Hello Everyone! Considering the last Version release and JM's mention of future plans being analised, I wanted to ask the general opinion about the addition of House Arryn to the Base Game.
I think in terms of ingame modification it would be a great middle step in order to advance to the Mother of Dragons Expansion, and in terms of programming it would be a small scale case for other modifications that would be much bigger and complex.
I've had quite a lot of experience in Pre-Pandemic House Gameplay with House Arryn where we used the T6/T7 rules, but all of that was before Mother of Dragons and the FAQ2 was released. All of the following is based only on Mother of Dragons rules.
Map Position and Modifications
º "The Mountains of the Moon" is splitted in two:
º The Mountains of the Moon: 1 Barrel
º The Vale of Arryn: Castle + Crown
º The Eyrie is transformed from Castle to Stronghold and the addition of a Port
º The Narrow Sea is splitted in two:
º The Bite with access to White Harbor and Moat Cailin
º New limited "The Narrow Sea"
Starting Set Up
º 2 Knights in The Eyrie
º 1 Knight in Vale of Arryn
º 1 Boat in Port of The Eyrie
Tracks Modification
º Iron Throne: Arryn goes Last. No modification
º Fiefdoms Track: Arryn goes 4th, after Martell and before Stark
º King's Court: Here are the heaviest modifications. Tyrell goes 4th getting the last star. Arryn goes 5th and Baratheon 6th with no stars none of them.
In our gameplay we realised Baratheon is pretty much screwed up in this position with almost no chance of taking KL. We decided to solve this by modifying the starting position: 1 boat in Blackwater bay and 1 in Shipbreaker bay.
Please take in mind that the Mother of Dragons Rulebook mentions these modifications of Tracks and Map as being normal and not related to the use of House Targaryen which is optional.
Let's see what y'all have to say. This could be a new and independent 7 Players Set Up
