{WELCOME_VENICE_BODY}	\n\nGreetings, traveller,\n\nand welcome to renaissance Italy. Whether you play as one of the Italian republics or principilaties, the pope or one of the surrounding realms - in your endeavours you will encounter a number of probably unusual things, that I will shortly explain to you in the following.\n A word of caution ahead, though: Do not expect that everything will just play out as in the history books. The initial situation and the decision to be made are modelled on history as accurately as possible, but just as the historical protagonists you take these decisions by your own free will and are not bound to the historical examples in this. Additionally this image of Italy of the years 1493 to 1559 is subject to the limitations of game mechanics, so it was impossible to implement every arbitrarily small detail. But certainly you are already aware of this. Therefore I shall no longer tarry but instead point out the game's special features to you:\nWhen you put your armies to the field you will notice that his weighs more heavily on your treasury than leaving them in the garrisons. Depending on whether your soldiers are in the field, in enemy territory or even sieging a city, your upkeep cost will rise. So plan your campaigns carefully, if you do not want to go bankrupt!\n\nTalking of campaigns: Renaissance Italy is well-nigh swarming with greedy mercenary captains, called Condottieri, that might offer you their services when you enter a war. This service comes at a price, but the mercenaries are powerful, though not overly reliable, troops and angering them can become more expensive than hiring them.\nThis is a time not only of various wars, but also of the reformation and the advance of the Ottomans. Religion plays a major role in the Empire, on the Balkans and in Tunisia and you will need the unwavering faith and leadership of bishops for your flock. These can only be taken into service in such cities that are the centre of a diocese, and there can only ever be one bishop per see. Bishops that have proven their faith as missionaries or heretic hunters can be accepted into the curia, which will even increase their religious authority. Should you, at some point of time, manage to deprive the papacy of all its worldly power, then you can even have one of your cardinals elected as the next pope - if you control Rome, that is.\n\nYour generals and nobles can build up relations with the church, too. The order of St. John has established itself on the island of Malta and maintains chapter houses spread over the entire peninsula in order to gather support for fighting the Ottomans. Generals and nobles can establish relations with the order, when they stay in a city with such a chapter, and can later be initiated into the order, boosting both their abilities and their renown.\n\nTroubled times are imminent not only on the peninsula, but also north of the Alps new developments cause so far unseen constellations. The Swabian League acts de facto independently of the emperor. Based in their hereditary castles in Ravensburg and Bregenz the houses of Montfort and Waldburg lead this league of free cities and imperial knights towards its very own goals.\nSimilarly the king of France, the Emperor, the Pope, the king of Hungary, the king of Naples, the viceroy of the Spanish holdings, the podesta of Florence, the doge of Venice, the duke of Milan, the leaders of the Swiss and last but not least the Ottoman sultan seek to gain the upper hand on and around the Italian peninsula. The diplomatic and military imbroglio arising from this, together with reports of farther away events, will time and again come across your way - and will frequently prompt you with decisions that may decide the fate of your faction.\n\nWe wish you good luck in the Italian Wars\n\nThe Architects

{WELCOME_SPAIN_BODY}	\n\nGreetings, traveller,\n\nand welcome to renaissance Italy. Whether you play as one of the Italian republics or principilaties, the pope or one of the surrounding realms - in your endeavours you will encounter a number of probably unusual things, that I will shortly explain to you in the following.\n A word of caution ahead, though: Do not expect that everything will just play out as in the history books. The initial situation and the decision to be made are modelled on history as accurately as possible, but just as the historical protagonists you take these decisions by your own free will and are not bound to the historical examples in this. Additionally this image of Italy of the years 1493 to 1559 is subject to the limitations of game mechanics, so it was impossible to implement every arbitrarily small detail. But certainly you are already aware of this. Therefore I shall no longer tarry but instead point out the game's special features to you:\nWhen you put your armies to the field you will notice that his weighs more heavily on your treasury than leaving them in the garrisons. Depending on whether your soldiers are in the field, in enemy territory or even sieging a city, your upkeep cost will rise. So plan your campaigns carefully, if you do not want to go bankrupt!\n\nTalking of campaigns: Renaissance Italy is well-nigh swarming with greedy mercenary captains, called Condottieri, that might offer you their services when you enter a war. This service comes at a price, but the mercenaries are powerful, though not overly reliable, troops and angering them can become more expensive than hiring them.\nThis is a time not only of various wars, but also of the reformation and the advance of the Ottomans. Religion plays a major role in the Empire, on the Balkans and in Tunisia and you will need the unwavering faith and leadership of bishops for your flock. These can only be taken into service in such cities that are the centre of a diocese, and there can only ever be one bishop per see. Bishops that have proven their faith as missionaries or heretic hunters can be accepted into the curia, which will even increase their religious authority.

