Negotiations / Dialogues

Subround 1

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: Greetings, Italy. Given our proximity, it seems wise to establish a dialogue. I propose we discuss our mutual interests in the Adriatic and Balkan regions. Perhaps we can find a way to coexist peacefully, or even cooperate to our mutual benefit. What are your initial thoughts?
To [GER]: To Germany, I am writing to propose a non-aggression pact. We share a border and it would be beneficial to both of us to focus on other areas for expansion. What are your thoughts on this proposal?
To [TUR]: To Turkey, I am writing to propose a non-aggression pact. We are far apart and it would be beneficial to both of us to focus on other areas for expansion. What are your thoughts on this proposal?

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: To AUT, we are neighbors with overlapping interests. Let us avoid conflict. We propose a neutral stance towards each other. We will not move into Galicia if you do not move into Rumania. Agreed?
From [ITA]: Greetings, Austria. I propose a non-aggression pact for the immediate future. I am interested in securing my eastern border and focusing on other matters. Perhaps we can discuss the disposition of Trieste later, but for now, let us maintain the peace. What are your thoughts?
From [GER]: To Austria, Germany suggests a period of peaceful coexistence. We have shared borders and it would be wise to avoid conflict early on. Perhaps we can even coordinate against Russia in the future? What are your intentions regarding Bohemia?
From [TUR]: To Austria, greetings. We share a border and potential interests in the Balkans. I am open to discussing a possible understanding regarding our spheres of influence in the region. Perhaps we can agree on a division of territories to avoid conflict. What are your initial thoughts on this?

Subround 2

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: Italy, I agree to a non-aggression pact for the immediate future. Let's focus on securing our borders and building trust. Regarding Trieste, we can discuss its disposition later, but for now, peace is paramount. I propose we coordinate our movements in the Adriatic to avoid any misunderstandings. What are your thoughts on this?
To [GER]: Germany, I agree to a period of peaceful coexistence. Coordinating against Russia is an interesting proposition, but let's establish a solid foundation of trust first. Regarding Bohemia, I have no immediate intentions there. My focus is on the Balkans. What are your plans for Denmark?
To [RUS]: Russia, I accept your proposal for a neutral stance. I agree not to move into Rumania if you do not move into Galicia. Let's maintain this understanding to avoid unnecessary conflict. I am curious about your intentions in Turkey.

Received by AUT:

From [GER]: To Austria, I also accept your proposal for a non-aggression pact. To ensure stability, I propose we agree on spheres of influence. I will not interfere in Bohemia if you do not interfere in Silesia. This will prevent any accidental conflicts. What do you say?
From [TUR]: To Austria, I accept your proposal for a non-aggression pact. Let's focus on our respective expansion plans without interference. I am interested in Serbia and Greece. What are your intentions in the Balkans?
From [ITA]: Austria, thank you for your response. I agree that a dialogue is wise. I am primarily interested in securing Trieste for Italy. However, I am willing to offer concessions elsewhere in exchange for your cooperation. Perhaps we can discuss the disposition of Tyrol as well. What are your thoughts on a potential trade: Trieste for Tyrol, with a guarantee of non-aggression for the next two years?
From [RUS]: To AUT, we appreciate your willingness to avoid conflict. However, a simple neutral stance is not enough. We propose a more concrete agreement: Russia will support Austria's move into Serbia if Austria supports Russia's move into Rumania. This will secure both our flanks and allow for expansion. What do you say?

Subround 3

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: Italy, I appreciate your directness. Trieste is a core territory for Austria, and Tyrol is strategically important. I am not inclined to trade them. However, I am willing to offer support for your expansion into Albania in exchange for a guarantee of non-aggression for the next two years and your support for my move into Serbia. What are your thoughts?
To [GER]: Germany, I accept your proposal for spheres of influence. I agree not to interfere in Silesia if you do not interfere in Bohemia. This will prevent accidental conflicts and allow us to focus on our respective goals. I am curious about your intentions in Scandinavia.
To [RUS]: Russia, I am hesitant to commit to a joint move into Serbia and Rumania. It seems too aggressive at this early stage. However, I am willing to consider a more limited agreement. I will support your move into Rumania if you support my move into Serbia in the following turn, provided the situation on the ground allows for it. This gives us both flexibility and avoids immediate conflict. What do you say?

