Good evening gents

For the past couple of months I've been scraping together a mod that improves and fixes around all aspects of the Game of Thrones Mod. From combat to economy. Even expanding a bit further into a canon-based Winds of Winter bookmark that should allow for a playthrough to follow Martin's plan for the books. The mod is currently playable but far from its final form. That is why i'm looking for a few people that will be able to put in a little effort and help take this to the end. (Required only basic modding skills) (AFFC spoilers ahead)

Some of the features are/will be:

. More dangerous battles ( Higher chances of dying or being wounded/captured )

. Dynamic economy ( Income will vary greatly with the conditions of the province, such as prosperity, sieges, diseases, etc )

. Dynamic settlements ( Cities and castles now grow/shrink dynamically based on the province's conditions )

. Buildings are destroyed at sieges and can be rebuilt by repairing them

. Holdings upkeep ( Large castles/cities require money to garrison and maintain, if you cannot afford it the holding will likely shrink into a smaller castle )

. Predestination ( Certain children such as canon characters will follow a certain personality pattern during their education, with different tendencies to traits and fighting skills )

. Overhauled Young Griff's invasion ( Powerful lords will receive an event and option to join his cause when he makes his claim for the throne )

. Fewer marriages ( If possible, the AI will have its tendency to get married right away reduced )

. Rebalanced/smarter realm factions

. Overhauled battles with higher casualties for both sides, higher influence of commanders martial, strategies and terrain, as well as warscore and prestige values )

. Choose the name for your dragon

. Increase chance of Davos finding Rickon

. Add Cersei's imprisonment and trial

. Add Jon's murder and resurrection

. Overhaul characters portraits

. Overhaul Lady Stoneheart's band and war

. And much more

Plus:

. Add 100ish flavor events for rulership, family, relations, diplomacy, feuds, court, etc ( With different results based on chance, traits, atributes and your choices. And long term consequences such as income and provincial stability )

. General changes to make the AI act a bit smarter

Volunteers please express your interest and sign up below for contact.

For a more confortable wait for the next book.

Hmm, I'm not really sure about how good some of these suggestions are. For more dangerous battles, you already have the option to increase the frequency of battlefield duels. Upkeep costs for garrisons etc. are already represented by the fact that they decrease tax income. IIRC, I think there are already options to rename your dragon, provided you do so within a few days of it having spawned.For character portraits there are already a myriad of different submods, and rather than starting a new project, it might be better just to help an existing one.

There a number of great ideas here. Regarding predestination and such, it'd be great if that could become an optional game rule, in the same way that you can choose to have more historical outcomes in HIP. I'd be interested to see what thoughts for the dynamic economy and settlements you might have, and that is certainly something I think would be really worthwhile. I am curious though, have you approached the devs with any of your ideas? A lot of your suggestions seem like they could just be incorporated into the base mod, and wouldn't be out of place.

1. While battlefield duels are interesting they are not the only way one dies in a battle, what this mod changes also increases the chance that you'll be wounded in a battle, or captured by the enemy.
2. The higher upkeep is supposed to fit in with the new economy system, instead of just reducing income I want armies to actually cost heavily on your treasures.
3. I started to work on this before you could rename your dragon, so that feature is now obsolete and will be removed.
4. The portraits also have been made obsolete by the new update
5. Im not sure I will be able to make predestination game-rule-based, but its supposed to work discreetly so that you wouldnt even notice while playing
6. The dynamic economy will work based on leveled province modifiers, events that affect prosperity and new events that will tie it all together. Lets say you have been enjoying a period of peace and your ruler is very competent, over the years you will receive events that will increase the "prosperity" of that province, if you reach a level X on your province modifiers, there will be a significantly higher chance that your city/castle will be upgraded. The same works for bad modifiers, after sieges or incopetent rulers or low income your city/castle will get bad province modifiers which will increase the chance of your city/castle going back another level.

I have not aproached the Devs because im not sure if thats something they would like as part of the mod, first we need to have it working as a submod. But thats another obstacle, because Im not sure how the education system is working right now, so editing it is being quite a challenge.
