Press

Florence – Genoa: Would love to hear from you, but my attempts to communicate bounce. Your email appears to be wrong. If you survive this next turn, drop me a line .

Genoa – Avignon: Since you don't have e-mail, can you do some communictions in the Press Clipings about your thoughts and etc.? I now find our joint neighbor encroaching on me, and would like to co-ordinate with you on his early demise, which is what I hope your units up there in the north are also working towards. And should you like our fleets to work southward together I would need to hear from you on that possibility also.

Genoa – Milan: NOT NICE! sure looks like you and Venice are tied together, got to see what can be done to change that...

Genoa – Florence: Your help against Milan will gain my helping you for Bologna later... look at the positions and do what you can... I can handle the north seas, and will leave you the south should you desire them....

Genoa – Aragon: I see no reasons to butt heads, and unless I'm missing something, there is initially nothing to work together on... unless you really want to take on the Avignon and he decides not to help me against Milan. Right?

Pope – Avignon: Sorry, but the heresy must be crushed. Ooops, wrong century!
