>Today my partner received her turn report, to fill everyone in a
>little, she had been scouting for new cities and trade potential to
>the area ne of us, this land had once been controlled by a long time
>friend who went of and left it to another , when he left he told me
>that this person was a reasonable person and I would be able to
>continue my relationship with them, although I had had no contact from
>them I asked the previous owner for their address and either he never
>got round to sending it or I lost it , either way I attach no blame to
>him for what then occured. So as our alliance had a spare noble and
>flying horse I suggested that my partner order it to fly over one of
>his squares on her way home , this would provide her with the
>information we required.
>
>This she did and in doing so got no unfriendly reaction, so I felt
>that the new owner was aware of who we were and the relationship we
>had with the previous owner. On her return to our lands my partner
>deceided to see if we could get some info on the cities that lay to
>the ne , again not knowing who owned them and they feelings towards
>peaceful traders we thought if the owner did not want us there they
>would contact them, perhaps we should of contacted them first , but as
>I said I mistakely felt they were friendly . So my partner sent of her
>noble mounted on a flying horse , no soldiers or any escort , we felt
>that we did not want to make anyone think we were hostile.

>After a couple of turns were she succesfully located a couple of
>cities and examined their markets , we were quite happy the overlord
>of the area was not concerned as, we had had no message informing that
>we were unwelcome and should cease our activities and leave the area.
>So this turn my partner ordered her noble to make one more sweep and
>then return home.

>Then this happened.

>I now know that the previous friendly relationship is none exsistant,
