Frankly, this one wasn't that shitty. At least House Martell stayed in the game, even though they were in a tie with the Baratheons as "players one step behind the others".
Hi! I am Bidderlyn, the creator of the original "Game of Thrones Overhaul" back in 2015. That's...9 years ago, which is crazy. This is the direction and heights I have never dared dreaming the scenario would achieve, and its so awesome to see that. For me, seeing this scenario concept 9 years later being alive and played is beyond thrilling. The scenario and its branches has grown to be so much more than what I could foresee in the best way possible, and I'm only grateful I was there to kick it off. It's awesome to still see my own input after all these years with with the Relic victory and Contested Castles concepts still being a core gameplay element - While adding amazing additions such as hidden objectives that play so so well into the intrigue diplomacy theme! If I could wish the scenario would go in any direction, that would be it. Glad I didn't have to spend that wish and that you made it come true :) Thank you Superdomedome, SOTL, Locodon, and everyone involved in the game of thrones diplomacy scenarios. You've made my week!
Bidderlyn, I was hoping to see you in the comments!!! This is Keran, from 2015 as well… those were good times and amazing games. I hope everything is well after such a long time!
@@riccardolamparelli7113if you like single player campaigns checkout "A Khaleesi's Journey". It's a GOT scenario and sort of a what if Drogo hadn't died.
This was YOUR mod?! 😃 Ayo, you guys did a phenomenal job with the costumized sprites! I also loved the little detail that each regional capital has a flag with the sigil of the original owner (Greyjoy flag at Pyke, Tully flag at Riverrun, etc). It's such a cool detail to visualize who that area belonged to, regardless of who comes and conquers it later!

I really love the Crusader Kings Game of Thrones mod but AoE2 is the only game where you see the same absolutely insane diplomacy as in the source material.
The original GoT map video is one of my all-time favourites, so glad to see it revisited. Also, that surprise appearance by Dr Bashir caught me off guard.
Wish D&D hadn't butchered the Dorne plotline and Doran's character. "Dr Bashir" deserved to play a much more important role in the show before his fall!
13:09 that reference to Rome is awesome! The work on this map seems incredible. Not only the look, the castles etc. but also that random secret objectives thing is amazing! You can't just play knowing Red or Blue have this particular objective and thus play around it, it's just random!
GROWING STRONG, BABY!! ✊️😃 What a comeback for House Tyrell compared to 7 years ago! Hey, Spirit of the Law. I know this isn't usually what you do, but could you cover more games of this mod or others in the future? I think they have such a great dynamic and your narrative is so fantastic to go with them!
Wooooooow !!!!! I can only imagine the effort and time that went into creating this scenario (and this video !!!) It's by far the most impressive work for aoe I've ever seen after tales of middle earth Congratulations to the developers of this mod ! Thank you Spirit for going through this with such a beautiful explanation !
This is the kind of content I dreamed of for Age of Empires; complex maps with logistics and choke points, diplomacy, and complex win conditions. I love it.
Lmao, I just started watching the show and rewatched the original video recently, great timing! Good to see the Tyrells finally putting those farms to good use.
They finally cementing to the Lords of the Reach WHY they really are the Lords Paramount of the Riverlands! AND took the Iron Throne too! _(take that, House Hightower)_
I loved playing the old map circa 2014 to 2016, Greyjoys my fav, unless you got ganged up on, you could easily be the “wildcard” and sneak a relic or two
Whoa! AoE does have a lot of custom scenario capabilities 🔥🔥🔥 nice work. Also, i would love it if you compare the real life battles that happened in phases (like first seige fire, then cavalry charge then infantry charge) to AoE2 mess and how accurate are battles. Thanks.
There is not one but three different communities that play custom scenarios in multiplayer. It's a bit sad that almost nobody is aware that they exist.
Can we hope for more multiplayer maps reviews? There are literally dozens of them, yet community seems to be mostly unaware that there is an entire new dimension to the game they afford.
