White Walker found the Horn of Winter

[MyFaceBurns]

As the title suggests, the White Walker ruler character has found the Horn of Winter in my game. I'm not sure on the implications of this. Should I be worried?

In the book its supose to knock down the wall

 

[ElBardo]

We are all doomed!

Does it actually have any purpose in-game?

It knocks down the Wall. In other words it removes the 'the Wall' provincial building that the NW has in its counties, removing their defensive bonus.

It means you have to, depending how far you are to the south of the wall, quickly plan to either seize the Iron Throne and unite the Westerosi against the common thread or flee to Essos (acquire a peace of land and move your capital there), assimilate and survive the onslaught.

Would very gladly read an AAR / watch a playthrough of a Westerosi family managing to flee Westeros to the very edges of Essos and then in exile gather an army including dragons and push back to destroy the blight.

At least the Boltons will get what's coming to them.

Unfortunately all that happened was Winter seizing everything beyond the wall. This lead to an endless harsh winter where all the peasants died and no aggressors won wars any more because attrition killed everything everywhere. They never even tried to invade anything. The Night's Watch and The North (being independent because I started in 7996) tried to fight the Others a few times but lost every time; they just couldn't raise enough troops in such a difficult winter. A united Westeros could've probably done it but the difficulty in fighting wars ensured that the kingdoms would never be one. I eventually saved up enough gold to hire the Golden Company and a few other mercenary companies, raised up all my troops, called all my allies (I'm playing an independent North Clans kingdom with six duchies in the north of The North) and went into the lands of Winter. I actually managed to win thanks to my great martial and all those mercenaries but it was close. It took another two or three years before the winter ended.

Annoyingly a couple of years later an Other inherited(???) land from one of the Wildling rulers: White Walkers 2: Electric Boogaloo?

Wait, so they didn't take The Wall? The Night's Watch beat them back?

No, there's been a bug for the latest few versions that seems to stop both Winter and Wildlings from taking conquering the Wall territory. I haven't seen Mance get his free invasion of the North even when he manages to beat the Night's Watch in I don't know how long, and Winter never even seems to attack the Wall, they just sit and do nothing beyond it.

I ve seen this happen as well, where WWs were never really expanding from beyond the Wall, which kind of leaves them be without paying any attention for me in most of games

 

[Slavicist]

Wow. You should report that to the AGOT development team.