Received by AUT:

From [GER]: To Austria, I appreciate your willingness to coexist peacefully. Since you have no immediate intentions in Bohemia, I will focus on Denmark and Holland. I propose we maintain a neutral stance towards each other's expansion efforts for now. If Russia becomes too aggressive, we can revisit the idea of coordinating against them. Does this sound acceptable?
From [RUS]: To AUT, we are disappointed by your lack of ambition. A simple neutral stance benefits no one. We reiterate our offer: Russia will support Austria's move into Serbia if Austria supports Russia's move into Rumania. This is a win-win scenario. Consider it carefully.
From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your agreement to a non-aggression pact. Coordinating movements in the Adriatic is a good idea. I propose that my fleet in Naples will remain in the Ionian Sea, and my army in Venice will remain in Venice, unless we agree otherwise. This should alleviate any concerns about my intentions in Trieste for the time being. What specific movements are you planning in the Adriatic?
From [TUR]: To Austria, I am moving A CON to BUL. This is within my sphere of influence in the Balkans. I am also moving A SMY to ARM. I expect you to respect my expansion plans. What are your next moves?

Subround 4

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: Italy, I appreciate the agreement on the non-aggression pact and the coordination in the Adriatic. I will ensure that my fleet in Trieste remains in the Adriatic Sea, and my army in Vienna will remain in Vienna, unless we agree otherwise. I am moving A BUD to SER. This should alleviate any concerns about my intentions in Trieste for the time being.
To [GER]: Germany, I appreciate your willingness to coexist peacefully. I will focus on the Balkans. I propose we maintain a neutral stance towards each other's expansion efforts for now. I am moving A VIE to TRI. Does this sound acceptable?
To [RUS]: Russia, I am moving A BUD to SER. I am moving A VIE to TRI. I am moving F TRI to ALB. I am not moving into Rumania. I expect you to respect my expansion plans. What are your next moves?

Received by AUT:

From [ITA]: Austria, I cannot agree to supporting your move into Serbia. My ambitions lie elsewhere. However, I will maintain the non-aggression pact for the next two years if you agree to cede Trieste to Italy. This is my final offer.
From [RUS]: To AUT, we accept your counter-proposal. We will support your move into Serbia next turn if the situation allows, provided you support our move into Rumania this turn. Let us proceed with this limited agreement and see where it leads.
From [GER]: To Austria, I appreciate your understanding regarding spheres of influence. I will focus on Denmark and Holland, and you can focus on the Balkans. Let us maintain a neutral stance towards each other's expansion efforts for now. This is my final communication for this round.
From [TUR]: To Austria, I am moving A CON to BUL and A SMY to ARM. This is within my sphere of influence in the Balkans. I expect you to respect my expansion plans. I am not interested in Serbia or Greece at this time. What are your next moves?

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: No prior moves to summarize. Established non-aggression pacts with GER and ITA. ITA wants Trieste, but I refused to cede it. Agreed to a limited agreement with RUS: I will support their move into Rumania next turn if they support my move into Serbia this turn, provided the situation allows. TUR is moving into BUL and ARM, claiming it's within their sphere of influence. GER will focus on Denmark and Holland, maintaining neutrality with me.
Intent: My primary goal is to expand into the Balkans, specifically Serbia. I will use the agreement with RUS to facilitate this, while maintaining a defensive posture against ITA. I will monitor TUR's movements closely. I will maintain a neutral stance with GER, focusing on my own expansion. I will continue to probe ITA for weaknesses and potential opportunities to gain an advantage. I will honor the non-aggression pacts with GER and ITA for now, but will be ready to break them if necessary to achieve my objectives. I will move A BUD to SER, A VIE to TRI, and F TRI to ALB.

Subround 1

Sent by AUT:

To [RUS]: Greetings, RUS. As agreed, I have moved A BUD to SER. I trust you will honor our agreement and support my move into SER. I am also moving A VIE to TRI and F TRI to ALB. Please confirm your support for SER.
To [GER]: Greetings, GER. I am maintaining a neutral stance as agreed. My moves this turn are A BUD to SER, A VIE to TRI, and F TRI to ALB. I am focused on the Balkans. I trust you are focused on your agreed upon areas. Let me know if anything changes.
To [ITA]: Greetings, ITA. I am maintaining a defensive posture. My moves this turn are A BUD to SER, A VIE to TRI, and F TRI to ALB. I am focused on the Balkans. I hope we can continue to avoid conflict. Let me know if you have any concerns.

