Negotiations / Dialogues

Subround 1
Sent by AUT:
  • To [ITA]: Greetings from Vienna. I suggest a DMZ in Tyrolia and assurance that neither of us intrudes on Trieste or Venice. I’m keen for a southern expansion and would prefer we cooperate rather than clash. Let’s keep the peace between us while we look for gains elsewhere.
  • To [RUS]: Friend of the north, I propose we keep Galicia empty to prevent early friction. A DMZ there frees us both to focus on more profitable directions. Let me know your thoughts on forging a stable eastern relationship.
  • To [TUR]: Sultan, I offer a cordial understanding: you take Bulgaria while I move to Serbia and, hopefully soon, Greece as well. If we avoid conflict in the Balkans, we can both profit. Let’s keep a channel open for cooperation.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, Russia is interested in understanding your intentions in the Balkans. We believe that cooperation between our nations could be mutually beneficial in preventing other powers from gaining influence in the region. What are your goals?
  • From [GER]: To Austria and Italy, Germany proposes a discussion regarding the Balkans. We believe a coordinated approach to maintaining stability in the region is crucial. Let us explore potential areas of cooperation and prevent any unilateral actions that could destabilize the region. What are your interests in the Balkans?
  • From [ITA]: Austria, Italy seeks a peaceful resolution to tensions in the Adriatic. We propose a mutual guarantee of borders. Italy will not move against Trieste if Austria does not move against Venice. This will allow us both to focus on other threats. Do you agree to this proposal?
  • From [TUR]: Greetings, Austria. I wish to establish a dialogue regarding our shared border. I am concerned about your growing influence in the Balkans. I propose we maintain the status quo for the time being and avoid any actions that could destabilize the region. What are your intentions regarding Serbia and Greece?
Subround 2
Sent by AUT:
  • To [RUS]: Russia, let’s confirm we keep Galicia clear. I intend to focus on Serbia and Greece, not infringing to the north or east, and I respectfully suggest you do the same with your units so we avoid collisions. I’m open to mutual cooperation for mutual gain.
  • To [ITA]: Italy, I gladly accept your proposal for border peace: no moves on Venice or Trieste, plus a DMZ in Tyrolia. I plan to secure Serbia and possibly Greece, so I’d prefer we remain friendly neighbors while you pursue your interests in the west.
  • To [TUR]: Sultan, I will be moving toward Serbia and likely eye Greece soon. I welcome your growth in Bulgaria; let’s not stand in each other’s way. There is no reason for friction if we respect these spheres and keep an open line of communication.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, we appreciate your offer to keep Galicia empty. However, we are more interested in understanding your long-term goals in the Balkans. What territories do you seek to control? We are willing to consider a stable eastern relationship, but we need to understand your ambitions first. Are you willing to cede influence in Rumania to Russia?
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I accept your proposal for a DMZ in Tyrolia and a guarantee of borders. Italy will not move against Trieste, and you will not move against Venice. This will allow us both to expand elsewhere. I suggest we publicly announce this agreement to deter any potential aggressors. Do you agree to this public announcement?
  • From [TUR]: Austria, your offer to divide the Balkans is tempting, but I am wary of your ambitions in Serbia and Greece. I am willing to consider an agreement where I secure Bulgaria, but I need assurances that you will not encroach further into Ottoman territories or interests. What guarantees can you provide?
  • From [GER]: To Austria and Italy, regarding the Balkans, Germany proposes a joint strategy. We believe Austria should have primary influence in Serbia and Romania, while Italy focuses on Greece and Albania. Germany will act as a mediator and guarantor of stability. This division of influence will prevent conflict and ensure a peaceful region. Let's discuss the details.
Subround 3
Sent by AUT:
  • To [RUS]: Russia, if you seek Rumania, I can respect that claim so long as Galicia remains free and you maintain a light touch on our shared border. I aim to secure Serbia and Greece, nothing more eastward. Let’s ensure we stay out of each other’s way for mutual gain.
  • To [ITA]: Italy, I agree to a public announcement of our border pact. Declaring a DMZ in Tyrolia and guaranteeing Trieste-Venice neutrality will deter distractions and let us focus elsewhere. Let’s finalize that publicly, and then each pursue our expansions with peace of mind.
  • To [TUR, GER]: Sultan and Chancellor, I appreciate Germany’s role in the Balkans. A fair balance would see Austria taking Serbia and Greece, and Turkey holding Bulgaria, with no further Austrian incursions eastward. This ensures regional stability under Berlin’s friendly guidance.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, we acknowledge your intention to focus on Serbia and Greece. Russia will focus on Rumania and Turkey. We propose a non-aggression pact to avoid conflicts in the Balkans. We will keep Galicia clear, as you requested. Do you agree to these terms?
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I am glad we have reached an agreement on the Adriatic. I propose we publicly announce our agreement to deter any potential aggressors. This will strengthen our position and allow us to focus on other threats. Do you agree to this public announcement?
  • From [TUR]: Austria, I am concerned about your intentions in Serbia and Greece. I am willing to consider an agreement where I secure Bulgaria, but I need assurances that you will not encroach further into Ottoman territories or interests. What guarantees can you provide? I need something concrete.
  • From [GER]: To Austria and Italy, regarding the Balkans, we need to move beyond generalities. Austria, are you willing to commit to non-aggression towards Russia in exchange for German support in Serbia? Italy, can you guarantee that your focus on Greece and Albania will not destabilize the region or threaten Austrian interests? Germany is prepared to mediate, but we need concrete commitments from both of you.
Subround 4
Sent by AUT:
  • To [RUS]: Russia, I confirm a non-aggression pact and respect your claim to Rumania. Let Galicia remain empty, and I will focus on Serbia and Greece exclusively. May our eastern border stay calm as we each pursue our rightful gains.
  • To [TUR]: Sultan, to allay your concerns: I promise not to advance on Bulgaria. My focus is strictly on Serbia and Greece, leaving Ottoman territories unthreatened. Let us maintain friendly ties and keep the Balkans stable.
  • To [ITA, GER]: Italy and Germany, I will publicly affirm the Tyrolia DMZ with Italy and guarantee no aggression against Venice or Trieste. Further, I pledge no hostilities against Russia, in exchange for German goodwill in the Balkans. Let us uphold this cooperative framework for a secure region.
Received by AUT:
  • From [TUR]: Austria, I am moving to Bulgaria. I expect you to stay out of my way. I will not tolerate any encroachment on Ottoman territories or interests. Consider this your final warning.
  • From [GER]: To Austria and Italy, it seems we are at an impasse. Austria, your ambitions are too broad. Italy, your guarantees are insufficient. Germany will proceed with its own plans to ensure stability in the Balkans. Do not interfere.
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, we will respect your claim to Serbia and Greece. We will focus on Rumania. We will keep Galicia clear and maintain a light touch on our shared border. We will move A WAR to MOS to show our commitment to a non-aggressive stance.
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I am pleased we agree. Let's publicly announce our agreement regarding the DMZ in Tyrolia and the guarantee of Trieste-Venice neutrality. This will deter any potential aggressors and allow us to focus on our respective expansions. I will announce this publicly.

