Press
France to Naples: I see I must take the battle to your capital city.
France to Venice: You can have Milan. Savoy and Montferrat are enough for me.
Naples to France: I only wanted to get back to Normandy… but the water in Marseilles is deadly.
Naples to Turk: It’s too nice in Tunis!
Naples to Pope: I’m going home, but Ancona is mine.
Naples to Venice: The French are getting uppity. Quickest way for you to get to them is through Milan methinks.
Naples to Milan: I tried, but French cities are filthy; you wouldn’t believe the places they empty their bowels…. A plague upon them!... oops.
Papacy to Florence: I will not attack you.
Venice to Milan: Finally reclaiming my homeland in Bergamo. I cannot read a map. I am besieging a city that is already mine in Ragusa.
Venice to Papacy: If you do not want us in Ferrara?? Fine. We will go around it.
Venice to Naples: Congratulations--The City of Tunis is yours and in the fall. The Turks go poof. My fleet Ionian Sea is going to a world tour of various non port but coastal cities. First stop Rome. So, my men at sea will see what they can see when they get to the Holy See.
Venice to France: Shall we try this again. ?? Or shall I take care of this Milan problem myself.
