History Awesome / CrusaderKingsIIGameOfThronesMod

* The random storylines created through the game can be even more awesome than the vanilla game. This troper saw [[TheCutie Tommen]] [[PuppetKing Baratheon]] become a [[FourStarBadass military genius, personally lead his army,]] and then kill [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu the leader of the White Walkers]] before [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu sending an insulting letter to Daenerys who at that point had conquered most of Western Essos with her dragons.]]
** Alternating the existing canon result in some very awesome [[AlternateUniverse alternate universes]]. This troper decided to play as Tywin Lannister and back Robert into power. This saw Jaime be released from the Kingsguard and eloping with Cersei (averting the entire civil war of the series), the Tyrells going extinct in the male line and losing the Reach, and Tywin finding [[CoolSword Brightroar, House Lannister's Valyrian Steel sword]], and a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent fucking dragon]], earning the name [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lord Tywin the Dragon.]]

* The DreamTeam and BattleCouple that is [[spoiler: Young Griff and Dany]] in ''A Feast For Crows'' bookmark. The Golden Company, the Unsullied, the courts of both characters and the lords of the Stormlands fighting to install the husband on the Iron Throne? Check. Said husband having good stats? Check. Oh, and the couple can ''both'' become [[spoiler: dragonriders]]. Throw in Dornish support, and the Iron Throne is within reach.

*** [[spoiler: Dany returns to her father's kingdom as Queen Consort and as a dragon rider in the vein of her ancestors]].

*** Both [[spoiler: Jon Connington]] and Ser Barristan Selmy fulfill their lifelong dreams of serving their lords.
* To add to the above, the kingmakers that are [[spoiler: the Riverlands and the Vale]]. Canon!Littlefinger would be proud.

* You can make Robb Stark ''win'' the War of the Five Kings against Joffrey, earning justice for Ned and the North, and averting [[spoiler:the tragedy of the Red Wedding.]]

** House Greystark, former vassals and cadet branch of the Starks who were wiped out during a rebellion. Either become TheAtoner, rebuild your lands in the North as loyal vassals; war with the Manderleys for your former holdings; [[HistoryRepeats Rebel once more against the Starks]] [[TheStarscream to become King in the North.]] [[spoiler: Or in the aftermath of the Red Wedding, with the Starks publicly extinct and the Boltons in power, lead a rebellion to take back the North and put it under a Stark descendant once more.]]

* The Ironborn claim that their god (and, by extension, themselves) rule all the oceans west of Westeros. What better way to prove that than by [[spoiler:defeating the Sunset Invasion or the Brindleman Invasion, without the aid of the greenlanders and being hailed as their saviors]]?
* Leading the Forresters to victory against the Whitehills. [[spoiler: This is extra awesome because the Forresters lost the war and their holding in canon]]. Not only will they have to make do with an army half the size of the Whitehills', but since the Forresters is officially a vassal of House Bolton, there's a high chance Stannis' army will destroy the Forresters long before they have a chance to take out the Whitehills. Fortunately, that can also work in the player's favor because the same can happen to House Whitehill. [[LuckBasedMission Success mostly depends on whom Stannis attacks first]], but if the player manages to pull off a victory against the Whitehills while still remaining free from Stannis, it can be a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. With the blood feud over, it's time to plot revenge against the Boltons...

* You can make Robb Stark ''win'' the War of Five Kings against Joffrey, earning justice for Ned and the North, and averting [[spoiler:the tragedy of the Red Wedding.]]

** Creating House Silvermane [Lannister Cadet, with reversed Stark colors] and sabotaging Tywin and Cersei in the War of Five Kings.

** House Greystark, former vassals and cadet branch of the Starks who were wiped out during a rebellion. Either become TheAtoner, rebuild your lands in the north as loyal vassals; war with the Manderleys for your former holdings; [[HistoryRepeats Rebel once more against the Starks]] [[TheStarscream to become King of the North.]] [[spoiler: Or in the aftermath of the Red Wedding, with the Starks publicly extinct and the Boltons in power, lead a rebellion to take back the North and put it under a Stark descendant once more.]]

