So, they have said that the alliance system will be similar to conquest. Does this mean we'll get an alliance wheel of support/opposition? Might bring in some of the Fury plot flavor where certain houses hate others in particular.
Lannister
Tyrell
Baratheon
Night's Watch
Stark
Greyjoy
Targaryen
Martell
Lannister
So--Alliances.
- Obviously Tyrell is the town bicycle for both Bara and Lannister, that's canon.
- Bara/Night's Watch is canon, and a 1st Ed archetype.
- Stark has always supported Night's Watch.
-
Stark has ties to Greyjoy via Theon.
Robb/Theon in book one or Ramsay/Reek in book 4, take your pick.
-
Greyjoy has ties to Targaryen
via the Horn of Dragons and Victarion's quest to Slaver's Bay.
- Martell/Targ--you might think that, I couldn't possibly comment.
- Doran Martell wants Tywin Lannister to know what a loyal friend he has in Sunspear.
If you put these on a Wheel, what does opposition look like?
- Stark is directly opposite Lannister. Works fine.
- Greyjoy opposes Tyrell. Perfect. Raiding the Reach!
- Targ opposes Bara. Say no more.
- Martell opposes Night's Watch. Meh. I suppose that the southernmost and northernmost factions would have no convergent interests.
So, maybe freely ally with "natural" alliances, need a Treaty Agenda to ally with oddball alliances, never ally with your opponent?
