Press

Florence – Pope: It appears we will keep going around and around forever. I will be on the lookout for any peace overtures on your part.

France – Austria: To push against Venice I need to be in Milan. Your Army can stay and garrison the City to support my Army. Have your Milan Army Support my Como Army into MIlan okay?

France – Naples: Don't panic about my one Fleet, its not there to take Sardinia or Corsica. It's moving to Ligurian Sea to Support my Armies.

France – Naples: Please forward my appreciation of the ducats your Turkish Nobles gave me. I forgot about no moneylenders and so without it, I couldn't have successfully bribe Venice's Army.

Papacy – Venice: I am sorry I cannot fight Naples when other powers decide to help themselves to my open centers. You spent your money on taking out a Austrian army, opening the door for France by helping defeat Milan and just let Naples run amok instead of helping Turkey defeat him by spending the money there. Now after you take Ancona you want me to turn 180 degrees around and fight him. What ever you are smoking I want some, of course, I will not inhale it....

Venice – All: I had little time this round to study this game, thus am making some quick last minute moves, let's see what happens.