Yo SOTL I'll watch gladly another gameplay of this masterpiece if you follow the one true king of Westeros as House Baratheon of Dragonstone: our man Stannis
I don't remember much from the novels and don't really care for the series, but this whole game, with its back and forth and hidden victory conditions influencing the strategy made me remember, more than anything else, several of the board game gmes I played and witnessed. (For those who don't know, the Game of Thrones board game is a combination of resource control & management with base engine from Diplomacy.)
There is also House of the Dragons Mod available made by Citadel Icey, and it features easier map navigation, better gameplay, and dragons as well. Please Create a video about it as well. 😊
I was kind of expecting there to be something like "And then at the 2 hour mark, the White Walkers turned up, everyone tried to rally against them and the rest of the game turned into survival for an hour as they got overrun. Then the Walkers invaded Braavos and defeated Stannis who was hiding out there with Tywin..."
Oh man, imagine if they created their own customized sprites for units. If so, I would pray they make House Tully like they appear in HotD, that is by far their best looking armor!
I havent played aoe2 in like a year but there used to be quite a few of these types of scenarios(not just got) and with quite a few semiregular players But sadly it became harder and harder to get matches going so i stopped checking after a while I wonder what happened to the people i used to play these wacky scenarious with and get a bit sad when i think about it
Cheer on, mate! You'll still meet plenty of great lads and lasses to play with online in the years to come. 🙂 I'm sure your old friends are doing fine! We move on and keep making more friends! 👍
Even the game having a shitty Dorne subplot is peak Game of Thrones
Frankly, this one wasn't that shitty. At least House Martell stayed in the game, even though they were in a tie with the Baratheons as "players one step behind the others".
Tunnel Snakes Rule!
"it was clear the greyjoys had made a miscalculation".
lest we forget the words of house Greyjoy, "we do not calculate"
The Greyjoys when they lose for the 500th time by attacking the entire realm "surprised pikachu face"
Catelyn Stark said it best, "Never trust a Greyjoy".
@@hsgame4088they do get resources from pillaging in this scenario
"Tyrell had the best story of all of them". Shot fired.
How dare he. We all know that Bran the Broken has the best story of them all.
I'm wincing with the repressed memory of that scene being brought up again...
I’d like to think Olenna had a big hand in it. The Queen of thorns has one hell of a story.
The contrast between House Tyrell in the two videos on this mod is something to behold.
In the actual mod, Tyrells are actually the weakest civ
@@Hellblazer1o2 fair enough, i was more talking player behavior.
Growing strong.
As green continues to farm..
Tyrell's subplot is literally the only part I remember of the original video.

didnt try it yet but thank you for your effort man
You've invented the bridge demolishing/building system! Is it present now tho?
yeeeees loved that!
This is so heartwarming ❤
Thanks for covering our mod, Spirit!
Its great i mostly play vanilla AoE 2 but I'll surely try this masterpiece!
Any hope for a solo Version?

Riverlands being bullied by everyone during a war? Looks pretty lore-accurate to me.
_The Westerosi Balkans for real, poor guys never get a break!_ 😭
Riverland's becoming every major wars battle field
11:11 Balon kinda forgot about the North's and Riverlands fleet and Robb's forces.
Very common Balon L.
He was distracted by it being such a good morning, a nice day for fishing.
@@willemverheij3412 Ain't it ?
@@paolherledan4917hu-hah!
That video was quite a bit of work, wasn't it? 😅
This was a lot more entertaining than it had any right to be
6:17 He did not just drop the most casual "Ligma" joke in youtube history
Was gonna say lmao 😂 he had that one READY
0/10 Should have been “sugma” 😂
You know I rewatched the old got video and wished we saw more scenario videos again. Can't wait to find the time to watch this one!
This was such a fun watch, perhaps my favorite video from you. Would love to see more games on this map again and again
13:09 that reference to Rome is awesome!
