Rise of Venice puts you in command of a fledgling trading empire based in Renaissance Venice, which must exercise its role as Europe’s cultural centre and most important trading post at the junction between Eastern Europe and the eastern fringe of the Mediterranean. From this point, it must trade with other cities such as Genoa, Tripoli, Rome, Alexandria and Constantinople. During the course of the game, various historical events will occur that will require exceptional measures to be taken to try to overcome them.
As for the fleet, maintaining the characteristics of the Renaissance era, the game starts with a few merchant ships available until it reaches the point of owning and dominating a whole fleet of its own. The product distribution system must also be taken into account, building new production facilities and establishing maritime supply routes between available ports. All this happens while trying to increase the fame and prestige of the protagonist family, while competing with other prominent historical families represented in the game.
