I realize this isn't about ffh but i figure this was the right group to bring this up. I just recently reread the four books of this amazing series and I had a thought. What would it take to make a mod of civ based on the books. You could use the houses for civs and i think you could do something cool with the wall. Dont really know i was just wondering and i thought i would see what you guys thought.

On the books :
Personally, I prefer Wheel of Time more. I like Martin's style but he kills characters too easily, IMHO. I don't know which one(s) is(are) the main character(s) anymore... While this contributes to realism, but I found it is very hard to symphatize with one character, and watch him get killed, symphatize with another, and watch him also get killed. It's just too dark for me.
At least in FfH I found hope in Sirona and Lugus
On modding FfH based on these books :
I think ASIF is way too un-magical compared to FfH. It might be more appropriate if the mod is based on vanilla Civ, or any other "real-world" mods. You can always borrow FfH schema etc, though

Yeah, and I would love to play "low-magic" setting. You could also look at official mod "Gods of old" as an example of a very low magic setting

"I just recently reread the four books of this amazing series...."
Or as I would put it, the three amazing books of this series and then the one that made never want to read anything by GRRM ever again.

Hi,
it's a funny coincident but a few days before this thread has been posted I started my Song of Ice and Fire Mod
Check out this board for a thread where I introduce my mod
P.S.: in my humble opinion is Wheel of Time to A Song of Ice and Fire as The Three Investigators to Stephen King's Dark Tower ... Wheel of Time is not bad, but it's not nearly as intense and ingenious as the Martin's Song I like the fourth ... guess the problem of the book is that three of the most interesting and popular characters are missing because their stories are told in the next book "A Dance With Dragons"
