Can we talk borders? We are rather close, but I would be happy if you could leave the silver 4 tiles straight west from your capital for me, I intend to settle 3 tiles west of that. Would that be acceptable?

Would anyone mind reverting for me? Apparently I just barely missed my turn - I was at my D&D session when it began last night, and it was expiring shortly after I got home from work today. I tried to take it, but it skipped to Nerd-o-rama's turn while I was playing.

Thank you for sharing that. We confess, the site you're looking at for your city is very appealing as a settlement location, easily the best spot we've seen yet; that said, we would prefer not to antagonize our close neighbors. We will cede the location, but in exchange would like to stake a claim to the tundra a few tiles north of your planned city.

Our scouts have only just arrived at your northern borders. We have decent news of the southern lands however. There is a beauteous mountain, suitable for teaching your men how to effectively operate within rugged terrain, lying directly south of your lands.

Our apologies. We are still all discombobulated from that move a few years back. We come from a lush jungle to your south, with a grand mountain that is suitable for training soldiers in rugged combat to our northeast. The Poles tell us there are a strange people called "Indians" to their east.

Wait, what day is it today? Oh well, it doesn't matter. Hello memoirs, just wanted to record that today we started following the sacred path. This wood is quite exotic and appears to promise great things in out future. Unfortunately, it seems between our western Celtic neighbors and the southern state, there are few available jungles for my people to appreciate this bounty. Aggressive settling may be in the future to secure my lands.
