I would if not for the constant Wildling uprisings. You would think they'd stop once you're able to raise an army of 5000 men, including 1000 from Castle Black.
Or if you achieve Medium Crown Authority. I guess what I'm getting at is if you're the King Beyond the Wall, son of the previous King Beyond the Wall, and it is extremely likely your son will be King Beyond the Wall, the Wildlings should get use to kneeling.
I also don't have enough ships to raid Essos meaningfully given the distance, and I'm paranoid that the Iron Throne/North will march up (since I've taken Brandon's Gift and New Gift).
However, the Invasion CB the Wildings have is extremely useful. If this was a different bookmark, I may already have marched southward, but Westeros is pretty solidly Targaryen.
For now.
It seems that the current queen is matrilineally married to some guy from Ghizcar. I'm not sure exactly, but the dynasty name certainly isn't Westerosi. As it stands, Westeros is divided because of the war against Lys. While there aren't any kingdoms against the Iron Throne, I think the North has decided to sit the war out.
The North (ruled by Jeyne Bolton no less) is at war with somebody in Essos as well. I'm going to wait and see the war score and dive in once I feel strong enough. I can raise a maximum of eight thousand soldiers, but when garrison sizes can easily be in the thousands as well, I don't want to get in a situation where I get into a battle and can no longer besiege anything.