Final Summary (AUT):

  • Journal Summary: Talks centered on securing border pacts with ITA and RUS to focus on the Balkans. We confirmed a DMZ with ITA in Tyrolia and agreed to leave Galicia empty with RUS. TUR demanded no interference in Bulgaria, while GER criticized our Balkan ambitions. Overall, we aim for Serbia and Greece, ensuring minimal friction to our north and west while watching GER’s meddling and TUR’s warnings.

Sent by AUT:
  • To [ITA]: Greetings friend in Rome! I propose we maintain our good understanding by respecting the Tyrolia–Trieste border and letting me secure Greece this autumn. Your fleet in ION can focus westward instead, allowing us both to expand without clashing. If we keep our mutual trust, we will profit greatly in the seasons to come.
  • To [RUS]: Esteemed compatriots in Moscow, I suggest we continue our cordial ties by upholding a DMZ in Galicia. I am wary of Germany’s maneuvers, so your cooperation would be greatly appreciated should they stray too far east. Together, we can ensure stability and discourage any opportunistic moves from Berlin.
  • To [TUR]: Neighbors in Ankara, I see no reason for direct conflict if we both respect each other’s claims in the Balkans. I intend to move into Greece peacefully without threatening Bulgaria. Let us keep the peace between us, for there are better opportunities elsewhere than fighting one another.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, I am moving A WAR to MOS. This is not a threat to you, but a consolidation of my forces. I expect you to respect our agreement regarding Serbia and Greece. I will be watching your moves closely.
  • From [TUR]: Greetings Austria, I am moving to secure Bulgaria. I trust you will not interfere with my sphere of influence in the Balkans. I advise you to focus your efforts elsewhere. What are your intentions in Serbia and Greece?