The initial situation and the decision to be made are modelled on history as accurately as possible, but just as the historical protagonists you take these decisions by your own free will and are not bound to the historical examples in this. Additionally this image of Italy of the years 1493 to 1559 is subject to the limitations of game mechanics, so it was impossible to implement every arbitrarily small detail. But certainly you are already aware of this. Therefore I shall no longer tarry but instead point out the game's special features to you:\nWhen you put your armies to the field you will notice that his weighs more heavily on your treasury than leaving them in the garrisons. Depending on whether your soldiers are in the field, in enemy territory or even sieging a city, your upkeep cost will rise. So plan your campaigns carefully, if you do not want to go bankrupt!\n\nTalking of campaigns: Renaissance Italy is well-nigh swarming with greedy mercenary captains, called Condottieri, that might offer you their services when you enter a war. This service comes at a price, but the mercenaries are powerful, though not overly reliable, troops and angering them can become more expensive than hiring them.\nThis is a time not only of various wars, but also of the reformation and the advance of the Ottomans. Religion plays a major role in the Empire, on the Balkans and in Tunisia and you will need the unwavering faith and leadership of bishops for your flock. These can only be taken into service in such cities that are the centre of a diocese, and there can only ever be one bishop per see. Bishops that have proven their faith as missionaries or heretic hunters can be accepted into the curia, which will even increase their religious authority. Should you, at some point of time, manage to deprive the papacy of all its worldly power, then you can even have one of your cardinals elected as the next pope - if you control Rome, that is.\n\nYour generals and nobles can build up relations with the church, too. The order of St. John has established itself on the island of Malta and maintains chapter houses spread over the entire peninsula in order to gather support for fighting the Ottomans. Generals and nobles can establish relations with the order, when they stay in a city with such a chapter, and can later be initiated into the order, boosting both their abilities and their renown.\n\nTroubled times are imminent not only on the peninsula, but also north of the Alps new developments cause so far unseen constellations. The Swabian League acts de facto independently of the emperor. Based in their hereditary castles in Ravensburg and Bregenz the houses of Montfort and Waldburg lead this league of free cities and imperial knights towards its very own goals.\nSimilarly the king of France, the Emperor, the Pope, the king of Hungary, the king of Naples, the viceroy of the Spanish holdings, the podesta of Florence, the doge of Venice, the duke of Milan, the leaders of the Swiss and last but not least the Ottoman sultan seek to gain the upper hand on and around the Italian peninsula. The diplomatic and military imbroglio arising from this, together with reports of farther away events, will time and again come across your way - and will frequently prompt you with decisions that may decide the fate of your faction.\n\nWe wish you good luck in the Italian Wars\n\nThe Architects

{GELDWECHSLER_BODY}	Your treasury is so empty that even your enemies have already thought about to lend you money. Luckily, the Banco di San Giorgio  offering  you some money, which could help you at least briefly. If you accept the offer, you will be given 15,000 denari to satisfy your creditors. But the interest are high, and you can be sure that the bank will hollow the money back. Will you accept?
{GELDWECHSLER_TITLE}	Bankrupt

{GELDWECHSLER_A_BODY}	You have accepted and received 15,000 pieces of gold the bank's offer. This will certainly help you momentarily. You can be happy with your recovered liquidity, but keep in mind that you have to pay back the money at some point.
{GELDWECHSLER_A_TITLE}	Accepted

{GELDWECHSLER_Z_BODY}	It's time. The day of reckoning has come. Banco di San Giorgio presents you the bill. It demands the 15,000 gold pieces back and additionally 5,000 more in interest, or as they call it: "allowance". The bank was so fast when they drove out the money, that we weren't able to stop them.\n\nMaybe you think it over if you ever have money worries again.
{GELDWECHSLER_Z_TITLE}	Payday

{GELDWECHSLER_AB_BODY}	You certainly have  done well and refused the offer of the bank. While you were thereby been able to pay back, but this had drove you in the dependence of the Banco di San Giorgio. That can not be good. We have the negotiators made clear that they'll never again appear before you.
{GELDWECHSLER_AB_TITLE}	Declined

{EROBERUNG_NEAPELS_BODY}	\n\nA cunning commander has managed the incredible, he stormed Naples. The largest city in southern Italy and capital of the kingdom is truly a wonderful price for the efforts of his dynasty. But to keep the city will be at least as difficult as the conquest\n\nEffects: 5,000 denari for the conqueror.
{EROBERUNG_NEAPELS_TITLE}	Naples is conquered!

