Press
Austria – France: Thank you, kind sir!
Austria – Venice: I'll fight to my last breath!
Florence – Pope: All I want is for us to return to our homelands before others grow too large. I can ensure that it will take you at least two more years before you conquer me and by then we both will be mere lackeys to powers bigger than us. I beg of you!
Naples – France and Austria: Dear friends, the big Venice made clear his thoughts about south; after the sudden campaign that he began against you two, he is proving to penetrate deceitfully in the Turkish properties. Thus I will engage him there alone as soon as possible, because Florence and the Pope are too occupied in their questions.
Naples – Venice: Please, again I must ask your immediate disengagement from the south.
Papacy – Florence: Florence is James Bond...I am Goldfinger. Bond is died up and a deadly ray is inching toward him...Bond: Do you want me to talk? Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond. I want you to die.
Venice – France: You are an honorable ally, as shown by your support of Austria's army in Milan. I will cede Milan to you, should you so desire it... take it when you will. Can we then move south together?
Venice – The Papacy: You may not be belligerent towards Naples, but will he respect that?
Venice – Turks: Sure hope you saw that you needed to do something radical this turn, or theres's nothing I can do to help you.