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I have moved into RUM as discussed. I expect your support into SER next turn. Let me know if your plans have changed.
From [TUR]: Austria, I am watching your moves in the Balkans. I hope we can maintain a peaceful relationship. I am open to discussing our mutual interests in the region. Let's avoid any conflicts that could benefit other powers.
From [ITA]: Greetings Austria, I hope this message finds you well. I propose we continue our non-aggression pact. I am planning to move my units to consolidate my position in Italy. I intend to move A VEN to PIE, A TYR to SWI, and F NAP to TYS. This is purely for defensive purposes and should not be seen as a threat. I hope we can continue our peaceful coexistence.

Subround 2

Sent by AUT:

To [RUS]: Greetings, RUS. I have indeed moved into SER. I expect your support to hold it. I am concerned about TUR's interest in the Balkans. Perhaps we can coordinate to limit their influence.
To [TUR]: Greetings, TUR. I acknowledge your interest in the Balkans. My moves are primarily defensive, securing SER. I am open to discussing mutual interests, but I will defend my territories. Let's avoid unnecessary conflict.
To [ITA]: Greetings, ITA. I appreciate your commitment to our non-aggression pact. Your moves seem reasonable. I will maintain my defensive posture in the Balkans. I hope we can continue our peaceful coexistence. I am concerned about TUR's expansionist tendencies.

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I will not support your move into SER this turn. You are moving too aggressively in the Balkans. I am moving A MOS to SEV and F RUM to BLA. Do not expect further cooperation unless you adjust your strategy.
From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your defensive posture. However, I must reiterate my need to secure Tunis. I assure you, my moves are not directed at you. I am merely securing my position in the Mediterranean. I propose we continue our non-aggression pact and focus on our respective spheres of influence. I will support your moves in the Balkans if you allow me to secure Tunis.
From [TUR]: Austria, I am observing your movements in Serbia and Albania. While I understand your need to secure your borders, I must express my concern about the potential for conflict in the Balkans. I propose we discuss a formal agreement on spheres of influence in the region to avoid any misunderstandings. Perhaps we can agree on a division of the Balkans that benefits both our nations.

Subround 3

Sent by AUT:

To [RUS]: Greetings, RUS. Your sudden reversal is noted. I am not moving too aggressively; I am securing my border. Your move to BLA is concerning. What are your intentions there? I am willing to reconsider my Balkan strategy if you clarify your position and offer a concrete proposal for cooperation. Otherwise, I will assume you are acting against my interests.
To [TUR]: Greetings, TUR. I am open to discussing spheres of influence in the Balkans. However, I will not cede SER. What specific division do you propose? I am willing to negotiate, but I need concrete details. Let's avoid vague pronouncements and focus on a mutually beneficial agreement.
To [ITA]: Greetings, ITA. I am concerned about your insistence on Tunis. It is far from Italy and could destabilize the region. I am willing to consider supporting your move if you offer a significant concession in return. What are you willing to offer for my support of your Tunis ambition? I need a concrete proposal, not just assurances.

Received by AUT:

From [ITA]: Austria, I am willing to maintain our non-aggression pact, but I must secure Tunis. I will not move into Trieste. I will move F NAP to TUN, A VEN to TRI, and A TYR to VIE. This is to secure my position and put pressure on Turkey. I hope you understand.
From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I warned you about your aggressive moves in the Balkans. I will not support your occupation of SER. I am moving A MOS to SEV and F RUM to BLA to secure my position in the Black Sea. I suggest you reconsider your strategy if you wish to avoid conflict with Russia.
From [TUR]: Austria, I am concerned about your moves in Serbia and Albania. To avoid conflict, I propose a formal agreement: I will not move into Serbia if you agree not to move into Bulgaria. This would create a buffer zone and prevent direct conflict. What are your thoughts on this proposal?

Subround 4

Sent by AUT:

To [RUS]: Greetings, RUS. Your moves are hostile. I will defend SER. Consider this a final warning. I will adjust my strategy accordingly.
To [TUR]: Greetings, TUR. I reject your proposal. I will not be dictated to. I will continue to pursue my interests in the Balkans. Be warned.
To [ITA]: Greetings, ITA. Your moves are unacceptable. I will not support your Tunis ambition. I will defend my territories. Consider our non-aggression pact void.