Sent by AUT:
  • To [RUS]: Your planned move from WAR to MOS is welcomed. Let’s keep Galicia clear and maintain our cordial frontier while I turn south to secure Greece. If Germany grows too bold, our shared vigilance can keep them in check.
  • To [ITA]: Our non-aggression pact stands firm. I have no designs on your territory and trust your respect of Tyrolia as a DMZ. I plan to move my fleet from Albania to Greece this turn; I ask that your Ionian Fleet not interfere so we can both expand peacefully.
  • To [TUR]: I acknowledge your sphere in Bulgaria and wish to avoid any clash in the Balkans. I aim to move into Greece without threatening your position. Let us keep the peace and focus on more fruitful opportunities than battling each other.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, I appreciate your concern about Germany. However, I have an agreement with them. I will not agree to a DMZ in Galicia. My A UKR will remain there. I suggest you focus on your own interests in the Balkans. I expect you to respect our agreement regarding Serbia and Greece.
  • From [TUR]: Greetings Austria, I appreciate your assurance that you will not interfere with my sphere of influence in the Balkans. However, I must reiterate that any move into Greece will be viewed with suspicion. I suggest you focus your efforts elsewhere, perhaps against Italy. What are your intentions in Tyrolia?
Subround 3
Sent by AUT:
  • To [RUS]: I understand your reluctance about a DMZ in Galicia. My focus remains on securing Greece and stabilizing the Balkans. As long as you do not interfere there, I will respect our frontier. Let us keep the peace and remain vigilant against German expansion.
  • To [TUR]: I assure you my move to Greece is neither hostile nor encroaching on Bulgaria. Securing Greece is a natural step for Austria, and I prefer to avoid contention along our shared borders. I urge you to see reason and channel our energies toward more pressing concerns than Balkan squabbles.
  • To [ITA]: We have both committed to non-aggression, and I trust your presence in Tyrol is purely protective. My intentions lie southward, aiming for Greece, not toward Venice. Let us keep our border quiet so we may each grow without needless conflicts.
Received by AUT:
  • From [TUR]: Greetings Austria, I am moving to Bulgaria. I reiterate my warning against any move into Greece. I suggest you focus your efforts elsewhere. I am watching your movements in Tyrolia closely. Do not test my resolve.

Subround 4
Sent by AUT:
  • To [TUR]: I hear your caution about Greece, but my intent is only peaceful expansion. Fighting over such a small gain will only distract us from larger threats. Let us not drift into unnecessary conflict when cooperation serves us both better.
  • To [ITA]: I trust Tyrolia remains purely defensive. My fleet heads to Greece, and I ask that you keep the Ionian Sea clear so we can both expand without clashing. Our mutual friendship is worth far more than a contested Balkan shore.
  • To [RUS]: I note your decision on Galicia and respect it. My focus stays in the Balkans, not on challenging you. Let us guard our respective fronts while watching Germany’s moves, so neither of us is caught off guard.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, I appreciate your vigilance regarding Germany, but I have an agreement with them. I will not agree to a DMZ in Galicia. Focus on Greece.

  • From [TUR]: Greetings Austria, I am moving to Bulgaria. I reiterate my warning against any move into Greece. I am watching your movements closely. I suggest you focus your efforts elsewhere. Do not test my resolve. I will not hesitate to defend my interests in the Balkans.

Final Summary (AUT):

  • Journal Summary: We reaffirmed our non-aggression pact with ITA and plan to move our fleet to GRE. TUR remains wary of any moves into Greece, but we intend to focus on peaceful Balkan expansion. RUS will not demilitarize Galicia, though we remain cordial as we both watch GER’s possible eastward push. We maintain a friendly stance toward ITA, are cautious with TUR, and seek to avoid conflict while securing our southern flank.
  • Intent: Our goal is to move into Greece, uphold our understandings with ITA and RUS, and carefully manage TUR’s hostility. We will stay vigilant of GER’s eastern intentions and avoid unnecessary conflict unless provoked.

