ANNO DOMINI 2223
WEEK ONE | JANUARY
NEW EVENTSA White Winter
In times long gone, a blanket of snow over the land was seen as a blessing, a sign of a holiday season filled with joy and cheer. That was a long time ago, now all snow brings is a sense of dread. Humans don't hibernate, so the first sign of snow means the first sign of grabbing whatever food you can and hunkering down, anywhere from 3 to 5 months. Sometimes, people don't make it, and end up doing the unthinkable...
Not to mention the floods that occur afterwards.
This event slows population growth and troop movements by half, and outright ceases crop production. Poor management can lead to widespread starvation.
This Events Ends in the First Week of March

Desperate Measures
With food supplies having run low, or even out, Raiders are getting more and more bold, perhaps even desperate. Instead of the usual method of keeping out of prying eyes unless they plan something, activity by raiders has ramped up to nearly a sighting a day by neighboring locals. If something isn't done, things could get violent...
This event increases the chance of an NPC Raider attack on neighboring factions by 75%. Lack of attention can lead to raiders running rampant through your territory.
Player Bandit Clans will not gain any population until the end of the event, unless the month has had a successful raid.

Doomsday Prophet
To many, what some soapbox preachers do is fearmonger and drive already pitiful morale further and further into the ground. A good majority of them simply don't have a building to hold mass in. Every so often though, a crazed madman with a strong case of paranoia takes to the square's little wooden box and starts preaching about how the end is nigh, that some figment of evil is going to start yanking the souls out of people, and how Heaven and Hell no longer exist, and have merged with our own mother Earth...
But one has to wonder if they have a point.
The chance of public dissent in a player faction held county increases, until the source of the event is removed.
