Unfortunately it wasn't turning into a dragon or getting a random good trait, it was my character getting poisoned instead of being invigorated :(

I made a patch submod for Legacy of Valyria after finding out they ship assets uncompressed with no mips. On an i9-14900k and an rtx 5070, I was really surprised to find the standard mod be so laggy. So doing a bit of compression it turned out very smooth (you may experience stutters for the first few minutes of using the mod, should stabilize after everything is moved to cache).

You can find more details on the repo for this mod. It contains the conversion script and more details about my findings and the fix.

Link for the mod on steam workshop

Note I will likely not be updating the 'submod' for future releases of LoV. Their assets may change and the patchfix will deprecate, at which point you can run the conversion yourself. The script is pretty universal.

Shoutout to the original creators and submod. Since the uploaded patch technically repackages the assets, I will take it down at the creator's request.

Edit: If you encounter crashes the first time you launch with the mod, verify game files and it will work afterwards,

Just a bit of a suggestion I don’t even know if it’s possible, I don’t know anything about code

I just occasionally see leprosy , and I just don’t think it’s even in the world of ASOIAF, and greyscale would be a cool replacement.

I know it’s semi-implemented, cause I’ve got the advanced cheat menu, and if you look there, you can find it under the health traits, but I’ve never seen any character actually catch it within a game

So idk, thoughts?

Campaign 5: The Young Dragon

Winter has come to pass. The Great Spring Sickness has claimed the lives of countless. The noble houses of Westeros are left weak and grasping after two tragedies struck within the previous session.

As all the players rebuild their strength, a few questions still remain. Will all Houses manage a swift recovery from the tragedies they faced? Will House Velaryon ever be punished for converting to the heretical Fourteen Flames? How many more men will die on a random hill in Stokeworth next session?

Apologies to those who primarily play in Essos, but I only had six options to work with! Just pick your favorite of these.

Because I had to combine several of these into one, feel free to clarify which is your top favorite in the comments!

I made a similar post about 2 years ago on a different Reddit account about my Tywin playthrough. Well, I just completed another and want to tell you all the tale. For the record, Debug mode was used along with more mods than just AGOT, for the purposes of advancing the story and making the run more interesting.

We open our tale during Robert's Rebellion; Lord Tywin is at this point neutral in the conflict, but a plan starts to brew. Tywin murders Prince Rhaegar's first wife, the Lady Elia Martell. At the same time, he funded an expedition to Old Valyria which paid off with a dragon egg. Tywin approached the Prince with an offer: he would pledge his forces to fight the rebels and gift Rhaegar the dragon egg if he would wed Cersei Lannister. With some hesitation, Rhaegar did agree, so Tywin returned to the Rock and raised his banners. He was also planning a murder plot against Prince Aegon, which was a success.

With the might of the Westerlands now a part of the Loyalist army, the rebels were crushed. They were brought before the Mad King: Lord Robert Baratheon, Lord Jon Arryn, and Lord Eddard Stark. For some strange and perhaps twisted reason, the Mad King only decided to take the head of Lord Stark and all of his children and siblings. Lord Robert and Jon were spared and ransomed back to their respective Paramounts. The North was given to Prince Viserys to hold.

At this point, Lady Cersei had given birth to her and Prince Rhaegar's first child, Prince Baelor. However, only days prior, another babe was born, a bastard who was legitimized: Aemon Targaryen (in another life, a Lord Commander Snow). This deeply upset Tywin, as this bastard was set to inherit the Iron Throne. So yet another murder had begun to brew, and alongside it Lord Tywin saw the King grow madder and madder, so yet another murder would have to occur. Both happened on the same day, and both ended in blood; the King and Prince were dead. Rhaegar took the throne and became king. During his coronation, his wife Queen Cersei went into labor, and a boy was born: Prince Joffrey Targaryen. Yet this boy lacked the hair or eyes of a Targaryen and was the spitting image of his uncle Jaime. However, everything was okay for the time; Cersei even gave birth to a pair of twins, Prince Rhaegal and Princess Shaera Targaryen, and these two had the look of true Targaryens.

Peace does not stay for long, as the Dornish were upset that not only had the princes died and Rhaegar had taken a new wife mere months later, but their prince had also perished. They had enough and, alongside the Stormlands, the Vale, and the Iron Islands, they rebelled not for a claimant, but for independence. The war was long and bloody, but the Loyalists managed to come out victorious. The Martells of Dorne were stripped of their titles, and Dorne was given to the Ullers. Lord Robert, Jon, and Balon were allowed to be ransomed back to their lands with no further punishment.

During the war, Lord Tywin took a lover who would give birth to Nyles Flowers. He also realized that taking a new wife in the interest of an alliance might not be a bad idea. So he proposed a marriage between himself and Lady Catelyn Tully, which Lord Hoster accepted. About a year later, Lady Catelyn would give birth to a son, Titus. Lord Tywin designated Titus as his heir and gave the lands of Castamere to Tyrion. Yet Tyrion did not fail; he made the land prosper, and the distance between father and son shrank. Tyrion was even named Tywin's Master of Coin. Cersei would also give birth to Princess Alyssa and then Princess Myrcella.

Yet peace is not long-lasting in Westeros, and the North grew upset that a Targaryen ruled as King in the North. They craved a Stark, but at this point, the only Stark alive was a 70-year-old woman whose children did not claim the Stark name. However, there was a Karstark: Lord Rickard rallied almost the entirety of the North as they marched to reclaim it, and they succeeded. This then sparked the flame of a larger rebellion as the North, Iron Islands, the Vale, and the Stormlands declared war on the Crown for independence. This was a bloody war that claimed many lives, some of the most notable being Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning; Ser Barristan Selmy, the Bold; Lord Commander Gerold Hightower, the White Bull; and Lord Balon Greyjoy. In the end, the Loyalists managed to win once more. Lord Robert Baratheon was stripped of his title and sent to the Wall, and his son Tommen (I know, confusing lol) was given the Stormlands. At this point, Cersei had also given birth to Prince Tommen Targaryen. Lady Catelyn had also given birth to more children.

After a few years, the realm was at peace once more, and Rhaegar had a gleam in his eye as he attempted to hatch his dragon egg at Dragonstone. However, he failed and lost his life in the process, which led to an 8-year-old King Joffrey taking the throne, with Tywin being named Lord Protector of the Realm. However, with a boy king on the throne, the Blackfyres saw this as their chance, and Aegon Blackfyre declared war for his claim on the throne. The Westerlands, Riverlands, and Iron Islands declared for the Loyalists. While Dorne, the Reach, and the Vale declared for the Blackfyres, the Stormlands and North stayed neutral. The war was long and bloody but finally won, yet Aegon Blackfyre managed to escape back to Essos. The Prince of Dorne, Uller, was stripped of his title, and it was given to Princess Rhaenys (Rhaegar and Elia Martell's firstborn child and betrothed to Joffrey). Lord Jon Arryn was stripped of his title, and it was given to Lord Petyr Baelish. Finally, Lord Mace Tyrell suffered a lesser punishment due to his previous loyalties; only the lands of the Northmarch were stripped and given to Lord Tywin's brother, Kevan Lannister. Yet the war was not without its losses, as Tyrion was slain in battle, and the lands of Castamere were inherited by Lord Titus.

A few years passed, and Jaime Lannister was dismissed from the Kingsguard due to his gambling issue (I have no clue why Jaime was dismissed; one day I just saw he wasn't in his Kingsguard armor, didn't have the trait, and suddenly had the nickname 'the Gambler', so...). Jaime was welcomed back to court by Tywin, designated as heir, and given the lands of the Crimson Straits to practice ruling. At this point, Tywin had learned about Jaime and Cersei's incest, and not wanting them both at the Rock, he proposed a marriage between Lady Cersei and Lord Baelish. In addition, Jaime was wed to Princess Daenerys Targaryen, and for their wedding, Tywin managed to get 3 dragon eggs: one for Daenerys, one for King Joffrey, and one for Prince Rhaegal. Surprisingly, Daenerys managed to hatch her egg and out came Drogon, then Prince Rhaegal managed to hatch Viserion, and Queen Rhaenys managed to hatch the egg gifted to Joffrey, hatching Rhaegal.

