House Building Thread:

Looking at the Port in Out of Strife, Prosperity, I note that it has been completely changed. It now requires a Small Town, but can be built on a River as well as a Coastline. And the benefits are less than half of those listed in the core rules. And there is no synergy with having a Market Place. But things like Maesters and Mines do have synergy with the Marketplace.

Investing 15 Wealth Points on an improved Trading Inn would make it count as a Small Town for two Wealth Holdings. Each additional investment of 5 Wealth points would allow for two more Wealth holdings that needed a Small Town.

I was expecting new holdings, not new rules. So, now that we know that the rules change if we introduce Out of Strife, Prosperity, do we want to do that so that we can gain the new holdings too? Or do we remain with the core?

House Building Thread:

Just to bring it back up on the surface again, we still need to decide what the historical events actually mean. We have had a couple of suggestions from Gray, Purple, Gold, Silver, Orange, and me.

In summary:

Either the Ancestor fought the Hill Tribes or the First Men to gain his lands and titles.

The Mad Ancestor then lost a substantial portion of their military might as the land descended into lawlessness, perhaps because of revolt/rebellion/war/marriage.

And during Robert's Rebellion the House became what it is today. Perhaps gaining a Banner House from among the Hill Tribes, if you want to spend resources on that.
