RISK OF THRONES: FIRE AND ICE
After all, a few seasons back a wise man said "there's more to the world than just Westeros".
SCENARIO: Classic Cities
Each city plus any surrounding land or naval territories makes up a continent. Factory bonus on the city equal to the number of territories that border the city. Ruins are still worth nothing.Additional non-factory bonus for control of region/continent PLUS its castle, if there is one. Equal to the number of territories in the continent.
This map follows the same principles as the earlier Risk of Thrones maps, with a few new additions. What's the point of risk in Westeros if you can't have dragons and white walkers, after all? So, drawing on the mythology of the show and novels, this version introduces a magical "tech tree" with four categories, each with three levels with different advantages. Each power track is accessed from a triangular territory of magical significance, marked with the particular symbol for that power. If you lose the power site, you lose your powers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The power sites count as capitals, so taking one of these routes exposes one to SUDDEN DEATH. Just ask Stannis. Each level carries a penalty to "in-hand" units each turn - you can't have blood magic without making a sacrifice, after all.
The Others (or White Walkers): Access from Heart of Winter (snowflake symbol) - Level I (Wights): +3 factory on Heart of Winter
- Level II (Winter is Coming): autocapture all territories north of the Wall, artillery attack anywhere in the North (from the Wall to the Neck), additional +2 on Heart of Winter

Continent
Regions: You need to control an entire region (thick borders) AND its castle to get a continent bonus, which accrues to the castle factory-style. You do not need to control all cities. Bonus is equal to the number of countryside territories present.Islands: For those island regions that don't have a castle territory, you must control each territory AND all cities to get the bonus, which is awarded "in-hand".Cities and castles: Control the city or castle and all surrounding territories for a bonus equal to the number of surrounding territories, awarded factory-style to the city in question.