The work on this map seems incredible. Not only the look, the castles etc. but also that random secret objectives thing is amazing! You can't just play knowing Red or Blue have this particular objective and thus play around it, it's just random!

It's by far the most impressive work for aoe I've ever seen after tales of middle earth
Congratulations to the developers of this mod !
Thank you Spirit for going through this with such a beautiful explanation !
Harrenhal just getting constantly swapped hands is very fitting.
the modders names are some of the best ive seen in a group for along time 🤣
Shoutout to the Brutus joke by Edmure’s actor. Subtle hint at his role in Rome
This is the kind of content I dreamed of for Age of Empires; complex maps with logistics and choke points, diplomacy, and complex win conditions. I love it.
Finally this mod gets some recognition!
wow, those masterfully crafted landscapes
friggin masterpiece!
Yeah, this one is a massive improvement over the already great map from the other mod of 7 years ago.
is there any other game that has this much of variety in scenrios and modding? this is part of what makes aoe2 the best game ever for me
Warcraft 3 used to be that one versatile game
Medieval 2 total war, Skyrim, Pokémon fire red
Warcraft 3 had fully working mario kart clones and flight simulators
Lmao, I just started watching the show and rewatched the original video recently, great timing! Good to see the Tyrells finally putting those farms to good use.
They finally cementing to the Lords of the Reach WHY they really are the Lords Paramount of the Riverlands! AND took the Iron Throne too! _(take that, House Hightower)_
16:07 Hey Stannis! What’s the plannis?
Watching an Aoe2 match completely unrelated to the show and seeing Greyjoy and Lannister crash out first,
Me: Hahaha, yes! The North remembers!
Not gonna lie, i enjoyed this more than i thought i would.
Wow! I watched the original vid you posted all those 7 years ago. Time sure fies. This was great, bro.
Spirit, you can't do this to me. I played so much of the old LocoDon map, and now you are pulling me back in ^^
As always... The humour was top notch!
I love the got show trash talk. Only a true fan yould harness such bitternes
The amount of time they must've spent on this.
I tip my hat.
13:08 - a Brutus reference for Tobias Menzies? I see you're a man of culture as well!
NOT LEBLONDE JAMES 😂😂😂
He touched my hoohaa
I loved playing the old map circa 2014 to 2016, Greyjoys my fav, unless you got ganged up on, you could easily be the “wildcard” and sneak a relic or two
We all know Olenna Tyrell was the real mastermind behind the war.
Loved the game and your narration of the gameplay :D

Mace the Ace strikes again
Very well explained scenario and awesome summary of the game. Very entertaining! Thanks! 🙏
You did such a great job retelling this battle. I hope you do more videos like this (I loved the Barbarians at the Gate mod video too) ❤
Confirming once and for all that Mace Tyrell is the GOAT.
STORMLANDS SHOULD BE YELLOW AND DORNE ORANGE AAAAAAAH IT HURTS MY BRAIN
I would love regular GoT highlights from Spirit tbh. Great you came back to this
if you commented these regularly, Id be thrilled lmao, this was a great watch
The Julian Bashir picture for Dorne is top notch.
_The actor was wasted so hard with the TV show plotline for Dorne._ 🤦♂️ A shame, really. I really like "Dr Bashir".
I'm sorry, what do you mean 7 years ago? T_T How time flies.. (thanks for still being around
This is one of the best mods! Way better made than FVD!
The last one was SEVEN (7) years ago?! o.O
_Doesn't time fly fast?_ 😢
That original video was a odd comfort watch of mine. So love to see that a second one is out!
These types of videos are your most entertaining to me by far!
This is a cool format. It would be great to see more of this scenario.
I'm not into GoT but I'm into SoTL
Thank you for this, and for all the references.