Subround 1
Sent by AUT:
  • To [ITA]: Salutations, friend. Let us keep Tyrolia and Trieste peaceful while you focus your forces elsewhere. I have no wish for conflict between our nations and will gladly stand together if Turkey becomes belligerent. Please let me know if you’re amenable to continued cooperation and a united defense.
  • To [RUS]: Greetings. I value our understanding and would like to keep tensions low along our frontier. If you could shift your army in Galicia away from our border, it would solidify trust between us. I am open to mutual support should Turkey grow too adventurous in the Balkans. Your thoughts?
  • To [TUR]: Hello. I see your forces extending into the Balkans. I prefer avoiding a clash if we can find a workable boundary—perhaps a clear DMZ around Bulgaria. If we can settle a stable border, we both can focus on more immediate concerns elsewhere. Let me know your stance, and we can negotiate a friendly outcome.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I value our non-aggression pact. However, your move into Albania is concerning. Can you clarify your intentions in the Balkans? I want to ensure our agreement remains mutually beneficial and that no misunderstandings arise. I am open to discussing further guarantees to maintain stability in the region.
  • From [TUR]: Austria, I must warn you against any aggressive moves into Greece or Serbia. The Balkans are of vital interest to the Ottoman Empire, and any encroachment will be met with strong resistance. I suggest we maintain a neutral stance.
  • From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I am moving A WAR to MOS. I hope this does not cause you any concern. I am focused on the south and do not wish to interfere with your interests in SER and GRE. Let's maintain our current understanding and avoid any unnecessary conflicts.
Subround 2
Sent by AUT:
  • To [ITA]: My friend, the move to Albania is simply to secure our position against Turkish encroachment. I have no designs on your territory, and I reaffirm our desire to keep Trieste–Tyrolia quiet. If you seek additional assurances, let me know how we can best cooperate to maintain stability.
  • To [TUR]: I understand your concerns, yet Greece and Serbia are firmly in Austrian hands, and we do not wish to see those territories contested. Let us formalize a stable boundary: we stay out of Bulgaria if you refrain from moving against Greece or Serbia. A clear demarcation should keep tensions low and benefit us both.
  • To [RUS]: Thank you for the update. Your shifting of A WAR to MOS is a reassuring sign of good faith. I remain committed to our understanding and will keep a watchful eye on Turkish moves in the south. If you see cause for joint action, let me know and we can coordinate accordingly.
Received by AUT:
  • From [TUR]: Austria, I appreciate your willingness to avoid conflict. A DMZ around Bulgaria is not acceptable. The Balkans are vital to my interests. I propose we maintain the status quo and avoid any aggressive moves. I will resist any encroachment on Ottoman territories.
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your willingness to maintain peace in Tyrolia and Trieste. However, your move into Greece is concerning. Can you provide assurances that your intentions are not hostile towards Italian interests in the Adriatic? I propose a meeting to discuss further guarantees and solidify our non-aggression pact.
  • From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I understand your concern regarding Galicia. However, I must maintain a presence there to ensure the security of my southern territories. I am willing to discuss a mutual withdrawal if you are willing to offer concessions elsewhere. Perhaps we can discuss a joint guarantee of Bulgarian neutrality to counter Turkish expansionism?
Subround 3
Sent by AUT:
  • To [ITA]: Friend, rest assured that my moves in Greece aim to deter Turkish aggression and not threaten your Adriatic interests. I propose we solidify our non-aggression pact by agreeing to mutually avoid hostile actions in the Adriatic and Tyrolia. Let us maintain trust so we can both focus on containing any destabilizing forces elsewhere.
  • To [RUS]: Your suggestion of a joint stance regarding Bulgarian neutrality has merit. While I understand your need to keep a presence in Galicia, I hope we can keep any build-up there minimal. I am prepared to work with you on countering any Turkish push into the Balkans, provided we uphold a spirit of mutual restraint and shared interests.
  • To [TUR]: Since a full DMZ in Bulgaria does not appeal to you, I remain open to other boundaries that preserve our respective holdings without sparking conflict. My intent in Greece and Serbia is purely defensive, yet I will protect them fiercely if threatened. Let us keep the region stable by defining lines we do not cross, to our mutual benefit.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your assurances regarding Albania. However, I remain concerned about your intentions in Greece. To solidify our non-aggression pact, I propose a formal agreement guaranteeing the neutrality of the Adriatic Sea. I am willing to offer similar guarantees for Tyrolia and Trieste. What are your thoughts?
  • From [TUR]: Austria, I cannot accept your terms regarding Greece and Serbia. The Balkans are of vital interest to me. I propose we maintain the status quo for now, but I will not hesitate to defend my interests if you encroach further. I suggest you focus on Italy.
  • From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I appreciate your commitment to our understanding. I am willing to discuss a joint guarantee of Bulgarian neutrality. I propose we also discuss a mutual defense pact to protect our interests in the Balkans from Turkish aggression. I am willing to offer concessions elsewhere if you are willing to support my efforts to secure Rumania.

  • To [ITA]: Italy, I value your partnership and reaffirm that Greece is not intended as a threat against you. I accept your proposal for a formal Adriatic neutrality and will refrain from any moves into Tyrolia or against your fleets. Let us maintain this accord so we can jointly manage any Turkish or other hostile advances.
  • To [TUR]: Turkey, I hear your refusal regarding Bulgaria, yet I remain intent on safeguarding Greece and Serbia. I propose we keep our existing borders to prevent needless conflict. As long as you respect our holdings, we have no cause to clash. Let us not squander our strength in a Balkan stalemate when there are other opportunities to pursue.
  • To [RUS]: Russia, I agree a joint guarantee of Bulgarian neutrality benefits us both, and I am open to working together in the Balkans. I’m ready to support you if you secure Rumania, assuming you reciprocate by keeping Galicia calm. Let us coordinate to contain Turkish aggression and solidify our alliance going forward.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your assurances regarding Albania and Greece. To solidify our non-aggression pact, I am moving A PIE to VEN. This is not an aggressive move, but a defensive one to protect against any unforeseen circumstances. I hope you understand.
  • From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I appreciate your willingness to work with me on countering Turkish aggression in the Balkans. I am willing to support your interests in Serbia and Greece if you support my efforts to secure Rumania. Let's coordinate our efforts to ensure a stable and secure future for the region. I will continue to monitor Turkish moves closely.
  • From [TUR]: Austria, I cannot accept your terms regarding Greece and Serbia. I will defend my interests in the Balkans. I suggest you focus on Italy and avoid any aggressive moves towards Ottoman territories. I will not hesitate to respond if you encroach further.

