If you need a mod to look at something post:

- A link.
- A brief description of your problem/request.

I would like to request a odd scoutroll. I'd like to know the schedules of the Westerland ships carrying gold from the mines to lannisport. I know it might be rejected but i thought it thematic and interesting to try.-

[Poach]

I don't see where ships would be involved in moving gold from the mines (in Casterly Rock and Goldentooth) to Lannisport. Surely it would all occur over land?

[Narf]

Well I imagine things are much easier to move by sea in a mountainous place like the westerlands. Lannisport to and from casterly rock from the riverport in casterly rock to the sea port in lannisport. Other than that I vaguely remember something about there having been A LOT of mines but at the time of robert a lot had dried up creating ghost towns. Which would not have happened yet in this time. I actually imagined a lot would be moved by sea to casterly rock and lannisport. As well as taxes and so on..

[Poach]

Casterly Rock and Lannisport are literally next to each other (the wiki picture for Lannisport shows the Rock in the same picture) and if you can find me gold mines along the Westerlands coast that would have moved their goods by sea I'll certainly look at trying to create some sort of representation of that. The only two major gold producing regions I'm aware of are Casterly Rock and Goldentooth, which would move shipments of gold along the River Road to Lannisport, as it's far inland with no access to waterways.

[Narf]

Sadly I can only give you a partially satisfactory answer. But I will in the hope that it might convince you. There are gold mines at Casterly Rock, the Golden Tooth, yes, but also in Castamere, Nunn's Deep, and the Pendric Hills. And it's been said there there had been many more which had run dry in recent times. Making ghost towns of some of the settlements. Certainly there'd be a slew of mines along the cliff coasts.

Yes, but these gold mines were not in direct control of the Lannisters but rather their vassals. The gold from Castamere would have stayed in Castamere, and so on. Even if they did trade it, it would make much more sense to move it overland to Lannisport because its the largest port in the region and therefore a lot easier to export from there.

[Poach]

I'll have a chat with the mods, then, to see if anyone has any opinions on it. Work would then have to be done to create a fair system for raiding ships instead of just provinces. Sadly the naval aspect of our rules is underdeveloped and often ignored because we rarely have a major naval players or events.

[Narf]

Oh, nevermind Poach. I know how much work you've done the past weeks. I genuinely, really don't want to add to it. Disregard it. I don't know what I thought.. I guess I was thinking more in the lines of RPing with the information and maybe at the end of the RP make some profits. But yes. Ofcourse it'd require a whole lot of shebang, to work. Disregard..

[Poach]

I'll give it some thought, it honestly shouldn't be difficult to cobble together at least something that'll cover this game even if it can't scale up to an all-Westeros model. It can be as easy as 1 gold convoy a week that you can roll to find and then attack, but it'll be heavily guarded.

[Narf]

Wow, you are industrious. I look forward to see what you come up with, if anything. Don't make it a priority or anything. I've seen good mods such as yourself burn out from their own effectiveness - Example: Stildawn.

[The Mad Skylord]

I need a mod to roll how many Shield Island ships come out to face me, and how many men they muster to defend themselves.
