Robert's Kingdom vs. White Walkers

[Erkan12]

Assume that Jon Arryn never poisoned due to LF and Lysa, and thus Rober never came to Winterfell and Lannister-Stark conflict never happened. Robert is still alive, with Ned and Jon are helping him. Theon is still with Ned Stark, Stannis and Renly are still loyal to their big brother, Tywin and the Lannisters are still with them. Even Dorne or Greyjoys could help them in the coming war.

 

Would they be a better situation then the current one ? They will have a much greater army , like 250.000 strong at least or even more, considering the Westerlands, Reach, Dorne, Riverlands, Westerlands, Vale and the North or even the Iron Islands will join the war, Tyrells would have 70.000 at least, Lannisters would've 40.000, Vale would have 30.000, North 30.000 , Dorne 20.000, Riverlands 30.000 , Stormlands 30.000. Plus Melissandre can help them with her magic. Though not sure how Robert would think about her.

 

Or having 2 Dragons is simply better than this great army ? But then, they are struggling with each other, and Cersei is still plotting against the Targaryen-Stark alliance right now.

 

What do you think ?

They would still have to cope with the Dany invasion. And if Varys is a Targ supporter (like in books), he would try to destabilise the realm to make Danys overtaking easier.

 

But if we remove Dany aswell (and Viserys).

Then I guess that Roberts Kingdom would have a better chance. They would have had more of the crucial weapons at hand and larger armies.

Dragons can die.

If Robert doesn't travel to Winterfell, then Bran doesn't get pushed from the tower window and potentially doesn't become the 3ER. We don't yet know the full extent of Bran's involvement in the great war, but it seems like it'll be pretty significant - for better or worse.

Another thing to consider besides army numbers is the use of wildfire, which seems like it should be an extremely effective weapon against wights. There would be more of it available if it hadn't been used at the Battle of Blackwater or in the destruction of the Sept of Baelor.
