quickly on the heels of 1.09, but it's no mere compatibility update. And no, Essos isn't in either. What we do have for you is a ridiculous amount of new content. Seriously, our changelog for this thing is six pages long. Here's the highlights:
- Airborne duels between dragon riders.
- A new scenario to show them off - the Dance of the Dragons.
- A second new scenario, the Conquest of Dorne.
- New Loyalist factions that make civil wars far more balanced, and factions far less of a pain.
- Several new features surrounding sexual politics, including stillbirths, abortions, and a brand new system for secret bastards.
- Our very own original soundtrack, courtesy of the extremely talented Aurelien Benharrats.
Patch 0.3.3 Notes
Another compatibility/bugfixing update, this one for v1.08. Mostly balancing changes and bugfixes, but as always there's a lot of new details and flavor to be discovered. And the most observant among you might also notice we took some steps towards finally giving religion the importance it deserves...
Patch 0.3.2 Notes
This is primarily a compatibility update, allowing you to play the mod with CK2 1.07, but we've also added three new scenarios from Westeros's ancient history. The Seven Kingdoms allows you to experience an alternate history where Aegon the Conqueror never united Westeros, while War of Conquest allows you to either try to recreate his conquests, or defeat him. Finally, After the Spring is set in 211, in the aftermath of the devastating Blackfyre Rebellion. King Aerys I reigns and the notorious Lord Bloodraven serves as his Hand, while the son of Daemon Blackfyre plots to avenge his father and fulfill his claim to the Iron Throne.
Warning: Some scenarios are currently the victim of an extremely strange bug, which causes some lord to be independent if the scenario is loaded immediately after loading any of the new scenarios. The worst occurence of this happens to Dorne and the Reach in the Crowned Stag. If you experience this bug, you can fix it on the game setup screen by selecting Robert's Rebellion, then selecting The Crowned Stag again.
Patch 0.3.1 Notes
This release is focused on bugfixes and tweaks. There are no earth-shattering new features this time, but of course that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of interesting additions. For instance, you might find out people are now much more sneaky when trying to take another people's job. Or some new colorful insights on Ironborn culture (which involve chopping other people's heads off and taking their stuff). Rich characters might have some options to rebuild certain megalomaniac constructions from the past, and you might also notice it's now quite dangerous to lose your main castle in a siege. There's plenty more flavour, too, if you can bear with it!
Barring surprises, our next release should happen after 1.07 comes out and will hopefully take advantage of its new features.
Patch 0.3 Notes
Everything is finally ready for the Clash of Kings! You can now relive the War of the Five Kings in all its glory and recreate the events from the books, or steer them in a different direction if you prefer.
Of course, we have also added many more things for your enjoyment. We keep improving the Megawar system (it should now be able to cope with multi-sided wars a la War of the Five Kings), and if you aren't careful you might end on the wrong end of a certain not-so-extinct scaly creature...
We're pretty confident that this build is one hundred percent not balanced, but we still think it's in a state worthy of release. We'll be especially looking forward to feedback on balancing the Clash of Kings scenario. Our next release will obviously focus at least somewhat on fixing issues reported in this one, but we also have a smorgasbord of planned new features that didn't quite make it into this release. You all still have plenty to look forward to.
Patch 0.2.1 Notes
This is mostly a bugfixing update. There were a few nasty bugs in 0.2, so we decided to fix them instead of waiting for the Clash of Kings to be ready. Apart from that, there have been some interesting new features, some of which you guys had been asking for a long time.
Patch 0.2 Notes
Now the mod is compatible with 1.06, but this is far from being the only change in this version. First and foremost, you might notice some new faces north of the Wall... These guys are there to stay, but they aren't completely fixed for now, and you might notice some strange behaviour. This is because we wanted to release the new version as soon as possible to let you guys play after 1.06. For this same reason, please be on the lookout for any bugs that might show up!
There have been some attempts to make things more interesting after Robert's Rebellion ends. The realm should be more unstable now, and characters have more options to raise hell. We will keep expanding on this in future versions.
In addition to this there have been an immense amount of tweaks, changes and additions, too many to mention here. We have taken some features from other popular mods, expanded on what we already had and added plenty of flavour.
Patch 0.1.1 Notes
After a week of work, we've finished work on the first patch! Here's a small sample of what you can expect:
A new scenario, the Crowned Stag, allowing you to skip that messy "War of the Usurper" business.
Many, many bugs fixed
Much tweaking of balance to make wars depend more on battles than on sieges
An improved map, adding Westeros's major roads
Two new CBs - rescue your imprisoned relatives, or pay the iron price
New events and event chains
The first prototype and implementation of our new Duel Engine
An extension to the Megawar system, allowing minor houses to declare for their lord or remain loyal to the Crown
Making - and using - wildfire
Much and more
This patch is essentially an "upgrade pack" for the existing Robert's Rebellion scenario, but we're aware of the stability problems that crop up afterward (specifically, there being too much of it) and we definitely plan to address those in future releases. For now, though, we think you'll find these new features to provide plenty of entertainment.
Balance should have changed a lot. You should now see much faster wars, with do-or-die battles which can actually change the course of the entire war. Attrition should be more manageable too, as long as you try to stick to the roads whenever possible.
You'll notice there's far less money around. The overabundance of it in our first release was actually a bug, which should be fixed now. Feel free to tell us whether you think we went too far or if we should decrease income even more.
Have fun!
