Ever thought of logging each turn in the OP. Something like this.

[Thank you for your welcome ! And for give this game a try ^^
We will cross through first turns fairy quickly, as things will get interesting once you start to create you own events]

-------------------------------------------------------------

Year 1010 AD

Year 1004 : The chief of the Khusil Chiefdom try to negotiate taxes for safe travel on his land for gold and copper caravans from Wania Kingdom, who are following the path of the river.
3 v 3 = Draw
Khusil chieftain put some pressure, but the Wania king refuses to give in. The chieftain chose to not insist further, and both parties left unsatisfied.

Year 1006 : War ! Infuriated by the snacking of their borders by the Vidunese Kingdom, the Logura Federation declares war and gathers its troops.
5 v 5 = Draw (again!)
Initially pushing deep into vidunese territory, the loguran forces are progressively rebuffed on their side of the frontier. After the fall of a loguran coastal city, a precarious truce is negotiated. Both states tend to their wounds for the second phase of the war.

Year 1007 : A disagreement between the elvish queen of the Ilyanoris realm and a vassal lord degenerates into an armed conflict. The rebellious faction, called Sen Oldis, quickly launches a full-blown attack on Ilyanoris capital.
3 v 1 = Ilyanoris (pyrrhic) victory
After a brutal slaughter which leaves the capital devastated, the loyalists forces pushes back the rebels. When the ilyanorians soldiers finally enters rebels' city, they found it empty.
The surviving rebels had fled out of the ilyanorian territory, south-west of it. They start engaging a low-intensity war with their former overlord.

Year 1009 : The Qasian Principality try to establish a trade road between them and the Kewith Serene Republic, intending to obtain their own share of wealth from the slave trade.
3 v 5 = Kewith victory
Kewiths shipping slavers manage however to sabotage the project, bribing enough qasians officials to ultimately bury the entire project.

Year 1020 AD

Year 1011 : In an unprecedented move, the more clever than usual goblin chief of the Goldtooth Horde offers to its neighboring Blood Claw Horde a trade deal, to make peace between the two goblin clan who bicker with each other since centuries, when they do not raid human towns.
6 v 3+1 = Goldtooth victory
Thanks to their steady raids on gold mines of the Wania Kingdom, the Goldtooth Horde definitely get the upper hand in the trade balance with their fellow goblins. An effective first step in the goblins' union on the peninsula.

Year 1014 : A little revolution happens in the Vedinar Federation. A blacksmith called Somos discovers a new method to shape bronze, making it more strong and less breakable. His apprentices soon try to spread the "somosian method" in the region.
2 v 2 = Draw (are those dice loaded ?)
However, cults of the metal gods, patron saints of the blacksmiths, exerce a lobbying to keep traditional practices. The somosian technique has hard time to pass over vedinar's borders.

Year 1018 : Disappointed by the Kewith Serene Republic, the Qasian Principality turns its eyes towards the Kharid Kingdom, and try to have some benefits through diplomatic means.
5 v 1 = Great Qasian success
With the support of talented negotiators, they managed to get as a dowry for diplomatic marriage a sizable piece of Kharid's territory.

It would be much appreciated for new comers when the game becomes more complicated.

I will be blessing Goldtooth tribe

Yeah sure, if it help you !

Nice work on the map, by the way.

Just to clear any ambiguity if needed : the bless alone does not create event. The events on the "normal turns" are (mostly) random, and then randomly distributed to states. Though it is perfectly fine to bless or curse the same country each turn to trigger an event once the state is powerful / weakened enough.
Also, I will let it roll for few turns to see how it goes, but I fear that 10 in power pool to trigger an event is a too tall barrier. I may reduce it to 5 or 6, but again, we will see first. This first game is here to test after all.

Thanks ! I use multi layers on Gimp, it makes it quite easier to modify the map, although it tends to struggle if I create too many text boxes in one session.

Year 1030

Year 1022 : After a decade of recovery, the Logura Federation finally break the truce with the Vidunese Kingdom to get its coastal city back, and more if they get on.
1 v 6 = Smashing Vidunese victory
Turns out they do not. Cornered between the vidunese troops and the walls of the city they were besieging, Loguran army is all but slaughtered, aside the totality of the federation's representatives.
In disarray, many loguran cities swear fealty to the approaching vidunese army, or proclaim independence only to be conquered a few months later. By 1024, the Logura Federation is no more.

Year 1024 : After decades of interfamilies marriages and diplomatic work with chiefs of the Rodol Nomad Clan, the duke of Baewen Duchy finally offers a peaceful integration into his realm, one of the most ancient state of the broken kingdom of Hyrun.
3 v 5 = Rodol refusal
The nomads are however still attached to their freedom, and declined the offer. Not so bad, considering the duke's envoy came back with all his limbs.
In a gesture of appeasement, the duke give to the nomads his tundra lands, which are scarcely populated and quite worthless anyway.

Year 1027 : Seeking guarantees in the wake of vidunese's conquest, the duke of Dalguri Duchy manages to marry his daughter to the son and heir of the Vidunese Kingdom, to the great displeasure of the rival kingdom of Divusene.
3 v 6 = Marriage in favor of Visunese (which apparently is full of pep this turn)
Dalguri's duke will later kick himself for this, as the marriage did not kept the duchy's independence, but instead firmly attached it inside Visunese's sphere of influence. Officially an ally, the duke is more like a vassal... To his king.

Year 1030 : War has broken out between Larinise and Briven kingdoms, for the control of the old Hyrun's capital, Selentia ! Both kings immediatly gather soldiers, but larinise ones cross the border first.
4 v 1 = Larinise first victory
Trapping the Briven's forces, the larinise army manages to deal a crippling blow to their foes a few days of walk from the capital. The Briven king is able despite this to get back to his capital.
The siege of Selentia begins.

I'm aware, don't worry. I just don't like saying stuff without some degree of flavor text.

In other news, continue to raise the fortunes of the Grodel Republic, that their glories might shine through the seas and skies.

Year 1031 : In reaction to the invasion of Briven Kingdom by the Larinise Kingdom, the Tirodal Principality launches an attack to stop the larinise advance.

Year 1032 : Selentia, capital of Briven Kingdom, finally fall. The army of the Larinise Kingdom prepare for conquest of Briven hinterland.

Having already lost thousands of soldiers, the Briven king accepts the treaty's advantageous terms, as do Tirodal Prince to keep the power balance in the region.

Year 1035 : Exceeded by the slavers of the Poris Federation, the Black Leaf Tribe retaliates in a raid on the bordering villages of the federation.
1+1 v 3 = Minor Poris victory
Despite the surprise, Poris' superior military saves the day and pushes back the Black Leaf tribesmen back to their forests. But did the Poris well received the tribals' message ?

Year 1037 : Feeling threatened by the rise of Vidunese Kingdom, the Vedinar Federation moves its pawns and send troops to Ridhel Chiefdom.
6 v 2 = Major Vedinar victory
After a brief battle won by Vedinars, the Ridhel chief chose to surrender. Vedinar council decide to seize part of ridhelian territory and making the chiefdom their tributary.

Year 1039 : To enforce strengthen its forces between the Viduneses and the Vedinars, the Divusene Kingdom try to take control of Shadars military orders on its territory.
1 v 4 = Shadars refusal
This go quite terribly, as the orders shouted to blasphemy. Even worse, those who did not moved abroad combined forces as the Shredded Orderto depose the divusene king. The considerable means of the orders are used to force him if necessary.