{TASCHENUHR_BODY}	\n\nIn Nuremberg, the powerful trading city,the locksmith Peter Henlein in 1504 has succeeded in building a first portable clock. This is a revolution of timing, since it is now possible to determine at the exact time at any point. Unfortunately he is also the founder for a future society which is completely dominated by watches, but he isn't aware that.\n\nEffects: Generals can get a pocket watch.
{TASCHENUHR_TITLE}	A useful tool

{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_BODY}	\n\nHenry VIII, King of England, has declared war on us! With a strong army, he is now in the Picardy and threatens the fortresses and cities in the region. Whether he has now crossed the channel at the request of the emperor, the Spanish or any of your other enemies is debatable. In any case your dukes in the north are in need of money to hire mercenaries in Flanders, Brittany or the kingdom.\n\nDo you like to support the princes in the north with 20,000 denari?
{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_TITLE}	The North is devastated!

{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_YES_BODY}	\n\nWith your generous donation, the prince of Picardy and Normandy succeeded to assemble a deterrent military power. Henry VIII seems not want to take the risk on a battle and is on his way back to Calais.\n\nEffects: Northern France is saved.
{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_YES_TITLE}	Push them back!

{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_NO_BODY}	\n\nWithout financial support the princes have not been able to endure against Henry. Some defected to him, so he even conquered the city Boulougne - their rich revenues are now missing. At least Henry is gone back to England after his success, instead of marching to Paris.\n\nEffect: Decrease the king's purse by 1000 denari.
{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_NO_TITLE}	No time

{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_ANDERE_BODY}	Milord,\n\nword has it that king Henry VIII of England has joined the Emperor against France in exchange for a large amount of money. He is pillaging and plundering in Brittany and Picardy with a large army. Facing such adversities the French king was forced to send parts of his troops northward. Whether the weakening of the French will redound to our advantage remains yet to be seen.\n\nEffects: A part of the French troops leaves the map, -20000 florins for the Empire
{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_ANDERE_TITLE}	North of France is devastated!

{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_HRE_BODY}	Your Majesty,\n\nthe French king's support for the duke of Albany, who is instigating the Scots against England, has brought the English crown more and more in opposition to France. As of now king Henry VIII is still reluctant to declare war on France, as he would forfeit the debts yet to be paid to him by the French. If we compensated him for that he'd be ready and willing to invade northern France with a large army. This would force the French king to detach troops to the north. A sum of 30000 florins should suffice to convince Henry. Shall we effect the payment?
{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_HRE_TITLE}	A small indemnity..

{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_HRE_JA_BODY}	The English army will soon be pillaging Picardy and Brittany. The sum weighs heavily on our war chest, but the French were forced to send a considerable part of their troops to the north, that now can no longer fight in Italy.\n\nEffects: A part of the French troops leaves the map.
{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_HRE_JA_TITLE}	..with a large benefit!

{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_HRE_NEIN_BODY}	As you wish, Your Majesty. Perhaps the money is of greater use here.\n\nEffects: Nothing.
{EINFALL_ENGLANDS_HRE_NEIN_TITLE}	Another use!

{COMUNEROS_AUFSTAND_BODY}	\n\nThe stands in Spain, the comuneros, rise up against the royal power! The large tax burden that has been imposed on the people for the maintenance of soldiers in Italy, is responsible for the rebellion. In order to suppress the uprising are foreign mercenaries necessary, Spanish soldiers could fraternize with them, but these are expensive.\n\nDo you like to spend 25,000 denari to suppress the uprising?
{COMUNEROS_AUFSTAND_TITLE}	The Comuneros revolt!

{COMUNEROS_AUFSTAND_YES_BODY}	\n\nIt is done, the comuneros are beaten. With the help of German and Italian mercenaries the troops of the comuneros were destroyed. Now a cruel court is held for the Spanish subjects to give the people an instructive lesson.\n\nEffects: The comuneros are suppressed, Spain pacified.
{COMUNEROS_AUFSTAND_YES_TITLE}	No mercy!

{COMUNEROS_AUFSTAND_NO_BODY}	\n\nAgainst your hopes your governor has failed without any help to the comuneros. The rebels have forced some concessions. Caused by your hard failure there is now a negative impact on the treasury.\n\nEffect: Decrease the king's purse by 1000 denari.
{COMUNEROS_AUFSTAND_NO_TITLE}	They will calm down..

{WAR_MILAN_ENDE_TITLE}	Contract expires..

Economically marginalised by the merchants and militarily of increasing irrelevance by the employment of Landsknechts and mercenaries the disquieted knights have decided to resort to drastic measures.

