Russian appreciate the Aussie gesture and respond in kind. After examining the maps the Russians speculate that the Aussies might need more room and propose expanding the eastern/western dorsal mountain borders to include a one city radius to the western edge of the north/south mountain ranges for the Aussies development bordering the Russian river valley territories a little further to the west.

It appears that there might be another civ on the other side of the jungles. Just speculations at this point not sightings but the Russians are sending their excess warriors to the area as a blocking line to prevent intrusions of foreign settlers on the future Aussie and Russian colonies for the northern jungles of the continent.

The Russian military advisors speculate that by the apparent size of the continent and still undiscovered northern territories that this leaves plenty of room for another AI empire to be placed on this continent. If the size of the continent was smaller or suddenly the scouts run into the northern coast line then we may be proven wrong. However, I wish to err on the side of preparedness rather than being surprised by this. A jungle makes for a natural boundary for 2 tile movement units and it seems the AI does not like exploring them too deeply when other terrain more manuever friendly is available to explore.

The Russians that were mapping the edges of the continent have been re-tasked to the movement of blocking troops to the northern jungles. They were attempting to keep their distance from the Aussie cities while mapping the borders of the continent. As the Aussies have shared their maps with us this is no longer necessary and the units can be and have been reassigned.

Russians continuing to learn rapidly. Was thought that this rapid succession of discoveries was from the Aussie's but after the last statement are unsure of what is the cause of the recent rapid discoveries of the Russian scientists.

Was wondering were the rapid acquisition of techs was coming from. The Russian people will soon be in supply of several sources of furs and will allow the Aussie's access to this supply once connected to them by roads. Still a few turns away but is the only thing of any value that the Russians can offer at the moment.

Maybe because the last three advances took only one turn. I thought they might have been Aussie gifts but received no dialogue explaining this except the usual you scientists have discovered. Very strange. New research is on second turn with no discovery.

Offer for furs still stands if the Aussie's are interested once the sources are connected.

The warrior in the mountains to the north reported sighting a purple tunic wearing unit similar to our scouts for a few seconds. Rumors abound around the Military Advisors war room that this might be the colors of the feared northern raiders known as the Vikings lead by none other than Ragnar Lodbrok himself a fearless warrior.

Whether or not this warrior was eating the mushrooms grown on cattle dung is unclear at the moment.
