Political Westeros

I finally got the inspiration do make a new Westeros map.

I've played a lot of Westeros/GoT maps and none of them sounds good enough, because of one reason: they are pretty much the same. The "Alvius GoT AFFC", "Game of Thrones-Perfected" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" have a ton of scenarios with balance problems, massive stacks that creates clusterfucks around the map, excessive amount of cities, historical inaccuracies, etc. I didn't felt attracted to it, so that's when I decided to make my own political Westeros scenario.

Inspired by the maps made by Aetius, I'm announcing the upcoming series of scenarios based on the recent history of Westeros, where players will be able to take the roles of major and minor houses. The intention is to make the games more political by creating a setting of rules of diplomacy that must be followed, so lesser lords with less resources can make their way to victory supporting the right overlord.

I have already made some small "test scenarios" (Dorne: Nymeria's War, Brazilian Civil War of 1932, Campaign in Slaver's Bay, Star Wars: Battle of Hoth...) that worked pretty well and I'm confident enough to use that political mechanic in a huge set.

All country borders are finished so as the income of each city, the only thing that isn't done yet is the reinforcements, so the map is like 95% complete. I'll give you guys a sneak peak.

So far I have the idea to explore the War of the Usurper, War of the Five Kings, War in the Riverlands, and the Daenerys Targaryen's war of Westeros.

Valar morghulis.

Can we get a screen shot of all of westeros?
Also borders look a bit to sloppy for my tastes.

The biggest problem i have with GoT is troops. Most of GoT scenarios have awful units, ridiculous stats. Don't copy these units, be original.

I will fix that, but in almost all the map I tried to follow natural borders, such as mountains and rivers.

I always like to keep the standard stats given by the editor (main atk/def, sec. atk/def.), it's the best way to keep it balanced. But I'm looking forward to do an unique special unit for each of the 16 factions.

Your map looks great. also good idea for special troops, knights of the vale comes to mind, golden company mercenaries for crownland maybe, iron fleet or guerella greyjoy units
mail me if you need help with special unit stats.
