I just got a random event in which one of my subjects was offended by a neighbouring clan who had passed him a dirty towel to dry himself with after a meal. He wanted to raid the clan, but I had the option of composing a satirical poem about them instead, so I did. Apparently all the clans in the neighbourhood are reciting it and calling the other folks the Dirty Nose Rag Clan now. I'd recommend this game to anyone who is willing (or eager) to go into unfamiliar territory with little guidance. It will probably take a couple hours to feel like you've come to grips with the basics. If you've played any of the major Paradox releases, it's the same kind of feeling (but a very different game). It's very rewarding if you're willing to go with your gut feeling and make mistakes. Also - read the manual!