{DRYDOCK_BODY}	King Henry VIII of England has had a new method introduced to shipbuilding. His inventors have constructed a shuttable dock. A ship can sail right in, then the dock is shut and the water is pumped out, the ship resting on wooden beams underneath, so it does not tilt. Then works on the hulk can be enacted that would not be possible while the ship is floating. Additionally this method allows the construction of bigger ships that can easily be launched after completion without having to move the ship itself. Considering the increasing size of ships these days this is quite the advantage. This invention will certainly soon be taken up by other shipwrights and will ease the repair and construction of large war ships considerably.\n\nEffects: Recruitment cost bonus for shipyards

{WHEEL_LOCK_BODY}	A technological innovation is stirring up the gunsmiths. A new mechanism for lighting the gunpowder has been found in the German lands. While the common match lock still relied on bringing a smouldering fuse and the powder together this new "wheel lock" creates sparks by friction. The mechanism is too complicated for mass production, though, and hence unsuitable for the infantry. The cavalry on the other hand seems to warmly welcome the innovation, as the match lock's fuse used to go out often due to head wind when riding. Some less honest figures seem to be pleased, too, as one can hide a wheel lock pistol in one's clothes without lighting them afire by a glowing fuse.\n\nEffects: Global +1 experience for newly recruited gunpowder cavalry, assassins can obtain wheel lock pistols

Instead of the earth Copernicus puts the sun in the centre and lets the earth, the other planets and the firmament revolve around it. As simple and elegant the mathematical formulation may be, as good the accordance with the observations of the astronomers may be and as open the Jesuits might be towards the ideas - toppling the comforting geocentric picture in favour one where earth itself careers through space causes unrest everywhere. Notably the protestant preachers seem to be more upset about it than their catholic counterparts.\n\nEffects: +10% unrest from universities, faculties, etc.

{MACHIAVELLI_FLORENCE_BODY}	Milord,\n\nNiccol— Machiavelli, currently secretary of the war chancellery, has come up with a suggestion how we might become independent of the expensive and unreliable mercenaries and free soldiers. He plans to expand the militia system and organise citizens in permanent, well trained units. These would be less expensive and more reliable in battle than mercenaries with the sole disadvantage that citizens cannot be recruited in such numbers as mercenaries. Signore Machiavelli estimates that 15000 florins should suffice to build new armouries and training grounds and pay for the improved training of the militia. Do you wish to agree to this?

{FLORENZ_TRIBUT_YES_BODY}	\n\nSignore Podesta,\n\nbad news. The Signoria was outraged that you acted so submissively towards the king. They have declared your contract null and void. You and the Capitano del Popolo are deposed with immediate effect and the Signoria has called the citizens to arms to defend the city. Already all capable men are gathering at the armouries and militia barracks. You, however, are banished from the city and are to leave it come the morrow. Farewell!\n\nEffects:\n\nWar with France, the leader and heir of your faction are banished. New commanders spawn in defence of the city, invested by the Signoria, together with several regiments of Florentine Citizen Militia.

{FLORENZ_TRIBUT_SCHLECHT_NO_BODY}	\n\nMilord,\n\nthe king was quite wroth about your denial and has declared war on us. Now we will have to defend ourselves against the entire French army and trust in God and our allies. At least the Signoria fully backs your decision and has called the citizens to arms. Let the French come. Every true Florentine will stand in their way!\n\nEffects:\n\nWar with France. Several regiments of Florentine Citizen Militia join your forces at the Signoria's behest. A French invasion force will appear soon.
{FLORENZ_TRIBUT_SCHLECHT_NO_TITLE}	Woe to the French!

{FLORENZ_TRIBUT_GUT_NO_BODY}	\n\nPodesta,\n\nat first it seemed as if the king would accept your conditions and forego the tribute. But when he entered Florence with his men, he wanted to extort further concessions and payments from the Signoria and threatened to let his trumpets sound the attack. How much he was mistaken about us Florentines. The councillor Piero Capponi ripped the contract with the king apart and thundered:"If you sound your trumpets, we will ring our bell!". As the news spread our people started to put up barricades in the streets and out of the houses they threw rocks at the French soldiers in the streets. Intimidated by our fighting spirit and in fear of his own life the king finally withdrew his demands, gnashing his teeth. Long live the republic!\n\nEffects:\n\nDue to a lack of funds the invasion force will be smaller.

{FRANKREICH_INFO_ZWEI_BODY}	\n\nYour Majesty,\n\nour preparations for the Italian campaign will soon be finished, but some things remain to do: As we cannot risk a hazardous sea voyage through the corsair-infested waters around Italy, we must ensure free passage through northern Italy. The duke of Milan has already assured us of his support, but Florence has so far failed to pay You their due respect. It is inevitable that we send a delegation to request free passage. However, we should also consider that supply our troops in foreign territory is quite expensive. We could demand a tribute of 5000 florins as a sign of their good will. Would You like to do this, Sire?

Even worse, the Signoria has expelled the Podesta, ripped the contract apart and issued a call to arms. These dishonourable republicans are utterly unreliable. Now we must fight our way to Naples by conquering Florence and teaching this rabble some manners.\n\nEffects:\n\nWar with Florence. The leader and heir of Florence are replaced. Several regiments of Florentine citizen militia appear near Florence.

