Press

Florence – Pope: Can you see that I will not roll over for you? Please let's be friends so we can help stop the leaders. Look to the south and you will see a very grave situation for us. Note my defensive moves this turn.

France – Austria: I hope reinforcements are coming in Tyrolea and Hungary. I can't offer much, but my Army in Parma will offer its Support to Milan every Season until next year.

France – Naples: Weather your Fleet Captain acted by your orders or on his own, I'm offering this truce before I convert my Armies to Fleets. Leave Marseille and French lands and I won't convert Genoa's Army to a Fleet. Venice's expansion must stop and your Fleet is a nail in my foot. Either I will remove the nail or I help Austria keep Venice in check. The choice is yours?

France – Papacy & Florence: IF you don't let go of each other's throats, you will be the next dinner for Venice or Naples.

France – Venice: I suppose a cease fire against Austria is out of the question?

Naples – France: Dear friend, I don't think that a single fleet could conquer the France, nor maintain Marseille, and in fact I leave it free immediately. I only needed some ducats against turks and, sorry for this, I took to you. Any way I shall return them to you as soon as possible, and if you don't put too many fleet on the seas. Instead I see that you have many possibilities of expansion on the terrestrial provinces (Lucca, Modena) and could need my support from the sea, hence I could give back the ducats for supporting your conquerings.

Naples – Papacy: As you know, Capua and Aquila are mine and any trespassing won't be liked by me. On the contrary, our no-belligerence pact could be reinforced, if you agree.

Naples – Venice: I hope that you don't wish to enter in my questions with Turkey; in the case I shall not enter in any yours and we could have a no-belligerence pact. You should expand in the North and I in the South without interfere: UA is a your sea and LA should be mine. What do you think about it?

Turks – World (except the Neapolitan Dogs): Send Lawyers, Guns and Money! Seriously folks, send me your spare ducats and I can give Naples trouble until the rest of you can eat him up.

Venice – Turks: Ok, I'll move south to help you, and I know you won't like how I did it, but it was the only way I could see...
