Mapping is relatively simple. Get a blank map of Europe from Google, open it in paint or paint.net. Paint the land green and the sea blue (optional), and draw black borders, write names of countries in their places. Colour countries white when they speak, and red/blue/yellow/purple for when they are at war. Red for attackers. blue for defenders, yellow and purple for any other parties involved. When they talk, write what they say over an empty space, such as an ocean. When countries fight, paint parts of a country who has lost territory a lighter shade of the country who took it (optional). Add all finished frames to a movie making software, such as Windows movie maker. Use crossfade between slides and add music. And then you are done! You can also add music to make the video more interesting.
