Venice was at the peak of its power during the Renaissance and
was viewed as a city of decadence, beauty and intrigue. Renowned
as the linchpin of civilization and the cultural center of
Europe, Venice was the most important trading post between
Western Europe and the eastern stretch of the Mediterranean Sea.
It was also the stage for political corruptions and clandestine
dealings.
This is where your story begins. As a young man striving for
success, power and wealth and with the support of your family,
you begin to build up a trading empire across Genoa, Tripoli,
Rome, Alexandria, and Constantinople in addition to many other
significant cities from the Renaissance. As you progress through
the ranks of Venetian society, increasing your power with smart
trading moves and calling in the occasional favor, you can begin
to assemble your own fleet. With this you will start to build up
new production facilities and test yourself in challenging sea
battles where you will face off against pirates as well as
political enemies.