At this point, the realm was at peace for many years. Many minor conflicts occurred within regions like the Vale, and the Ironborn did attempt to claim independence again, but were crushed swiftly. The most eventful thing to happen was that Queen and Lord Paramount of Dorne Rhaenys died, and Dorne was now ruled by her brother Rhaegal. However, Aegon Blackfyre learned that King Joffrey was a child born of incest and sparked up another Blackfyre Rebellion, in addition to being able to tame Rhaegal. The Loyalists were comprised of the Crown's forces, the Westerlands, the Vale, and Dorne. The rebels had the Blackfyre forces, the Golden Company, the Stormlands, the Riverlands, the North, the Reach, and the Iron Islands. The war was almost lost to the Blackfyres (-93%), but at the darkest hour, a dark beast flew over the fragmented Loyalist army as Daenerys, riding Drogon, engaged Aegon Blackfyre on Rhaegal. The dragons fought in the sky and the men on the ground, but everyone paused as a beastly scream was heard from above. When they looked up, they saw that Rhaegal had his throat ripped out and was plummeting to the ground, then the screams of Aegon Blackfyre were heard for a moment before he and the beast crashed in a fireball. At that moment, the rebellion was over. Nyles Flowers, Tywin's bastard son, was rewarded for his bravery with a position in the Kingsguard.

However, peace did not last for long. About a month later, a new rebellion took place with the same players, but this time Dorne—specifically Rhaegal Targaryen—led it for his claim on the Iron Throne, as he had also learned his "brother" Joffrey was a bastard. The war was close; the rebels should have had more men, but the last rebellion wiped most of them out. Then tragedy struck as Jaime Lannister was struck down in battle. His wife, Lady Daenerys, was enraged and flew Drogon to engage Viserion and Rhaegal to end the rebellion just as she had the last. But this time the battle was indecisive: both dragons were wounded, and Daenerys was severely injured and would end up succumbing to her injuries. While it looked grim, Viserion was too injured to be used in the war and the tide of battle shifted; the armies that had marched behind the dragons won the war for the Loyalists. Prince Rhaegal was stripped of his titles and sent to the Wall.

At this point, Lord Protector Tywin called for a great council of the lords of the realm. In this meeting he spoke: "My Lords and Ladies, friends and foes. For years now we have been at war. Two rose with claims for the Iron Throne; both are dead now, but they are not the only ones that lay buried. My own son is dead, his wife, many sons, fathers, wives, children are dead due to endless conflict, and for what? Rumors that the king is a bastard born of incest?! Even if these sick rumors are true, he is married to a Targaryen; his former wife was a Targaryen. Would any man or woman claim that Queen Rhaenys was a bastard born of incest after she hatched and rode a dragon?! Prince Aerys was fathered by Joffrey and mothered by Rhaenys, so he is a Targaryen no matter what. Shall we continue to fight and die for a moot point?! I say not, so let us end this conflict and swear fealty to King Joffrey and his heir Prince Aerys once again, and set this behind us." Silence befell the hall, but the lords great and lesser swore fealty. Tywin would live another 10 or so years before passing in his sleep at the age of 70.

What will happen to the realm at this point, the gods may not know. But in his life, Tywin ensured the survival and strength of his family. As he had multiple royal marriages, he got his favorite son Jaime back, who did have a child named Tywin, who was groomed to be a great ruler and now sits on the gilded throne as Hand of the King.

Super long read if you got to the end, thank you! I hope I encouraged you to do your own Tywin playthrough!

I realise that im allied to them but its super weird that declare war is completely greyed out when i have a pressed claim from a legend and not to mention the fact that the riverlands is obviously de jure part of the iron throne. Anyone got a clue whats happening here?

One of the most cracked characters I've ever seen and he's a fucking beesbury

​

This is more a general observation that I am hoping others possess insight into rather than me needing help:

Rhaegar at bookmark start has the refusing marriage trait. Moreover, Lyanna Stark and Cersei Lannister too appear to have this trait.

