[sub-mod] Colonizable and Green Valyria (retired)

Changed the requirements for the mines: for the first level mine you just need to be a slave owner (you can send your slaves to work there even if their 'home' is elsewhere, after all) - for the second level mine the province still must be your actual capital and have a level 4 or 5 slave camp.

Either download the mod again and start a new game (it's not save game compatible since I changed some more things), or extract this into the mod and continue playing: buildings.7z (7.43 KB)

It should extract as \common\buildings\ castles.txt and cities.txt

Thanks, that's really fantastic! Looking forward to trying it out. 

Sure, there's a chance...

With Valyria as my capital, I hired a merc fleet, it spawned in the river near c_valyria (seemingly under the river), but was not able to sail out of it.

Have you maybe thought about giving Dany the choice to go to Valyria(not the capital) as opposed to the Jade Sea, Slavers Bay or Westeros?

Had this idea while playing today. I'd rather conquer the Slaver cities from Valyria than get them (partly) handed to me by event.

Well lore-wise she also has no reason to go to the Jade Sea, stay in Slavers Bay or travel to Pentos to be married to Aegon. But they are still options the player is given.

You make Valyria colonisable but who do you want to actually go there?
It's far away from everyone except Volantis and the dump that is Mantarys. And these two are never going to touch Valyria or the Lands of Long Summer.
Ghis won't do anything, they won't even try to colonise Old Ghis or the Isle of Cedars.

I am not asking to give her all of Valyria through an event. That would be stupid.
But let's say she decides to go to Pentos. Well she probably won't take the Demon Road and instead travel by ship.
Near Valyria or The Land of Long Summer one of her Dragons (hurr durr Drogon) might take off to the mainland. She obviously wouldn't leave him behind.
She could encounter ruins or any other reason that might lead her to say "fuck it" and stay. Her dragons could feel at home or whatever.

Obviously she would start with one province being a colony. Frequent bad omens or attacks by people disfigured by greyscale or diseases.


But it's not more far fetched than her going to the Jade Sea, which is in the entirely wrong direction to Westeros or her staying in Slavers Bay.

I just don't see anything ever happening in Valyria.



Oh and one advice, it would be far more user friendly if you'd number the versions of your mods.
Or write date of the update under the link.

I have a bone to pick about the birth defects in Valyria. I think you're on to something by making colonizing Valyria suck, but I would prefer it not be permanently shitty. Could birth defects go away after the colony is complete for X years? After X generations (having built an immunity to whatever is in the air)? After enough of the peninsula is colonized? Special, expensive buildings that mitigate, if not completely remove the sorts of penalties you want to include? I also like your idea of making Valyrian colonies be a hotbead for diseases and plagues.

In any case, Valyria has some great history and infrastructure. If a player wants to invest the centuries of time investment, not to mention gold investment, to wrestle the peninsula back from The Doom, I think it should be designed to be rewarding yet incredibly costly. Just my 2 cents.

Also some ideas for Valyrian colony events: Stone men attacks, Greyscale plagues, losing supply vessels to boiling seas/kraken, pirate raids, lava flows destroying settlements, definitely a province modifier increasing build time/cost?
