(Well I missed the discussion, and as many people already said all that needed to be said I will keep this short and sweet.

Expanding, be it through conquest or diplomacy, is as hard as it should be for balancing issues. If not of the current difficulty the users from part one: Humble, Apollo, Karonor and I; would've already conquered our respective provinces and be trying to take the Imperial City. Thus the RP would've been ending already and new users like Billy even be able to be Blacklight or have a chance to 'win' the Ruby Throne.

As for the blandness of the NPC nation leaders. I have neither the time nor patience to make every NPC ruler have a unique backstory or personality. I only ever do so for a few of them, namely those that my nation interacts with. If you want them to be interesting then RP as them. Give them names and personalities, give them families and friends. That is what I did with rulers like Lord Thelen of Kynesgrove and Thane Igna of Amol.)

Both Eastmarch and the Pale were readying themselves for the war they would have to fight. The two Jarls were both determined to press their claims to Winterhold's lands, so it was only a matter of time before their armies met each other in battle.