With regard to Your military power the Podesta and the Signoria have agreed to your request and granted free passage to You and Your men through their holdings. However, we should no blindly trust them. The Italians are proud and they do not forget any concession one has wrought from them, as tiny as it might be. But now we should concentrate on conquering Naples. Your troops await You, Your Majesty.\n\nEffects:\n\nDue to a lack of funds the invasion force will turn out smaller, but it will march directly to Naples.

{VENEDIG_LIGA_INFO_BODY}	\n\nAfter the city of Naples had surrendered to the troops of the French king, he moved to get rid of the remaining pockets of resistance and most of the fortresses quickly surrendered to the outnumbering French forces. However, when the garrison of Monte San Giovanni near Naples refused the king's terms, executed the messengers and sent back their mutilated bodies, the king had the city taken under an unprecedented barrage by his artillery. Within eight hours the cannons turned the walls of town and citadel to rubble. The army stormed the city and in their vengefulness massacred the entire population. Aroused by this brutality and increasingly worried that France might lodge claims to further Italian territories, the Italian lords, the Pope and the Hapsburg commenced to forge an alliance with the purpose to oust the French from Italy again.

Already the atmosphere at the courts is tipping against the king and if you call for the rulers of Italy they will certainly follow your authority and join a league against the French invaders.

The Pope has convinced the king of France and the Emperor to sign a secret treaty at Blois, pledging a joint attack on our republic. Luckily our agents were able to unveil this plot, but nevertheless we are at war with three of the major powers of Italy and Europe now. Soon their armies will invade our lands and we must levy troops immediately. The population is on our side, but they lack weapons. For 15000 ducats we should be able to arm them sufficiently and hire the Condottiere Bartolomeo d'Alviano. Do you wish to do so, Milord?
{ALLIANZ_VENICE_TITLE}	The Treaty of Blois

{ALLIANZ_FRANKREICH_BODY}	\n\nSire,\n\nhis Holiness the Pope has approached us. He is worried about the expansionist efforts of the Venetians in northern Italy. They call their inland territories the terra ferma and could soon become a menace to our own ambitions in Milan. The Emperor seems to be of one mind with the Pope and their envoys in Blois urge us to jointly wage war on Venice. Another war would be expensive, but a bridgehead east of Milan would be of great advantage to our troops in Italy.

The Empire borders the terra ferma in the south and with a courageous attack we could beat the Pope and the French to it. Do You want to wage war on Venice, Your Majesty?\n\nYes = France, the Empire and the Pope declare war on Venice.

{DISPUT_ANDERE_TITLE}	Dispute settled!

{KAISER_TOT_HRE_BODY}	Your Highness,\n\nI bring happy news: The electors have unanimously chosen You as emperor! The presence of Your troops near Frankfurt, where they had gathered after the death of the late emperor, has certainly ... convinced them. Additionally they seemed to be disquieted by the uproar among the population in view of a possible French emperor. Whether the immense amounts of money that we loaned from the Fuggers for monetary gifts were necessary, nobody can tell. But two things are certain: The relation to the Pope, who had supported the French candidacy, is completely shattered for the time being, and both we as well as the French will long labour under the debts we had to make. Furthermore we should be vigilant, as the French king, now encircled by Your Spanish and German lands, could try a liberating strike. But now we should first celebrate Your election. Long live the Emperor, King of Spain, Italy and Germany!
{KAISER_TOT_HRE_TITLE}	..long live the Emperor!

{KAISER_TOT_FRANCE_BODY}	Sire,\n\nI fear I have to tell You, that the electors, intimated by the uproar of the population and the army that the King of Spain put to the field near Frankfurt, chose him and not You as the new emperor. Neither the support of the Pope, nor the immense monetary gifts seem to have had any effect, except for the fact that we will long have to bear the debts we took up for the latter, and that the Pope is now our natural ally. We should soon make plans how to break the Hapsburg encirclement.
{KAISER_TOT_FRANCE_TITLE}	..long live the Emperor!

{KAISER_TOT_SPAIN_BODY}	Honourable Viceroy,\n\ngood news have arrived from Madrid and Frankfurt: Our King has been chosen as the new emperor by the electors. When His Highness put his troops to the field near Frankfurt and the populace grew resentful in the prospect of a Frenchman on the throne the electors finally came to their senses and voted for him. The pope, however, had supported the French King and the relation to the Holy See is now severely damaged. Furthermore we will have to pay our share of the debts incurred to keep up with the French King's monetary gifts to the electors.
{KAISER_TOT_SPAIN_TITLE}	..long live the Emperor!

