Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion and for your time

Don't do ice and fire it's literally the worst mod ever, broken and unfinished, where Clash of kings is what you want, the most complete mod ever made for a game, every city is custom made and spectacular, there are tons of quests, custom tournament arenas and so much more it would take a book to fill.

And if you know these two mod creators have a history but both are on the same level if you ask me when they started bombing his review page which lowers them to his level.

The mod is a sure 10/10, only reason you see it as 8 is because of the mod creators of Ice and Fire they decided to review spam all with 1 out of 10.

But try both mods if you don't believe me and compare them, you will see that i am right.

Yeah, right.

I have no idea who the creators of the other mod are, and I am certainly not motivated by them, but in my opinion, the ♥♥♥ is not worth playing, at all. It's broken beyond repair. Nice to look at, but not even close to a good Warband experience.

Poorly modeled weapons, whole troop lines that are functionally useless, bad map nodes, broken lord A.I., nonsensical damage model, broken diplomacy, a ton of exploits, unearned, overly powerful rewards for trivial tasks, frustrating random events, hanging triggers, imported mods without understand of what makes them work.

The ♥♥♥ is a piece of sнiт. The other mod, whatever of fire and ice, is at least playable. Neither is really top ten material, in my opinion, although if you forced me to choose, I'd at least try playing the fire&ice.

From my little experience with the two mods, I'd say ACoK 7.1 is definitely more polished and stable. Yet, it feels like Mount and Blade with a Game of Thrones map, characters and a few quests.
AWOIAF 4.3.5 is more indepth, yet less polished (I encoutered serious graphical glitches and bad animations).

I would like to continue playing the latter more, but because of the bugs I will wait more. Plus, the female faces are a deal breaker too. They literally use the same face with slighly different hair. Why even bother with this rather than using the vanilla faces? It would have been a lot better than this.

Hmm, what would be the most important mods that you'd recommend? Looking forward to playing something even better

The most 'important' mod would be diplomacy, which is a nice addition to most standard mods. But the mods I enjoy the most are the following:

Most realistic feel - Brytenwalda (but a punishing slog at times)
Most stylish - Gekokujo (but seriously on the easy side)
Most historical - La Guerre de Cent Ans (but may be currently unavailable due to developer drama)
Most complex - Nova Aetas (but is buggy as hell)
Most ambitious - Perisno (but still has quite a few problems)
Most fun to play - Phantasy 2018 (but make sure you download v158a2)
Most polished - Prophecy of Pendor (but extremely hard to start)
Most boom-boom-bang-bangy - Suvarnabhumi Mahayuthn (but suffers from kitchen sink syndrome)
Most satisfying to win - The Last Days (but changes core mechanics so they're unrecognizable)
Most entertaining story - Viking Conquest (but is a paid DLC)

Not all of them have as much unique graphics content as the GoT mods, but they work well as Warband mods. Most of them have more interesting unique game mechanics, as well.

Thanks man! I will look into those when I'm done with either of my GOT playthrough :D ( boom boom bangy especially haha)

Just one question though, I can not use "Diplomacy" features in any mod if I don't subscribe to it on workshop?

[Go0lden_Archer]

For me AWOIAF wins the contest. I've played both ACOK 7.1 and AWOIAF 4.3 this last month, and before it, never even tried AWOIAF. But Played ACOK since it's 3.0.

And right now, after playing ACOK again I got bored pretty fast, its a MnB with GoT units. While I was looking for something closer to actual GoT, and I found it in AWOIAF. More deep, hard, rewarding, and luckily thus far after few weeks of constant playing in 2 games of over 500 days each, I haven't ecnountered any bugs. While in ACOK 7.1 I was running around with Jaime Lannister party name and had to use 3rd party tools to fix it lol

For me upside of ACOK is only it's quests, the amount of them that is. But AWOIAF wins in other departments hands down. Better towns and more castles, more characters, WW and Deny (Even if it's just repainted Aegon without dragons)

Diplomacy is it's own mod in the launcher, so you cannot use it combined with something else. But plenty of mods out there use it anyways in some shape or form)

I see, thanks.
And I agree that ASOIAF is more deep. But I don't know why he doesn't change the faces :D

Of all the mods I listed, only three do NOT include Diplomacy in some form.

Prophecy of Pendor does not, because it has its own version that does pretty much the same, which was developed back in the days before Diplomacy was a thing.

The Last Days do not, because teh mod changes the gameplay so much, that Diplomacy's features have little use. After all The Last Day is about the War of the Ring, and the Free People are past diplomacy with the Towers.

Viking Conquest does not, because it is a paid DLC, and cannot include Open Source content such as Diplomacy. But the Brytenwalda mod, by the same authors is free and includes Diplomacy, as well as a lot of other content. But the paid version still has better story and some advanced mechanics.

By the way, the latter are part of what makes ASoIaF deeper, as it is built upon Viking Conquest.

Prophesy of Pendor sounds like something I'd love to get into. It's hard and has a fantasy setting, I don't think I would like the historical-inspired ones. Vikings Conquest is a must try though because I always imagined how this game would be with an actual story. I'm also intrigued by the complexity of "Nova Aetas".

Off topic, M&B tends to get a bit boring in late game, after your character gets developed a lot imo. Can't wait to see how the "family/descendants" mechanics plays out in Bannerlord. I think it's one of the biggest improvement over this game, if nothing else. I suppose there's no mod that does this, correct?

awoiaf have night walkers...and I can kill ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lords...so I like it more than acok

Both Game of Throne mods have issues.

For me ACOK's has way better combat, graphics, and overall "look" and "feel". Throw in some side quests, not thrilling but quests are always nice to have in game, but the economy is poopy and broken, and quests being buggy though. Winterfell isn't a city either...it's only a castle. Seriously?!

That and companions, even neutral ones like Caul who hates no one and likes no one and no one hates or likes him, losing moral and wanting to leave my party for no reason at all. Or content companions with no one to hate, randomly losing moral and wanting to leave as well. And no, smart ass, I win my battles, varied food, not at my max troop count, and barely suffer any casualties, if any.

Ice and Fire though, it's like a smashed up Brytenwilder/VC with GoT themed skin but I felt "meh" about playing it entirely. Graphically and visually, it's like 1/2 of what ACOK's is and honestly, I found the combat and animations not crappy like Floris, but not great like ACOK's either. However, it's tournaments are more fun than the 1v1 tournies in ACOK's, so you can't just cheese win it for easy rep and moneys. Economy isn't poop or broken like ACOK's though.

Now after putting in well over 30 hours into both mods, I prefer ACOK's over Ice and Fire, even though I gave up on ACOK's since my companions are all leaving left and right for no reason, just simply because combat is such a major part of the game and ACOK does it way better.
