Assalamualaikum,
Malam ni aku terasa nak sambung review mod Realm of Thrones. If dalam part 1 aku review mod tu in perspective of Fredrik Reyne of Castamere, this time aku nak review feature "dragon" in this mod and to do that, I need a new character, a Valyrian character.
Ingat tak gambar from my last entry pasal mod ni? Yeah, that's dragon and I will show you why this beast memang patut digeruni. Huhu
Nampak tak shadow tu. Huhu. Bukan setakat boleh ride the dragon, but able to strike fear to the enemy with their dreaded dragonflame. Feature ni memang cool, cuma aku rasa naga ni overpowered. Korang bayangkanlah, naga sekor pun boleh hancurkan satu army of 150-250 men and sebagai seorang player yang suka sword-fighting dan deploy battle tactics, I found this extremely boring to play sebenarnya.
Why boring? Because we can just circle the enemy and unleash hell. Of course, dragon pun boleh received damages jugak tapi its very minimal, unless during siege battle where they might get killed/injured by ballistae fire.
Rasain lo!
Dari segi control memang ada lacking sikit but understandable since mod ni pun masih lagi WIP. Jangan ghairah sangat tekan "F" untuk dragonflame attack, sebab button "F" tu pun digunakan untuk dismount jugak. Karang sedap tengah fly tetiba jatuh pulak, macam dalam gambar ni. Haha
The aftermath. Who need an army when you can ride the dragon and destroy one. Haha. Okaylah, kalau ikutkan tu je lah review pasal naga ni. Kat bawah ni adalah short story aku create sikit. Jadi lah buat raso-raso. Huhu
This is Hesh. Located at the south-eastern part of Meereen, the castle served as the administrative center for a few villages, with Akiser and Kamshar are the largest and most populous. It was taken during Daenerys' liberation of Slaver Bay and its governorship was awarded to one of her companion, Aurelian Redfyre. Yes that's our hero for this entry.
House Redfyre was established after the death of King Aegon IV Targaryen on 184AC. Just like the other nine bastards of Aegon, Aurion "The Redfyre" Waters was legitimized by the king on his deathbed and allowed to form a cadet branch of House Targaryen. Aurion named it House Redfyre, by taking his nickname which originally derived from his reddish Valyrian sword. Instead of supporting Daemon I Blackfyre, the eldest of the bastard in his claim of the Iron Throne. Aurion remain loyal with the late-king's trueborn and heir, Daeron II Targaryen and fought for him during the First Blackfyre Rebelion. The Redfyre continue to serve their liege-lord until the penultimate Battle of Trident where Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was slain by Lord Robert Baratheon on 283AC. Survivor of the royal family, Prince Viserys III and Princess Daenerys I were being smuggled by Ser Willem Darry to Essos, together with a six-years old Aurelian. The trio stick together during the hard-time, vowed to protect each other and return to Westeros someday.
303AC - A twenty-five years old Aurelian now served as one of Daenerys' field commander and participated in her campaign against the factions of Slaver's Bay. By this time, Viserys has already dead. Aurelian is in a great despair since Viserys was his close friend, and even treated him like a brother. Nevertheless, Viserys reckless act cost him dearly, executed by Daenerys' Dothraki husband and warlord, Khal Drogo.
Campaign against the Astapor saw Aurelian rise to fame where his swift manoeuvre paved way for Daenerys' main army to capture the city without bloodshed. Commanding the Unsullied legion, Aurelian brilliantly tricked Astapor's marshal Razdal mo Eraz and defeated him near Hoqqa.
Daenerys moved her army towards Yunkai and siege the city. Here, she managed to convinced Daario Naharis to defect and acquired the service of the famous mercenary army; the Second Sons. As her forces swollen and strengthen day by day, the Targaryen queen gained massive popularity as liberator and continue to advance against her final and the strongest foe, the Meereen.
Aurelian and his Unsullied legion marched against Oznak zo Pahl. Heavily outnumbered three to one, the Valyrian commander demonstrated an impressive leadership to hold the line against countless wave of assault until the Targaryen's reinforcement led by Ser Jorah Mormont and Daario Naharis arrived to strike the Meereen from both flanks. The Battle of Meereen was the bloodiest engagement during Daenerys' liberation of Slaver's Bay campaign.
