== Rise of Nations ==
Mandate of Heaven test run

Basic guidelines:
Magnitude of starting nation = 3

Start with a savant of some sort

''Surrounding nations and leaders can be determined as necessary'' on an honor roll of d10
# Empty Land (maybe Magnitude 0 nation in effect)
# Magnitude 1 (No Savants/Sorcerors)
# Ditto With Savant
# Ditto with Sorceror
# Magnitude 2 (none)
# Ditto (Savant)
# Ditto (Sorceror)
# Magnitude 3 (None)
# Ditto (Sorceror)
# Ditto (Legitimate Sorceror)

''Nature of Domain'', roll d10:
:1-4 = Mortal 
:5-7 = Mostly Supernatural (Dragon Kings (1-2), Mountain Folk (3-4), Undead (5-10)) 
:8-10 = Supernatural (Fair Folk (1-4), Spirits(5-8), Elementals (9-10)

''Nature of Savant or Sorceror'', d10
:1-2: Heroic Mortal
:3-4: God-Blooded
:5-8: Dragon-Blood
:9-10: Lunar
:11: Solar B-)

For simplicity, each starting nation borders with (d10/2 round down) extra nations (plus the rival of course!)

Again, for simplicity, Spies are useless -> we each know the state of each and every nation as per traits showing here...

Set just after Great Contagion, in the east. Turn length will be one year, until a better length becomes apparent...

More adjudications to go here as necessary.

''A woman draped in crimson robes appears above every town and village of the area, declaring the Fair Folk beaten, and herself as Empress of Creation''

Listless, disenfranchised refugees drift into the remains of this Shogunate Dukedom over the course of the year. They bring tales of hardship and woe, but are grateful for the protection granted by the largess of Eight Iron Fist, a powerful God-Blooded knight, now advising the aged and listless Duke "Skyfire Hammer"...

Phase 1. Utilising the incoming population, the Duchy undergoes a ''Dragon Spreads Wings Expansion'' and the population gets restless as the inhabitants and newcomers adjust to each other...

Duchy : Limit: 5 WP: 6

Phase 2. Random event - ''Meticulous Actuary's Disbursement Rectification'' Cost: 1L Some of the Duchy's Ability to wage War is lost with the influx of refugees, but they bring with them an Awareness of the wider world. Move 1 dot from War to Awareness.

=== Worth Remembering ===
Actions that target the dominion itself are at -2 difficulty.

Year long turns apply -1 difficulty

Decade long turns apply -3 difficulty

Events can be any action that does not cost a willpower to activate. Any action, not just self-destructive ones. The dominion must meet the minimum rquirements for the action to proceed, but if they do not, the event does not take place. This is why spies are handy dandy. They would let you have more of a clue as to the stats of the enemy dominion, so that when you chose the event for it, you would have more of an idea of what they were capable of, and thus less likely to choose an event that is impossible to perform.
