Press
France to Naples: You can keep Capua and Ancona. Respect your northern border!
France to Venice: Milan is for me! You have got enough cities already!
Milan to Naples: Rather than an crowing over my bad luck, you should be more concerned with Venician expontial growth.
Milan to Venice: Seems you're surrounded by people who can't read a map or do basic math....lucky you..
Naples to France: Okily dokily, Monsieur, I see I must take the battle to you.
Naples to Turk: A plague upon you, a plague upon you!
Naples to Venice: Mmmm, a nice chocolatey-brown eastern Adriatic. So rich, so flavoursome, so well rid of Turkish undelight.
Naples to Milan: You might have a friend in me unless France sees reason.
Naples to Pope: Don’t even think about it.
Naples to Florence: A nasty plague of rebels you have. But when you’re ready to take on France, I’m with you. After all, he started it.
Papacy to Florence: Your home could be at risk of repossession if you fail to keep up with repayments. I would like Perugia back, but I will not twist the knife any further. We should both look outwards.
Papacy to Naples: Thanks for the warning. Got back home just in time.
Papacy to Venice: Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Venice to France: Just as you requested one support to Milan coming to you now.
Venice to World: Does anybody know how to pay your bills around here. ?? I may have to become a merchant.
Venice to Naples: I did my part. I have the Turkish mainland. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Venice to Milan: Slight revision--The Pope is 2 cities away from elimination, One city between me and Florence and one that borders Naples. I still do not want to be Pope. You can be Pope.
