[QUOTE="Cake Mage, post: 346271, member: 2707"] You see I started this game with two countries in a "cold war" so to speak. I have the Human Kingdom, which rules over the elves on the continent going to war against the Dwarves's country. Now for the life of me I can't think of any reason good enough why they are going to war. It's been about 6-7 game sessions now and I even had the Dwarves invade and take over a city of the Human's. It was resolved through "rigorous negotiations", as I told the PC's, but I still don't know why they are at war. Can you guys, my guys, my friends and peers, come up with something to help me out? Neither country is evil or anything, but I kind of need something political. The Human's Kingdom has a king and also has like a democracy, much like the US's Democracy but where the president is there is a King and the king is always a relative, born in to power. So no voting for the king, but the people vote for the diplomats and such. The Kind is basically a good guy but his political power is being slowly drained away by the not so good diplomats. So I kind of want it to be the diplomats fault as to why they are a war. The Dwarves, I don't know what I'm going to with them. I haven't thought too much about how there government is run or anything so its all freeform here. I think though that they should have representatives for all there clans much like the mountain dwarves of Krynn in the Dragonlance series. Please, Please, Please help me out pr else this cool-idea-for-a- game-of-mine will never work. [/QUOTE]
