Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

I read THIS, and thought of all those poor droids.

 

I have to try that mod. Middle-Earth works a lot better in a Total War environment but marrying your daughter to Sauron should be entertaining for a while.

But let's talk about a setting that works well in CKII: Game of Thrones. And more specifically: The eight episode of the third season. Don't worry yourself red-faced for the small wedding cake, there's more coming.

 

It's been far too long since I've played CKII. Haven't played enough to stop sucking, but I've never enjoyed a game that I suck at more.

Are there any essential CKII mods? The GOT one sounds fun, but I'm enjoying the regular setting enough.

 

THIS SW/Wild West mashup is currently exploding over reddit. Me likey.

 

It is rather old by now actually
Here is the guy who make them's pages

He has made a lot of Star Wars mashup
Samuraj
Wild West
Road Warrior
Steampunk
Rom
Cyberpunk
Retro science fiction serials
WWII
Fantasy
etc.

EDIT: GrandAdmiralJello you should look into his Roman War figures http://sillof.deviantart.com/gallery/44944031

 

Okay, cool. It's still currently exploding over reddit.

Yeah, his page is linked in the imgur album. I'm very impressed.

 

You people should really give his Faster, Empire! Strike! Strike! figures a look

In the future, sir, share this stuff as soon as you find it. Then we can all know about stuff before it was cool.

 

Well then, do you know about Fred Perry's Steam War comic?





That Michael Vilardi who worked for WEG have posted some of his Star Wars images on deviant art

and then there is Otis Frampton who has made some excellent Star Wars art http://otisframpton.deviantart.com/gallery/41751950
F.ex. this commission of an image that could come from Star Wars Episode VII



Is that good Ulicus ?

 

If you enjoy the Elder Scrolls games, I would recommend the Elder Kings mod. It's more stable than GOT, has all sorts of fun titles, Akaviri and other fun groups are playable (since it's the second era), and a better custom soundtrack than AGOT. I once restored Ayleid control over Cyrodiil- the title actually changes to Kingdom of Ald-Cyrod. However, the vampirism is supposed to be a bit broken. Other than that, I second the recommendation of CKII+.

And I actually have given the LOTR mod a spin. It's just as bad as it sounds. Not to mention the terrain and political maps are ugly IMO.

 

How does vampirism translate to CKII? I'm having visions of offering rival houses marriage to one of my bloodsucking chidren...

 

Fred Perry's Steam War is, to my understanding, actually not and adaptation of SW but it is highly inspired by it and it's visual design

 

If they were one person, they wouldn't be able to as effectively teach kids responsibility. Everyone knows good self-help seminars involve at least two people.

 

This video makes me realize we're going to have to memorize a whole ton more crazy names for the sequels... especially if they have Lucas's input. Because let's face it -- nobody invents a crazy name better than the Maker.

 

To be honest, it's not that much of an exaggeration to say that one of Lucas' greatest talents is coming up with great names for his characters.

 

Spoiler

Appropriately enough he is shooting up on something a little more powerful on Arrow. Now we just need a Green Lantern cameo.[\SPOILER]

 

Might want to edit spoilers in. Jello hasn't watched the second season (not really direct, but something can be inferred). Though he deserves it for calling me the worst person ever But I guess I will begrudgingly admit it can be hard to tell the truth.

 

I'm not entirely sure just yet. I've yet to get a character infected. I suspect you get immortality, but also get hated for being a bloodsucking spawn of Molag Bal. There's probably other mechanics as well.

 

Haha, good point, tried to be a little vague. Hopefully fixed via some smartphone editing.
