[@Soul_Tomato]

Thank you for your contribution to this amazing mod :)

[@Hektols]

This mod is the main reason I got Crusader Kings 3, I included the Valyrian Steel submod that allows to fund expeditions to Valyria and the Bookmark submod. I started playing as Rhaegar during the Defiance of Duskendale when he didn't get married yet, I managed to get him engaged to Lyanna, got a dragon egg from an expedition to Valyria and after visiting various Dragon Lore sites I managed to hatch the egg using Dragonstone's volcano and using Rhaegar's pet cat as sacrifice, getting a Destined Dragon. I eventually deposed Aerys, got crowned and got more dragon eggs for the children who came, the Velaryons joined a rebellion and as punishment I confiscated their Valyrian Steel blade Seafoam that I got reforged into a dragon theme blade... The possibilities of this mod are incredible.

You may like the new mod that lets you colonize old Valyria. The devs are making great progress on it.

[@Soul_Tomato]

I don’t know if they could do much about a free mod made by people who made all their own assets and implements. It’s a weird grey area, like many mods are. Although tbh I don’t know anything about the legality but if projects like Skyblivion aren’t a problem then I doubt something like this would be.

[@Ganlix]

@@Soul_Tomato Well Skyblivion has a deal with Bethesda. The deal is that as long as they create their own assets and only let players who have both games play it, then it's fine. So I don't think AGOT mod is a problem.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

Well the CK2 mod was extremely popular too and they seemingly didn’t care, plus it’s a mod made using custom made assets that is free to download, so I don’t think they’d have much to work with legally speaking. If the mod somehow made use of show assets (like 3D models) or if it was being sold by the modders then they would do something about it

[@dept308]

@@Ganlix Yeah I agree, CK3 AGoT makes all their assets, sometimes they incorporate other things from other mods but that is of course with agreement between both modders involved and as long as they don't take or get profit off of it, they're good.

[@JayRo72896]

even in its relatively barebones state at launch AGOT was a bunch of fun, but seeing how many crazy custom features they've added since then is mind boggling. It's crazy to say that a fan made ASOIAF mod changed my life but the CK2 version got me to buy CK3 at launch, and while waiting for this mod playing base CK3 really got me to look into medieval (and eventually broader) history which in now one of my favorite hobbies and has shaped who I am as a person. The fact that CK3AGOT is so good even in this relatively early state is just the cherry on top. I hope more people who itch for quality GoT content learn about this mod so they can get the kind of enjoyment I've gotten from this incredible dev team over the years.

[@ihaveachihuahau]

ck2 AGOT was also an insane mod that's definitely worth checking out. Completely changes the game, it's almost a new game. You can have dragons, use them in battles and sieges, there's multiple bookmarks from events in the books. There's white walker invasions (using sunset invasion dlc lol). It's really fleshed out. I haven't played the ck3 version as much. I really like ck2 though vs ck3. The ck3 one is really good too but they're only just starting out relatively.

[@ihaveachihuahau]

[@johndmitrikozak2441]

Bro how did you put a ck3 trait icon on your name? 😂

[@Krypto-xy8ch]

Mount and Blade Bannerlord can give a good GoT experience with mods, it’s not as fleshed out politically and much more combat-strategy focused, but with the right mods you can have a great experience. Realm of Thrones is the base GoT conversion mod, Player Switcher 2 allows you to play as, Fourberie and Diplomacy improve politics , and you can go nuts with other mods to make it even better. A drawback to RoT is that it starts just before the War of the Five Kings, but a HOTD conversion mod is in development. Definitely a good game/mod if you like the spectacle of a large battle (1000 troops, can be increased with mods), or would like to be more of a military strategist!

[@resentfuldragon]

Big facts, mount and blade 2 is a great game for mods like that, the Game of thrones, and Warhammer mods are excellent and soon we are getting some great historical mods like Shokuho which is in sengoku period japan. The previous Mount and Blade 1 also has tons of great mods, with awesome mods for Star wars and Lord of the rings

[@perapapic3683]

The Bannerlord's mod Realm of Thrones was actually caught stealing assets from AGOT. They stole the Red Rain model then banned people from their discord after they pointed it out, from what I gathered the issue is resolved now but it has made me suspicious of the mod.

[@OhboyHereWeGo818]

It's even better with the new roads to power DLC. I brought back House Reyne and took revenge on all of those filthy corrupt Lannisters. I kidnapped Tywin, and he sat in jail as I murdered his children and sacked his home. House Lannister no longer existed in the westerlands.

