As it stands the budget is fine. 60 million is a decent budget, plus the tax breaks and government grants they get for filming in Northern Ireland are huge, which means they can film a lot more while it costs a lot less than other shows. And it shows. Look at episode 9, apart from the lack of battle, it looks epic. The Twins, the battlefield full of dead, the crowd at Ned's execution, all looks grand. No, budget is not an excuse, especially when on The Borgias on Showtime, a show with a similar budget, with a similar number of episodes per season, you get scenes like this.
This is far as I'm concerned was utterly a creative decision, where budget did not come into it.
