No idea how this happened but while playing as Robert Arynn i noticed Robb Stark and Joffrey's war ended within a few days of starting the game. I didin't really care but a year later i was randomly checking out the iron throne and i saw Joffrey was married to..................CATELYN TULLY aka Ned Stark's widow. What the hell? Laughed so hard.

My ironborn emperor of new valyria who had a dragon and was a master fighter was killed by an unskilled man at arms while reaving at the whispers.

EDIT:
The gear was
Me: Black Death(reforged valyrian sword), crab pincer, studded armor, a dragon, skilled fighter
Othors lowborn: a sword.

The text was something like
My footing slips and Othors lunges.

In The Crowned Stag, I (Ned Stark) unsuccessfully tried to prevent Tywin Lannister overthrowing Robert. A one-county vassal on Skagos (poor leader, poor swordsman) had refused the raising of troops, but apparently thought better of it a few days later and declared his own, entirely separate war on Tywin. Obviously he lost and was imprisoned a little after I had to bend the knee (and send Robb to KL as a hostage). Then a week or so later, as I had all the major characters selected as 'persons of interest', I received the news that Jamie Lannister, Kingslayer had been killed in personal combat after my errant vassal had demanded trial by combat.

Actually an even bigger WTF followed in the same year, when now son-less King Tywin (Tyrion assasinated long before, by some peasant) granted Lord Paramount of The Westerlands not to either of his brothers, to Cersei, or to a grandson, but to probably his lowliest single county vassal. By this time, Robert was Master of Arms to Hoster Tully and Varys was spymaster for the Starks.
 
In my very first game with this mod, using the second to last scenario, Robb Stark's rebellion was crushed within the first few months, the Young Wolf captured and executed. Joffrey didn't have long to celebrate this victory though, as a hostile fleet sailed up to King's Landing. Balon Greyjoy killed the young king and sat on the Iron Throne. Then he caught pneumonia and died.

Over the next several years, Theon Greyjoy, King of the Seven Kingdoms by the Grace of the Drowned God, had to fight off just about every other family in the realm - including the Targaryens in the face of the self-proclaimed Aegon VI, but not including the Starks, whose defeat left the North in utter anarchy and disarray. And he won. Time and again it seemed like the Laughing Kraken's luck was about to run out, but his deft strategic maneuvers and political brilliance (he trashed the Tyrells while Lannisters and the Young Griff were tearing away at the Crownlands, but made peace with Mace instead of killing him and so had the remaining Tyrell forces stab the Lannisters in the back while he wheeled around to deal with Aegon - to give just one example) allowed him to defeat all comers and hold the throne for decades, before the return of Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons finally destroyed him for good.

As a bonus, this was before I read the books or watched the show; the mod inspired me to do that. It was more of a WTF moment for every fan of the series I shared this story with than for myself. I must say I was rather disappointed by the canonical Theon Greyjoy and his accomplishments when I got to them. :p

The Crowned Stag scenario: Lord Petyr Baelish of the Night's Watch.

In the same game, Samwell Tarley became Lord Paramount of the Reach

I had 15 years of harsh to middle winter on all of Westeros and Essos. On top of this there were raging great plaque(s) and some sort of lung disease ravaging all the lands leading to lords and peasants dying in droves. After this the aztecs invaded Westeros and seem poised on taking over the whole continent by now with their event stacks of 100+k troops... Good thing is I'm in Essos as king of small Andal nation so I'm safe for now.

This sure is interesting and might be time for me to try getting that wild dragon from Yunkai lands (was left there when Daenerys was ravaging the lands) to reunite the world under the banner of house Greatwood!

P.S. I actually think they should model the great winter and invasion of Others+wights by using the aztec invasion mechanics as an optional game mode.

Definitely

Though it would help for them to actually show up in the books :glare:

Not that I actually give much of a crap about it. Give me politics and backstabbing, goddamnit.

how's this?

I don't have screenshots (I was too busy fighting for survival), but another game, playing as Robb Stark in A Clash of Kings scenario:

gets defeated because all my nobles abandon me; the North and the Riverlands are revoked, and granted to a southern baron. The northern lords all unite in a faction to put me back in charge of the North...and then, when we give the OK and revolt, they all jump ship. Dany marries Aegon and invades for the Iron Throne, loses first battle, is blinded and exiled and returns to the east. Aegon then invades and loses, but escapes with his eyes; eventually, seventeen different factions form to put the two of them on the throne, in the Stormlands, in the North, etc - basically, every single Lord Paramount and duchy-level title in the realm.

So, the South is in ridiculous civil war (which I am a part of, as Joffrey's Master-of-Arms); pissed at Joffrey, I plot to assassinate him.....and everybody in King's Landing except Cersei joins - even Jaime! - giving us 4000+ plot power in seconds; needless to say, he dies the next day. We then plot to kill Tonmen, only get to 350 plot power, but succeed in three weeks, so now Myrcella is on the throne, and three plots attempt to investigate her legitimacy.

In the North, we declare war to put me back on the throne...and lose handily. Robb Stark gets sent to the Night's Watch. Rickon takes over (why not Bran?). The North revolts again, loses within days, Bran is arrested and sent to the Wall, and so is Rickon! Would-be a game-over, but I went "observe" to see what would happen.

Then Maester Luwin and the Blackfish join the Watch, and Cat Tully is executed, and Roslin Frey is still bethrothed to Robb. Stannis is sent to the Watch. There are five plots to put someone else on the throne - Depose Myrcella, Dany's claim, Aegon's claim, Shireen's claim, and Sansa's claim(?).
 
I was playing as Dany and chose to go to Pentos. Got married, got troops, invaded Westeros. Decided to unleash fire upon King's Landing and ended up killing Joffrey, Sansa, Tommen, Cersei, Tyrion, Varys, etc. Felt really bad about it when I realised haha

Bleeding Years scenario, huge world wars between New Valyria led by the Targarians and a united Westeros. Crazy big battles on both sides of the ocean, hundreds of thousands killed every go.

As a one-province count of Lonely Light, that tiny single holding island on the far western end of a map, I became Iron King within 17 years of the game. I was messing around in the Basilisk Islands, nabbing 4 of them (got a Duchy title, yay) and reaving a bit in the rest - and suddenly have a random Emperor-tier title have no idea how this happened. I haven't even been even under the Iron Isles for a few years, I was under the Trident (Harren's son quickly lost them to the Greyjoys after Harren himself kicked the bucket, but still holds onto the Trident title long after the resident Independence faction has fired and reduced him to a few counties).

I don't even want that title, there's no way I can possibly hold onto a Kingdom with my one local holding and those remote wrong culture, wrong religion ones with new administration penalties.

I find it funny how it says "as the true Ironborn did in the past" while I'm playing the earliest start date and Aegon has been sitting idly on Dragonstone all the time though. :p

Once I was playing as Robb Stark and was leading in a battle when all of a sudden the single combat event launches.

I get pitted against a septon who has no combat trait what so ever. I thought 'this should be easy' so i attack him. each time i push him back, but i can't kill him and he never gets wounded from rolling out of the way. eventually he takes the offensive and i've got to defend myself. and he kills me.

Brave Robb Stark, who's a trained fighter and has a dire wolf was slain in personal combat but a mere septon