{KAISER_TOT_POPE_BODY}	Your Holiness,\n\nbad news: Despite your support for the King of France the electors have chosen the King of Spain as the new emperor and the latter is understandably not amused by your position. It seems he swayed the electors by deploying an army near Frankfurt. This forebodes nothing good if it is indicative of his future demeanour. The only beacon of hope is that the new emperor incurred enormous debts to make gifts to the electors and these debts will weigh heavily on the imperial treasury for some time to come. This, however, applies to our ally on the French throne, too.
{KAISER_TOT_POPE_TITLE}	..long live the Emperor!

{KAISER_TOT_OTHER_BODY}	The election is over. Up until the end the result seemed uncertain, even more so as the Pope supported the candidacy of the French king against the Hapsburg candidate - presumably out of fear getting encircled by Hapsburg lands himself. However, soon rumours spread from Germany that citizens and peasants of the German states rioted in the prospect of the possible election of a Frenchman. Although both sides tried to sway the still undecided electors with enormous monetary gifts, in the end it was the troops  the king of Spain deployed near Frankfurt that led to a decision. Under military pressure and with respect to the riotous populace the electors unanimously voted for the king of Spain, who now rules Spain and the Empire in personal union. These events have driven a wedge between Pope and Emperor and the former into the arms of the French, who themselves are now facing a Hapsburg encirclement from the east and west.\n\nFurthermore both sides will long have to bear the burden of the huge debts they incurred for their princely bribes. Certainly France will now try to counter the encirclement by dominance in Italy.

{PETERSDOM_BODY}	Your Holiness,\n\nRome now has a cathedral to match all other churches of Christendom, but the holy city still lacks a church to properly illustrate the absolute primate of Peter. The artist Bramante has a marvellous plan for a cathedral to outshine all other churches. It would replace the old basilica of St. Peter on the left bank of the Tiber. But such a church would demonstrate to the doubtful and faithless world the glory of God.\n\nHowever, we must shoulder the cost of the construction now. Around 20000 florins will be needed each year. We could try to pay this from our regular revenues and treasury, but there is another possibility: This pious building is constructed for the good of all Christians and it seems only just that everyone shares in the cost.

{WELCOME_GENUA_BODY}	\n\nGreetings, traveller,\n\nand welcome to renaissance Italy. Whether you play as one of the Italian republics or principilaties, the pope or one of the surrounding realms - in your endeavours you will encounter a number of probably unusual things, that I will shortly explain to you in the following.\n A word of caution ahead, though: Do not expect that everything will just play out as in the history books. The initial situation and the decision to be made are modelled on history as accurately as possible, but just as the historical protagonists you take these decisions by your own free will and are not bound to the historical examples in this. Additionally this image of Italy of the years 1493 to 1559 is subject to the limitations of game mechanics, so it was impossible to implement every arbitrarily small detail. But certainly you are already aware of this. Therefore I shall no longer tarry but instead point out the game's special features to you:\nWhen you put your armies to the field you will notice that his weighs more heavily on your treasury than leaving them in the garrisons. Depending on whether your soldiers are in the field, in enemy territory or even sieging a city, your upkeep cost will rise. So plan your campaigns carefully, if you do not want to go bankrupt!\n\nTalking of campaigns: Renaissance Italy is well-nigh swarming with greedy mercenary captains, called Condottieri, that might offer you their services when you enter a war. This service comes at a price, but the mercenaries are powerful, though not overly reliable, troops and angering them can become more expensive than hiring them.\nThis is a time not only of various wars, but also of the reformation and the advance of the Ottomans. Religion plays a major role in the Empire, on the Balkans and in Tunisia and you will need the unwavering faith and leadership of bishops for your flock. These can only be taken into service in such cities that are the centre of a diocese, and there can only ever be one bishop per see. Bishops that have proven their faith as missionaries or heretic hunters can be accepted into the curia, which will even increase their religious authority. Should you, at some point of time, manage to deprive the papacy of all its worldly power, then you can even have one of your cardinals elected as the next pope - if you control Rome, that is.\n\nYour generals and nobles can build up relations with the church, too. The order of St. John has established itself on the island of Malta and maintains chapter houses spread over the entire peninsula in order to gather support for fighting the Ottomans. Generals and nobles can establish relations with the order, when they stay in a city with such a chapter, and can later be initiated into the order, boosting both their abilities and their renown.\n\nTroubled times are imminent not only on the peninsula, but also north of the Alps new developments cause so far unseen constellations. The Swabian League acts de facto independently of the emperor. Based in their hereditary castles in Ravensburg and Bregenz the houses of Montfort and Waldburg lead this league of free cities and imperial knights towards its very own goals.\nSimilarly the king of France, the Emperor, the Pope, the king of Hungary, the king of Naples, the viceroy of the Spanish holdings, the podesta of Florence, the doge of Venice, the duke of Milan, the leaders of the Swiss and last but not least the Ottoman sultan seek to gain the upper hand on and around the Italian peninsula. The diplomatic and military imbroglio arising from this, together with reports of farther away events, will time and again come across your way - and will frequently prompt you with decisions that may decide the fate of your faction.\n\nWe wish you good luck in the Italian Wars\n\nThe Architects

