Mount and Blade: Warband has more than a few Game of Thrones mods to its name, but if you’re looking for the most authentic Game of Thrones experience look no further than Mount and Blade: Warband – A World of Ice and Fire.A World of Ice and Fire drops you right into a Mount and Blade style adventure modeled perfectly to fit the world of Westeros. It’s cold, it’s brutal, and it replicates the lore and scope of the Game of Thrones universe as much as it can on the Mount and Blade engine.Mount and Blade is a hybrid strategy action RPG, which means that it blends your traditional top down strategy game with a punishing hack and slash medieval RPG. So not only do you get to rub shoulders with characters pulled directly from the book and the show, but you get a chance to build up your own army and pitch it against or for any faction you choose. Or as always, you can strike out as a fresh house and make your own claim for the Iron Throne.As a bonus, you can choose to build the world using information and lore directly from the books or the show, which allows you to choose between following the events on the big screen or staying true to George R.R. Martin’s lore in the books.
It’s a small difference, but a dramatic one that many disappointed fans of the series finale will likely enjoy.That said, approach this mod with a fair bit of caution. Mount and Blade: Warband – A World of Ice and Fire earned its spot on this list partly because of its punishing, realistic difficulty, which replicates what it would be like to try and rise in the world of Westeros with nothing but your wits and your weapons.You can read more about our experience.Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms – Westeros: Age of Petty KingsGame: Medieval II: Total War KingdomsBy: bertio5. This is one of the only mods on our list that doesn’t occur around or during the War of the Five Kings.
That said, the Westeros Age of Petty Kings mod for Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms earned its spot on this list because it’s set long before the start of the books and the show.Before Aegon had conquered much of anything much less unified the houses into the Seven Kingdoms we know and love, there was a lot of bloody fighting that this mod does its best to recreate true to George R.R. Martin’s vision.Westeros: Age of Petty Kings allows you to forge your way through a Westeros in its infancy, sending armies after the ancestors of Lannisters and chasing down raiders from beyond the wall with brutal efficiency.Installing this mod puts you in command of the armies of ancient Westeros in true Total War fashion and allows you to build the empire you want to rule while navigating the Game of Thrones with troops, gold, and raw military prowess. It takes a lot of swords to forge an iron throne, but mod author bertio5 wanted to make sure that you had everything you needed to build a house that’ll outlive the petty squabbles of Targaryen’s and Baratheon’s alike.Civilization V – A Mod of Ice and FireGame: Civilization VBy: VirtuaBozaVirtuaBoza’s A Mod of Ice and Fire is a massive overhaul of Civilization V that brings Firaxis’ unique turn-based gameplay to George R.R. Martin’s world of dragons and white walkers. As you would expect, this mod features a realistic map of Westeros as well as several civilizations built around the different houses and factions from Game of Thrones.
The goal is to play out your own careful plot to push your faction forward despite the many other houses allied against you. These factions range from Petyr Baelish in the Vale to Drogo with his Dothraki Khalasar, and each is meant to play dramatically differently in ways that you would expect from each character in the series.
If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, and already horribly addicted to Civilization V like most of the known world, this mod is a natural fit.So load up your favorite house and play out a deadly Game of Thrones the way only Civilization can. Who care’s how the eighth season ended when you can write your own story in Civ V?Seven Kingdoms: Total WarGame: Total War: AttilaBy: Seven Kingdoms Development Team.