With the fall of Meereen, Daenerys sent her commanders to neutralize the region and to decimate the Slaver once for all. Hesh was captured by Aurelian Redfyre, Borash by Ser Jorah Mormont, Lamesa capitulated after a brief siege commanded by Ser Barristan Selmy and finally the market-town of Lhazosh seized by the Seconds Sons, thus ended the two years of relentless conquest.

During this period, Daenerys' three dragons namely, Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal has grown enormously. Aurelian, due to his Valyrian blood, successfully bonded with Viserion and claimed the dragon while Daenerys retain control of her other two dragons.
Despite interest from a few clans of the realm, Aurelian is committed with his duty and unwilling to marry. However, there's a wild rumor where he and the Queen are secretly in an intimate relationship, perhaps due to their shared Valyrian bloodline. Although the Redfyre is a cadet house of the Targaryen, both of them are from the same blood of the late Aegon IV and it's a known Valyrian custom of intra-marriage to preserve their unique traits of being the dragontamer.
306AC - Aegon VI Targaryen entered Astapor region with 30,000 troops with prime intenion to push her 'aunt', Daenerys out from the Slaver's Bay. Having secured alliances from Volantis and mercenary army from Yi-Ti, Aegon is highly confident with his massive forces and planned for a quick campaign. Little did he know that Daenerys has three full-grown dragons at her disposal, despite the army numerical inferiority.
A solo reconnaissance routine by Aurelian managed to track Aegon's vanguard consisted of the Yi-Tish' army under the command of Lo Bu. Unwilling to waste his element of surprise, he decided to strike only with Viserion. Furthermore, his army is 50 miles away and might not be able to arrive on time.
In this battle, Aurelian managed to killed Lo Bu in an intense duel between the two skilled commander. The Yi-Tish forces was defeated and later, surrendered. In a show of force by using Viserion, Aurelian managed to forced Lo Bu's second-in-command to expose the current location and target of the other Aegon's forces.
Upon receiving raven from Aurelian on the enemy's whereabout, Daenerys herself rode Drogon, and spearhead a massive Dothraki's cavalry charge which scattered the Volantenes. To the south, land forces under Ser Jorah and Ser Barristan occupied a high ground near River Usek to put a complete stop to Lord Connington's army at Ghozal. Fighting was intense between the two Targaryen's factions, but it was Daenerys' who gained the upper hand, thanks to her dragons and pool of brilliant generals.
The second month saw Daenerys planning to advance into Aegon's land. Aurelian's forces are attacking from the north with his main objective, the frontier-town of Tolos. While remain merciful to the civilians during his march to Tolos, the enemy's army however suffered the opposite. Soldiers who refused to surrender will be executed with Viserion's dragonflame. Upon reaching Tolos, Aurelian quickly lay siege of the town and commenced the attack with his ground forces.
Unable to secure the gate in his first attempt, Aurelian rode Viserion and launch a thunderous attack against the defender which allow the Unsullied to scale the wall and open the town's gate. A brutal urban combat happened between the two combatants which saw the immediate collapsed of the defending army.
Aurelian, looking on the destruction upon capturing the city of Tolos signaled the beginning of Daenerys' counter-offensive campaign against her nephew. Having lost half of his forces in the opening two months of campaign, Aegon lost the will to fight. His lands were razed by Daenerys' vicious tactics. His people are suffering and blamed him for the chaos he brought into. Aegon's capital, Mantarys revolted and seized by the Old Ghiscari's noble. Abandoned by his ally, Aegon fled west and crossed the Narrow Sea to seek protection from the Dornish' prince, Doran Martell.
Cerita aku habis sampai sini je, tak dan nak main banyak pulak analisis nak kena buat minggu ni kat office. Huhu
Baiklah, that's the end untuk my second review untuk ROT. To be honest aku memang layan mod ni je sekarang. Tapi tu lah sekarang ni pun main game time weekend je, itupun dalam sejam dua. Penat mat, kerja banyak sekarang. Huh