I had so much fun with the CK2 AGOT mod. You could play a number dates as far back as the immediate aftermath of the Doom of Valyria, had a full map to pick characters from, and it had so many little neat additive features like those dynastic banks you could found and operate. Even the soundtrack was fire. It is probably one of the best mods ever made for CK2.

[@turtleguyfan]

i’ve always loved the idea of a Shadow of War esque game set during The War of the Ninepenny Kings as Barristan Selmy. Set exclusively in the Stepstones and in a year that’s a nice timeline sweet spot of being before the main series but also far enough along in the timeline that it still has characters we’d recognize and for dragons to not be a factor.

[@kratom_khan]

I'd rather play as a nobody like septon Meribald so you could progress like Henry KCD and in the end help Barristan fight Maelys as a final boss fight. Gods that would be amazing

[@Xazamas]

I have to mention that books describe Storm's End as having three "drum" towers. It predates all surviving in-universe historical records, supposedly being built to withstand wrath of the Sky God an Sea Goddess. (The first Storm King married their daughter, dooming her into mortality. He built several failed castles, Monty Python style, until "Bran the Builder" helped him build the one that still stands.) There's a fan theory that Westeros is actually "post-post-apocalyptical." Storm's End would be a repurposed nuclear power plant, with cooling towers converted into fortifications.

[@nullifye7816]

[@admontblanc]

Tbf I don't think Warner would be able to make a game as cool as a mod for ck3 can be. The only other interesting got related game that I can think of is the bigger bannerlord mod for got. This happens a lot when companies buy licenses to make games based on these huge media IPs. The Witcher series is like a rare exception to this rule, Star Wars has a couple of good games that remain relevant with the KOTOR games, but has a ton of trash in between. Lotr also had one or another decent game but much more carried by the IP than anything else. There are officially made got games out there, but most of them suck, the taleworlds one was probably the most interesting but those games were all more visual novel things which only left fans wanting for something more substantial.

[@Philluminati0n]

It's unfortunate, but GRRM is the reason AGOT is the best ASOIAF gaming experience we have. You would think that with the success of BG3, GRRM would have his people kicking down Larian's door to bring his world to life as they did for Faerun. Instead, we get more mobile games.....

Be it Mount & Blade this or other games, the reason why modders are often able to make better "games" than some developer is because those games already have such a solid base it is often a huge surprise to me how these companies dont just go to an already made game and instead of making a mod decide to hire them to make an expansion for their already great game that uses their copyright, only difference is that they often overreach with their copyright forbidding certain things from happening that would make gameplay better that modders obviously dont have to abide by.

[@7gbeng]

I always played CK2 only with this mod, it was so much fun to make Robb Stark win the war, the dream of every member of the "Stark Team"

[@Sabrowsky]

I had a game of CKAGoT that was really some shit straight outta the books. As lord of Harrenhall, my character managed, through political machinations, and supporting the right people, expand his lands significantly. At the age of 38, the lord I was playing as, however, had no wife, as his first wife had died in childbirth, this changed when he met and married one of the Targaryen King's younger daughters. Despite their age difference of almost 20 years, they ended up having a happy relationship, which did lead onto love. This love, however, was cut short by the blackfyre rebellion which not only toppled the Targaryens, it killed all of their extended family, including the barely 25 year-old princess Rhaenira, married to the lord of Harrenhall. For 20 years, said lord stewed in hatred, as he kept increasing his demesne, taking Riverrun from a particularly incompetent Tully by his 50th birthday. When war came again, the Blackfyre king called upon him, but he raised his flag in rebellion. The 60 year old Lord of Harrenhall, lord protector of the Riverlands, marched into King's landing supported by the forces of the Lannisters after having burned the Vale down to the ground. They would go on to capture the Blackfyre king, but didn't use him as a bargaining chip to end the war. No, his head rolled, the Lord Protectors made sure of it, but before bringing the sword down to his neck, the old riverman lord asked him to send his wife his love. (That last part is my headcanon but it was a fuckin rollercoaster of a game).

[@CaspianNomad]

With regular CK3 I really didn’t feel the benefit of the Tours & Tournaments DLC, but as soon as I installed this mod it became significant. Tournaments actually hold a purpose and progress the story. A mod that not only adds features but enhances the pre-existing mechanics and DLC is insane The only nitpick I really had is that playing as Stannis felt weak because you cannot demand conversion. Has this been fixed yet?

