Due to the growth in the number of Tollus factions, we hereby publish
our claim of the Southwestern coastline, centered around the cities of
Redwine, Elakain, Cerrin City, & Darkbone City and the surrounding
provinces.  Other factions on Tollus are urged to contact us to discuss
peaceful borders.

The SUNWATER NEWS is pleased to bring you an update
from northwest Olympia.  Sunwater continues to be a
fairly quiet backwater area, concerned mainly with
construction.  Faction Leader, Colonius, is happy to
report that trade is vigorously expanding in the 
area.          --Free Citizens

My Olympia II page for all G2 players is up at:

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/4545/

The site is still under construction, but there is a partial map of
Provinia in table format (Netscape 3.x or higher is recommended.)

I'm seeking contributions of mapping data or any other materials of
value to players.  Please forward your contributions to me at:

stahl_und_stein@hotmail.com  or  bswain@nyx.net

Though mapping data is the most appreciated, articles and essays giving
tips, starting & position building strategies, etc. will also be
welcome.  I will also include links to any other pages concerning
Olympia II, if the maintainers of the pages will mail me the URL of
their site.

Thibaut........we're still waiting......

turn 30, I'm afraid we will have to assume
you have quit our ranks.
Please email ANY of us.
