Pro tip: Knowledge is power.
Several different notable events have taken place this week:
The Choas Dwarves have sent scouts out into enemy lands. The information they provide will likely be put to great use.
The Ogre Kingdoms see great value in the coming battle. If they are victorious they stand to gain more than usual... however if they do not win......
The Lizardmen (Ron) have had an especially fortunate turn of events. They have managed to erect a mine in their new land.
The Wood Elves (Jared) are experimenting with new army designs. They are likely to field more elite troops than usual. Beware.
The Skaven (ironically enough) have found a way to infest Lizardmen (Kevin) cities and mines with rats! Fortunately for the Lizardmen, they were able to stop all infestations without much harm done.
The Vampire Counts (Ian) appear to be sweeping through territories with exceptional speed this week... The results of this are still unclear.
The Wood Elves (Ben) have engaged in talks with Orcs in the area. For the time being they have agreed to not engage each other.
The Warriors of Chaos have planted an ore they call "Fools Gold" in the High Elves new mine. After the High Elves discovered this, the entire weeks haul has been deemed, "worthless."
With the addition of mines in the area several armies now have a steady flow of income:
The Lizardmen (Ron) have gained 90 gold pieces from their mine.
The Orcs have gained 70 gold pieces from their mine.
The Lizardmen (Kevin) have gained 90 gold pieces from their mine.
The High Elves were not able to mine any actual gold from their mine this week.
