A map of westeros

Post by Kerensky »

Hello everybody; first of all, excuse my bad english, I'm spanish, and don't write properly
:(.

Well, I'm a Song of Ice and Fire Song fan, a series of books written by George R. Martin, and I'd like to play in the world he imagined. It's a very apropiated world for Conquer club; it has already some continents, some regions that give specific powers and abilities and many conflictive borders :). There's a link where you can examine the map and the "continents" within.

Maybe the fact that the map is vertical could bring some problems; I don't know if it has a copyright too.

Well, nothing more, it's just a suggestion :). Have a good time.

If there is a copyright email or write him and see if he will allow it.

People have attempted making a map of Westeros in the past, so far no one has been successful. Permission was obtained by KEYOGI a long while back ;) Although i would ask again, i don't see why they wouldn't say yes again :)

Previous attempts

There is plenty of support from what i've seen but no one seems to want to make the map ;) If anyone ever makes a map of Westeros, they will have a lot of nitpickers and i doubt it will be a very pleasant experience.

Please do this! I have wanted to see this forever, even tried it once. If you want ideas:

I think it does a really good job dividing it up into "continents". Also, you could get a bonus for holding X number of towers on the wall, but you can't attack the rest of the world from the wall or something.

Also, you could get bonuses for holding X key cities. (Winterfell, Riverrun, The Eyrie, Pyke, Casterly Rock, Highgarden, King's Landing, and Sunspear). Maybe if you hold two you get +1, 2=+2, 3=+4, 4=+6, 5=+10, etc.)

Mountains and rivers could make boundries. It would be AWESOME!!!

I could see a bonus structure very much tied to the fealty system. For example once you have a faction's capital territory you can get bonuses from having a certain number of lords and/or sub-lords, and so forth.
