some feedback on 0.5 alpha
* its still quite, err..."boring" because the map is so empty. needs LOTS more villages, fiefs, towns. nice landmarks though. you could check out the crusader kings II mod for GoT which has tons of towns names and so on which are all lore-bound or taken from the books. if you added even half the towns that it has in there, you'd have about 5x more towns on the map.
* essos is basically empty. its a full day travel from town to town in some areas. its just....boring.
* encountered either a bug or something really strange:
-- i started game as "wildling"
-- went to winterfell
-- went to castle
-- talked to "priest of the old gods", donated 1000 gold to him (increased rating with "the old gods" by 5 or 15 - cant remember & "changed relations with all factions" message also came up)
-- talked to king robb, and the only option was "i want to talk to you about something" - and - "i want to make peace with the north".
-- i thought it was strange to see making peace option, so i chose that. he demanded 100k+ gold, which i couldnt pay, so he said "well i cant pardon you then".
-- i exited castle, exited winterfell, and immediately got popups for each faction declaring war on "the old gods"
-- i went back to winterfell, but now the town was hostile to me ("try to sneak in" etc)
-- all other factions were hostile to me. yet, i had just started the game and was not part of any faction. (technically, id be part of player_faction perhaps - but for some reason it called me "the old gods").
good work so far, keep it going.
still isnt quite worth playing, its all too uninhabited and dead.
not enough lords either, put in lots lots more lords.
there's factions that start out with just 1 lord especially in essos. not good, not good. GoT is all about the huge amount of characters and personalities. youve got more than you could ever wish for to put into this mod.
i know its a work in progress, just feedback on things that i still see as the most outstanding issues to make it "playable".
