Should I buy just the base game to play AGOT mod?

[Sunbach]

So I was bored and started re watching the GOT series and I got this urges to play a game in the GOT universe and CK3 AGOT mod is the best option. I have never played a CK game before but I have started watching some youtube lets play and tutorial and the game is interesting to me. Just need some advice to finally commit to it.

The game itself is pretty good but the AGOT mod is a masterpiece. It also has tons of submods that add more stuff.
There's other great mods too, for example the LOTR mod is a work of art as well.

The game itself can take some time to learn but imo its worth it.

I think, he asks if there're any extra mechanics introduced by some DLC that are used by this mod.

I would recommend getting throne room, tournament, as well as adventurer dlc to get the full experience, especially for agot and its submods

I'd definitely recommend trying the base game regardless just to get familiar with the mechanics.

I actually have a question about AGOT myself - I am not familiar with the TV show so will playing this mod feel too alien and confusing? It looks really good and I have a good grasp of CK3 but I am not sure if I will be able to pick things up.

It seems to be a good idea, especially since you have looked videos. The game now and maybe around Eastern some DLC will cost less; for the next playthrough.

Personally, I love GoT, but for a strategy game? In the films/books - apart no realistic feudal structure (few low nobles) - this world contains nearly no economy, which is the base of a strategy game. If it's added, so it's for me somehow not more a GOT world for me. But maybe for CK3 it works. :) Have fun.

No, it's like if you started watching House of the Dragon before Game of Thrones. You may get more and recognize some things, but it's in no way required to know what's going on. The main bookmark for the mod starts you off in Robert's rebellion, which is something that happened a few years before the show's start.

Roads to power is a MUST buy. Unlanded characters is like half of AGOT
