They're not allowed to marry out of their RELIGION, and it's an intentional feature. The Ironborn would only take other Ironborn as their "rock wives", while their salt wives, or concubines, would be non-ironborns captured in raids. It'd break very strongly with lore if they could marry anyone who didn't worship the Drowned God.

The Ironborn could be changed to do that my changing their graphical culture I think, though I'm not sure if longships themselves are based on culture or religion.

You're completely wrong, there is multiple examples of Ironborn lords marrying mainlander women.

Having them unable to marry women from the mainland is lore-breaking if anything.
 
How did you pull off victory? I'd be interested to know.

I squashed each army as they landed on the islands, as nobody can muster a large enough fleet to transfer large amounts of troops at once, I crushed them before more can land in and that, combined with me controlling all my holdings, racked up enough warscore to enforce my demands and win. Also it helped that the Starks declared war on the Iron Throne for their own independence.

I had this discussion on the dedicated forums and everyone said what I just said. That's surprising to me. I don't see a pressing need for Drowned God followers to marry mainland women though.
 
I now have two Valyrian steel swords.

Well, since I'm playing as Theon who just inherited the Iron Isles from Balon, marrying into the Starks makes a measure of sense.

Is there a line of code I can change to allow it?
 
How do you do it ? I've read somewhere that you can get them randomly in battle but even if I try the best I can to fight against Valyrian swords owners it never happend.

If you're Ironborn, raid a place where somebody with a Valyrian sword is reigning, for Longclaw I raided Bear Island but make sure you SIEGE through the holding instead of just raiding it for gold.

It's not an intentional feature. It's because of the 1.10 patch that made inter-faith marriages pretty much impossible.
 
Aegon V 'the Great' just kicked my butt back into the sea and I had to swear fealty to the Iron Throne again. Hilariously, this Aegon is the same Aegon the Unlikely in the actual books. He did inherit the throne after literally everyone else died.

It is intentional, seeing as you can marry Old Gods - Faith of the Seven currently, whereas Drowned God followers weren't changed.
 
Is there a way to change it then? followers of the lord of light can't marry either, and that bothers me:(

Looking at the religion file, that's because Old Gods - Faith of the Seven are both in the Westerosi religion group, while Drowned God has it's own, and that isn't a recent change to take advantage of the changed game code. Considering you could marry previously, it doesn't seem to be intentional. Only the mod makers can confirm, but you're not right beyond wishing it to be so right now, whereas the reverse at least has precedence.
 
They really should change this marriage thing.
they could do this easily by putting the Drowne-god religion into the Westerosi category...

Is there a way to just do this by tampering with the code? I hate to keep this game on pause. I'm very proud of the fact that I captured the Red Woman and made her my salt wife.
