Ok. So i've been playing this mod since it pretty much came out. But I finally feel like i'm having one of those epic games I always read about but never seem to experience. I was having a devil of a time with the Zokan family with Tyrosh. I'm playing as the Iron Borne and I pretty much suicided Balon because in my Universe the Iron way meant to shove your sword in dad when he bitch slapped you and told you he was going to invade your friends kingdom. Dad obviously wasn't the brightest because some one offering you a crown and independence from the Iron Throne along with the Westerlands isn't you sowing at all. So Theon ended up winning the kingsmoot due to resets and intervention by the drown god.. Long story short Theon and Robb ended up as a little Eddard and Robert of their day and won. Theon had to keep going north because of white walkers and mance rayder though. Mostly because Robb was fighting what was left between Danny and Shireen Baratheon. Danny eventually lost but I don't know when or how. And Robb was able to win northern independence. The iron throne faced a ton of rebellions after these losses and the Reach stayed out of everything after Stannis took the throne. Dorne was Dorne. This is how I got set up in a pretty good position so I decided to consolidate my hold on the Westerlands and not expand. Around this time I decided to go with Theon becoming a cruel ruler for having to rule the Iron Born. He also has Ramsay Snow assassinated around this time FTW! =D
It seemed like a typical game of painting the map. But this is when things got interesting. As most of you know the Iron Islands have to war every so often. Well eventually it came that time and I had reaved already. So I really couldn't put it off again or any more. So I picked an embargo war where I could hit something with my ships in Essos. I picked Tyrosh. The war went as expected. I had a pretty good advantage with little amount of extra the westerlands gave me in manpower. Well when I capture Tyrosh the whole Zokan family is there. Well I take everybody. So the only person released in the peace deal is the Archon Syrio. It was just an embargo war anyway.
Well Theon decides it'll be a great idea to offer the Archons captured son up to the drown god. Blind the archons daughter. And if that wasn't enough he forced himself on the archons sister and then made her a salt wife. Then killed some other captive who was related to the Archon. Now. I have never went this overboard. Which is why the what happens next is what all this is about. Shortly after all this, Asha Greyjoy died in a mysterious accident. To tell you the truth I blamed this on Euron since Asha was the heir at the time. But then Theons bastard was murdered and low and behold it was Archon Syrio Zokan. It's around this time I look at our relations. They read as follows
State Diplomacy +14
Declared War -25
Spouse Snatcher -50
Demands Vengeance -150
Blinded my Child -50
Forced upon my kin -50
Tortured my kin -40
Foreign religion -20
I don't think I need to go one how Theon has grieved this digital man. But all i'm curious about, is does this happen quite often if you do stuff like this? I've never had a "well i'm going to kidnap and torture your family member" then the cpu respond "fine, we'll assassinate one of yours". I'm interested to know if they try and kidnap members of your family to get any type of payback. I may have to go back to Tyrosh and hit the Zokan family with a rains of Castamere if that's the case.