Whether you play as one of the Italian republics or principilaties, the pope or one of the surrounding realms - in your endeavours you will encounter a number of probably unusual things, that I will shortly explain to you in the following.\n A word of caution ahead, though: Do not expect that everything will just play out as in the history books. The initial situation and the decision to be made are modelled on history as accurately as possible, but just as the historical protagonists you take these decisions by your own free will and are not bound to the historical examples in this. Additionally this image of Italy of the years 1493 to 1559 is subject to the limitations of game mechanics, so it was impossible to implement every arbitrarily small detail. But certainly you are already aware of this. Therefore I shall no longer tarry but instead point out the game's special features to you:\nWhen you put your armies to the field you will notice that his weighs more heavily on your treasury than leaving them in the garrisons. Depending on whether your soldiers are in the field, in enemy territory or even sieging a city, your upkeep cost will rise. So plan your campaigns carefully, if you do not want to go bankrupt!\n\nTalking of campaigns: Renaissance Italy is well-nigh swarming with greedy mercenary captains, called Condottieri, that might offer you their services when you enter a war. This service comes at a price, but the mercenaries are powerful, though not overly reliable, troops and angering them can become more expensive than hiring them.\nThis is a time not only of various wars, but also of the reformation and the advance of the Ottomans. Religion plays a major role in the Empire, on the Balkans and in Tunisia and you will need the unwavering faith and leadership of bishops for your flock. These can only be taken into service in such cities that are the centre of a diocese, and there can only ever be one bishop per see. Bishops that have proven their faith as missionaries or heretic hunters can be accepted into the curia, which will even increase their religious authority. Should you, at some point of time, manage to deprive the papacy of all its worldly power, then you can even have one of your cardinals elected as the next pope - if you control Rome, that is.\n\nYour generals and nobles can build up relations with the church, too. The order of St. John has established itself on the island of Malta and maintains chapter houses spread over the entire peninsula in order to gather support for fighting the Ottomans. Generals and nobles can establish relations with the order, when they stay in a city with such a chapter, and can later be initiated into the order, boosting both their abilities and their renown.\n\nTroubled times are imminent not only on the peninsula, but also north of the Alps new developments cause so far unseen constellations. The Swabian League acts de facto independently of the emperor. Based in their hereditary castles in Ravensburg and Bregenz the houses of Montfort and Waldburg lead this league of free cities and imperial knights towards its very own goals.\nSimilarly the king of France, the Emperor, the Pope, the king of Hungary, the king of Naples, the viceroy of the Spanish holdings, the podesta of Florence, the doge of Venice, the duke of Milan, the leaders of the Swiss and last but not least the Ottoman sultan seek to gain the upper hand on and around the Italian peninsula. The diplomatic and military imbroglio arising from this, together with reports of farther away events, will time and again come across your way - and will frequently prompt you with decisions that may decide the fate of your faction.\n\nWe wish you good luck in the Italian Wars\n\nThe Architects

{GENUA_FRANKREICH_BODY}	\n\n Honourable Doge,\n\nword has it that the French king wants to back up his claim to the throne of Naples with deeds. Lacking a noteworthy navy he will be forced to take the land route and that means his troops will have to pass through our territory. If we do not want to risk him fighting his way through, we should offer him our support. Inviting the French to Italy as our allies might also provide us with a decisive advantage against our other Italian competitors. Do You wish to propose an alliance in support of his claim to the king?

However, since the time of Cosimo de Medici, the so far stable relations between the Italian powers have prevented any large scale invasions. Even if we are now allied to the invaders, we should brace for the consequences of such an endeavour, that will certainly destroy the 50-year-old balance of power on the peninsula.\n\nEffects: War France - Naples, Alliance France - Genoa, deteriorated relations Venice - France/Genoa.

He has announced that he will use his artillery to force a way through to Naples, should we impede his rightful claim. His vanguard is already besieging our fortress on the road south and we will have to levy troops if we do not want to follow Naples as France's next prey. At least we have gained a friend in the king of Naples.\n\nEffects:\n\nWar France - Genoa/Naples, improved relations with Naples.

{SIENA_FRANKREICH_BODY}	\n\n Honourable Signore,\n\na French delegation has arrived and delivered demands from king Charles VIII. It seems the king is planning a campaign against Naples and he demands free passage through our lands. In regard to his army it would be foolish to deny this. However, he demands even more: As a "proof of our friendship and respectability" we are to pay a tribute of 5000 florins, in order to help with the supply of his troops. Ignoring this demand would leave Charles no choice but to declare war on us. On the other hand we cannot know whether he will leave it at that or continue with more and more demands, once we comply.\n\nDo you want to pay the tribute, Milord?

