Assassinating the world with Melisandre

[TNTNate]

So, started a game as Stannis, and I noticed that I seem to be spawning an inordinate amount of Shadows from Melisandre. First I kill Renly and and his heir (though his faction has the annoying tendency to adopt anyone with a sword and surname, so still working on them), then Joffrey and Tommen (destroying the faction, opening King's Landing, and getting myself a couple of nice crowns). Over the course of forty turns, I've assassinated about 3/4 as many faction leaders and heirs (seriously, either the newest faction leader and/or heir is assassinated, or killed/captured and executed by Stannis and his roaming army of crossbowmen). You'd think that people would stop wishing to be adopted by Renly with the amount of family deaths.

That said, my campaign is going splendidly. I've secured an alliance with the Martells, Allestor is heading to White Harbor to sort out this Stark king business, and the Lannisters came to me begging for a ceasefire (I assume the Tullys ACTUALLY lived through the first two turns and proceeded to rape the hell out of Tywin and his heirs)

So, in a question to the team, should they read this: Should we tone down the amount of 10-skill assassin shadows that Mel births in for the turn, or is this fine (please note that I rather enjoy killing everyone )

[Murfmurf]

Yeah, we will without doubt

I once started a game as Renly and lost within 3 turns, lolz.

When you can keep it up, the good of the world comes to you. What I mean by that you'll have to figure out yourself.

Does the computer get Mel's shadow spawns? I dont think I have ever seen a computer controlled Stannis with one.
Oh and slightly off topic but, what is being done to stop the Tullys getting raped when they are controlled by the computer?

I don't know...on Med/Med, I've seen the Tullys take Casterly Rock and Lannisport one game and Kings Landing in another, all without my intervention.

Know you know how Brienne felt.

[TNTNate]

I mean, I think the trigger for them is when Stannis is within a Shadow's range of an enemy leader/heir, and it worked great with the Joffrey faction (killed Joffrey, killed Tommen, faction gone), but Renly just kept adopting people. So, if you all implement the think where Stannis and Renly are each other's heirs, all should work fine. Oh, and slow up the adoption rate. I get a new candidate every turn

[MachoKing]

That trigger would make sense, but atleast on very hard, ive noticed it varies each time. Ive played Stannis about 6 times and each time it seems different. Take last time, he spawned at lot at the start, but by turn 150, I couldnt get him to have Mel push out any more shadows, this is even while he is in viewing distance for more then 10 turns of Tyrion Lord of Casterly Rock

Somewhere Tywin is crying in his grave....

[Heart of Madness]

Somewhere Eddard is doing a little shambling dance!

And of course, as soon as I post this, Melisandre stops spawning Shadows. Maybe it's a Renly trigger. Cuz I was near the Lannisters (when at war), the Tyrells, and currently near the KING in the North, Bran, and nothings happening. Oh well, army of crossbows rapes northern dismounted knights

A bit off topic (again... sorry I don't know how to create a new thread but... )
but how is Bran's crippleness going to represented in the 1.0 version? Will it just be cutting his movement point in half or something more? I assume Bran Robb and Rickon will be custom generals but has this been confirmed?

Bran always has Hodor to carry him around, remember?

He also has that custom saddle courtesy of Tyrion.

[Captain Zoran]

Something like this for Bran perhaps?

Wow, I'm glad I never watched that film. Looks awful.

There was a reason why that perticular scene was taken out of the theatrical version you know...

Still a horrible film.

I believe you misspelled "avant garde and Oscar-worthy"

[Fingon NL]

Wtf lol, that looks more like something that belongs in LotR
