Territory System

This might be a bit resource intensive, and I'm not sure if there's something like this already in the system that I haven't seen, but here it goes: Making certain "Places of Interest" in the territories of countries that other villages can attempt to claim for themselves and, in turn, the owning village will want to defend. Why try to take them? Well, the first reason would be resources. When a nation owns a large mine, the cost of certain metals will decrease. Otherwise, there could be events or story aspects to an area, so the nation that owns the territory will get privileged access to special events or missions (such as if a territory is known for boars, "Subjugate the Great Boar" or some such). Could also joint-own a territory, splitting the benefits depending on the arrangement. The rewards for a territory can be anything, with the main point being to drive more inter-village conflict.

Unsure if this is necessary, but felt it would be an interesting addition, at the least.

Something very super similar to this has been suggested before, and personally I agree very much with what was said at the time. Something like this isn't going to be officially added as an entirely new mission/event system. However, if you went out of your way to create/pursue plots like this with your friends on site it'd certainly be encouraged.

That being said, this doesn't need to be an official system outlined and restricted by upper staff members. I say just go for it and see what happens.