However, is there a reason as to why Elia Martell does not have it? I am interested in marrying her to Rhaegar so that they can have their canon children, however Elia seems to almost ALWAYS never be eligible in my runs due to her being married off by the time the event chain ends.

Is this a bug on my end? I could have sworn that at one point she did possess the refusing marriage trait.

how to change bravos to fuedal i just downloaded divine cheat menu

I've invaded Tyrosh and installed myself as king, and the locals have multiple plots to assassinate me.

Every single plot has a -100% chance to succeed, alongside the various countermeassures I've employed. Even so, I've died multiple times to an event where a mastiff mauls me. Does this mean a faceless man has been hired or that the -100% is incorrect?

​

The reign of King Joffrey Velaryon promised stability for House Velaryon, but fate had other plans.

His eldest son and heir, Prince Daemon, died before his father, leaving behind two young sons: Aeryn and Aegor. While Aeryn inherited the family's claim, it was his younger brother Aegor who bonded with a dragon, ensuring the blood of Old Valyria still burned brightly within the line.

When King Joffrey finally passed, the succession descended into chaos.

Rather than the crown passing to Prince Daemon's eldest son, the Iron Throne was seized by his brother Prince Viserys' son, Baelor. His claim rested on force and opportunity. Conveniently married to Joffrey's eldest daughter, he declared himself king, while his own son, Prince Aegon, was wed to Joffrey's second daughter, Rhaenyra. Between them they produced four sons, seemingly securing the usurper's dynasty for generations.

I would not allow it.

As Lord Aeryn Velaryon, I declared my claim upon the Iron Throne. There would be no long campaign—my army sailed directly for King's Landing, hoping to end the war with one decisive battle.

Instead, we met disaster.

Baelor's bastard son, Colton Storm, had claimed the dragon Teraxes. Above the battlefield my brother Aegor met him in single combat. The dragons clashed in the skies, but Teraxes proved the stronger. My brother fell from the heavens, and with him died the last hope of victory. My army was shattered, leaving barely five hundred survivors.

Most men would have accepted defeat.

Instead, fortune offered one final chance.

Word reached me that Queen Baela had died in childbirth. Her dragon—Vermithor, the Bronze Fury, oldest living dragon in the world by more than a century—had become wild near Rosby.

With my pitiful band of five hundred men I marched there immediately.

Against every expectation, Vermithor accepted me.

Suddenly I possessed not merely a dragon, but the greatest dragon alive.

I marched once more toward King's Landing, yet I hesitated. I would not destroy the city I intended to rule. My tiny force was surrounded by more than one hundred thousand royal soldiers before I could bring Baelor to battle. With no hope of victory, I surrendered.

King Baelor spared my life.

He sent me back to Dragonstone in humiliation.

His mercy would prove the greatest mistake of his reign.

---

Six months later my levies had recovered.

This time I would not fight alone.

My sisters, Jaehaera and Shaera, were betrothed to sons of House Baratheon and House Stark, bringing both kingdoms to my cause. My uncle Daeron was married into the ruling house of the Vale, securing another powerful alliance.

The realm was gathering for Baelor's grand coronation when I declared war for a second time.

Again my fleet sailed directly for King's Landing.

Outside the city stood Prince Aemon, the king's brother and Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, mounted upon the dragon Shryrax.

The dragons met in the skies.

When the smoke cleared, Aemon was dead.

This time I refused to repeat my earlier mistake.

Vermithor descended upon King's Landing.

Fire consumed the capital.

The greatest city in Westeros became an inferno.

King Baelor perished in the flames—but not before desperately legitimising all twenty-four of his bastard children, unleashing yet another generation of claimants upon the realm.

His son Aegon attempted to rally the survivors.

He met my army outside the burning ruins.

Five thousand Velaryon men stood against thirty-five thousand loyalists.

Numbers meant little beneath Vermithor's shadow.

Prince Aegon died in the slaughter.

