Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu & Emperor Tomhito of the Japans salute his royal Highness and wish him long life and prosperity.

From: His Imperial Majesty Ferdinand I Hapsburg, Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Romans and the Germans, King of Bohemia, Archduke of Austria and Lord Protector of Venice
To: Francis I Valois, King of France, Maximilian I Hapsburg, Duke of Burgundy, King Charles I Hapsburg, King of Castille, Aragon, Granada and All Spain and Henri II d'Albret, King of Navarre and the Basques

This war has cost enough life. Let us not forget that we are all family. (OOC: Assuming, of course, that Francis still married Eleanor of Austria) Let us sign a peace. Austria suggests the following terms:

• Spain withdraws from French territory, and the French reciprocate.
• The Kingdom of Navarre is declared Vassal to the King of France.
• The Duchy of Burgundy is recognised as Vassal to the Archduke of Austria.
• The Hapsburgs relinquish all claims to the Low Countries.
• An alliance is signed between the states of Austria, France and Spain.
• Burgundy is treated as a Hapsburg Principality, to be inherited by the heir of the Austrian Branch as each Duke of Burgundy becomes Archduke of Austria. (OOC: Like the Prince of Wales, but independent)
• Navarre will be compelled to accept Henri II Valois as heir to their throne, and will, following the death of the current king, be treated in the same manner as Burgundy.
• France, Spain and Austria condem the Portuguese invasion of Spanish colonies, and enact an embargo on all Portuguese merchants.
• Spain and Austria pledge assistance to the Catholic Kings of France in restoring order and ending the Protestant riots.

Austria is, of course, willing to negotiate these measures, but a treaty ending the war is of the utmost urgency and importance, and under this treaty, no ruler loses land they do not currently have. There are more important threats to Europe than our fellow Catholic monarchs.

OOC: As a side-note for historical reference, particularly directed at Sheep, Henri II only has one child at this point in time, who happens to be female. It would not be that unusual for three of Europe's stronger nations, and in particular, the two neighbours of Navarre, to compel that state to accept certain conditions on succession, particularly if Henry II of France is married off to Joanna of Navarre.

This is an outrage! We promised France we would intervene to help their cause from the beginning! I wait one turn and what happens? I get an embargo slapped on me!

To the Aztecs
From Spain
Are you attempting to provoke Spain into a war?

By advancing against the colonies of your rivals, the Portugese?

We believe the Aztecs are very eager to gain more land and are a bit overagressive in their actions. They haven't caused any major problems with your colonies yet though, and I'm sure once we work this out they will stop.

To: The Aztecs
From: The Incas
It would be wise to halt your agressive tactics for the moment. War with Spain is not what we want.

And not likely to occur, either.

To the Ming
From Spain
Regrettably, the bully reigns supreme. We will leave the southern new world for the Incas. We also implore the Aztecs to attack our enemies the Portuguese.
Let trade flourish with us.

To the Aztecs
From Spain
You have taken our lands, and because you are merely the cub of a lion, we cannot destroy you. You may have new wealth, but pride and honor is something of which you have none.
The Ming decree that you will be trading with us, is this true?

Tlatoani Cuitlizotl confesses his confusion- we have taken no land of Spain, Portugal has taken Nueva Barcelona.

Read the rules you still have over 48 hours to get orders in, PM them and put more thought into them.

You will find the Aztecs took some small portions of New Barcelona.

You join the losing team, what do you expect? Did you expect the Hapsburgs to pay homage to some Iberian upstart? But there ain't gonna be an embargo. There is quite likely to be an invasion of your territory, though.

Just a heads up, you're screwed.

Invade my territory, you're screwed. Spain is severely weakened. There are only a few regiments in Spain.

Besides, how will you reach Lisbon? By sea. Unfortunately, your navy is small and badly trained.

I'm just as confused as you, Iggy.

Are we at war or are we at peace?

Yeah, he's still my brother-in-law. I married my daughter to his son.

I intervened to help my brother-in-law, Francis I.

Francis is also brother in law to Charles of Spain and Ferdinand of Austria.

Besides, who said that I'd be the one in Portugal? There's more than one way to skin a cat, my boy.

thanks Birdjaguar that was helpfull

Aztecs and Portugal are not at war, if anything they were the enemy of their respective enemies.... in otherwords while not friends, they fought against the Spainish together to an extent. Aztecs and Spainish may be at war, depending on how Spain views Aztecs taking territory off Spain, even though it was not annexed.
