Zeus has renamed the region Narbonensis as Kalamal.

Emissaries of Duke Timmy RS carry this message to all:

Zeus and Thugwompus are back-stabbing cowards. 'Oh', says Zeus, 'Don't attack me, I only want peace'. Then a few turns later he invades with a massive force, with his lackey Thugy hot on his coat-tails. Don't trust 'em an inch!

Caesar has renamed the region Galatia as Illyricum.

Emissaries of UN Falcon RS ASAP carry this message to all:
