Press
Austria – France: Thanks for your offer, although I feel I'm doomed.
Austria – Venice: Yes, listen to France!
Florence – Papacy: I still offer peace. You won't take me over for two years and in that time you will have a monster to contend with along your southern border. Neither of us want to end up as lap dogs to larger powers. Please pull back and I will not attack you.
France – Naples: I appreciate your apology, but I can't wonder why breaking your Treaty with me was worth the one extra ducat you gained by taking Marseilles? If you want to make things right, I'll except the two ducats, and keep my Armies off the Sea. They like it better on land anyway, the food, wine, and loot are more plentiful here.
Naples – Austria: Let's go South with your EM and work with France against The big Venice. I shall prove to help you two from the South.
Naples – France: Dear friend, I leave the North because my provinces are not sure for the moment. Any way Venice proved to come south, thus I intend to give him some problems on the sea. If you and Austria continue the pressure in the north, we will can work well together.
Naples – Papacy: I supported your Ancona because was menaced from many neighbours. I hope that it worked.
Naples – Venice: It seems that you want to stay everywhere, in the case I must prove to contrast you, if I can. Please you should go back to your northern interest.
Papacy – Florence: If you feel threatened by Naples then march thru Ancona and head south. I'm making sure we stay at status quo.
Papacy – France: But DAD *-He started it first.....Wahhhh
Papacy – Naples: I agree. No belligerence.
Turks – Everyone: Throw some gold coins in the dirt and watch the Napalese scrabble for them like chickens. It's fun. The longer I live on, the longer before he comes your way. Send me your spare change!
Turks – Venice: I like it fine. Come on down and join the fun.
