Fire And Ice Overhaul
With hundreds of characters, swordplay and sorcery, personal drama, and political intrigue, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is fantastic source material for strategy games and RPGs.

Minecraft—WesteroscraftWesteroscraft is a Minecraft server with its own custom launcher and mod suite. While it someday hopes to become an open world MMORPG, it's currently in build mode, creating Westeros (and someday Essos) in blocks. And it looks spectacular so far. Anyone can join and explore the world but if you want to help build it,. Civilization 5—A Mod of Ice and FireThis is —it adds a sprawling map of Westeros and lets you play as a number of civs and leaders, like Robb Stark in The North, Stannis Baratheon in The Stormlands, Daenerys, of course, and even Mance Rayder of the Free Folk. Each civ has a unique trait plus special units and buildings.
Well-known industry insider will be outing a remaster for eighth-gen consoles.

Martin's lore. Ages of Empires 2: HD Edition—War of the Five KingsThis scenario for Age of Empires 2 recreates the devastating civil war in Westeros following the death of King Robert.
