I've not got that far. I'm guessing if I had found a map that worked and started really getting into it I would have, and it would have crashed.
As a recent convert to the George R.R. Martin fanclub, and a long-time lover of the Civilization and Fall From Heaven series, this mod looks and sounds so incredibly enticing. I wish that I could play the finished product right now!
With the surge in the stories' popularity due to the HBO miniseries, and a good number of modders trickling back to Civ IV after Civ V's debut, if there was a time to get back on this project it would be now. What could interested people like me do to help this mod be finalized? I ask because, at this moment, there are few things I would like more than to be able to play it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Through what personal connections I have, I could conceivably hook you up with at least 1 artist, an English-to-German translator, and at least 2 bibliophiles who could dig up obscure bits of Song of Ice and Fire lore. I could see what other strings I can pull as well, and am myself pretty good at game mechanic balancing, and scrounging up Creative Commons art and sound resources.
Please don't let this die. The potential is too dang awesome.
(P.S. Yes, though I've lurked here for some time, seeing this was enough to get me to register. Take that as you will.

Agreed, and you'll definitely have a market for it given the success of the HBO series along with the failure of CiV modability.

I'd just like to point out that for most things, it is far simpler to mod Civ5 than Civ4. New mechanics, for instance, are amazingly simple to add.... so long as you have at least a minimal idea of what you are doing. Civ5 is less beginner-friendly than is Civ4, but as a result is more capable.
It's major flaw lies in the realm of total conversions, and there should be work to remedy this sometime in the future.

Any news about this? We all hope civ v messy world will bring you back to this dewell.
And you too, Valk.
And you too, Valk.
well, until Civ V releases the SDK DLL, there is no real way to know the modability of Civ V short of arrogance.
I would hope Civ V is more mod-able than Civ IV ... as it would need to become a different game to be playable.

...What? Try modding it. The SDK has been released, since the game came out; that's not the DLL.
In any case, you can add entirely new mechanics to the game without DLL work, due to the database implementation of the tags. Sure, not everything is possible.... But many of the popular civ4 modcomps could be ported over in their functionality.
So no, its not arrogance. It is fact that it is far more flexible for modders than is Civ4. The learning curves are simply steeper.

I hope this is going along. It's brilliant so far.
I just wanted to add another voice expressing interest for a playable version of this mod. The elements that are already in place are great on their own -- I'd be really happy just to be able to play it as-is without having to deal with frequent crashes. All of the bells and whistles that dewell has mentioned in earlier posts are even more exciting, but if there's just enough time to make the Alpha version not crash, that would still be fantastic.
That said, there is one element from Book 5 that could affect any future developments of the magic system:

downloaded all parts from same source (first link) and extracted to one folder, then when i go to load i get this error.
GFC Error: Failed to initialize the primary control theme.
then it crashes to my desktop.
note, when i right click my taskbar, it refrences my realism invictus installer, i wonder if there is an issue of some kind?

Hi all!
I've played Civ4 for long time, then the fifth but I was so disappointed for it that I haven't played yet for about one year.
Now I would like to play this mod, but I have some questions:
- it's a BTS mod?
- you have to download FfH too, to play this mod?
- it's compatible with BUG mod and Blue marble?
- it's possibile to see some SS of the map?
Thank you!

it's an error in theme config file - it is set to look for theme images somewhere, but when you change the folder name, if breaks ...
check the "/Mods/<mod folder>/Resource/Civ4.thm" file and change it accordingly
i believe it's BtS mod and it doesn't require FfH installed to be played; as for the BUG and blue marble - i seriously doubt it would be bug compatible and slightly doubt that it would be blue-marble compatible

Is there any news on this mod, or a link to the mod?
Since people here are presumably interested, is there a functioning Civ V mode for Ice and Fire?