[@Soul_Tomato]

[@CaspianNomad]

[@DavionX13]

What makes Crusader Kings the best go-to game for GoT is that both of them have a good point in intrigue. Both of them purely focus on the overall effects of the political web. Court intrigues such as events when choosing heirs to the throne, granting lands to friends that can plot against you in the future, occurrence of rebellions due to a difference in culture and religious belief, and they have a bountiful supply of drama and lore we players can delve into as a side quest while entertaining ourselves in the main story. CK is a simulator game; so you can imagine, theorize, alter and apply an unlimited supply of "What If?" scenarios in the fictional world of Westeros, just like in vanilla mode. On another note, I have played other games that have GoT mods. Mainly M&B's Warband mods-ACoK and ASoIaF and the sequel, Bannerlord's Realm of Thrones mod. Both games however, mainly focus on RPG so your main character's fighting prowess and conquest leads you to victory, (with a bit of dynasty/clan building in Bannerlord only). I did like Warband's ASoIaF's main questline wherein you help Varys and Dorne transport Daenerys/Young Griff as they plant themselves as a new faction in Griffin's Roost for the lulz (more enemies on the map means more denars). I am still learning on Bannerlord's new UI and the clan dynamics, so I can't say much on the game and mod at the moment. On other games, I have watched gameplays of Total War: Medieval and Attila GoT mods, but they only focus on siege warfare and big orchestrated battles you can strategize. And finally, the new DLC Roads to Power introduces the new mechanics you have mentioned earlier as playing as a landless lord/knight that acts as a mercenary leader in his "kingdom", so you can travel and go on tourneys with a bunch of people in your crew while being employed by another ruler that is participating in an ongoing war. The concept is very good since it can also apply in the GoT universe, that mod has since been updated and now includes a bunch of landless characters, like Ser Duncan the Tall so it is an interesting take on the mod. Personally, I have yet to purchase this DLC since it's expensive af and PDX would rather suck on its player-base's sore teats until it's bled dry than do a regular update. You know, like a normal developer.

[@Matatabi6]

It’s so weird to me that this series wasn’t popular before the show because everyone I knew was into it

[@Soul_Tomato]

It could perhaps be due to my age (early 30s) but I had never heard of it before the show. It was popular as a book of course but I didn’t read much when it came out - I am a much bigger reader since its release however.

[@jefferyhanderson7849]

I look forward to the decision of Andals reclaiming their homeland of Andalos and their Holy site of the Seven Hills. I think the Crusader Mechanics could be useful in this situation. The Iron Throne having the decision to launch a crusade if they have favorable opinion with the High Septon, etc.

[@budakbaongsiah]

you can do that on CK2, you can even claim a bloodline for that

[@whereuwannabe7796]

CK2 AGOT is fully done with all scenarios I still play it 4000 hours in and I've still never seen the same thing happen twice.

[@t.n.4779]

I'm so addicted to this mod it's insane especially after the landless ruler addition

[@jakobschoning7355]

Beesbury is a direkt vassal of the Iron throne in that setting because Lyman is the Master of Coin at the moment. Just like The Arbor for example in the Jaehaerys bookmark becauseRedywine is the master of Ships. Automatically reverts when you lose the appointment

[@guerreiroazul3230]

Agot is the GOAT

[@Soul_Tomato]

Can’t spell one without the other

[@rileydavidson207]

The elder kings mod for CK2 is amazing. Playing as the leaders of the elder scrolls nations/regions is awesome. The 2 best mods for crusader kings are the AGOT and Elder Kings mods

[@budakbaongsiah]

shame that there's no Oblivion Crisis timedate on that mod, would really love to fight Dagon's armies

[@jynx5909]

A World Of Ice And Fire, on Mount & Blade Warband is also a very good game of thrones styled game/mod

[@MangyB4033]

I was really into the GoT books. Even before the show it was one of my favorite series. That was so long ago, though, that I think it's a good idea to consider moving on from it. At least as far as the books being finished. I don't think Martin is going to finish them. I'm even hesitant to say it'd be a nice surprise because I don't see it happening ever. I'm a fan of GRRM more so than a GoT fan these days so I'm happy with whatever he puts out.

[@brendenwright7957]

I can see myself using the experiences in this game to inspire my Fanfiction writing...

[@kgptzac]

It really does feel weird that ASOIAF doesn't eye any AAA video games being such a hot franchise. I guess the best I can hope for is a spiritual successor to the Telltale game... made by Supermassive Games.

[@leonidas3357]

It really is a crime there haven’t been more game of thrones games. A GoT mmo or open world rpg would sell like hotcakes.

