Press
Milan to France: That wasn't very neighborly of you to support that Papal army into my territory. Can't we all just get along? Besides you will find me an excellent ally to have--my armies could work well with your fleets.
Milan to Papal Army Genoa: Are you lost? The prodigal son needs to march south. I understand there is an issue with Naples taking the Holy Father's house.
Milan to Venice: We have no wish to distract you from your fight with the heathen Turks. We support your attempts to keep Europe Christian.
Milan to Florence: Well played. We look forward to working with Florence to keep Italy for all Italians, not just those with the backward collars....
Naples to Venice: I hope you followed my lead last time and moved to Durazzo this time. I can’t stand here supporting you forever while you pansy about in Albania!
Naples to Mr. Pope: Maybe he went north. I’ll go look and see.
Naples to Florence: That should help you extricate yourself from a papa’s embrace.
Naples to France: Bonjour! Nous sommes amis, oui oui?
Naples to Milan: No offence, but I will talk to you when we have something to talk about.
Naples to Turk: Out out, damned red spot.
Naples to GM: I feel blue.
Papacy to Naples: We only popped out for a pint of milk. When you head home can you make sure you've tidied up?
Pope to Florence: Ouch! Well done back.
Venice to Naples: Obviously the Pope was not home. He left his front door open.
Venice to Turkey: I have paid my debts. Can you say the same??
