Apparently, serving the Drowned God gives you powers of teleportation.Īlthough personally, I'd rather be able to tap Melisandre's ass than teleport around the world. If you are worried about that, you can minimize the chance of the former happening by chilling in your castle up until a siege is about to end, and then switch yourself to a commander so you can take saltwives.

You may find yourself killed off in a duel, or murdered by your concubine (this happens very often for me) before you figure out which of your heirs is the correct one. The main flaw with Ultimogeniture is that Ironborn leaders live quite violent lives. But now you can see where I'm going with this: we're going to educate all our bastard kids (or as many as possible), and we'll legitimize only the one(s) with Ambitious/Ruthless/Greedy! Primogeniture also works if you have no trueborn sons. So when your heir takes the throne, make sure you get those concubines.ģ) Switch your Succession to Ultimogeniture

In most cases, your Iron King will produce a ridiculous amount of bastards from his concubines. You need a large amount of nubile saltwives for this to work. Marry a woman as old as possible, and try not to have any trueborn kids with her (make your heir spend time raiding or in command, which will impart a fertility malus).Ģ) Raid and Reave like the Grey King Himself This way is more reliable, and will ensure you keep the Seastone Chair.īy MILF, I mean "attractive older woman," for those of you living under a rock that have not seen American Pie.

And no, I'm not going to suggest Elective Succession. However, here is some advice on how to make sure you can make it easier for yourself to get the Ironborn Invasion casus belli. Only a certain kind of leader has the cunning and know-how to rip the Riverlands away from the Iron Throne (or the North if you have a thing for women who wear furs, I suppose). A massive Ironborn invasion should be a rare thing, not a commonplace occurrence. However, it does make sense from a book perspective. These traits are hard to get, though you may be able to pick up Ruthless by letting slaves escape, catching them, and lashing them. So you've played the Ironborn in the GoT Mod, but you're frustrated at the steep requirements for the "Invasion" Casus Belli, specifically the requirement that your ruler is Ambitious/Ruthless/Greedy.
