For example, at the end of turn 8, the message might read: 'In this age, eight times since the first flag was raised, we hereby declare that there are now 16 cities in the world, protected and employed by 60 troops. The scribes have counted 35 arts and knowledge mastered in the various territories, but many chieftains still rule under the harsh rule of autocracy or under the simpler customs of tribes.'

You can find summaries that include player names, such as: 'Jess is ranked first among the scorers, with Minikeg and Ihop closely behind. Shazow, Hyfen, and Blakkout are cited as the most fruitful city builders, each leading expanding settlements. However, the biggest news brought by the messengers is that Andrew and Peter have pledged allegiance. According to eyewitnesses, the pledge was made frankly, without the ambiguity often found in early alliances.'
