Beware of "Special Monsters"
(heck beware of everything in a chaos game)
The Special Monsters masquerade as independents but they act like an AI nation. They even have a god and a home castle. The Hinnoms you saw were probably "gift" units like the ones you got. The Special Monster armies can be made up of anything. The hard part is to see them coming since they use the same white-flag as the non-moving independents. Watch the red candles closely. Not all red candles mean a flagged nation on the other side of that white-flag province. It might also be telling you that the white-flag army there is mobile.

No, I attacked Special Monsters, and then Hinnom attacked that same province too, so there were two battles in the turn. Right now, Hinnom's besieging a Special Monsters' fortress so both of these seem busy enough that I can hopefully recover and simmon things soon.
I've finally started buying one mage per turn, so hopefully I'll soon be able to get some demons of heavenly water and then evocations and thaumaturgy for battle support.

So now it's Jotunheim fighting the Special Monsters in that same province to my south. I hope they stay there fighting each other, I've got yet another unrest++ event on my capital (why on earth did I pick misfortune?)
