Press

France – Naples: Your prophecy about plague in Mantua was right, but we also were hurt heavily. I gave one ducat to you in order to disband a Venice unit in fall and avoid his taken of one your city. About my fleets, you did not give any suggestion and I moved as I thought better, I hope. Please let you suggest something for fall at least If I shall be in Modena and Mantua, I shall support your Florence to Bologna.

Naples – France: I hope now that you see better my builds. My 4 fleets in the south need to hold off his 5 till you can take WM, and I hope you moved from LS to TS this turn. In the north I am also overwhelmed, till you can put more pressure on him.

Naples – Venice: What, nothing to say last turn..... or is that you gasping for breath? Not that our immediate strikes should hurt, but maybe in a turn or two, huh?

Venice – Naples: You have to admit, this is a lot of fun trying to figure out what each other will do. Our front has holes everywhere which makes for a wild and woolly chess game. My front with France is kind of dull.

Venice – Both: I had expected more bang for your buck after spending 36 ducats on me between you two. It seems your gains are limited to Milan and pushing me back around BOL. Your southern front still resembles a sieve though.

Venice – Pope: Thanks for praying for me - it really paid off in the plague. I'll set you back up in the See as soon as I take Rome. Which should be within the year.
