Press

France – Florence and Venice: This is a gunboat game, or it should must be so, but incredible to say, Venice knew to have moneys from Florence to disband my unit before to have them: another miracle as Naples wishes to happen. I shall stay everywhere and propose the winning of Venice: if you two collude the game has no sense to continue.

France – Naples: If Venice takes at least 14 ducats more than you every winter, it is impossible to go to do better than him on the table, unless you make miracles; I cannot do, are you able instead? Any way Florence and Venice collude thus we can give up the game, if you don't intend to combat Venice: I propose the winning of Venice.

Naples – France & Venice: Since Florence has dropped out of the picture, it leaves me with two choices, to attack one of you, or just to take over his holdings. I will do the latter, unless attacked by one of you...Each of you now hold one of Florence's controled centers... I plan on taking the rest... just for the record...