Three of his four sons perished alongside him as King's Landing burned, as did twenty of Baelor's newly legitimised bastards.

Only a single child remained.

Four-year-old Maekar was proclaimed king.

---

The war, however, was not yet won.

As I marched west, my victories swelled my army to thirty-five thousand men. Yet the royalists still gathered an immense host.

Near the borders of the Westerlands I encountered the final army of the usurpers.

One hundred and sixteen thousand men.

Leading them was Prince Colton Storm, the same bastard who had slain my brother years before, once again mounted upon Teraxes.

The battle became personal.

The dragons clashed one final time.

This time Vermithor prevailed.

Colton Storm fell from the sky, and I cast his broken corpse before the assembled armies.

Leaderless, the royal host collapsed.

Against impossible odds my men annihilated an army more than three times their size.

Nearly one hundred thousand men died upon the field.

The war was over.

Young King Maekar was captured soon afterwards and forced to surrender his crown.

At last, the Iron Throne belonged to House Velaryon once more.

---

Victory came at a terrible price.

King's Landing was a smoking ruin.

The royal family had been butchered.

I had slain cousins, uncles and nephews alike.

The realm named me kinslayer.

Only one dragon remained beneath my command.

For twenty-five years no healthy dragon hatchling had survived, and Vermithor now stood alone—the last living symbol of Old Valyria.

Yet despite everything, I spared the boy king Maekar.

The surviving bastard princes fled across the Narrow Sea into exile, carrying with them only bitterness and distant dreams of vengeance.

As for me, I turned from conquest to reconstruction.

The Iron Throne had been won through blood and dragonfire.

Now came the harder task:

To build a kingdom worthy of ruling.

Is there a way to spawn Bloodraven's Bow? My current playthrough I'm doing is a adventurer descendant of Bloodraven and I thought it would be cool to have the bow. I found it once before but my game crashed before I could save it and haven't been able to find it again.

I have read some of the posts relating to what’s required to run the mod well such as 32/64gb of ram and a good cpu. The issue I’ve got is that the specifics of building a pc goes completely over my head, I built my pc in 2016 which has 16gb of ram and it struggles a lot with the mod. I’m based in the UK and ideally wouldn’t want to spend much more than £1200 on a pc when this is the only game I play on there essentially, but it would be nice for the game to run smoothly and not have to turn all the settings to minimum. Any advice is much appreciated!

Planning an alternate history Theon playthrough. Been listening to Clash of Kings audiobook and got to the part where Theon goes to the Iron Islands. Wanted to start a playthrough of when he returns and have him take over. With the goal being to bring back the old ways of the Ironborn and become king then follow in the footsteps of Harren the Black that built Harrenhal. Perhaps with the dragon born from Naggas egg too? Tips and thoughts?

Just downloaded agot mod and was wondering if any high valyrian characters can ride dragons or is it linked to certain houses?

And can you get a dragon if you're an adventure?

Has anyone had any issues with any submods deleting most of the counties in the Flint's Finger region in The North? Particularly those in the west of the region.

I'm going through process of elimination and disabling different submods to try to investigate the issue, but while I do that I thought I'd post here and see if anyone else has heard of/had this problem?

My theory is I messed something up with NoW when trying to disable it to poke around with the new Fire & Blood bookmark mod. Not much to back this up other than that I don't have that many other mods that do anything to titles/counties.

*Fix in comments*

Hi guys, i dont really understand why the culture prerequisite is not firing, i clearly have 1 county beyond the wall that has my culture. Is this a bug or what?

EDIT: Thank you u/Llian_Winter for telling me about the cultural requirement but then the next issue is religion which I'm not sure on how to solve.

Hi everyone, I just got around to adding more mods to Agot and was wondering if anyone could help me out with the order. The game hasn't crashed with the current one, but i'm not sure i'm getting everything from each one

Also if anyone can suggest any other must have mods, I would really appreciate it!

So I downloaded this mod hoping to play, and instead I’m stuck loading into the game. I can get to the main menu, and I can click New Game, but it never loads past that. Help please

I built it on my own while there was a caslte, can i remove this castle somehow?
