The Dragon's Return - A House Targaryen AAR
Hello! I have an after-action report following Westeros after the Reconquest by King Aegon VI Targaryen. It would mean a lot to me if people would drop by and give it a read! I post 1-3 times/week on most weekends, and things are really going to start heating up in the next few chapters!
Fun things to look forward to: Dornish-looking Targaryens, Tully-looking Targaryens, crazy Targaryens, weird succession disputes that actually make sense, and your normal helping of dynastic drama!
Twin bugged
Hello,
I have a very annoying bug.
I have twin sons, one of whom has the genius trait and was born before his twin brother.
However, the game decided to switch them, and now the less talented twin is my heir.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

Maegor wasn't so infertile after all...
I started a campaign as Maegor. But to change the dynamic, I killed his first wife with a plot device and married him to a younger courtesan. I started killing all my wives when they turned 26 and remarried younger women... the result is that Maegor had more children than Aenys himself. Now I'm playing as Maegor's heir, whom I named Aerion. Curiously, he's also a britghflame here.
Bold Jon slays Daemon at Ormund's trial by combat
Help please! New player here. Aegon and sisters can't use dragons?
But for some reason, Aegon and his sisters can't use their dragons. They all have a trait that says they "cannot tame dragons".
I have no idea why this is happening. Please help me!
My son suddenly turned into a bear????
I've been playing this game for over 2 years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I started getting events about my son being hairy, his nose being small and how he doesn't talk much but I didn't think it would lead to THIS of all things. I'm so shocked I can't even continue.
The Kingsguard of King Steffarion I Targaryen, First of His Name
(Apologies for the blurry images)
(Some commands used in game for lore, but achieved in part by gameplay)
The Kingsguard of King Steffarion, First of His Name, King of The Andals, The Rhoynar, The First Men, The Stepstones, and the Summer Islanders, the elder son of Aegon the Conqueror, in the year 8043, 5 years after the death of his father, is recognized in history for it’s legendary status
Lord Commander Alyn “The Legendary” Cockshaw - One of the most skilled knights to ever live, Lord Commander Alyn Cockshaw is a masterful warrior, a legendary jouster, and even a poet and a scholar. He isn’t without controversy, however. His bisexuality is well known amongst the realm, and at one point, he was made a eunuch for his relationship with Oraney Cockshaw, a distant relative (who has stuck beside him even still). The reason neither Aegon nor Steffarion had him sent to the wall or executed for his consistent breaking of his vows is because of his prowess and status as a living folk hero.
John “The Greenhand” Gardener - A member of one of the great houses, the Lords of the Reach, John Gardener was a friend of Aegon’s, a man who had few friends, was a natural choice to be appointed to the Kingsguard. A strong, brave and diligent fighter, Greenhand is the same age as his Lord Commander, but is considered the frontrunner to become the fourth Lord Commander in history should Cockshaw die before him. Gardener is known for his scruffy beard and blunt personality, and despite being a friend of Aegon’s, some cannot stand his cynicism.
Jorah “Darkstar” Darklyn - The brother of the current Lord of the Riverlands & Trident, Jorah Darklyn’s potential was spotted from a young age, and he was very quickly appointed to the Kingsguard. He is seen as a top choice for Lord Commander down the line, despite King Steffarion and Darkstar’s brother Lord Paramount Othan’s hatred for each other.
Roland Grell - The only living member of the original seven, Ser Roland Grell is an average knight, still better than many of the realm, but his old age and general mediocrity compared to his white brothers leaves him relatively unknown compared to the others.
Damon Goodbrook - One of the newer appointments, Damon Goodbrook maintains popularity with both the court and the faith due to his outgoing personality, yet strict adherence to the laws of the Seven.
Humfrey “The White Owl” Mertyns - A knight with a life filled with loss, The White Owl did not expect to become a Kingsguard, and is one of the elder appointments to the White Cloak.
