A secret message has leaked!  One player reportedly sent 
this message to another:

I am really glad to have the basis for an alliance between two, or possibly three with our friend Falcon, of the strongest powers over this world. We could do a lot in a well synchronised cooperation and needless to say that the three big fighting each other will be deadly and the medium size kingdoms would soon be the big ones... So I already contacted Falcon, maybe you can also do it... For now peace and please not even scouting (for I have urgent need of all my units elsewhere). Your friend always, G.

Emissaries of Falcon carry this message to all:

Merry Russian Christmas!!! :)
