Press

Austria – France: Oop, I'm outa here!

France – Austria: Why has your Army taken up Arms against my Son's Army in Milan? Rumor has it that your General has consorted with a Venetian Duchess? Therefore I will overlook said offense, to honor our Alliance we have formed since the beginning of this War, and continue to fight with the Austrians against the Venetian Dogs. In return, withdraw your Army from Milan, excute that Traitor, and deliver his head to my Son as an Apology. With your Milan Army, move into Trent, and my Cremona Army will break Bergamo's Army Support.

France – Naples: I want to assure you, my builds are only to protect my borders, and to fight against our common enemies. I look forward to an Arrangement where our two Countries can form an Alliance against any who oppose our Rule.

France – Pope: I remember your disrespectful remark you had said, " But DAD *-He started it first.....Wahhhh. ", and in return I except Piombino as your Apology to me. No further seizures of Land from my Fleet or Armies will be made unless your unhappy with this Arrangement and you want me to alter this agreement? Do say something, give me a reason to come to the aid of Florence.

Papacy – Florence: You fought well. I applaud you effort. I may not become a power, but, I may play Kingmaker to the eventual winner Naples or France. and maybe they will send ducats for me to support one or the other....
