-I once had a game where Viscerys Targaryen was made lord of Plankytown, in Dorne, while Robert Baratheon was still king. This doesn't seem like a it should be a good career choice for Vicerys. (I'm assuming this happened because of the event where an exiled claimant asks for land in another realm.)

-Isn't it weird when characters get the abomination of incest modifiers when they're Valyrian religion and live in Valyrian provinces? You'd think the boys back home would be super liberal about that kind of thing.

-Winter seems to come very often in the Qartheen desert.

-One time, I was playing a Princess of Dorne, and the king called up a gigantic liege levy that was over 80K in size. He was at war with a small peasant rebellion in the far north. He didn't use ships. He just marched my 80K soldiers from Dorne to the North, and lost about half of them to attrition before the war ended. My soldiers never saw battle. (Maybe the GOT mod team should look at increasing the supply bonus you get from being in your own realm.)

-The dragon conquest CB is very, very strong. How strong is it? Strong enough to vassalize a super khal who had every Dorthraki province, adding all of those provinces to my realm after one war. You can pretty much use it to conquer the entire map in a very short amount of time, as far as I can see. Maybe it should be toned down so it can only be used once per life time (with a special exception for Aegon when attacking Westerosi kingdoms).

-I noticed that the capitals of big names like Volantis and Yin don't get the full 7 holding slots. It would be nice if they did!

-Speaking of Volantis, I had a really fun time playing a freeholder there. To whomever coded the voting system for Volantis, I want you to know that you're doing the lord's work. Thanks so much.

-Asshai culture is rather dull because all of their female characters look exactly the same. The masks are part of the lore, but maybe that's something that we should assume that they're wearing out in public. It's not something that needs to be represented in their portraits. It's kind of disruptive in its current form, because if you get an Asshai wife/concubine, and her children get Asshai graphical culture, they'll have the masks too, even if their real culture is something else in a completely different group

-The "standout slave in your camps" event seems to offer you the choice of gaining money or gaining nothing, which isn't a very good choice. Even if you don't want that slave, you can take him/her anyway, and then immediately sell him/her on the market for an easy 15 gold. An event choice to the tune of "gain 15 gold" or "don't gain 15 gold" probably wasn't intended, but it is what it is.

-I have never been raided by pirates, even when playing in realms right next to the stepstones.

-When Lord Paramount titles of Westeros pass to families other than the ones who traditionally have them, they never seem to use the traditional capitals. For example, I've seen the Starks lose the North in almost every game I've played, and when that happens, Winterfell is never the capital of the north again. (Maybe Lords Paramount should have an event that gives them a claim on their region's traditional capital?)

-Lesbian pregnancies are still a thing that happens, even in this mod.


Well, that's it for now. I'm having a lot of fun, so I just wanted to say thanks to the team for making this for the community.

You made few good points here, and I agree with almost all of them, except this one:

-The dragon conquest CB is very, very strong. How strong is it? Strong enough to vassalize a super khal who had every Dorthraki province, adding all of those provinces to my realm after one war. You can pretty much use it to conquer the entire map in a very short amount of time, as far as I can see.

Hell no! If I ride a bad ass dragon, they better bend the knee or else they shall feel my dragons wrath upon them. Blood of the Dragon has no limits but it's own.

Fair point, will look into stopping that event triggering if the exile has a kingdom claim.

-Isn't it weird when characters get the abomination of incest modifiers when they're Valyrian religion and live in Valyrian provinces? You'd think the boys back home would be super liberal about that kind of thing.
True, it isnt possible to add a valyrian only opinion bonus however.

-Winter seems to come very often in the Qartheen desert.
This is odd I agree, will look to see if something can be done to stop that.

-One time, I was playing a Princess of Dorne, and the king called up a gigantic liege levy that was over 80K in size. He was at war with a small peasant rebellion in the far north.

The AI is bad with tis sort of thing, nothing we can really do, allowing 80K stacks to move around without penalty would in effect remove attrition.

-The dragon conquest CB is very, very strong. How strong is it? Strong enough to vassalize a super khal who had every Dorthraki province, adding all of those provinces to my realm after one war.

We try to avoid special exceptions, if someone wants to conquer the world like Aegon Targaryen they should be allowed to do so :) Keeping it all together, with the vassal limit in play as well, is the challenge there.

-I noticed that the capitals of big names like Volantis and Yin don't get the full 7 holding slots. It would be nice if they did!
Volantis is split over 2 provinces so it is already fairly strong, Yin maybe, although most provinces with little info only have 3 really.

-Speaking of Volantis, I had a really fun time playing a freeholder there. To whomever coded the voting system for Volantis, I want you to know that you're doing the lord's work. Thanks so much.
Thanks :)

We'll probably adjust Asshai somewhat when we come to that chapter in the world of ice and fire. Will consider this at the same time.

-The "standout slave in your camps" event seems to offer you the choice of gaining money or gaining nothing, which isn't a very good choice. Even if you don't want that slave, you can take him/her anyway, and then immediately sell him/her on the market for an easy 15 gold. An event choice to the tune of "gain 15 gold" or "don't gain 15 gold" probably wasn't intended, but it is what it is.
This is true, however the slave is already supposed to be yours, so essentially the event is giving you the option to use that slave for use or sale. Rejecting the slave is a player only option in case they dont want the to clog up the court or the hassle of sale.

-I have never been raided by pirates, even when playing in realms right next to the stepstones.
Hardcoded AI limitation I'm afraid.

-When Lord Paramount titles of Westeros pass to families other than the ones who traditionally have them, they never seem to use the traditional capitals. For example, I've seen the Starks lose the North in almost every game I've played, and when that happens, Winterfell is never the capital of the north again. (Maybe Lords Paramount should have an event that gives them a claim on their region's traditional capital?)
The AI does actively try to get the capital province, I wouldn't want to make it too easy though.

-Lesbian pregnancies are still a thing that happens, even in this mod.
Vanilla bug

Well, that's it for now. I'm having a lot of fun, so I just wanted to say thanks to the team for making this for the community.
Thanks for the feedback!
