Spring 1457
Deadline/Summer 1457 9/12 Tuesday
Dark days for the Turks as Naples ejects him from his final home city. Venice continues to work against Austria, but gets no help from France. Florence makes gains against the Pope, but those are mostly negated by plague.

Summer 1456 Plague
Poor Year – Column Only: Carniola, Dalmatia (Venice F destroyed), Messina, Pisa (Pisa A and Papal G destroyed), Perugia
Notes
For purposes of the Plague results, I am assuming that the Pope is retreating A Pistoia to Lucca and A Pisa to garrison, since any other retreats result in either the same or more losses.
Press
Austria – France: Don't join the dark side!
Austria – Venice: OK, OK...I'm down to my last breath!
Florence – Pope: Hmm, Naples is looking pretty strong to your south. You better hope he picks Venice as a dance partner instead of you.
France – Austria: Hang on, I know Venice's horde is pouring through, but remember the moneylenders can give you a loan to buy yourself some more time.
France – Florence: To bad the Puppet Pope has lost his sense of reality around him. Madness in Rome's leaders has always been common.
France – Naples: You have one year, maybe two to put some pressure on Venice. Otherwise he'll be more like the Visigoths invading Rome.
France – Venice: How gracious of you to offer an Austrian owned Province. Now if you offer Cremona, I'll start to listen.
Naples – France and Austria: I hope to come up towards you two, slowly but constantly. France, if you need my TS fleet in LS, please you ask for it immediately.
Naples – Papacy: I hope that you finish early with Florence. We need you against Venice: he his too strong for us.
Papacy – Austria: You will fight to your last breath??? Here is the oxygen tank!!!
Papacy – Florence: You are correct fighting is pointless between us. If that is true, you should have disbanded ALL your units an given the money to me. That way at least one us has a chance to compete against the megabuck rich Venice or the terror of the seas Naples.
Papacy – Venice: I hope Naples respects my neutrality. He doesn't want you to win too quickly. Because with Milan gone and Austria to follow who does that leave....Hmm...France, Papacy or Naples. Hmmm
Turk – All: Donations now being accepted for the Assassinate the Naplese fund. You know you all want to. If you all chip in it won't cost any of you much. All you all have to do is come up with 3 ducats.
Turk – Naples: You've got the easy pickings. Go away and leave me in my corner or I'll send the assassins over.
Turk – Venice: Go get him, I'll give you all the support I can.
Venice – Austria: Nothing needs to be said....
Venice – Florence: Fight on old brave one.....
Venice – Naples: I am honor bound to complete my help to the Turk, tho it is obvious you are about to eliminate him. I tried to do it without hitting at you, and that occured only once when we made equal moves. Your words warning me off are sincere, I am sure. But I also see them as a smoke screen because shortly you will be a 2 rated power by taking over all of the Turks holdings. I am still fighting Austria, and don't forsee gaining that advantage for at least another year...
Venice – Pope: Going Well I see... don't forget to look over your shoulder, about now Naples will have taken out the Turk, and have double the funds. And yes, he is talking about my moving south, but aren't you quite exposed right now...
