It is made by the Australians who made Age of Darkness: Final Stand
Kinda strange to release an RTS game based on HBO GoT 6 years after the show ended and after the later seasons ruined any cultural significance the show had.

I hope it's very similar to BFME (2). I just hope it fills the void of not ever getting a BFME 3.

I mean yeah, but it's already divided into factions who have unique styles of fighting and equipping themselves. There are already distinct battlefields, castles and heroes available as well as a concrete roadmap for what each faction will want to do. Basically fits right into the warham:TW style.

Cautiously optimistic. I like the idea of modern BFME2 but for me the main fun was stomping hordes of orcs and uruks, not fighting spearmanii vs. spearmanii, just doesn't make for as good a spectacle. I see that a night king faction is playable, hopefully they'll provide some fodder.

the producers of the TV show were raging homosexuals with daddy issues who restaged every scene with Renly and Stannis in them to make Renly look like a more legitimate king and to make Stannis look like an incompetent and fanatical tyrant. The books cut off just before the Siege of Winterfell but Shireen isn't even there for Stannis to burn in the first place, she's still at Castle Black, and when his men suggest that he start burning people for Rh'llor to clear the blizzard that's trapped them in the countryside of Winterfell, he tells them to "pray harder" and refuses to burn any of his men except for 4 men at arms who were caught cannibalizing corpses. In the last chapter where he appears (a teaser chapter for the unfinished next book) he sends one of his knights with money from the Iron Bank of Braavos to buy sellswords from Essos and as he's leaving, tells him
>โ€œIt may be that we shall lose this battle,โ€ the king said grimly. โ€œIn Braavos you may hear that I am dead. It may even be true. You shall find my sellswords nonetheless.โ€
>The knight hesitated. โ€œYour Grace, if you are deadโ€”โ€
>โ€œโ€”you will avenge my death, and seat my daughter on the Iron Throne. Or die in the attempt.โ€
the idea that Stannis is going to burn Shireen is patently retarded fanfiction and the point where any book reader with a spine and common sense gave up on the show

>b-b-b-b-but GRRM said Shireen would get burned
he also said Winds would be done 8 years ago, words are wind

I don't see it being anything but bland to the extreme. I see people often want this setting for gsg or other strategy, but why? Footmen in red uniforms versus footmen in grey uniforms? It doesn't have enough fantasy in it for any real unit variety. Just the white walkers if they're actually playable, beacause I doubt they will put in anything from Essos.

Night King is now 1-0 on him. It's not enough that Jon was reduced to a simpering follower of 'muh queen' and sent packing beyond the Wall after accomplishing so little, Jon's humiliation must continue even beyond the show. Jon got a pretty raw deal despite more or less being the chosen one.

Sucks lorewise, but honestly makes the most sense for faction variety. Having Targs and White Walkers means you'll have 2 weirder factions while the Starks and Lannis can be 2 different sides of Westeros humans. Maybe Lannis being more offensive with knights and the Starks being defensive with lots of heavy infantry. While I'd prefer all the houses to get their own factions, it'd be pretty samey. I'm sure a good dev could pull it off, so if it's any good the devs will hopefully get the experience to make their factions good in DLC. I'm not getting my hope up for an experienced dev team to get an RTS right though. I feel like RTS is the easiest genre to fuck up through not understanding the many small things that make them satisfying. Age of Smegmar and Steel Harvest come to mind. On the surface they should be good, but when you play them, they feel so bad.

4 is a weird number for factions, 5 feels way better and Stannis would have fit perfectly. I guess he'll be the first DLC.

I want Essos armies so fucking bad even though I have no idea why we would even play in Essos and what said factions would be. I just like Essos.

If the game has subfactions, you could just have him as one of the 3 Baratheon subfactions. RTS games with subfactions are the best. Gives you some variety in a faction you already like. It'd really work in this game as well because each of the houses has several potential leaders. Probably won't happen though with 4 factions at release.

The Baratheons are too big and beloved by fans to be ignored as a faction. If the game gets DLCs I expect them to be one of the first.
If the publishers/devs are jewish enough the Baratheons will be a day 1 DLC.

This does not imply 4X. This implies a very simplified region management minigame, similar to what Bioware did for Dragon Age Inquisition's prequel minigame, The Last Court.

4 is already the maximum number of races an RTS can have (wc3), and 3 is the minimum (sc). Do you even RTS?

I gotta admit it. All the random gimmicky Essos troops would be fun.

Looks more like Battle for Middle-earth GoT.
>>2060850
Yeah that's why there're GoT mods for TW, and sandbox games like M&B, it fits well. It might fit the best for CK and of course there's GoT conversions for that as well. I haven't played that but it's probably better than company slop.

He'll be in there. He wasn't in the trailer because Jon Snow is the face of normie appeal. I was surprised at it actually, it's him fighting the Nightkin and when it was announced they said you'd make decisions and choose how you play or something... like every other game ever announced, yeah no shit. I had to look this up to realize it's a fucking RTS. Sorry to say, but I think this'll be shit.

Oh please, the TV show is the best thing that could've happened to those dumbass atheist jew muh grey morality books. It didn't end well yeah, but at least it ended. Plus besides the characters being the strong point (uh, some)... it's really kind of shit. Best if you're gonna play just to find ways to get your own enjoyment out of it.

Remember when adding new factions was commonly accepted but now I feel like we are stuck in the 3-4 factions for ever. Expansions adding new factions was a good time. Remember being dissapointed that the Naga weren't a playable faction outside of the campaign in frozen throne.

If Stannis burns Shireen it'll be post siege of Winterfell (obviously) and it'll be his attempt to make a true lightbringer

Wrong, 2 is the minimum. In fact there are games without separate factions at all.
As for max, if we're counting AoE/RoN style factions, which is just slight stat changes and 1 or 2 unique units, then the options are endless. If not then Dawn of War 1 had 9 unique factions with all expansions and then mods add even more.

Based. How long ago was the season 8 flop? 7 years? We need to move on from the TV designs now