Received by AUT:

From [ITA]: Austria, I am moving F NAP to ION, A VEN to TRI, and A TYR to VIE. This is to secure my position and put pressure on Turkey. I will not attack you. I hope you understand. I will offer you support in taking Serbia if you allow me to take Tunis.
From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. My move to BLA is to secure the Black Sea, not to threaten you. However, your aggressive moves in the Balkans are unacceptable. I will not offer any further proposals for cooperation. Consider this a warning. This is my final communication this phase.
From [TUR]: Austria, I am willing to negotiate a division of the Balkans. I propose you take Serbia and I take Bulgaria. This creates a buffer and avoids direct conflict. Let me know if this is acceptable. I am also open to discussing other options, but I need concrete details.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: I moved A BUD to SER, A VIE to TRI, and F TRI to ALB, focusing on the Balkans as agreed with GER and RUS. ENG, FRA, GER, ITA, RUS, and TUR all made moves. Initial agreements with RUS and GER fell apart. RUS became hostile due to my move into SER and moved to BLA. ITA insisted on Tunis, offering support for SER in return, but I rejected it. TUR proposed a division of the Balkans, which I also rejected. All relationships have deteriorated.
Intent: I intend to defend SER against RUS. I will break the non-aggression pact with ITA and prepare for potential conflict. I will also prepare for conflict with TUR. My moves will be A SER H, A TRI S A SER, F ALB - ADR.

Subround 1

Sent by AUT:

To [RUS]: To RUS, your move into Rumania was unexpected and hostile. I propose we de-escalate. I will not move into Rumania if you agree to withdraw your fleet from the Black Sea. This will allow us to focus on other threats.
To [ITA]: To ITA, your continued insistence on Trieste is noted. However, I am willing to discuss a potential trade. I will support your move into Tunis if you support my move into Greece. This would benefit both of us by expanding our influence in the Mediterranean.
To [TUR]: To TUR, your proposal for dividing the Balkans was interesting, but unacceptable in its current form. I am willing to discuss a revised proposal that takes into account my interests in Serbia and Greece. Let's talk specifics.

Received by AUT:

From [ITA]: Austria, despite the recent tensions, I propose we re-establish our non-aggression pact. I will focus on securing Tunis, and I will not interfere with your expansion in the Balkans. Let us work together to maintain peace in the region.
From [TUR]: Greetings, Austria. I am moving A BUL to RUM. I hope this does not cause you concern. I am also moving A SYR to ARM. I am interested in discussing the Balkans further. Perhaps we can find a mutually beneficial arrangement.
From [RUS]: To all powers, Russia seeks stability in Eastern Europe. I am open to discussing non-aggression pacts and trade agreements. However, I will defend my borders and interests against any aggression. Let us strive for a peaceful and prosperous future.

Subround 2

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: ITA, I appreciate your offer to re-establish our non-aggression pact. However, I cannot ignore your continued interest in Trieste. I propose a different arrangement: I will support your move into Tunis and you will support my move into Greece. This benefits both of us more than a simple non-aggression pact.
To [TUR]: TUR, your move of A BUL to RUM is concerning, especially after your proposal to divide the Balkans. I am willing to discuss a mutually beneficial arrangement, but your current actions suggest otherwise. What are your intentions in Rumania? I need clarity before I can consider any further negotiations.
To [RUS]: RUS, your call for stability is appreciated, but your actions in Rumania contradict your words. I reiterate my offer: withdraw your fleet from the Black Sea, and I will not move into Rumania. This is a simple and direct path to de-escalation. Otherwise, I will be forced to take defensive measures.

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: AUT, your proposal is unacceptable. I will not withdraw my fleet from the Black Sea. My move into Rumania was a necessary measure to protect my interests. I suggest you focus on your own expansion and cease your aggressive moves in the Balkans. I consider our agreement broken.
From [ITA]: Austria, I am willing to discuss a trade. I will support your move into Greece if you support my move into Tunis. However, I must insist on Trieste. Perhaps we can negotiate a long-term agreement that benefits both of us. What are your specific plans for Greece?
From [TUR]: Greetings, Austria. I am moving A BUL to RUM and A SYR to ARM. I am still interested in discussing the Balkans. What specific revisions to my proposal would you find acceptable? I am willing to negotiate, but I need to understand your interests in Serbia and Greece more clearly. Let's find a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Subround 3

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: ITA, I am willing to finalize our trade agreement. I will support your move into Tunis, and you will support my move into Greece. However, I will not cede Trieste. If you agree to these terms, please confirm your support for my move into Greece this turn. Let's make this happen.
To [TUR]: TUR, your move into Rumania is unacceptable. I will not tolerate further encroachment into the Balkans. I am willing to discuss a revised proposal for dividing the Balkans, but only if you withdraw your forces from Rumania immediately. My specific interests are Serbia and Greece. What are your intentions now?
To [RUS]: RUS, your rejection of my offer is noted. However, I will not back down. I will defend my interests in the Balkans, and I will not allow you to dictate my actions. Consider this a final warning: withdraw your fleet from the Black Sea, or face the consequences. I am moving into Greece.

