Press

Austria – Venice: Don't drop the soap against Naples!

Florence – Papacy: See that line of blue moving north? I won't hold anything against you should you decide to stop attacking me. All I want is my home provinces again. I assure you I will not be disappearing anytime soon.

France – Austria: I'm sorry about Tyrolea, but I couldn't let Venice be right next to me. As for Milan, I can keep on supporting your Army, but in the Fall I may have to move in to fortify my lines against Venice. We'll wait and see how the Spring & Summer campaigns go.

France – Naples: Keep marching up through Dalmatia & Croatia and sooner or later Venice will have to divert his Armies to head south.

France – Venice: Sorry about your Army in Como, but I couldn't have you controlling Milan with it.

France – Venice: "I hope to come up towards you two" (France & Austria)... To answer your question, it sounds like Naples will be coming through you to join up with us (France & Austria). You wouldn't mind moving your ships in the Upper Adriatic out of his way would you?

Turks – French: You've got my vote and my ducats.

Venice – Pope and Florence: I now find I am confronted on two fronts, and need some monies to sustain my self. Sure hope that the two of you can move some moves towards France & Naples, especially the latter.

Notes

Remember that there are no moneylender in this game. Also, Naples has completed his conquest of the Turks. All Turkish home areas are now treated as Neapolitan, and Naples receives the Turkish variable income die roll.
