Poor year – Row Only: Bergamo (French A destroyed), Ancona (Neapolitan A destroyed), Parma (French A destroyed), Mantua (Venice A destroyed), Istria

France – Naples: It seems that we have some other time to stop him. He knows that he must finish within Summer 1469, after he will be assassinated by the moneylenders. Quite surely he retreated in Palermo and so you was able to build a fleet in Naples only, but I made one in Marseille and shall be to your orders against his fleets: please give them to it, and eventually to the other one. If you can, and if he is still there, in Spring you also should support my army move from Modena to Lucca. In Summer we ought to coordinate ourselves to attack Mantua: I must see his buildings and shall make a proposal for this next time.

France – Naples: Sorry, but your buildings are incomprehensible: a garrison in Messina instead of a fleet in Naples? And Roma and Perugia free to be taken from Venice? It seems that our time to stop him is going to finish. Any way, if my moves went well, I shall prove for Mantua now. If you can, in summer you also should support my army move from Modena to Lucca. My fleet are in position now: I hope you suggested some move for them.

France – Venice: Will you able to finish within Summer 1469? We shall see how you will prove to do.

France – Venice: Good buildings, isn't it?

Naples – France: I seriously considered disbanding Venice's Army in Man, which would have helped you but left me in more danger. We'll just have to see what Plague does to all of us, and hope we can hold him off for a year. I didn't think about press, or I'd have asked you if you had some small change laying around, as I'd loved to co-ordinate another disbandment.
