Marobuduus stands...

Boiocalus, it's good to see you! In the absence of my brothers, it is nice to have someone to talk with.

First of all: I second Edit 3.1!

Secondly, Father, did you ever consider to send an army northwards? A lot of undefended settlements are there and maybe we could send some of our captains there?
I will make sure I will follow you as fast as possible.

Thirdly, I would ask you to allow me to abandon my infantry. Our infantry isn't that powerful and experienced and it really slows me down. The infantry I abandoned can be used to sack the northern settlements. This way I wil be able to scout the area and clear the path for you.

Last but not least, I want to welcome Boiocalus to our council!