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: AUT, your threats are meaningless. I will not withdraw my fleet from the Black Sea. Rumania is under my control, and I will defend it. Cease your aggressive moves in the Balkans, or face the consequences. I consider our previous agreements null and void. Do not expect any further cooperation from Russia.
From [TUR]: Greetings, Austria. My move of A BUL to RUM is intended to secure my sphere of influence in the Balkans, as discussed. I am still open to discussing a mutually beneficial arrangement regarding Serbia and Greece. What specific concessions would you require to alleviate your concerns about my presence in Rumania? Let's find a compromise.
From [ITA]: Austria, I am willing to discuss a trade. I will support your move into Greece if you support my move into Tunis. However, I must insist on Trieste. Perhaps we can negotiate a long-term agreement that benefits both of us. What are your specific plans for Greece? I am moving A VEN to TRI.

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: AUT, your threats are empty. I will not withdraw from Rumania or the Black Sea. Your aggressive moves in the Balkans will be met with resistance. Consider this our final communication. Do not expect any further cooperation.
From [TUR]: Greetings, Austria. My move of A BUL to RUM is intended to secure my sphere of influence in the Balkans. I am still open to discussing a mutually beneficial arrangement regarding Serbia and Greece, but I will not withdraw from RUM. I am willing to offer concessions elsewhere in exchange for your recognition of my influence in RUM. Let's find a compromise.
From [ITA]: Austria, I am willing to finalize our trade agreement. I will support your move into Greece, and you will support my move into Tunis. However, I will not cede Trieste. If you agree to these terms, please confirm your support for my move into Tunis this turn. I am moving A VEN to TRI.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: In Fall 1901, I moved A TRI to SER and F ALB to ADR. I built A BUD in Winter 1901. I attempted to negotiate with RUS to withdraw from RUM and the Black Sea, but they refused and consider our agreements null. I negotiated with ITA for support in GRE in exchange for supporting their move to TUN, but they insist on TRI. I negotiated with TUR regarding the Balkans, but they moved into RUM, which I find unacceptable. I am moving A SER to GRE.
Intent: My primary goal is to expand into the Balkans, specifically Greece. I will support ITA's move into Tunis to secure their support for my move into Greece. I will resist TUR's encroachment into the Balkans and will consider further action depending on their response to my move into Greece. I will defend against RUS aggression. I will move A SER to GRE, A TRI to ALB, F ADR supports A TRI to ALB, A BUD supports A SER to GRE.

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: Italy, I am willing to offer support for your move into Tunis in exchange for your support in Greece. However, I cannot cede Trieste. Is there any other arrangement we can make to secure your support without giving up a core territory?
To [TUR]: Turkey, your encroachment into Rumania is unacceptable. I am willing to negotiate a division of the Balkans, but only if you withdraw from Rumania immediately. What are your terms for a mutually agreeable division?
To [RUS]: Russia, your aggression in Rumania is noted. I am willing to discuss a potential resolution to the conflict in the Balkans, but only if you cease your hostile actions against my territories. What are your conditions for a peaceful resolution?

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: To AUT, your aggressive moves in the Balkans are concerning. I see that you have taken SER. I will not tolerate further expansion into RUM. I suggest you reconsider your strategy in the region.
From [TUR]: Greetings, AUT. While our relations are strained, perhaps we can find a temporary understanding. I propose we avoid further conflict in the Balkans for this turn. I will hold SER, and you can hold ALB and GRE. What are your intentions for BUD?

Subround 2

Sent by AUT:

To [RUS]: RUS, your threats are noted, but I will not be intimidated. My presence in Serbia is non-negotiable. However, I am willing to discuss a potential compromise regarding Rumania. What specific concessions are you willing to offer in exchange for my withdrawal from Rumania in the future?
To [TUR]: TUR, I find your proposal for a temporary understanding unacceptable. I will not simply 'hold' ALB and GRE while you consolidate your gains in the Balkans. I demand a full withdrawal from Rumania and a clear commitment to non-interference in Greece. My intentions for BUD are to defend it. What are your intentions for SER?
To [ITA]: ITA, I understand your desire for Trieste, but it is a core territory and I cannot cede it. However, I am willing to offer significant economic concessions and military support in other areas in exchange for your support in Greece. What specific benefits would you require to make an alliance worthwhile, excluding Trieste?