Final Summary (AUT):

  • Journal Summary: Negotiations were dominated by tensions over the Balkans. TUR refused to accept any arrangement in Bulgaria or recognize AUT’s holdings in Greece and Serbia, taking a hard line. ITA maintained a friendly stance, agreeing to Adriatic neutrality and mutual non-aggression, though they remain cautious. RUS suggested working together to contain TUR, offering support in exchange for help with Rumania and general restraint in Galicia. Overall, AUT is leaning toward closer cooperation with RUS and ITA while preparing to defend against potential Turkish aggression.
  • Intent: Forge a stronger alliance with RUS to counter TUR in the Balkans while preserving peace with ITA. Maintain a defensive posture in Greece and Serbia, ready to repel any Ottoman incursion. Continue to nurture cooperation with ITA to secure the Adriatic and Tyrolia. Watch TUR carefully for signs of further hostility and respond firmly if threatened.

Subround 2
Sent by AUT:

  • To [TUR]: I respect your sovereignty, but Greece and Serbia lie solidly under my protection. If you truly desire peace, propose a clear boundary that respects our holdings. Continued threats will only push me to fortify my positions further and coordinate with those who share concern over Ottoman expansion.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: AUT, I am glad to hear you are willing to work with me against Turkey. I am focused on securing RUM. I propose a coordinated attack: I will move into Turkey from the East, while you pressure them from the West. What specific support do you need to secure Serbia and Greece? I can offer support for your moves into Serbia, but I need assurances that you will not interfere with my operations in RUM.
  • From [TUR]: Your threats are noted, but they are unlikely to deter me. I am moving to secure my interests in the Balkans. I suggest you reconsider your aggressive stance in Greece and Serbia. I am open to discussing boundaries, but only if you are willing to negotiate in good faith and respect Ottoman interests. What specific concessions are you willing to offer?
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your reassurance. My move to TYR is merely a probe of GER and does not violate our non-aggression pact. However, I am concerned about your expansion into the Balkans, especially Greece and Serbia. I propose a DMZ in the Adriatic to ease tensions. What are your thoughts?
Subround 3
Sent by AUT:
  • To [RUS]: Honored Tsar, let us finalize our plan to contain Turkey. I will hold Bulgaria and Greece while you secure Rumania and strike from the East. If you can occupy their Black Sea forces, I will ensure the Balkans remain locked down. Together, we can squeeze the Ottomans from both sides.
  • To [TUR]: Sultan, I will not concede Serbia or Greece, but I am open to a stable frontier. If you genuinely desire peace, let us agree neither side will advance into my Western Balkans nor threaten the coastline near Bulgaria. Offer a concrete boundary, and we can avoid further escalation.
  • To [ITA]: My friend, I accept a DMZ in the Adriatic. Neither of us needs a naval buildup there while our interests align. My armies focus only on securing the Balkans against Turkey, so you need not fear aggression from me. May our cordial understanding continue to profit us both.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your understanding. My move to TYR is merely a probe of GER. I propose a DMZ in the Adriatic to ease tensions. I am concerned about your expansion into the Balkans. I will not move on Trieste if you do not move on Venice. Do we have an understanding?

Let's discuss specifics.

  • To [ITA]: My friend in Rome, I confirm a DMZ in the Adriatic to keep our seas calm. I have no designs on Venice, and I appreciate your pledge not to move on Trieste. Let us respect these mutual boundaries so we both can focus on more pressing matters elsewhere.
  • To [TUR]: Sultan, our possession of Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria stands firm. If you truly desire peace, acknowledge these holdings and propose a genuine boundary that respects our sovereignties. Otherwise, my cooperation with Russia will only intensify, and Turkey will find itself outflanked on all sides.
Received by AUT:
  • From [RUS]: AUT, I am securing RUM. I will strike Turkey from the East next turn. I need your support in the Balkans. I will occupy their Black Sea forces. Can you ensure the Balkans remain locked down? Let's coordinate our moves to squeeze the Ottomans from both sides.

We have reaffirmed our alliance with RUS: we will lock down Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia while they strike from the east. ITA agreed to a DMZ in the Adriatic, easing concerns around Trieste and Venice. TUR demanded concessions and proposed a neutral Bulgaria, but we stood firm. We plan to cooperate with RUS and maintain trust with ITA while countering TUR’s aggression.
  • Intent: Fortify Balkan holdings, coordinate with RUS to pressure TUR on both fronts, honor DMZ with ITA, and hold firm against TUR’s demands.