Thanks for making this mod more popular! 😀
Can we hope for more multiplayer maps reviews? There are literally dozens of them, yet community seems to be mostly unaware that there is an entire new dimension to the game they afford.
i loved the first rendition of this mod from hd, and this certainly lives up
Yo SOTL
I'll watch gladly another gameplay of this masterpiece if you follow the one true king of Westeros as House Baratheon of Dragonstone: our man Stannis
Stannis the mannis?
That would depend on how well the Mannis played in the next game.
Here, he was pretty behind everybody else. Not bad, but not good either.
I thought so much about this and hoped you make a video about it !!
I don't remember much from the novels and don't really care for the series, but this whole game, with its back and forth and hidden victory conditions influencing the strategy made me remember, more than anything else, several of the board game gmes I played and witnessed. (For those who don't know, the Game of Thrones board game is a combination of resource control & management with base engine from Diplomacy.)
The yellow-orange switch on Baratheons and Martells is criminal
I just love those videos so it's nice to see a new one !
Good to see that Age 2 HD still gets love from the fans
In the end it was the Power of Many
Man, someone should mod _Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds_ into AoE2 DE
Thanks for showcasing this mod, I've been really enjoying it but it deserves more love
Should we expect aom content soon ?
I missed this so much! Would love ot see more like this
Heya, I loved the gameplay commentary? Do you think you can cover another game, similar to how you made in this video?
It's craaazy how this was so intresting xD SOTL is a genius.
No interest in GoT, but kudos to the creators for coming up with such an in-depth scenario 👏🏻
Darn I had so much fun with the old map!
Please more of this map! I really enjoyed it
Without spoiling the ending, I'll say that the BEST (in terms of who's best for the people of Westeros) HOUSE won that. 😇
Awesome scenario! You should definitely make a video of you playing it through
Again modders did a better job than the developers, with these building mods
Great news the mod is back but I kinda miss the charackter shenanigans from the old mod.
There is also House of the Dragons Mod available made by Citadel Icey, and it features easier map navigation, better gameplay, and dragons as well. Please Create a video about it as well. 😊
Splendid video
That was riveting, thank you
I like these kinds of videos! You should do them more often SOTL!
Clash of Kings is awesome. I play regularly. House of the Dragon mod is awesome as well.
I'd love you to cover more mod stuff!
I could watch a million of these.
This is so awesome
I was kind of expecting there to be something like "And then at the 2 hour mark, the White Walkers turned up, everyone tried to rally against them and the rest of the game turned into survival for an hour as they got overrun. Then the Walkers invaded Braavos and defeated Stannis who was hiding out there with Tywin..."
Now do it in age of mythology to add the dragons and white walkers 🧟
I wonder if some mod community is already working on it. House Targaryen, if playable, would be busted!
@@danbernardes1726 check out House of the Dragon mod. There are Dragons in it
@@MrDibarathere is a house of the dragons mod with dragons who starts as eggs and then grow also in my opinion the HoD mod is better balanced
I'm just done watch GoT and this video show up somehow 😂, and here I'm back again to Spirit of the Law
That was awesome. I would love to see the full gameplay or someone to cast on YT.
This and Skyrim, they both look pretty good.
The GRR 😡😡😡 I can feel the GRR from this video
A song of grunts & laments will be heard from various players from this mod
Broo i remember playing with Locodon we had like 4 hour long games cos we were just fooling around and talking :D
if im not mistaken there is a mod that addes GoT factions to the game, its rather ambitious too. It would be very nice to see a thorough review on it.
Oh man, imagine if they created their own customized sprites for units.
If so, I would pray they make House Tully like they appear in HotD, that is by far their best looking armor!
House Martell's moto: "Well, I tried"
The mod we really really need again is Independent Architecture and maybe Independent Units! This were the best mods in the HD Edition!
Mace the Ace, Master of the peak wins in the end
Growing strong!
13:08 haha! The perfect Rome reference
I havent played aoe2 in like a year but there used to be quite a few of these types of scenarios(not just got) and with quite a few semiregular players
