This should be overlaid on the campaign map.
In the bottom left corner.
Like a chat box.
With a scroll bar.
Has several tabs.
You can scroll back up to 1 month (probably enough for most tabs)
Certain information can be clicked directly to link to encyclopaedia.
Right clicking a name of NPC, location scrolls on campaign map.
The info scrolls as usual. At the top, there are tabs that show;
A) NPC Prisoners
B) Sieges & Raids
C) Quests
D) All (continuous feed)
E) etc
In addition, these tabs can have check boxes (configurable, to only show certain faction information, like if you are only interested in your vassals being taken prisoner, getting ransomed or escaping! Configure where? Probably can be done by clicking on the chat box, a button that says settings and that pops up like the ESC menu). This obviously can have many good uses, and cut down on switching screens for every bit of information!
This will help the user keep track of settlements under siege, as they can leave the tab selected, which will only display information about your factions settlements being sieged, or that your vassals are sieging!
