(SP) Colonizing New Asagarth - Downsides?

[Fuklebark]

Single player guy here. I absolutely love the highlands biome, and had the idea of more or less conquoring New Asagarth. Kill off NPCs, slap down a bunch of foundations, replace with thralls, remake community. But, as I'm relatively new to this game, I was wondering if I'd be shooting myself in the foot by doing that?

i.e. X and Y NPCs only spawn here and they're the only ones that can give you Z.

You won't even be able to shoot yourself in your own feet.
You simply cannot build on top of New Asgarth. It is "protected" ground.

Plus... why would you deprive yourself of a valuable mining resource that way? Nords are by far the fastest way to mine iron in CE.

Downsides, it's an ideal location to Thrall hunting. It also is a unique place in which is the only location for certain objectives can be reached (certain unique followers and such).

Your call if you want to lose out on that. If you are going to take over an AI camp, it would be better to target one of the "smaller" locations and build on it from there.

You can with a mod :)

Oh yeah, I'm using the mod. Shoulda said that.

Thanks guys, I guess I kinda knew it but I was hoping. It'd be cool.

Since you're doing single player like a sane person, you could always admin in a few of the unique thralls. After all, you've conquered New Asgarth, so logically you're entitled to everything it has to offer.
