To Jon and Rick: I couldn't accept yours propositions exchange maps, because my lead defensive strategy based on fact, that possible aggressoor must attack me on spec. Obviously i don't suspect you about that, but you may next exchange the map with Mobius...

Mobius I still wait for your turn...

The Roman Diplomat squints into the sunlight at the hazy horizon. A faint and distant shape appears out of the heat. Could that be a city...?

Yes, it is indeed a city! The fine city of Novarsibirsk!

Greetings Noble Russians! Know that we arrive after a long and difficult journey in the name of Peace. We ask for permission from Grand Patriarch Jon to establish an Embassy that we can become friends.

We also seek the exchange of cartographic information that we both might understand this world better.

A great day, and long in the coming!

Emperor Rick

Mobius You send me old file- turn 46 !

[Jon]

Turn 48 to Rick.

The Streets of Moscow were covered with flowers in celebration of our long overdue meeting with the Noble Roman people.

Be assured that now we know of your location we shall spare no effort in reaching you with an Ambassador.

Beloved neighbours, is there no hope that you will end this sorry and wasteful war?

Patriarch Jon.

The joy of our people is great this night.

After searching in the wilderness for years, to have finally found the Russian nation is a wonderous thing. Grand Patriarch Jon's welcome was warm, and his homeland lovely.

Already, an embassy has been constructed, and in a moving cerimony, a peace treaty has been signed. We are happy to be able to count on the Russian people to be our friends, and look forward eagerly to the arrival of the promised Russian ambassador.

But if this was not enough news to reach Rome, reports have just come in that a tired and dusty warrior who was exploring in the wilderness crossed a ridge to find to his amazement that he was standing face to face with a Greek soldier!

We have given the warrior strict orders to be on his best behaviour, for we have long sought to meet the fabled Greek people. May this encounter lead to a lasting friendship, and an eventual meeting with the noble Mobius.

And our old friend Creator has offered Rome a peace treaty, to extend the good relations we have enjoyed. We have, of course signed it.

All this news haas left even the most jaded Romans buzzing, as discussions last long into the night about all these happy events!

Our visit with our Russian friends has been a fruitful one. We invite them to come visit us soon, that they might enjoy our southern climes! Be sure to bring a bathing suit!
