Wounds overhall

This might already be on your mind, but I think that a lot of the events that apply the "wounded" trait should be overhauled in the future. I really like the new black eye, swollen wrist, cracked ribbs, ect in melees and in battles. They apply a realistic and reasonable penalty, but also go away in a guaranteed amount of time. I have many times, including recently, had the issue where I get "wounded" in a melee or battle or just out of the blue and then it takes five years or ten years to heal. My understanding is that there is a maintenance event that usually removes this after a little while, but sometimes it seems to mess up. Anyway, that's not really the point.

It'd be neat if say you could get the "stab wound" modifier after a battle or a duel. This reduces your health and combat ability, but also carries with it a higher than normal chance of becoming infected. There could be two different sub-groups/lists for wound types that carry different chances for infection, say. A stab wound or a deep cut vs a sprained ankle or broken wrist would carry a high chance of becoming infected. However stab wounds and cuts and such heal in a few months or maybe half a year. A broken arm or a broken leg will usually not get infected, but it takes a year or more to heal properly and there is always the small chance that when it heals it heals wrong and you get a 'crippled' modifier. Might be lightly crippled, moderately crippled, or severely crippled, each carrying different penalties. Of-course when you are healing your broken arm/leg you might get some events that entice you to take some risks to win prestige or praise or some such, but also cause your limb to heal improperly. Later though you might get an event from a skilled enough maester (your own or a friend's or the maester of any court you are in) who offers to re-break the limb and re-set it to try and fix it.

Maybe you go out like William the Bastard, your horse stops suddenly while you are riding and you smash your stomach against your saddle. Seems minor at first, but you realize later you have internal injuries and a severe infection. You will probably die.

Or you might fall from your horse and break your back. You'll live, but you'll be mostly incapable for the rest of your life.
