I thought it was still an alpha version of the mod?

kinda yeah, it seems it has a lot of work to do. I'm not sure if unrest from conquest is even implemented in that, or religious differences. It's pretty much something of a sandbox.
But.
Killing Gregor is still cool. And Mace Tyrell.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Oh - about Westeros: Total War... played a campaign as the Krakens... was pretty awesome. The breaking point was sacking Lannisport. At the start you have sea superiority, unquestioned, but your provinces are very, very poor. After the initial taking of The Crag and Banefort, I had trouble raising more troops whatsoever... then I saw that Lannisters are getting pushed by the Roses, so I decided to chime in and raided Lannisport- 33k, that's THIRTY THREE THOUSAND DRAKES, from the sacking. I just abandoned it afterwards, but they didn't seem to want to take it back. With the cash I got from the sacking I raised like two full stacks of Ironman Warriors and Raiders and took Casterly Rock (it has insane income, btw, easily more than all my initial islands combined), making short work of the one stack army stationed there. From then on I just kept raping the shores, Crakehall, Oldtown, Arbor, they all fell to sea raids. Tyrells are really fucked if Greyjoys get a major army going due to the mobility of the fleets. I could easily pick my fights. After taking these shores I just went in and systematically conquered the remainder of the Reach and then pushed for the Westerlands while keeping the Arryns near Seagard, Fairmarket and the Twins at bay (they really rocked up there... Tullys always seem to get raped in every game)
It's one of the way of playing this mod - just keep on going and sacking cities to support your army. Ironmen troops just own mainland knights.
A few woes: Victarion is a totally overpowered general, he starts with almost every stat at maximum. OTOH, Euron is a fucking weakling, so is Theon (well, ok, Theon deserves it). Dagmer is pretty good too.
Anyway, this made me think about ADOD... what will Petyr do with the Vale of Arryn once Dany comes back? Oppose, or support? That's one faction that was just about not touched by the War of the Five Kings so far, even more so than Dorne.

what is this westeros? A mod? Sounds awesome. I quit all game playing about two years ago when my daughter was born, but prior to that I freaking loved the total war series. Rome:Total War was so cool I almost lost my job because of it.
I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter at the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...."

Yeah it's a mod for MTW2: Kingdoms. Pretty neat, though it's unfinishedness can be strongly felt.
Still, fun to fight as Victarion, Gregor or Roose.

wasn't there a thread before where someone was basically blogging their attempt at playing the westeros mod?
May have been in the old forum, but i'm sure there was something. He was playing as the Starks, and Bolton rebelled against him.

Greece.
If only to scream at the screen:
"THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
that or China, the romance of the three kingdoms.
Add on would obviously involve The great Khan

Out of curiousity has anyone actually played the maps made for the Darth Mod for Rome Total war?
If not I recommend it, as the Romans I have only got under my control Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, Greece and the balkansand a tiny bit of sicily. I've the most town and cities but in this game the Carthaginians and Egyptians are powers in their own right, I have forced back the Gauls and are comfortably holding them, my past ally of Dacia is now a enemy I'm currently fightig them with two legions acrosss a entire front of thousand miles. I'm at war with Carthage. Actually I'm fighting across my entire borders. I have five legions holding off 2 nations while my remaining 3 at the moment are attacking Carthage in Sicily.
Some of you may be wondering how far into the game I am. Let's just say it around 80BC.
Until this game ends I have to find a way of defeating Carthage that has ten armies in spain alone ( courtesy of toggling fow off).
This has turned out to be one of my more rewarding games, Expansion has to be carefully planned or you risk defeat in this game.
And what is the AI set to you may ask? It was set to normal but with the Darth Mod and the maps made for it, it more like playing on a hard difficulty setting for the vanilla game.
