[Deleted] Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 .... Plus the influence of Varys and Tyrion Lannister, plus possibly a sympathetic ear in Dorne, how, exactly, does any force the Iron Throne can muster stand a chance against that? 3 dragons alone can pretty much lay waste to a pretty good sized force, add in the other factors and it just seems completely unfair. If Dany ever sails west and gets enough ships to move her whole force, how is there going to be any suspense about what the outcome will be? It would be like the New England Patriots playing your local high school team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikethesebooks Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That isn't really what he asked. I agree she would win easily. To the others' comments (no pun intended), she probably wont have much of a fight because the rest of Westeros will already be fighting the WWs and won't care about her maybe?

Ser Lepus Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well, if Dany waits long enough, there won't be anybody to oppose her at all. The ten years long winter will kill anybody who survives the civil wars and rebellions and religious wars... The Dorthraki only need grass to feed their horses and survive, so the could sustain themselves in Westeros long before the surviving Westerosi get their the first summer crop. She would be occupying a near-empty continent. But yes, as @Greg B said, the real challenge would be the Others, and the bajizillion undead that they would raise out of the starved and frozen to death population of Westeros; Dany has dragons, but they can't be everywhere at the same time, and her magic-fearing Dothraki will soil their breeches when they are confronted by zombies...

Trickrs Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Realistically? Mass volleys of arrows and scorpions can take care of Dragons (like Dance of Dragons showed), Dany's dragons being whelps compared to the Great dragons of the Targs of old. Dothrakis are dumbasses, a numerous shieldwall with pikes takes care of them, also how are you supposed to transport 100,000 horses by sea? A bunch of dudes with knifes can take care of the Unsullied. De facto? Dany'll win if the plots demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, an united Westeros at its peak could fight Dany's army, but both in the show and in the TV series Westeros in in tatters, divided, starved, and at the door of a deadly winter. They are in no shape to withstand a serious invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden7 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't see her getting all her armies over, well in the books anyway. In the books though there could be a big war in Slaver's Bay and then she has to deal with Faegon. Dany could easily lose over half her army there easily while I don't know how they're going to mirror than in the show with limited time. I don't think it matters anyway, by the time Dany sails over to King's Landing she'll find it ruins or in complete chaos, the real war is up north.

Boarsbane Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It would be nearly impossible for her to transport 100k dothraki across the sea (I admit given this show's track record that might not be an issue and they could all 100k just end up teleported there or something stupid.) Also the Dothraki and Unsullied do not match up well against the Westerosi knights and soldiers, even the show sort of established that in season 1 when a decent knight killed one of the best Dothraki fighters with relative ease. The dragons are powerful but not fully grown and so not nearly as unstoppable as say the ones used in the original conquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourneblade Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Dany is going to arrive in Westeros where the Wall has fallen, Kings Landing has been destroyed by Wildfire ordered by Cersei, and with the factions all fighting each other over what is left. Jon will have rallied the North only to be in constant retreat lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stangler Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Dany still has some business with the slavers and she would need a big army to conquer Westeros. I also don't see all of the Dothraki getting on boats. Only some of them would. The Dothraki are brutal in the open field but her army would have to conquer castles and she would want to keep the castles so she wouldn't want to be burning them to the ground. In the end I think her army is really going to be to fight the white walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Friendzone Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Iron Throne will be easy to win for Daeny at this rate but important is what lies to the North. Well, even such an army might not be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Yorick Ampersand Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Dothraki only know how to fight in a vast plain where they can ride their horses against non-heavyarmor opponents. Dothraki can't siege a fort and can't fight a full plated knight. Their curved swords are useless against plate armor. She can't control her dragons, not even one, that makes them useless and dangerous to her own soldiers. She needs an experienced commander with a tactical mind to plan and organize the attacks. 10k Unsullied are pwned by Harpies with knives...

Nothing in Westeros can stand up to the power Dany is amassing - that's the point - it's a Song of Ice and Fire, not a Song of the armies of Westeros. Even the show title - A Game of Thrones - Dany is 50% of the end game, or the destruction of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Guy Garlan Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 At this point we could safely remove the Unsullied from the "threats" column, as they've proven to be about as useful as nipples on a breastplate (and viceversa). They're pretty much the asoiaf version of the Banana Guards from Adventure Time, or that one wafer called James who kept dying on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
