Hopefully this will all make Volantis a more unique merchant republic to play!Īfter the Doom of Valyria and before Aegon Targaryen invaded Westeros, the nobles of Volantis tried to establish a new Valyrian Freehold themselves, conquering Myr and Lys before attacking Tyrosh, upon which Aegon came upon his Dragon to oppose them. To balance this Elephant pacifism Elephant patricians can much more easily sieze trade posts from non-Elephant patrticians using party support. the Elephant party expects Elephant Triarchs to veto wars, the party members will be unhappy and their re-election will become less likely. The junior Triarchs, elected yearly, have a few powers they can wield against the senior Triarch, including veto of wars of aggression and appointments to the council:īut if a Triarch doesnt toe the party line, e.g. Any Valyrian party member of the republic can stand for Triarch:Īt the moment the head Triarch, the ruler of the republic, rules for life (something which we are hoping will become moddable in the next patch so they to are elected yearly). Of course the game engine only allows for one ruler who directs foreign policy and the like, but we have introduced an election system whereby two junior Triarchs are elected each year:Īny landholder of the republic chooses a political party: Either the Elephants, the party of merchants, or the Tigers, the party of the warriors. Volantis is ruled by three Triarchs with equal power that are elected in yearly elections. The Free City of Volantis has a unique system of Governance which we are trying to replicate in the mod.
If you have a weak heir your realm will fracture with all higher titles being destroyed, but of course you can try and rebuild your pirate realm if this happens. They have mechanics very similar to that of the Wildlings, in that they have a free invasion casus belli and a philosophy of only following strong rulers. The regions of the Stepstones and the Basilisk islands shall be inhabited by pirates! Aurane Waters shall be a playable pirate in A Feast for Crows:Īs you can see pirates have their own piracy religion which both allows them to raid provinces and negotiate rivers.
So hopefully a December release! In the meantime here is some things we have been working on: This will be after Sons of Abraham has been released so we can take advantage of any features we can use for the mod. But rest assured we are still going, we have decided on a vague plan to make our next release an Essos one. Essos information has been scarce these past few months, the reason being a lot of us have been busy in that time and progress has slowed.