Received by AUT:

From [TUR]: Greetings, AUT. I understand your concerns about RUM. However, I will not withdraw. I propose a different solution: I will support your move into GRE if you allow me to keep RUM and recognize my influence in BUL. This would create a stable balance in the Balkans. What do you say?
From [RUS]: To AUT, my move into RUM is non-negotiable. It is vital for my security. However, I am willing to discuss a potential resolution in the Balkans if you cease your aggressive expansion. What specific territories are you targeting, and what concessions are you willing to offer to maintain peace in the region? I am open to a limited agreement, but only if it benefits my strategic interests.

Subround 3

Sent by AUT:

To [TUR]: TUR, your proposal is insulting. I will not allow you to dictate terms in the Balkans. My position is clear: withdraw from Rumania and cease interference in Greece. In exchange, I will consider a non-aggression pact. Otherwise, consider us at war. What is your final offer?
To [RUS]: RUS, your insistence on holding Rumania is noted. However, I am willing to offer a compromise. I will not contest your presence in Rumania this turn if you support my move into Serbia next turn. This is a one-time offer. Do you accept?
To [ITA]: ITA, I am willing to offer you support for Tunis and guarantee your control of Albania in exchange for your support in Greece. This would give you a strong position in the Adriatic and secure your southern flank. Is this acceptable?

Received by AUT:

From [TUR]: Greetings, AUT. Your demands are unrealistic. I will not withdraw from RUM. However, I am willing to negotiate. I propose a non-aggression pact for the next two turns. I will not attack your units in ALB or GRE, and you will not attack my units in SER or RUM. This will give us both time to consolidate our positions. What do you say?
From [RUS]: To AUT, my position remains unchanged. RUM is non-negotiable. I am willing to discuss a potential resolution in the Balkans, but only if you cease your aggressive expansion. What specific territories are you targeting, and what concessions are you willing to offer to maintain peace in the region? I am open to a limited agreement, but only if it benefits my strategic interests. I will not withdraw from RUM.

Subround 4

Sent by AUT:

To [TUR]: TUR, your non-aggression pact is insufficient. I will not allow you to consolidate your gains. I am moving into Greece. Consider this your final warning.
To [RUS]: RUS, your intransigence is noted. I will not offer any further concessions. Prepare for conflict.
To [ITA]: ITA, I am moving into Greece. I will offer you Albania and support for Tunis in exchange for your support in the Adriatic. This is my final offer.

Received by AUT:

From [TUR]: Greetings, AUT. It seems we are at an impasse. I will not withdraw from RUM. Consider this my final offer: I will maintain my current position, and you can do the same. If you attack, I will retaliate. The choice is yours.
From [RUS]: To AUT, my position remains unchanged. RUM is non-negotiable. I will not support your move into SER. Your aggressive expansion in the Balkans is a threat to my interests, and I will resist it. I will move A SEV to RUM, A MOS to STP, F STP/SC to BAL, and A UKR to MOS.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: Moved A SER to GRE, A TRI to ALB, supported A TRI with F ADR. These moves were aggressive and aimed at expanding influence in the Balkans. Negotiations with TUR failed due to their refusal to withdraw from Rumania. Negotiations with RUS also failed due to their insistence on holding Rumania and their opposition to my expansion in the Balkans. Offered ITA Albania and support for Tunis in exchange for support in the Adriatic. No agreements were reached with any power.
Intent: My intent is to continue my aggressive expansion in the Balkans. I will move into Greece despite TUR's threats. I anticipate conflict with both TUR and RUS. I will attempt to secure ITA's support by offering them Albania and support for Tunis. I will move A ALB to SER, F ADR supports A ALB to SER, A GRE holds.

From [TUR]: AUT, I understand your concerns about RUM. However, I have secured it through strategic necessity. I am willing to discuss a division of influence in the Balkans.

