    Thank you for thinking of me and having your brother not attack. I didn't understand, though, if that was your gift or if you were planning to send me armies as well. Not to be greedy, of course... ;-) Anyway, you have been a great ally. I am sorry that we were never able to finish off your brother for you -- he is a tough nut to crack in general. Maybe next time. I have sent some units to our border, and will explore next turn, if that's OK with you. If you'd like me to leave it alone, just let me know. Good luck, and I hope to see you back soon! P.S.
