Reviews - g-o-t-master

I've nerver thought it will be released, however, it is now and it is absolutely overwhelming.

They made verything new:
New clans, new skills with new models and effects.

Moreover they revamped the item system as well as the fighting system. It is much more of a challenge now and also much cooler.

For the future they laso panned new main quests for the sabbat - this will be awesome so that we have better endings.

It is clear that it is a 10/10

10/10 because you can do anything you want: Betrayal, Royal Marriage, commanding mercenaries like Griffith in Berserk ^^ or doing just small adventures.

Moreover the modding community is awesome - most mods surpass even other great commercial rpgs.

I played it a few days and now I come to the conclusion this mod makes the awesome Perisno even more awesome:

Most changes refer to female troops. And all of them make sense and improve the mod experience.

Ladies and other females look prettier and some armour changes make them look cooler, too.

I also like the idea of increasing the training speed a bit and that you can build a Perisno-Army from the start on - it's a suprisingly good balance.

Despite the improved females my favourite change is the upgrade option for demon pilgrims - ths just rocks ^^

Very, very detailed and exceptional work.

There is not a single armour in the game that surpasses this design.

Especially the painted face on the helm is completely awestrucking.

Even as an alpha this mod beats Cozur's ACOK with ease:

Everything from graphics to weapons to gameplay mechanics is very detailed; and even more is expected.

It has cool troop trees - far superior to ACOK - and cool unique weapons also far superior to acok.

The next update contains freaking White Walkers - it's gonna be awesome.

Personally the best thing is that I can bring my Lord of Light some offerings - because the night is dark and full of terrors ^^

This mod is not as good as many people see it - not even close:

Graphics:
Gekokujo, Brytenwalda and PoP have shown that a lot of graphical enhancements are possible. I do not talk about high-res etc. I talk about details concerning Troops,Landscape, Weaponn and Armours.

ACoK has got a liitle bit variety - a few nice locations resembling the GoT universe; but that's it.
What is pretty awesome is the map itself. It's a cool lore-based rebuild of the GoT-universe. I like it very much.

Sound:
Nothing special - pretty much lame standard stuff. And that is sad. In PoP i.e. I love the chorus and syllable sounds when fighting the Order of Dawn. On contrary this mod has nothing to remember regarding sound & music.

Gameplay:
The Gameplay is the main reason I cannot give more than 3 points.
I don't know how to tackle it. Let's start with the troops:
It feels like vanilla. A few Troop trees that are almost all the same with a few unspectacular upgrade options.
The troops vary a little bit in armour and weapon but nothing special - troops of the same level are almost equal. Gekokujo, Brytenwalda and PoP have proven that diverging strength of the units are the spice of the game. A lot of potential is lost here.

But what is equal worse are the overwhelming number of bugs, in particular the AI behaviour. You can conquer what you want your allies rarely leave defense troops in castles - indeed they are cosntantly patroling with a ridiculous pathfinding algorithm.

And let's not talk about the sea battles. Only a small number of troops can take part, no space for fighting and no troop indicators so you do not know which troops belong to you.

In addition there is nothing much to do in this mod. A few Quest, okay, but you cannot really betray, bribe or blackmail the lords and ladys, not even kill anyone special. It's Game of Thrones without death and betrayal - how absurd.

This mod is ok for GoT fans but a insult to true aSoIaF fans and it does not live up to the expectat