Subround 1
Sent by AUT:
  • To [RUS]: We stand ready to coordinate against TUR while honoring our DMZ in Galicia. If you push from RUM, we will hold Bulgaria firmly and can offer naval support in the Aegean. Let us solidify this partnership and ensure the Sultanate’s days in the Balkans are numbered.
  • To [ITA]: Our pact stands firm: we respect the Adriatic DMZ and have no designs on your peninsula. Would you consider joining forces against Turkey or lending indirect support if conflict arises? Let’s maintain our trust and cooperatively secure our borders.
  • To [TUR]: Your aggressive stance in the Balkans leaves us no choice but to prepare for conflict. We are open to a peaceful solution if you stop expanding into Bulgaria’s orbit, but if you continue provoking us, we will unite with others to curtail your ambitions.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I want to reaffirm our non-aggression pact. I am moving A TYR to BOH to support you in MUN. I hope this demonstrates my commitment to our agreement. I am also building an army in Venice to defend against any threats. What are your intentions in Greece?
  • From [TUR]: To Austria, I am moving into Bulgaria. This is a direct response to your continued encroachment in the Balkans. I advise you to reconsider your position in Greece and Serbia, as further expansion will be met with strong resistance. I suggest we find a diplomatic solution to avoid further escalation.

Subround 2
Sent by AUT:
  • To [ITA]: Your stance in Tyrolia reassures our mutual trust. We intend to keep Greece solely for strategic defense against Turkish aggression and have no designs on Italian soil. If possible, any indirect pressure you can apply to TUR would help. Let’s stand united in the Adriatic and maintain our friendly border.
  • To [TUR]: We hold Bulgaria and will defend it. A peaceful settlement requires you to stand down and respect our position. Should you persist in pressing into the Balkans, we will join with RUS and any others necessary to repel your expansion.
  • To [RUS]: We welcome coordinated action against TUR. While we hold Bulgaria and reinforce Greece, your pressure from RUM can clamp down on their attempts to advance. Together, we ensure TUR’s Balkan encroachments are decisively contained.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I appreciate your reassurance. I am moving A TYR to BOH to support you in MUN. I am also building an army in Venice to defend against any threats.

  • From [RUS]: Greetings, AUT. I am pleased to hear of your readiness to coordinate against TUR. I propose a coordinated attack on TUR this turn. I will move A MOS to RUM and F SEV to BLA to retake RUM. Can you support me by moving A BUL to SER and F AEG to GRE? This will put significant pressure on TUR and secure our positions in the Balkans. I will keep Galicia calm.
  • From [TUR]: To Austria, my move into Bulgaria is a direct response to your continued encroachment in the Balkans. I am willing to negotiate a peaceful solution, but only if you withdraw from Greece and Serbia. Further expansion will be met with strong resistance.

  • From [ITA]: Austria, I propose a temporary truce. Let's cease hostilities for the moment and focus on other threats. I will hold Trieste, and you will hold your current positions. No further aggression from either side this turn. Do you agree?
  • From [RUS]: AUT, the situation in the Balkans remains critical. I intend to retake SEV and RUM. I will move A UKR to SEV and F SEV to BLA. Can you support this by moving A BUD to RUM and A TRI to SER? This coordinated effort will cripple TUR.

  • To [ITA]: I accept your offer of a temporary truce if you truly hold Trieste and stand down in Tyrolia. I will not advance on your positions this turn, provided you do the same. We both stand to benefit from focusing elsewhere rather than bleeding each other in the Balkans or the Alps.
  • To [RUS]: Your proposed plan is excellent. I will move A BUD to RUM to support your thrust on SEV and have A TRI shift to SER, aligning perfectly with our shared objective of overwhelming TUR. Let us continue forward in lockstep until we have broken the Ottoman threat entirely.
  • To [TUR]: Your demands are untenable. We hold Bulgaria and Constantinople with no intention of withdrawing. If you wish to avoid total collapse, you must accept the new reality. Continue to resist and we will drive your forces from all remaining strongholds in the Balkans.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I agree to a DMZ in Tyrolia and will respect your sphere in the Balkans for now. However, I cannot guarantee the Adriatic will remain calm indefinitely. I will hold Trieste this turn as promised. Let's see if we can find a way to coexist peacefully, but know that my ambitions extend beyond Italy.
  • From [TUR]: Your arrogance is astounding. I will not yield to your demands. I am moving to retake Bulgaria and will continue to challenge your presence in the Balkans. Prepare for war. I will use the straits to my advantage.

