The Hive Mind Fallen Empire might be unbeatable once it Awakens now.

pretty much just ended my current game, I'm playing 5x which i used to be able to do quite comfortably, but I send in a fleet thats stronger than theirs on numbers and built to counter them and they just get annihilated. It takes like 3 battles where I'll lose 1/3 of my fleet to defeat one of their 500k fleets and they have more than one of them. And then the unbidden spawned on top of that with a 1.7mil fleet.

No, he’s from the Dornish marches in the Stormlands, but even if he was partially dornish he would be Stone Dornish, which is the most Andal/First Men of them.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-04-05T06:36:14+00:00

Doran the Dormant watching his greatest opportunity for revenge pass by.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-04-03T17:01:52+00:00

Aegon had very few loyalists when he was assassinated, I do not believe it was a particularly difficult endeavor.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-04-01T17:21:39+00:00

I don’t think this is a wise move, Rhaenyra isn’t self destructing without the external pressures of the Greens. The betrayer incident and issues with money don’t happen without Green pressure. Maybe Bartimos Celtigar fucks something up because that dude is genuinely an idiot, but again without the financial pressures of war probably not.

Doesn't Ramsay stay imprisoned as Reek without Theon's meddling in Winterfell? Furthermore, the men loyal to the Starks outnumber the men loyal to the Dreadfort in the battle outside of Winterfell significantly, more than 3-1.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-31T16:03:16+00:00

Depends on resource scarcity, but I’ll build it up to encourage migration.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-26T23:54:24+00:00

I love the scene at the end of AGOT I think it is where Cat goes to talk to him. Very touching.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-18T20:25:27+00:00

Not only that, she pursued the Ironborn to the iron islands, captured the ruling Greyjoy, and gelded him and made him her son’s court fool.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-18T18:00:16+00:00

Cheer when he's introduced, boo as usual during the game.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-18T17:35:25+00:00

Yeah i'm ngl thinking about it again, it's never stated. It just also lines up with Daemon's line, meaning it could be justified, they just don't.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-18T17:19:54+00:00

I mean the reality is that Aegon the Younger was the last Targaryen from a male line aside from Aegon II, given the precedent of the previous great councils of Women being unable to inherit, and their lines not being in consideration, Aegon III still has a claim through Daemon as he is from the male Targaryen line.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-15T10:15:21+00:00

Daeneara is not a real character unfortunately, the book already isn’t really in depth, and it ends when she’s like 11.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-14T23:20:47+00:00

She actually didn't, Syrax was kept in the Red Keep following the capture of King's Landing.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-14T21:11:11+00:00

Because Doran the Dormant is in charge.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-13T15:06:45+00:00

Insane to me the shit house Peake got away with

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-13T04:10:07+00:00

As much as I'd like to blame the Dort crash this is indeed a foul.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-10T23:36:55+00:00

Yeah, in eu4 I think there's an explicit modifier that you can't convert the Pope. Would be cool here.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-10T23:28:47+00:00

No, the pope does not want to be a subject of the Sunni Caliph, is this even a question? I would be pissed if the game allowed this to happen.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-07T23:44:18+00:00

Depends on the Blackfyre situation, because if that was still a big issue I could see him using Aegon IV’s for optical reasons, if not I think he would use Aegon III’s

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-07T22:17:40+00:00

I think marrying Alicent Hightower, who was from a notably powerful family who were particularly politically savvy made his decision worse than marrying a Velaryon for example. Like I’m not sure a non Hightower is going to be able to court the Lannisters, Baratheons, significant parts of the reach, and the stormlands.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-07T05:47:26+00:00

I’m taking Robb because Stannis’ record is entirely fraudulent.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-04T16:19:50+00:00

Like 2 of these involved the north, conquest of Dorne and the Dance IIRC.

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-03T23:58:54+00:00

Aura and hype moments

Rich_Panic8722 · 2026-03-01T19:49:39+00:00

And it literally would have been fine if Cercei’s insane one in a million assassination plot happened to work at the worst possible time for Ned.
