GPS > Magzi All quiet on the western front.

The Vandals are pushing south to the Adriatic Sea ... we have been landlocked too long. Masses of troops and setters continue to move to the south. We also expand north into the forests acquiring new sources of iron.

Open Letter to the Anglo Saxons
The presense of your settlers in the area between us and the Adriatic is unwanted. It has the warmongers on our council anxious for war. I have no quarrel with your settlers ... go south west and claim the victory points that are being squatted on by Celts.
