PRESS
************

Britons speak,

To Irish,

We recognize your trouble with the Welsh, but are unable to help at this point. However, we will not aid the Welsh against Irish either - I want to stay out of the main island for now.

To Angles,

As much as I would like, I can't right now =/

To Norse & Danes,

As much as I might fight Frisians, they did give me <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Fla - and that does count for something. If they kicked me out now though, I won't have much of a choice.

To Frisians,

I appriciate the gift of Fla and I will let it impact this coming season.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

******************
To Picts: No problem on Fir, the peace is kept.

To Welch: Please support A Mer - Mid until it's recaptured. Thanks!

- Angles

**********************
Welsh - Can't we just get along? Surely you see that my moves with regard to you are defensive only? Again the attack on Wil is simply to break any support. I know it will once again fail. It appears that you have Irish troubles. Do you really want to fight on both sides? I know you have a lot of armies and all, but wouldn't this be easier if we went our separate ways?

Angles - I only took Mid because I couldn't stop you taking Suf and I couldn't afford for you to have both and be able to then waltz right into my homeland unchecked with support from the Welsh. We have little to gain here. You are about to have Pictish trouble in the north. Can't we call this good? I would really rather build a fleet than an army and then I can be of less threat to you and Wales AND be of some help. As is, I am simply forced to continue to defend the homeland.

All - HELP!!!

**************
Frisians to Danes : The two of us going all out against each other isn't going to end well for anyone but the Norse and the Britions. I am willing to call peace if you are. If you accept the peace let me know during winter and then we can instead plan for our own countries future rather than being tools for the Norse or the Britons.

Frisians to Britons : I would greatly appreciate it if you would be kind and focus you efforts in another direct and not towards my home centers.
***************************
Scots and Picts, work something out or we’ll all die off one by one. How about trade Arg for Cum? Look at the poor Saxons, and imagine you are them in three years.

Brits, if you move to Cel, we’ll order Ker-Cor, and you can choose the convoy or a move to Bri. If your fleet is headed elsewhere, then enjoy smooth sailing.

Ireland
********************************
Angles, I assume you took back Mid. If I lost Wil as a result, then your cutting Sus – next turn, or the one after – will be appreciated.
Saxons, the Angles are my ally. If you make peace with them, you have peace with me.
Irish, as always, I'll take your lead.
-Wales

*********************
Pict's Announcements:

To Scots: I know you don't like I took Arg and want to take it back. True, if Nores attack me, you can take back Arg and eliminate me. But if so, you only get one back, while giving other 4 dots to Nores, you may lose CUM to Welsh, and face the further attack of Nores. If you let me alive, I can be your Wall against the East, and maintain the balance of power in the Norwegian Sea. If possible, I appreciate you to send one fleet to support me against the Nores.

To Nores: I don't think your moves are friendly. If you keep moving West, I will try my best to defend against aggressors.

*************************************
Norse to all. Looking for inspiration as what to do in this game. Only person giving me jip seems to be Picts so if Scots and Angles want some of them then let me know.
Norse to Picts. If you are not after coming this way then indicate it by going away.
********************************
Bounce*)
Frisians to Danes : I will give you Rhe as an offering of peace. After this year lets each head away from each other.
****************************
Danes to Norse: going west as soon as southern local difficulty sorted

Danes to Britons: I look frward to meeting in the lowlands between us.
