Crusader Kings II: Game of thrones mod

So there was a topic about CKII and how it was 75% off on steam. I hadn't played the game for a while so I decided to go online and see what interesting mods there were. I have not yet installed this, but it looks pretty interesting. http://citadel.prophpbb.com/topic657.html

It takes place during the uprising against the crazy Targaryen king and his kidnap-happy son. It seems more interesting than regular CKII if only because someone who has read the books/watched the show probably has more attachment to the characters than to some random historically accurate noble (unless you're really into history and know old dynasty's entire lineages/personalities/stories by heart or something). Stuff like keeping Jon Snow from ever being born (or winning the war as the Targaryens and having him be the heir of Rhaegar), educating Tyrion into being a commander and heir, killing off Catelyn and marrying Cersei to Eddard (poor fucker), and seeing how it plays out. Probably not a lot of replayability and can have weird stuff happening like Greyjoys taking the Iron Throne or Starks betraying Baratheons. And being a 0.1 v it's probably quite buggy. I'll post some impressions when/if I ever get around to trying it out, if someone else out there wants to give it a try and give their own impressions that would be awesome.

Is CK2 good?
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

Very good, if you're into these type of games that is, I'd say it's easily one of the best of this genre.

I actually helped quite a lot to win the war of the usurper for the good guy side, i wasnt very powerfull at the time but i sent all my own men to the war

i kept pressing claim on half of the north till i could claim independence and win, (During a seccond revolt. where eddard was actually revolting against robert baratheon). Won that stuff, then kept claiming more territory till i could call myself lord paramount

CK2 is probably the one of the best games Paradox have ever made, or close to it.

So, would you recommend me starting out with this mod rather than playing native CK2? I just bought it this weekend and haven't installed it yet.
In general, I tend to enjoy mods a lot more than native, such as Stainless steel for MTW2..

I'd reccomend doing a native game first. best bet is to play as an independant earl in ireland to learn the game. its the easiest, the only competition on ireland are other 1-2 county earls, and its nice and slow so you can learn the game

It's fairly easy to become the Duke of Munster within 10 years and getting the rest of Ireland in another 15.

Count of Jämtland to King of Norway and Sweden. Denmarks next.
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.
In memory of Jarlek_zeh_Blue, ruler of Ilvia
