Press
Holy Roman Empire – All: What's happening? Our peaceful game isn't any more?
Normans – Pope: Absolutely.
Normans – Byzantines: Peace?
Pisa – Holy Roman Empire: The maritime Republics of Pisa and Genoa worked always together for the prosperity of own sailor and insular citizens, so it appears very strange the interest on their provinces from the mountain populations of HRE. Genoa is under Pisa influence, sorry. Or HRE intend to exchange cities of Turin and Montferrat, near his own provinces, with Genoa harbour? Or instead does HRE speak about peace but prepare an armed assault to coastal populations? In this last case, we are ready to wait the invaders.
Pisa – Venice: Dear Doge, it seems that HRE wants all North for him: now Genoa, Mantua and Trent, and after? He does not speak about Turin, Como, Montferrat, Bergamo, Fornovo, Parma and Carinthia, that probably he considers own properties. Should you agree that HRE have all provinces quoted before, from Genoa to Carinthia? Really I don't think this a good begin for us two with a so big neighbor in few turns. Please, you should consider with great attention the situation in your northern rear, before to go to south.
Pisa – Papacy: I completely agree with your thoughts. I shall remain where you can see actually from Genoa to Sienna, if you remain in yours. On the other hand, HRE has bad intention on my provinces of influence. Bologna is for you, but I ask that Pistoia remains free, for the moment. Please, you are free to comment or suggest changes to my proposal as you wish, we can agree.
