The episode starts with a trial for the release of Quenton Martell, but we also see prince Aerys grow up to be a strong warrior, and that egg he’s been sleeping with is about to hatch…

Welcome back to the Game of Thrones mod for Crusader Kings 2! This time, we will start around 40 years before the events of the show, in the War of the Ninepenny Kings. Maelys the Monstrous, the last of the Blackfyres, gambles everything in a final bid to restore the house of Daemon Blackfyre to the Iron Throne where they belong. We will see if the true heirs to the Iron Throne can outlast the Targaryen pretenders!

Love your videos. Can't wait for the AAR of this
Wil you do more crazy stuff like the marriage or killing people for no reason this would be cool and you could marry your own daughter which the realm would not accept but would show that your mad. In Game.
Name the dragon firerush
Well, prince Aerys seems to be a real badass. Only fourteen and already one of the best fighters in the realm and a dragonrider as well? Holy shit! He will have personal combat skill of like 110 once he inherits Blackfyre and his father's armor.
Is a second field of fire upon us?
It's interesting how, despite the randomness of the game, Jaeherys Blackfyre has many similarities with Maegor: a brutal conflict with the Faith, a trial by Seven and a rival pretender in the Westerlands.
Given how often Jaeherys and his father were threatened by Blackfyre claimants it it might be better to keep appointing westerosi loyalists as Lord Paramounts and give Blackfyre relatives titles in newly conquered lands in Essos instead. That way they'd have to deal with local revolts and neighbors there and thus had far less opportunities to challenge the crown.
If you want at least some stability in vassal kingdoms you really need to get a medium crown authority.
Down with the reach, the trident for the dragon scales
If you ever have s spare dragon egg, it’d be cool for the dragon scales to get one
Call the Dragon Dave. Solid name.
you should really stop giving Blackfyres lord paramouncies honestly
I'd call the dragon Egros since it means "sword" in high valyrian. It will fit prince Aerys' warrior spirit.
The intros to these episodes are so well done, absolutely fabulous work
I suggest knighting ur son hes got formidable
Name the dragon Death song,for when your son inherits the throne his sword and dragon shall sing a melody of death upon there enemies never seen before
Personally, I think that conquering the Summer Islands would be a more appropriate move than conquering across the Narrow Sea.
Previous kings of Westeros always made it a point to not meddle in the affair of the Free Cities, since their system and peoples are rather foreign, and they are also rather worthwhile trading partners to keep with the Seven Kingdoms. A feudal kingdom lording over merchant republics will not end well.
You'd also think that the Iron Bank and the Faceless Men would not appreciate Valyrian rulers trying to take over the Free Cities lol.
The Summer Islands, however, have no such relationship with Westeros, and are in the same hemisphere.
This the reason why i hesitate giving lord paramouncy on my own family, too risky and when you busy elsewhere suddenly a pop up your uncle just inherited more than half the realm, ambitious, and want to be king
I forgot trials of seven was a thing in this game
How are the Velaryon’s doing in this play through
i agree with other commentators about giving blackfryes paramouncies…it's dangerous and also cooler when there are other major houses around for RP
Conquering the old Triarchy lands of Tyrosh, Myr, & Lys seems the most fitting since the Blackfyres were exiled and sort of founded there and are possibly the last of the Nine Penny Kings dynasties so could stand a “claim” on all other Penny King land.
It makes sense that Jaehaerys would insist on fighting in the trial of seven because it could prove to the smallfolk that the Gods of the Seven favor him even if he was just excommunicated and temporarily deposed by the clergy.
Love the series and your other ones. If you want to get a little gamey, send Daemon’s western troops up beyond the wall to “investigate troubles”. They’ll die off from attrition for a year or two before you arrest him. The king is a crazy strategist and did learn from the previous northern rebels fighting wildlings