Othell Swyft - A cruel, easy to anger asshole with an arbitrary sense of justice, one has to question King Aegon’s decision making when he put Othell Swyft on the Kingsguard, though none can deny his status as one of the realm’s great knights (in merit if not personality)
What are your essential submods?
Hey everyone! it’s been a couple of years since I’ve really gotten into this mod. What‘s the big submods that people have these days? My current game has dragons peace and more bloodlines, but I feel that my games got stale after a while.
"New Valyria" Taking Land After Mega Wars
Using the most recent version of the mod with CK2 3.3.3. After Mega Wars, New Valyria randomly appears as the controller/liege of various pieces of the map. Is this a known bug with a solution? Am I using the wrong version of CK2 or of the mod?
I appointed Tywin to the Kingsguard but...
He always returns to his fathers court, even using the console to forcibly moves him doesn't work, the moment I unpause he is back in Casterly Rock
My fav character so far
Even managed to get a bloodline with him and a cool one at that
How to stop the game from crashing at certain dates?
I have edited the text file of the saved game to skip the date it crashes on. While it works for a bit, it crashes soon after.
Is there any other way to stop this? I use a Mac, which might explain the problem just a tad. But, would love if there were a solution I could opt for to ensure a seamless experience. Thank you.
Place-related nicknames
In a previous game, I saw one character get a nickname like "The Scourge of Willow Wood." I'm trying to figure out how to implement such a nickname, and I've gotten to where you see in the first image by going through the files but I'm still not quite getting it.
In the provinces folder, I've found provinces listed out in association with a number. So for example in image 2, you can see some of those, with Si Qo for example listed as #766.
So let's say I want a character to have the nickname "The Scourge of Si Qo."
What I've been trying would be to enter,
nickname_nick_of_the_scourge_of_766
But that clearly isn't right, because it's not working.
Any chance someone can explain this to me like I'm three years old, maybe just give me a clear sense of where I need to be finding the proper input to designate the location in nicknames like these, and perhaps give me an example of a properly written one?
Issue with AGOT Face Modification
Running AGOT and AGOT Face Modification. Does anyone know what causes this and how it can be fixed? I am not an amateur modder and am comfortable using GIMP and notepad++. I just need to know what the exact issue is so I can fix this. It seems that when AGOT Face Modification is building Dornish faces, the .dds files are all offset from the face.
The best History that ever happened to me:
I was playing as Maegor Targaryen and managed to hold onto the Iron Throne—and, more importantly, father legitimate children.
For good measure, I had killed several of Aenys's children. As for Jaehaerys, he was sent to the Night's Watch but kept Vermithor with him; he was even elected Lord Commander.
When Maegor died, his eldest son succeeded him and became the master of Balerion.
The younger brother was impulsive and made an initial attempt to claim the throne but was easily defeated. He was pardoned, and his brother even gifted him one of Balerion's eggs.
But the fool tried to claim the throne a second time; this time, even his older brother couldn't forgive him, so he sent him to the Night's Watch.
However, the fool deserted and conquered territory north of the Wall.
So, I decided to play as him. I hatched the egg, named the dragon Ailes-De-Givre, conquered the entire region north of the Wall, and proclaimed myself King-Beyond-the-Wall.
I launched a shipbuilding program and... set off to conquer King's Landing (the older brother had died, and his son—my character's nephew—had inherited the throne);
I won the war and became King.
I’ve never seen a kingdom so determined to hate me; literally everyone loathed me, and no one wanted to join my Kingsguard.
Eventually, my son inherited the crown (I’d had him with a Wildling woman) and he married his little sister, and he managed to restore the kingdom to a stable state.
PS: Before claiming the throne, I had launched a war to invade the Wall and killed Jaehaerys and Vermithor. So now, Westeros is truly unified.
How to add Valyrian female polyandry to my save file?
Hi, similar to male Valyrians, they are allowed to have 3 spouses. Is there any way to edit my current save file or add a mod that allows the same for my Valyrian female characters?
For context, I am currently playing as a High Valyrian Queen in Westeros who follows the Valyrian faith and I would like her to have more than one husband.
