Press
Austria – France: Who do I have to worry about?
Florence – Papacy: See, I survived another year much to your chagrin. You may outlast me, but I slowed you enough to ensure you will not be a power.
France – Austria: Stop trying to push East towards Milan. I need to be in Milan to help you push South against Venice. Take your pick of Cities, Trent, Carnolia, or Croatia, and further south there will be Treviso and Padua for your taking. If we work together we can push Venice back into the Venice Sea.
France – Venice: You dug yourself this grave, and you want us (Austria & France) to say "Whoops we're sorry, let us help pull you out"? No, I think you look better being down there and I'll help Austria & Naples bury you.
Naples – Austria: You should attack Trent and Verona, to go against Treviso. I prove to help you.
Naples – France: Well done with the fleet and in Milan. Now Cremona will be yours.
Naples – Pope: I helped you in Sienna to finish Florence, in fact it seems that he is at the end because he preferred to attack you in Bologna instead of defend his cities. Any way, I hope that now you would cooperate with France, Austria and me to eliminate the venetian snake, that was able to attack all players in this game, also the Turkey which asked his help. About Ancona, as I just say to you, it will be again yours when the venetian fleets will disappear from menacing my LA: I think very early. For Sienna, I could easily exchange it with Piombino, if you prefer so, or you propose otherwise.
Venice – Florence: I am not attacking you in Bologna, or elsewhere... but you and the Pope need to move against Naples too. In two or three turns he can - with your help, eliminate the Pope, and right after will be your turn.