** House Brightstone and Shell, Houses of the Eyrie who were similarly wiped out during the Andal invasion. Take back their lands, and wipe out House Corbray while you're at it

* If you play as Robert Baratheon during the ''Robert's Rebellion'' bookmark, then you have a good chance of saving and later marrying Lyanna. This means that King Robert [[AvertedTrope never]] [[BadassDecay lets himself go]], the Lannisters never work their way into King's Landing via marriage, and the civil war that takes up most of the series [[PreventTheWar never happens]]. And to top it all off, Daenerys and Baratheon are usually never born in this bookmark. Westeros can expect a golden age of peace and stability, and Robert can expect to grow old and die peacefully in the arms of the woman he loves.

* It is rare, but if you start in the Clash of Kings bookmark and play long enough than you might get a chance to arrange a marriage between Tyrion and Daenarys. Both characters are awesome. Also, their children will all be dragon riders.

*** [[spoiler: Dany returns to her father's kingdom as Queen Consort and as a dragonrider in the vein of her ancestors]].

* Speaking of Littlefinger, you can totally place him on the Iron Throne. In the Robert's Rebellion bookmark, he is only sixteen years old and lord of a single dinky county. With the right combination of skill and luck, you work your way higher and higher up the latter. Littlefinger was born ruling a flint tower, but he died ruling a continent.

* In the ''A Clash of Kings'' bookmark, you can win as Joffrey. This in and of itself is not awesome, [[SelfImposedChallenge outside of the skill required to pull it off]]. But do you know what is awesome? The idea of Robb, Jon, Stannis (or Renly), Aegon of Essos (he comes in later), and Hoster Tully ALL being on [[TheWallAroundtheWorld the Wall]], wearing black and fighting against Others and Wildlings. It also helps that all of these characters look badass in [[BlackCloak black]].

** [[TheMagicComesBack Bringing back the dragons]] in a bookmark where they've all died out. It's not easy at all, as it requires you to first find a dragon egg (itself a rather rare event), then successfully hatch it (which requires dragon lore from various locations to increase your chances of success), but these difficulties make success all the sweeter. Not only have you brought a legendary species back from extinction, but ''you have a dragon'', and in all likelihood you are at this point the ''only'' person with a dragon ''on the entire planet''.

** Alternating the existing canon result in some very awesome AUs. This troper decided to play as Tywin Lannister and back Robert into power. This saw Jaime be released from the Kingsguard and eloping with Cersei (averting the entire civil war of the series), the Tyrells going extinct in the male line and losing the Reach, and Tywin finding [[CoolSword Brightroar, House Lannister's Valyrian Steel sword]], and a [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons fucking dragon]], earning the name [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lord Tywin the Dragon.]]

** Creating House Dreadwolf [Stark Cadet] and throwing Northern honor aside to protect your cousins in the main house from their own selflessness, becoming a house of [[AntiVillain Anti-Villains]].

* Speaking of Littlefinger, you can totally place him on the Iron Throne. In the Roberts Rebellion bookmark, he is only sixteen years old and lord of a single dinky county. With the right combination of skill and luck, you work your way higher and higher up the latter. Littlefinger was born ruling a flint tower, but he died ruling a continent.

** Or if you take the Iron Throne as Renly or Stannis, you can banish or imprison the entire Kingsguard as well as all Lannisters in King's Landing. Imagine Tyrion Lannister guarding The Wall with his nephew Tommen, his brother Jaime, and his father Tywin. The Lannister Brothers would be badass Night's Watchmen. Also, Joffrey would lose his crown and his power, he would be shunned and humiliated for being a child born of incest, and if you send him to the wall he will probably freeze to death or get eaten by Others.

* Leading the Forresters to victory against the Whitehills. [[spoiler: This is extra awesome because the Forresters lost the war and their holding in canon]]. The player will have to make due with an army half the size of the Whitehills'. Not only that, but since the Forresters is officially an vassal of House Bolton, there's a high chance Stannis and his men will attack the player long before they have a chance to take out the Whitehill. Fortunately, that can also work in the player's favor because Stannis will also attack the Whitehill. [[LuckBasedMission Success mostly depends on luck]], but if the player manages to pull of a victory against the Whitehills while still remaining free from Stannis, it can be a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. With the blood feud over, it's time to plot revenge against the Bolton...
* Using the House Customizer, it's possible to create [[MemeticMutation Ser Twenty of House Goodmen]], with extremely high martial stat.
