To the Doge Leonardo Loredan of Venice,

This message is a secret, between the two of us only. Our conflict has continued far too long and I wish to see it ended. Your position is poor, with one large fleet horribly out of position to defend your properties, and incoming forces overwhelming your fortresses one by one. If you do not accept, we will take everything your fleet cannot defend, including Dalmatia if we have to, until you concede and sign with us a peace treaty.

I have included two deals for you. One if you accept before the next province falls, and another if you sue for peace at a later date. If you fail to declare peace at all, I will take every outpost you have east and south of Pula, and starve your republic of all trade from the eastern Mediterranean until your beloved city collapses from starvation. It will pain me to lose provinces in the east to accomplish this, but it will be a sweet pain indeed.

It is time to end this charade,

Sultan Bayezid II, [Innumerable Titles Ensue]

Enclosed are two maps.

[M] This war started between two players of our countries who are no longer playing, I'm the second Ottoman, you're second Venetian. I'm tired of not being able to properly Turk with this hanging over my neck, and I'm down an insane amount of potential money I've spent just in the last few days on an army and navy that's only fought a single tick, because no time bubble. You need a clean start to playing Venice, you've inherited a whole pile of stuff going on. Let's put a stop now, resume the war some other time.