  • To [ITA]: I acknowledge your ambition and your acceptance of the DMZ in Tyrolia. Let us hold our current positions this turn and avoid unnecessary hostilities. It benefits us both to focus attention elsewhere, and if you honor your word by keeping Trieste peaceful, I will reciprocate with continued restraint.
  • To [RUS]: Our plan stands: A BUL to CON with F AEG support, while I move A BUD to RUM. Your moves from UKR and SEV will seal Turkey’s fate. With our forces aligned, Turkey cannot withstand the combined blow. Once this is done, we will coordinate our builds and remain vigilant regarding Italy’s potential shift.
  • To [TUR]: Your vow to retake Bulgaria only cements our resolve. Our alliance with Russia grows stronger, and we have no intention of relinquishing any foothold in the Balkans. If you persist in hostility, our united armies will drive you fully out of Europe. The time for compromise is closing swiftly.
Received by AUT:
  • From [ITA]: Austria, I will hold Trieste and maintain the DMZ in Tyrolia this turn. However, I must be frank: my ambitions extend beyond this temporary truce. Do not mistake my current restraint for weakness. I suggest you focus on your problems in the East, as I will be focusing on the West.
  • From [RUS]: AUT, excellent! I am glad to see our plans align perfectly. I am moving A RUM to SEV and F SEV to BLA. I expect A BUL to CON supported by F AEG. Let's coordinate our builds next turn. I will build F SEV. What are your build plans?

  • To [ITA]: I acknowledge our temporary truce. I will refrain from pressing into Trieste or Tyrolia, so long as you maintain the DMZ and stay out of my holdings. We both can gain elsewhere without clashing. May our calm border hold, ensuring we can direct our forces toward more pressing threats.
  • To [TUR]: Your refusal to yield only strengthens our resolve. My forces move on Constantinople and beyond, in concert with Russia’s advance. Should you persist in this futile struggle, your empire will fall. This is your final warning—accept reality, or watch your positions crumble under our alliance.

  • From [ITA]: Austria, I will hold Trieste and maintain the DMZ in Tyrolia this turn. Do not expect this to last. I am merely biding my time.

Final Summary (AUT):

  • Journal Summary: We solidified our alliance with RUS to break TUR by seizing Constantinople and supporting each other into the Black Sea and surrounding territories. We agreed to a temporary truce with ITA involving a DMZ in Tyrolia and no expansion into each other’s current positions. TUR remains hostile and refuses to yield, solidifying our resolve to crush its remaining holdings. Negotiations with other powers were minimal but did not shift our broader objectives.
  • Intent: Push into TUR’s centers (CON, SEV, RUM) in coordination with RUS while maintaining a cautious armistice with ITA.

Otherwise, I will be forced to defend my interests in the Balkans. I am moving A TRI to SER to challenge your dominance.
  • From [TUR]: Austria, your time in CON and BUL is over. I am coming to reclaim what is rightfully mine. Prepare to face the consequences of your aggression. There will be no further warnings.

  • To [RUS]: We reiterate that we do not occupy Sevastopol and cannot assist your suggested move there. Our forces in ARM will push on ANK with support from AEG, continuing our shared goal of eradicating Turkey. Once Turkey collapses, we can finalize a secure, fair boundary that cements our alliance and avoids further misunderstandings.
  • To [FRA]: We welcome your offensive against Germany and confirm we will maintain pressure from our eastern flank to strain their defenses. We plan to hold MUN firmly with our armies and stand ready to coordinate any supportive actions that help you regain your territories and break GER’s lines swiftly.
  • To [ITA]: We cannot withdraw from Serbia and Greece, as they are essential for our security, but we still believe in a practical DMZ for Tyrolia and the Adriatic.

Final Summary (AUT):

  • Journal Summary: We maintained pressure on Turkey, insisting on our push into ANK with Russian cooperation despite Russia’s repeated demands regarding Sevastopol. We upheld our commitment to France to harass Germany from the east. Italy’s insistence that we withdraw from Serbia and Greece remains unacceptable, leaving our relations strained. We refused Turkey’s demands for withdrawal from Ottoman centers and prepared for their retaliation. Overall, we sustained our alliance with Russia against Turkey, cooperated with France against Germany, and resisted Italian pressure in the Balkans.
  • Intent: Continue the offensive against Turkey (ARM->ANK with AEG support), hold and defend MUN to pressure Germany in coordination with France, and refuse withdrawal from the Balkans despite Italy’s threats.

We reaffirmed our alliance with RUS and continued to coordinate with FRA against GER. Tensions escalated with ITA over their intent to move VEN→TRI, which we warned we would view as aggression. Our stance remains friendly toward ENG, neutral/wary toward FRA, hostile toward TUR, and increasingly distrustful of ITA.

  • To [RUS]: Our partnership against Turkey remains rock-solid. Let’s close the net around Ankara and Sever their last defenses. We’ll drive from Bulgaria and Aegean while you press from Sevastopol and Black Sea. The faster we finish Turkey, the sooner we can secure lasting gains. Ready to finalize our plan?
  • To [ENG]: Germany grows weaker and we’re poised to strike from the east. If your fleets press them from the west, we can break their lines entirely. Let’s coordinate our moves so no German unit can escape. Please share how you’d like to collaborate, and we’ll tailor our orders accordingly.
  • To [ITA]: We risk squandering energy battling each other while Turkey still clings on. Let’s hold our border steady around Trieste and Venice rather than clashing. We can each keep our forces in check and focus on wiping out Turkey’s presence. Are you open to a truce on this front?
Received by AUT:
  • From [TUR]: Withdraw from Constantinople and Bulgaria. Your presence there is unacceptable. I will not tolerate your encroachment on Ottoman lands.

