Fall 1455

Notes

Milan no longer controls any of his home cities, and is therefore eliminated. (For these purposes, the player must control both the city and the province, so even if Milan retreats to garrison in Pavia, he is still eliminated, he just deprives France of a ducat).

Press

Austria – Venice: Herrro...

France – Naples: Breaking our Treaty already? You don't have enough enemies to play with? Well take my Port, see how long you can hold it, and when I'm done with Milan, we'll play in the sea.

Turks – Venice/Papacy: Come on down, whatever help I can give against Naples is yours, but it won't last long. You won't either if you don't do something about him!

Turks – Everyone: A little help now will save you a lot of trouble later. If you can't send troops, send me some money! (And yes, I'm serious, you can and should send money if you don't want to bow to the Napalese for the rest of your lives.)