From [TUR]: AUT, I understand your demand for RUM. However, withdrawing now would leave me vulnerable to RUS. I propose a compromise: I will support your move into SER this turn, and in return, you guarantee my control of BUL and do not attack RUM. This allows you to expand in the Balkans while securing my eastern flank. What do you say?
From [RUS]: Austria, your stubbornness will be your downfall. I will not withdraw from Rumania. I am prepared to defend my interests in the Balkans. Consider this your final warning. I suggest you reconsider your position before it is too late. Prepare for war.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: In Fall 1902, ALB supported holding. In Winter 1902, ALB, WAR, ANK, and CON bounced in the Balkans. MAR and NAP also bounced. I attempted to negotiate with ITA and TUR for control of the Balkans, offering concessions in exchange for their support. ITA demanded Trieste and Albania, which I refused. TUR offered a compromise involving Bulgaria, which I also rejected. RUS remained hostile and unwilling to negotiate. All negotiations failed, and ITA, RUS, and TUR are now openly hostile.
Intent: I intend to move aggressively into the Balkans, despite the opposition. I will move A BUD to SER, A TRI to ALB, and F ADR supports A TRI to ALB. I anticipate war with ITA, RUS, and TUR. I will focus on defending my territories and expanding my influence in the Balkans.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: In Fall 1903, I moved A TRI to TYR and F ADR to VEN, holding VIE. In Winter, I had no builds or disbandments. Negotiations this round were hostile. I attempted to deter ITA, RUS, and TUR from Balkan aggression, but all three powers rejected my demands and offers. ITA is fixated on Trieste. TUR refuses to cede Bulgaria or withdraw from Rumania. RUS is determined to secure its Balkan interests. No agreements were reached, and war seems inevitable with all three powers.
Intent: My intent is to prepare for war against ITA, RUS, and TUR. I will move A VIE to BOH, A TYR to MUN, and F ADR to ION to position myself for conflict. I anticipate ITA will attack Trieste, and I need to be ready to defend. I will also probe for weaknesses in RUS and TUR's positions.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: In S1904, I moved A VIE to BUD, A TYR to VIE, and F ADR to TRI. These moves were defensive, anticipating aggression from Italy, Russia, and Turkey. I aimed to consolidate my forces and protect my core territories. Negotiations this turn were largely unsuccessful. I engaged in hostile exchanges with Italy, Russia, and Turkey, all of whom I perceive as threats. Turkey offered a compromise but refused to withdraw from Rumania and Bulgaria. Russia remained aggressive and threatening. Italy's aggression in the Adriatic remains a primary concern. No agreements were reached, and the situation remains tense.
Intent: My intent is to defend Austria-Hungary against the encroaching powers of Italy, Russia, and Turkey. I will focus on consolidating my forces and preparing for war. I will continue to probe for weaknesses in my enemies' positions and exploit any opportunities that arise. I intend to move A BUD to SER, A VIE to RUM, and F TRI to ADR. These moves are designed to defend against Turkish and Russian aggression while maintaining a presence in the Adriatic.

Final Summary (AUT):

Italy insists on Trieste, offering Albania in return, which is unacceptable. Russia is moving into Rumania and refuses to withdraw. Turkey demands Rumania and offers Serbia, which is also unacceptable. All three powers are hostile and preparing for war.
Intent: Prepare for war against Italy, Russia, and Turkey. Defend Austrian territories and resist their aggression. No promises were made or broken, as no agreements were reached. I will order the following moves: A VIE S A BUD - SER A BUD - SER F ADR - ALB

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: Last turn was Fall 1905. No moves were made by AUT. TUR moved A SEV R ARM. ENG, FRA, RUS, and TUR made adjustments in Winter 1905. Negotiations this turn focused on the Balkans. I attempted to deter TUR and RUS from aggressive moves in the region, particularly in Rumania and Trieste. Both powers refused to back down and declared their intention to continue their expansion. ITA also declared war. No agreements were reached, and the situation has escalated to open conflict with ITA, TUR, and RUS.
Intent: My intent is to defend Austrian territories and resist Turkish and Russian expansion in the Balkans. I will move A VIE to TRI, A BUD to SER, and F ADR to ALB to defend against the expected Turkish attack on Trieste and to contest Serbia. I anticipate a difficult fight and will look for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the RUS-TUR alliance.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: In S1906, I moved A VIE to TRI, A BUD to SER, and F ADR to ALB. These moves were intended to secure my borders and exert influence in the Balkans. However, they have been met with hostility from Italy, Russia, and Turkey, who are all encroaching on my sphere of influence. I attempted to negotiate with Italy, Russia, and Turkey to de-escalate tensions in the Balkans. I offered Italy Trieste in exchange for peace and cooperation against Russia and Turkey, but Italy rejected my offer and declared war. I demanded that Russia and Turkey withdraw from Rumania and Serbia, but they refused and continued their aggression. All negotiations failed, and war is imminent with ITA, RUS, and TUR.
Intent: My intent is to defend Austria-Hungary from the aggression of Italy, Russia, and Turkey. I will move my forces to protect my borders and counter their advances. I will also seek alliances with other powers to contain Russia and Turkey in the Balkans. I will attempt to hold TRI against ITA. I will attempt to dislodge RUS from RUM. I will attempt to contain TUR in SER and ALB. I will consider an alliance with GER or FRA if they are willing to support my efforts.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: In Fall 1906, I moved A BUD to SER and F ADR to VEN, attempting to secure the Balkans. Italy moved aggressively into Austrian territory, while Turkey also advanced into the region. Russia remained passive. In Winter 1906, Russia ordered A WAR to disband. Negotiations this round were a complete failure. I attempted to assert Austrian dominance in the Balkans, demanding that Italy, Russia, and Turkey withdraw their forces. All three powers refused and issued counter-threats. No agreements were reached, and the situation has deteriorated into open hostility with all three powers.
Intent: Given the failure of negotiations and the aggressive moves by Italy and Turkey, my immediate priority is to defend Austrian territory. I will attempt to dislodge the Turkish unit from Trieste and contain Italian advances. I will also prepare for potential conflict with Russia in the east. I will move A VIE to TRI, A BUD to SER, and F ADR to VEN.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: In Fall 1907, I moved A VIE to BOH, A BUD to RUM, and F ADR to TRI. In Winter, I ordered A BOH to disband. My moves were largely unsuccessful, as I failed to gain any ground and faced setbacks in the Balkans. I attempted to negotiate with GER for a joint effort against FRA, offering support for an attack on MUN. I tried to negotiate with RUS for a truce and a division of the Balkans, but RUS rejected all offers and continued their aggression. I offered ITA ALB in exchange for TRI and a non-aggression pact, but received no commitment. I also attempted to negotiate with TUR, offering to cede SER if they withdrew from RUM, but this was also unsuccessful. No promises were made or broken, as no agreements were reached.
Intent: Given the failure of negotiations and the continued aggression from RUS and TUR, my primary objective is to defend my territories and consolidate my position. I will move A BUD to BOH to defend against potential attacks from GER or FRA. I will move F ADR to TRI to defend against ITA. I will support my units as best as possible.

