In my first playthrough I had absolutely no idea what was going on because I didn't read the readme (as the readme is quite long and they are often unnecessary). Still, even in my second playthrough (after I read the readme) the game wasn't very fun and it was very easy.
I suggest:
a (better) tutorial
Some indication that someone is investigating (and a way to stop it, maybe?)
Less information... the bottom log moves way too fast!
It's annoying to get notified of ongoing rebellions every turn
What's the point of Stat: X/10 if they can just exceed 10 anyway?
You can tell someone's guild just by their image, don't know if that's intended.
This game has real potential but there are quite a few problems with it at the moment, the execution needs some work — I love the plot too, though! :)
