[SPOILERS]About a certain landing...

[Yorel]

So I currently have a playthrough on the mod where I'm playing as a custom ruler in Wendwater with a Crowned Stag start. I was enjoying that game and everything was going perfectly... But then on August 15, 8314 I get a Game Over screen. I had no idea why that Game Over was happening to me as I was at peace and my dynasty wasn't going to die out even if my current Lord had kicked the bucket (He had 2 sons and 4 grandchildren). And my liege had pretty much no reason to revoke my title since we got along rather well, with him being my nephew and me being his Master-at-arms.

I only understood after having a look a the messages I had at important messages and saw this:
Lord Aegon of Wendwater has declared Lord Ageon of Wendwater's war for the Iron Throne on King Stannis the Just
(I would have posted a screenshot had I known how to link the damn things from Steam)

So basically, I lost because Young Griff and the Golden Company landed and thus Young Griff/Aegon usurped my title to be able to push his claims on the Iron Throne.

I imagine it's probably WAD and I just got unlucky to be lord of the province on which Aegon and his men landed to claim the Iron Throne out of all the possible provinces he could have landed on. I'm still bringing it up out of doubt and also because I think this needs to be reworked a bit if possible. For example, can't Young Griff/Aegon be made an Adventurer instead of usurping a title when he lands? This way, the people who choose to start as a count-level lord would have no reason to fear playing on the easter coast of Westeros...

He always lands there, you will have to find another starting location unless you have another start date

That's odd; in most of my games, he lands at Rain House instead.

Yeah pretty sure he can land in different places.

I think it's Wendwater, Rain House, North Cracklaw Point, and Dyre Den that are on the list

One for the mod-makers, if they're watching the thread: Would there be an easy way to insert checks into the relevant event that basically say "Don't land here if it's the human player's primary / only demesne holding"?

Nah, I restarted and he didn't land (which I think is also among the possibilities). It was just me being unlucky as I suspected.

That would be a good solution, we will add that for the next update.

Making him an adventurer could work as well, the adventurer mechanics were added after we made this event. We will look into whether that works.

Ok, so I am still on my game and I have advanced a bit since last time. Posting here because it still has to do with the event.

I eventually got the event of Aegon and the Golden Company landing, though this time I was lucky enough so that he didn't steal my lands (he landed in Dyre Den). However, what bugs me is that Aegon landed on June 22, 8334... When he was 52.

Is this WAD? Because honestly, I think it's hard to believe a 52 year old man claiming to be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen coming to retake what was rightfully his. The whole point of Young Griff/Aegon is that he has the right age true, but he also invades when he is young and strong.

I'm still on version 0.9.3 by the way, so I don't know if 0.9.5 fixed that (though I don't think so)

While you're at it, I noticed while playing in the "After the Spring" bookmarks that the various Blackfyre invasions appear to use the same setup as Aegon's invasion. Probably wise to clean those up as well.

They have as well
