Hi France, I'm a little bit nervous about an Austrian-Italian alliance would you mind mutually sharing information on their intentions? Sure, although all Austria has done is complain about their country so far lol Austria seems very knowledgeable so I would take whatever is said with a grain of salt Austria and Italy seem to have made a peacefire for the start of the game at least Have you talked to England or Germany? Yeah; fairly@standard stuff given that we all pretty much have to attack each other at some point I think I may be able to come to an agreement with Italy to focus on Austria for the moment. Would you be willing ceasefire with Italy and leave Pie empty? This would leave you able to move north. Did Italy contact you? If they did not, they're likely still allied with Austria and will attack both you and me He contacted me To@assure me that moving to Piedmont isn’t an act of war, which seems laughable but is manageable Russia isn’t a threat at all to you though, so that’s good I'm pretty sure Austria & Italy are going to do a Lepanto to Smy or Syria Italy very badly didn't want me to build a fleet in Smy... You don’t think Austria is stabbing Italy? One move and he’s done If Austria does, then he won't be able to finish me off So I think that's why he will wait until he's got the balkans and is ready to stab italy Look like Italy may be refocusing west? Thats my read yeah Nope, still tried to stab me