[@BlueSpiceSpace]

The ck2 and mount and blade ones are goated

[@joecoffee93]

Unrelated to the content of the video but the absolute SHOCK I felt when I heard Shana's Lullaby in the background on this, good lord that took me back awhile lmao

[@Wienpirat]

There is also a digital version of the AGoT Table Top Game on Steam. Which is an amazing game if you have enough friends and time.

[@Ben-zr4ho]

Theres also a Mount and Blade Bannerlord / GoT mod with dragons and everything. There is also a Bannerlord / Crusader Kings mod that combines the two games so you can actually fight your Crusader Kings battle. So these two mods obviously need to work together so we can get a Got / Bannerlord / Crusader Kings game.

[@Soul_Tomato]

Which interestingly there is a mod to have battles in Bannerlord while playing the strategy on ck3. There’s a total war one as well. Neither have been made to do that just yet tho.

[@robertstimmel1100]

I love strategy games, but have bounced off Crusader King's the few times I've tried to get into it. Maybe I just didn't give it enough time. This mod really makes me want to try again

[@neofromthewarnerbrothersic145]

I'm really tempted to try this... but I'm usually not big on grand strategy games. I don't hate them, sometimes I even love doing all of the management stuff. But I'm a basic bitch, I need some visually impressive battles like Total War to mix it up and keep my interest. But still, I am tempted. Maybe CK3/AGOT can be my grand strategy jam. The setting of Westeros might be all I need to get really hooked.

[@buffysummers7887]

as an addict of this game, I highly recommend it 😊

[@plasticfoodz6991]

Then you could try Mount & Blade's mods set in GoT's world. Warband has A Clash of Kings and A World of Ice and Fire, Bannerlord has A Realm of Thrones. Mount & Blade's gameplay lets you play as a character that commands and participates in big battles with troops in real time and you can swap into 3rd person or 1st person view.

[@MichaelTargaryen8809]

thank you for this in depth look at everything!

[@quakingphear]

Shoutout to the Skies of Arcadia soundtrack! Truly a man of culture!

[@Soul_Tomato]

I want a remaster of that game so bad

[@GustavoCardoso95]

This is literally the best game I own in my opinion. I have more than 500 hours just playing this mod, is absolutely amazing!

[@brettser88]

The Oblivion music got me

[@Hohenstein1871]

I love how Oblivion-Music just dropped into the video out of nowhere, lol

[@Soul_Tomato]

That’s how we do it

[@Hohenstein1871]

@@Soul_Tomato Good

[@trifonmihaylov6140]

love the AoM music in the background

[@Tiana_Tea_Leaves]

There's a new start year with the landless update for this mod and I did a double take on how much Walder Frey has been around for and just doesn't get involved in. Really developed a love/hate relationship with the character since playing because I kind of respect it. Still going to steal The Twins from him though 😂

[@stoney5137]

I remember hearing about those a while back and I bought CKII all hyped up to play this. Then the Last season of GOT was released, and it killed any motivation I had to set this up.

[@dzhokka]

i remember there was also a GoT mod for Mount&Blade:Warband and it was sooo cool back then

[@paddotk]

Realm of Thrones, a Mount & Blade Bannerlord mod, is also pretty neat.

[@mateuszmodzelewski1213]

You don't actually have to character swap to see diffrent rulers royal courts. You can just click on their inventory next to their portrait and in there is a button to enter the royal court.

[@Soul_Tomato]

True. But I am a stubborn tomato

[@maximusdecimusmeridious3784]

It’s annoying though with ck3 that once it updates you have to figure out what the previous version was so you could play Agot still Idk which version was the previous version before the Baiselus update

[@johnsmith361]

You don't need to guess the version, the mod itself will show you a little warning icon for which version it's compatible in your Paradox launcher playset.

[@QuinnMahone]

4:18 AOM music or am I tripping? Love that

[@CasparLapthorne]

Don't undersell the TellTale game. It's incredibly well done and does a great job expanding the scope of the show in a very faithful way. The character's and story are as well written as their book/show counterparts and it even features some of the show's main actors who do a fantastic job as VAs when they could have so easily have phoned in their performances. If you want to scratch that ASOIAF itch and don't want to rewatch or reread anything it is well worth a play.

[@joaodecarvalho7012]

Crusader Kings is perfect for Game of Thrones. It is a unique game.

[@Eyydrian]

I played CK3 AGOT even before I started playing vanilla. The one thing I don't really enjoy is that most tech trees are fully discovered for all "modern" cultures.
