Except you do, since you have access to the entire realm to pick your tutor, whereas you're kinda stuck with the people in your court and your possibly shitty maester if you're a measly 1 county lord. And the scope is completely different. If you're a one county lord, you can't pay that well to educate your children, so the tutors won't fleece you for all you're worth. When you're king of the Seven Kingdoms, you have the entire Royal Treasury at your disposal, and it stands to reason that tutors would demand much more.

Here's the thing; you get the exact same result no matter what. So, while its understandable that private tutors (not guardians; the education is clearly split between a private tutor and a guardian) would find a way to hike their costs up, we're talking maybe four or five times the amount at the absolute maximum. Its entirely possible to get around 30 times what a 1 county lord would pay, which is beyond ridiculous. Beyond that, it also assumes that you don't shop around and instead just take the first one you see. Even the best warrior in the world would think twice about asking someone for 10 times what his competition is asking (assuming competition is asking 45, which would be a fairly reasonable hike up even if it is three times what a petty lord would pay, and best is asking 450, which is typical at that rank).
 
Was just checking around at the Feast for Crows start. Shouldn't Baelor Blacktyde be Faith of the Seven?

And alive?
 
This MOD is a very powerful educational tool: it made me realize that "A song of Fire and Ice" story... Doesn't make any sense!
The Iron Throne Claimants are:
- A sterile girl with no relatives
- An old man with a deformed daughter, a room full of aborted fetuses and a zealous, violent, missionary religion.

Two sure recipes for years of civil wars! :D

Stannis isn't that old, only 35. He looks older in the show. Also the fetuses are not aborted, but stillbirths, and actually were invented for the show with no book evidence at all.
Also you're forgetting a few claimants her, presumably because you haven't read the books :p
 
Also, it is sometimes doubted whether Dany is truly infertile or just an idiot.

And Daenerys doesn't have much to do with civil war with Westeros. Balon, Renly, Robb, Stannis
and Aegon
are much more relevant.
 
He isn't very much alive - he was cut into seven pieces, as punishment ordered by Euron.

Moreover, he isn't FoS, as he wouldn't be able to raid then, I think.

It says in the description that it's at "the beginning of the book of the same name". He's alive at the beginning. It's only after the Kingsmoot that he's carved up like a thanksgiving turkey; and that's in Chapter 19.

Probably right about the inability to raid, but, still, it would be accurate to the books.

Bear in mind that scenario begins with Euron's invasion of Shield Islands going on, which is after a Kingsmoot.

Therefore, description isn't entirely correct.

As for the FoS: I think this is the case when gameplay takes precedence.

I guess that makes sense. Too bad, cause it would have been an interesting challenge to try and bring the Faith of the Seven to the Iron Islands. Could even have had some flavor events. "I am here to enlighten you heathens and bring you into the glory of the Seven who are One. Somehow. It makes sense in context. Please stop worshiping Dead Cthulhu The Drowned God."

That is one thing that bothers me about the whole cannon. Why don't the various Deities have names? Like Zeus, or Ba'al, or Nyarlathotep.

Edit: With one very notable exception, obviously.

Either of which isn't a quality for a good monarch.

In an older AFFC game i managed to have a daughter from Jon and Dany after she seized the Throne; born when they were both 38 and crushing Lannister's armies (i suppose the fertility went so low it come back round). The wonderful Meera Stark stabilized Westeros and granted 30+ years of peace; i was thinking this could be a good possible saga ending (Giving "Fire and Ice" an interesting new meaning).

No i didn't read the books but I know more characters are going to show up; the GoT story never picked me, but i continue to watch the show, it's entertaining and has terrific actor performances.

You are asking about Faith of Seven? If I were to answer that, I'd point out that they are not even „gods”. Naming them „Mother”, „Father”, etc. instead of „R'hllor”, „[someothergodname]” etc. helps to understand that they are facets of the same, one, god (to some point like the concept of Holy Trinity), and not autonomous beings.

As for Drowned God, Storm God, etc. … I'd place my bet on some sort of sanctity of the name. He may have name, just somewhat sacred one his followers shouldn't use. Seriously, if you worhipped Yellow King would you call him „Hastur”? :)
 
Technically, the Judeo-Christian god doesn't have a name either in common parlance -- he is merely God, or some other attribute assigned to him. (Yahweh basically means "creator" and is not a proper name.) The Seven are based on Catholicism, where you distinct the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Only the Son has a proper name, and that is only due to having been a human in a human society that liked naming things. So, imagine that the Seven together make the Sevenfold God. Really, unless you have a significant pantheon, you don't need nor want names for your deities.
 
One thing they should definitely include in the next mod is that once your formulate a kingdom/empire i.e. the iron throne or the kingdom of the Trident. You should be given the option to formulate your own king's guard or queen's guard. I mean it would still be cannon to do so since Robb had his retinue of guards and Daenrys has her Queen's guard. Hell I like forging my own throne (The Trident). I don't want the kings guard in kings landing. I want in my home province. What do you think? The option should be that once your form a kingdom your given the option to grant a castle and recruit several men and in certain cases women for your guard. If you lose the kingdom your guard should dissolve. This I think would be very interesting..... Also, yes I said women just to account for people like Brienne or Dacey Mormont. Any suggestions and if the developers see this post. I think it would be really cool.


Sincerely, A devoted AGOT Mod Fan and A Song of Ice and Fire Fan. :cool:
