A Game of Thrones Mod

[sudduth28]

Greetings all....this will be my first post ever (*applause* ), and I'm excited to be joining in with all the modding.

First off, I have started the process of creating a huge huge map mod for George R.R. Martin's Game Of Thrones series (soon to have a fourth book). Anyone interested in joining me, please do get in touch. I know I'd you!

Don't think I've ever read his books... What are they like?

How can I best sum up the series: a great deal of political intrigue and some of the most finely detailed battle sequences I've read. Oh, and some dragons. Bascially, it's just good, hard, blood and iron fantasy with no namby-pamby magic ;-)

I'll have to look into them, just how old is the series? And what kind of help are you looking for? I haven't been able to really make any Human models but I'm still trying, and I'd love to be able to make Fantasy units.

The first book in the series, _A Game of Thrones_ came out in 1996. _A Clash of Kings_ came out in 1998 I think and the paperback version of _A Storm of Swords_ just this year. It's not High Fantasy, with Elves and Orcs and whatnot, but more medieval lais (or lay) type fantasy: political intrigue, lots of battlecraft, and then he does have a dragon or two (but I'm not sure how they fit in completely since the plotline isnt developed yet). I would foresee the mod focusing alot on shifting tech progression and units, as well as coming up with more creative forms of government. If I had my way it would be a whole different game, with alot more statecraft involved, and that would involve reworking some of the diplomacy AI strings. Possible, but alot of typing.
