Frenchmen making progress. Slow but steady. Nothing can stop us now.

Egyptian newsflash:
The Egyptians celebrate the birth of a new ship with several festivities. Pharao invites all other tribes living on this barren world to take part in the festivities. If you show up you should be aware that Pharao is accustomed to getting gifts from those that take part. A good gift that will enhance the relationships with any nation is.... a virgin. If of royal blood Pharao might consider marying her as a token of his good will. Be aware however that she will never become queen. Only Egyptian prinsesses have a right on that title. But she will take a place in his harem which is about the same (at least for the Pharao).

News reaching the french capital:
As the scouts reporting, we have found people, that are no french. We do not know, where they come from, and how they will act on us. The entire nation is watching this event with mixed emotions.
Maybe we have a chance to exchange knowledge and culture, maybe the days of peace are over.
Aaginor, the new leader of the frenchmen imidiatly send some of his wisest advisors to the place, where the strangers were found. They have to judge the situation and bring greetings from the french to that unknown nation.

[TheBirdMan]

Chocking news reaches Delhi - a wartririme was spotted in the northwestern part of Delhi Bay.

Wiagra told his advisors to calm down. Though this is a warship, it could also be used for exploration and transport of goods, diplomats and so.

Lets see what this is bringing.

Just in case - call the elite samurai division and the 4.th phalanx bataljon a little closer to our capitol.

Wiagra.

Turn 18 to Franses.

The Vikings are pleased to announce that finaly we may have found another continent on which our hard working people may be able to build cities and grow.

We hope that this is the begining of better times for our great nation!

[Franses]

Egyptian newsflash:
A city reports to have seen another tribe in the distance. Contact has not yet been made but this can not take long anymore. The people of Egypt are thrilled with the idea that finally negotiations and trade may start.

Dire news reached the french capital. After a devoted outburst of rage, Aaginor called all of his advisors. The discussion took the whole night and with the rising sun, Aaginor itself spoke to the french people.

"I have to tell you all about that impertinent folks, that we have met shortly. All that we know about them, is that they called themself russians. Our greetings aren't answered yet, but they make clear, that they won't respect the interests of our nation. Without any comment, they settled down at the french shores.
You all know, that a group of settlers is already heading toward this place, to build up a new french town. And now this russian city is in that place.
We won't let this be unanswered. I have sent a messanger to the russians some hours ago, telling them, that we want this city removed from the french territory. We do not know, if they will do so, and therefore we send a couple of troops to that region. I hope that there will be a peacfull solution, but nevertheless, we are not unprepared, if they will continue disregard our words.
Be asured, that we will keep what is ours!"

Turn to Ircoodge.

Ups - more news reaches Delhi. Were brought to Wiagra, just as had finished the 2.nd wife (just normal morning exercise) - a strong soul in a strong body ).

Our borderpatrol in the south informs, that obviosly the land are not "free" for settling. Some has been there before us!

Some of their buildings indicate, that they even belong to the civilized world.

Think its better to send a messenger (when invented) to establish some better relationships to our neighbors.

At the time being - Wiagra is busy. Women and politics. The Indian people wants a new form of government.

Turn 19 to Franses.

The Vikings are concerned about the reports of movement of military units around the world!

Being a peaceful nation, talk of war anywhere in the world makes us nervous. We pray that a peaceful solution will be found in the current crisis.