From [TUR]: Austria, your offer is insulting. I will not withdraw from Serbia and Albania. I am moving A ALB to SER, A ARM to SEV, and F AEG to CON. Prepare for war. My final offer is Trieste, Dalmatia, and Galicia for peace. Otherwise, I will continue to expand into your territory.
From [RUS]: AUT, your demise is imminent. There is no escape. Prepare to be crushed.

Subround 4

Sent by AUT:

To [ITA]: Italy, this is my final offer: I will cede Albania to you. In return, you must withdraw from Trieste and agree to a non-aggression pact. This is the best you will get. Consider it carefully.
To [TUR]: Turkey, your demands are outrageous. I will not cede any more territory. I propose a simple truce: we both maintain our current borders and cease hostilities. This is the only reasonable path forward. If you refuse, prepare for a long and bloody war.
To [GER]: Germany, France's expansion is a clear and present danger to both of us. I am willing to offer you Bohemia and support in Munich in exchange for a formal alliance and coordinated action against France. Let's discuss specific moves and objectives to contain this threat before it's too late. This is my final offer.

Received by AUT:

From [RUS]: AUT, your end is near. Prepare to be swept aside. Your resistance is futile.
From [TUR]: Austria, your truce offer is rejected. I am moving A ALB to SER, A ARM to SEV, A SER to BUL, and F AEG to CON. Prepare for war. My final offer remains: Trieste, Dalmatia, and Galicia for peace. Otherwise, I will continue to expand into your territory. This is your last chance.

Final Summary (AUT):

Journal Summary: Supported BUD with ADR. ADR moved to TRI. All other powers made various moves, mostly consolidating or positioning for further conflict. FRA built a fleet in BRE. Negotiated with ITA and TUR, but both demanded Trieste, which I refused. Offered ITA Albania for a non-aggression pact. Offered TUR a truce based on current borders. Both offers were rejected. Attempted to form an alliance with GER against FRA, offering Bohemia and support in Munich, but received no commitment. RUS sent threats.
Intent: Maintain current position. Focus on defense against TUR and RUS. Attempt to probe GER for future alliance opportunities. Prepare for a long war. No moves this turn.

From [ITA]: Austria, your offer of Albania is tempting, but I need more. I propose a non-aggression pact and your support for my expansion into Greece in exchange for Trieste. This would allow us to focus on our mutual enemies, Turkey and Russia. What do you say?

ITA demanded too much and ultimately rejected my final offer, declaring war and moving to take Trieste. TUR was unwilling to compromise on Serbia. RUS sent threats and refused to negotiate.
Intent: Given ITA's aggression, my priority is to defend TRI. I will attempt to coordinate with GER against FRA. I will also try to open a dialogue with ENG, seeking an alliance against FRA and ITA. I will prepare for a long war against ITA and RUS. I will move F VEN to ADR to defend against ITA.
