Dear Polish ruler, Dear Austrian Emperor,
I agree mostly to your comments about the benefits of such an alliance.
But i believe you willn't ask me for a clearance to wage war in Europe so i don't agree that you put such restriction on me.
I think we should also have to clarify issue regarding the Balkans.
Vallachia and Moldavia start the game as vassal of the Ottoman Empire. It will remain like that. These are Orthodox countries, not Christians.
About Hungary, i think you should reconsider your point about it, We should partition it:
1) to have a uncontrolled christian medium sized power in the middle of our association would give a good opportunity to somebody to conduct diplomacy on it and threaten our backs at any bad time.
2) The additional buffer of these provinces would reassure each of us concerning any treachery
(you aren't the only ones to be concerned)
3) It would shorten the way we could send reinforcement to each other and increase a bit each ones wealth.
Finally, i have to stress that, as long as our association stands, i have no claim on any territory of Poland or Austria as it is in 1492. Would you be in trouble, rest assured that the Turks willn't back stab you.
Kind Regards the mighty Sultan

Dear Doge Mariani and Leader of the most illustrious Republic of Venice,
As most everyone seems to have accepted our plans for Italy, let us already decide how to partition the peninsula.
Obviously, a geographical partition seems wisest. After examining the map of Italia a little, I believe to have come up with a suitable plan, very close to your suggestion, as a matter of fact :
Venice gets : Mantua, Emilia, Romagna, Napoli, Apulia, and Messina.
Genoa gets : Savoy, Milan, Luca, Modena, Florence, Sardinia and Sicily.
I have not included Rome, as of course, it is a rather touchy subject. If however it is decided that it would be better governed under a Republic, I am willing to leave it to you.
This would bring our province totals to 9 provinces for Genoa, and 9 (or 10) for Venice. I believe this to be a fair partition, but if you believe otherwise I am fully ready to hear your suggestions.
I am also happy to hear that our goals are the same; large-scale conquest should be left to the vast nations. The advancement of the Catholic Faith and the european economy shall be our tasks!

I see the fear in your face. Remember that I have troops in Germany. Spain has LOTS of provinces over there. I'll soon be HRE and will be able to walk around Europe like my backyard.
Furthermore, consulting my archives I have notice that I'm the rightful ruler of a tiny country called Poland. Any other claiming to that throne will be expelled right now. I hope you are not one of those fouls.
But my Austrian, Venetian and Turkish friends told me that they want a piece of the Poland cake. Well, they are like children, you know, and you have no problem with Turkish presence in Europe...
Don't worry. You will always have a place taking care of my horses.
Best,
Laruku I, King of Spain and Poland
TO CRUSADER:
my most honortable ally, I fear that you have made a misstake in your latest reply. you said that Moldavia and Vallachia were Orthodox countries and not Christian. you're right about the Orthodox part, but isn't Orthodox one of the Christian religions?
I always thought that Orthodox was a Christian religion. if I am at error then please inform me of it. but I don't believe that I am.

Laruku I,
Would you pledge to stay neutral in a war of liberation for Calais, given my assurances that the sole goal of France would be to liberate its own territory?

oh my dear Laruku,
you have made an error. you said that you're the rightful ruler of a tiny country called Poland. well go ahead and take control of it.
I don't care. you see, the Poland which I'm governing is considerably larger than Spain.
as for you becoming HRE, it's not going to happen, king of Austria will become HRE. I'll make sure of it.

hmm, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm having a feeling that the core of your message states 'KEEP AWAY'!!!!!! am I correct?

My dear French friend,
First let me state that i regard your mighty kingdom with great esteem. I have some concern about provinces in the Balkans, i hope to resolve these matters as peacefully as possible. I actually have no necessity to attack anyone but the possibility stands.
I want just to make sure that my security isn't in jeopardy.
My plans to the South and eastern mediterranean sea as well as my security are my first concern for now as well as any muslim state of North Africa, Middle East and Caucasus which i consider in my sphere of influence.
I expect to reach stable relations with my neighbours in Europe. I don't even have any direct conflict with Spain for now apart from his probable support to the Knights and the tension he has with my northern friends.
As for the Indian ocean, we will see what can be done.

Hi, Vurbil.
It depends on England being my ally or not. I have no claims over France, but I always honour my alliances.
Laruku I of Spain and Poland
nonetheless, they still are christian nations. as your vassals or provinces they would cause needless rebelions. they would be more useful as my possesions. I am willing to negociate. how about any two hungarian provinces for Moldavia and Vallachia?

My dear Turkish friend, I don't see why you are concerned about Spain supporting knights?
you're not going to attack knights because I have plans for Rhodes. do we have an understanding?

you never cease to amuse me. I think I'll make you my royal jester after I partition Spain.

I wouldn't look too favorably on anyone attacking the Knights of St. John because of their status as a religious order.

I might agree to release Moldavia, i will have to think about it. But Wallachia has to remain mine, it is only two provinces away from Contantinople. As for Hungary, i plan to claim 4 provinces if we partition it.
The Sultan
This is the plan of Poland? To destory Hungary and allow half of it to be occupied by Islam?
