After months of research, and many executions, the funland scientists finally found out the secret to improving weaponry. It appears that by mixing iron with carbon the resultant material is far superior in weaponry than the previously used iron. The scientists wished to call this metal 'Steel', but mob had them executed for not naming it after him. They just didn't see the irony of it.

However, now that Funland has steel, we have improved the capability of our troops weapons. From now on, Funnish Swordsmen are called Broadsmilers (named after their weapon, the Broadsmile). Funnish Cheermen will be Funnish Pike-Pointers. Also, the previous Tickle Monster Riders will now equip pikes instead of spears.

In order to put our weapons to use, all of our army will head of north, with orders to scout as much land as possible. They will engage in combat with any barbarians found, and afterwards we will clear as many tiles as we have men for it. This is in hope that we will discover new nations and treasures to bring back to the capital.

Glory to Funland! May everyone be forever cheerful!