  • To [RUS]: We are a bit puzzled by your note about dislodging our unit in SEV, as we hold none there. Regardless, our stance remains that we fully support your eastward advances against Turkey. We will keep CON and SMY for ourselves once Turkey collapses, but we are open to clarifying a fair division of their remaining centers so both our gains are secure. Let’s finalize any boundary details so we present a united front.
  • To [ENG]: If you press GER from the west, we can advance on their remaining holdings from the east. For instance, should you move against BEL or HEL, we can move on KIE or BER as needed. Let’s coordinate so GER cannot muster a defense on two fronts. Please share which specific moves you plan, and we’ll lock in our orders accordingly.
  • To [ITA]: Your proposal for a temporary understanding is welcome. We agree to maintain the current line around Trieste and Venice and will accept an Adriatic DMZ if it helps avoid unnecessary friction. Our priority is finishing off Turkey; if you share that focus, let us both show restraint on our border and concentrate on more pressing targets.
Received by AUT:

Final Summary (AUT):

  • Journal Summary: We reaffirmed our alliance with RUS to attack TUR, finalizing a plan for A BUL to CON supported by F AEG, while RUS secures RUM and Black Sea. With ENG, we coordinated an assault on GER—ENG from the west and us from the east—to ensure no escape for Germany. ITA demanded withdrawals from Serbia and Greece, which we refused, but we accepted an Adriatic DMZ to avoid clashes. FRA continues to encourage us against GER without offering direct military help.
  • Intent: We will move against TUR as planned (A BUL→CON supported by F AEG) while RUS takes RUM and secures Black Sea. We aim to coordinate with ENG to press GER on two fronts.

Our alliance remains solid, and I have no intention of interfering in your attack. Together we can crush Turkey and split their remaining centers.
  • To [FRA]: I agree Germany remains a potential threat, and I’m open to coordinating against them. I already hold MUN and can apply pressure from KIE next while you push from BUR or beyond.

We offered ITA a truce if they leave Trieste and the Balkans alone, hoping to redirect focus on larger threats. No major changes in our relationship with ENG, though we still see them as a potential partner against GER.
  • Intent: Our main moves center on crushing TUR jointly with RUS (A BUL → CON with F AEG supporting) and pressing GER from MUN and KIE while FRA aids from the west.

  • To [FRA, ENG]: Germany is teetering and we will strike again from MUN and KIE. Your timely push from BUR and PIC (and beyond) will box them in for a swift end. Let us coordinate closely, crush GER, and then fairly divide what remains.
  • To [ITA]: We repeat our offer of peace so long as you leave Trieste and our Balkan holdings untouched. Should you cross our borders or make hostile moves, we will retaliate without hesitation. Let us keep this frontier calm for both our sakes.
Received by AUT:
  • From [TUR]: I am moving to retake what is rightfully mine. Withdraw from CON and BUL immediately. Your continued occupation is an act of war.
  • From [FRA]: To Austria, I am willing to coordinate against GER, but I need assurances of your long-term intentions. If you move on MUN, I will move A BRE to BUR to support you. However, I need a guarantee that you will not turn on me after GER is defeated. I will not commit without a guarantee.
  • From [RUS]: To AUT, we apologize again for the SEV misunderstanding. We confirm our support for your move into CON. We will focus on retaking RUM and securing the Black Sea. We will move A RUM to UKR, F SEV to BLA, and A MOS to SEV. Let's crush TUR together.

Final Summary (AUT):

  • Journal Summary: We have reaffirmed our alliance with RUS, ensuring they support our capture of CON while we coordinate attacks on TUR. RUS apologized for the Sevastopol incident, and we agreed to finalize borders after we eliminate TUR. Meanwhile, FRA seeks assurances before fully committing against GER, but we remain aligned with both FRA and ENG to finish GER swiftly. We warned ITA to avoid any moves toward Trieste or the Balkans. TUR continues making threats demanding we withdraw, which we refuse. Our intentions remain to weaken GER from MUN/KIE in tandem with FRA/ENG, finish TUR with RUS, and keep ITA at bay while maintaining apparent cooperation with FRA and ENG.
  • Intent: Continue the assault on TUR with RUS support into CON, push against GER with FRA/ENG, and hold ITA in check. Maintain a facade of cooperation with FRA and ENG while preserving freedom to expand further once TUR and GER are subdued.
