Press
France to Naples: You should rather defend against V than attack me.
France to Venice: You are right, the Catholics are suffering badly under their bouncing Pope.
Naples to Milan: It’s not easy being green…
Naples to France: Be good or I will taunt you a second time.
Naples to Pope: You be good too, Papa.
Naples to Venice: Oh the to-ing and the fro-ing and the close-heeling around the toe of the boot.
Naples to Florence: Greetings, friend.
Venice to Papacy: You are down to 1 city Rome as a Home city and yet you decide to annoy me by going to Ferrera and getting closer to my homeland. Did you not learn from the Turkish example??
Venice to Naples: Am moving around you as agreed. Moving Ionian Sea to CM and then WM. I do not want succor in your ports as I would be sucker into a 3rd war. No thanks. I am waiting till fall to reclaim Dal and Croatia with the fleets as the plague does not affect fleets at sea.
Venice to Milan: Thank you for Trent, Your private villa is being build in Albania.
Venice to France: Where do you go from here?? You seem a little land locked.
Venice to Florence: I am writing this to you so you do not feel left out.

If Milan retreats to Parma, the army will be eliminated by famine.