{WELCOME_LUCCA_BODY}	\n\nGreetings, traveller,\n\nand welcome to renaissance Italy. Whether you play as one of the Italian republics or principilaties, the pope or one of the surrounding realms - in your endeavours you will encounter a number of probably unusual things, that I will shortly explain to you in the following.\n A word of caution ahead, though: Do not expect that everything will just play out as in the history books. The initial situation and the decision to be made are modelled on history as accurately as possible, but just as the historical protagonists you take these decisions by your own free will and are not bound to the historical examples in this. Additionally this image of Italy of the years 1493 to 1559 is subject to the limitations of game mechanics, so it was impossible to implement every arbitrarily small detail. But certainly you are already aware of this. Therefore I shall no longer tarry but instead point out the game's special features to you:\nWhen you put your armies to the field you will notice that his weighs more heavily on your treasury than leaving them in the garrisons. Depending on whether your soldiers are in the field, in enemy territory or even sieging a city, your upkeep cost will rise. So plan your campaigns carefully, if you do not want to go bankrupt!\n\nTalking of campaigns: Renaissance Italy is well-nigh swarming with greedy mercenary captains, called Condottieri, that might offer you their services when you enter a war. This service comes at a price, but the mercenaries are powerful, though not overly reliable, troops and angering them can become more expensive than hiring them.\nThis is a time not only of various wars, but also of the reformation and the advance of the Ottomans. Religion plays a major role in the Empire, on the Balkans and in Tunisia and you will need the unwavering faith and leadership of bishops for your flock. These can only be taken into service in such cities that are the centre of a diocese, and there can only ever be one bishop per see. Bishops that have proven their faith as missionaries or heretic hunters can be accepted into the curia, which will even increase their religious authority. Should you, at some point of time, manage to deprive the papacy of all its worldly power, then you can even have one of your cardinals elected as the next pope - if you control Rome, that is.\n\nYour generals and nobles can build up relations with the church, too. The order of St. John has established itself on the island of Malta and maintains chapter houses spread over the entire peninsula in order to gather support for fighting the Ottomans. Generals and nobles can establish relations with the order, when they stay in a city with such a chapter, and can later be initiated into the order, boosting both their abilities and their renown.\n\nTroubled times are imminent not only on the peninsula, but also north of the Alps new developments cause so far unseen constellations. The Swabian League acts de facto independently of the emperor. Based in their hereditary castles in Ravensburg and Bregenz the houses of Montfort and Waldburg lead this league of free cities and imperial knights towards its very own goals.\nSimilarly the king of France, the Emperor, the Pope, the king of Hungary, the king of Naples, the viceroy of the Spanish holdings, the podesta of Lucca, the doge of Venice, the duke of Milan, the leaders of the Swiss and last but not least the Ottoman sultan seek to gain the upper hand on and around the Italian peninsula. The diplomatic and military imbroglio arising from this, together with reports of farther away events, will time and again come across your way - and will frequently prompt you with decisions that may decide the fate of your faction.\n\nWe wish you good luck in the Italian Wars\n\nThe Architects
{WELCOME_LUCCA_TITLE}	Republic of Lucca 

{LUCCA_FRANKREICH_BODY}	\n\nYour Highness,\n\nword has it that the French king wants to back up his claim to the throne of Naples with deeds. Lacking a noteworthy navy he will be forced to take the land route and that means his troops will have to pass through Your Lordship. If we do not want to risk him fighting his way through, we should offer him our support. Do You wish to propose an alliance in support of his claim to the king?
{LUCCA_FRANKREICH_TITLE}	Angevin Claim

{LUCCA_FRANKREICH_JA_BODY}	\n\nMilord,\n\nthe king has graciously accepted Your offer and is already gathering his troops for the march on Naples. However, since the time of Cosimo de Medici, the so far stable relations between the Italian powers have prevented any large scale invasions. Even if we are now allied to the invaders, we should brace for the consequences of such an endeavour, that will certainly destroy the 50-year-old balance of power on the peninsula.\n\nEffects: War France - Naples, Alliance France - Lucca, deteriorated relations Venice - France/Lucca.
{LUCCA_FRANKREICH_JA_TITLE}	The king's true servant

{LUCCA_FRANKREICH_NEIN_BODY}	\n\nMilord,\n\nas expected the king is outraged about our decision. Though he has not declared war on us, he has announced that he will use his artillery to force a way through to Naples, should we impede his rightful claim. His vanguard is already on the march on the road east. We should better levy troops if we do not want to follow Naples as France's next prey. At least we have gained a friend in the king of Naples.\n\nEffects:\n\nWar France - Naples, improved relations with Naples, deteriorated relations with France.
