]]> 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.

]]> Fourth installment in the Assassin’s Creed series. It continues the plot of the previous title, closing the story of Ezio Auditore. It shares the same graphics engine, design and gameplay as its predecessor -although the use of a grappling hook is implemented to improve mobility through the scenarios-. The plot shifts to the East, specifically to a Constantinople newly christened Istanbul after the Ottoman conquest, although there are missions set in the underground city of Derinkuyu in Cappadocia, Masyaf in modern-day Syria, and locations in the Orontes Valley. It is significantly less historically accurate than its predecessor titles, but is notable for its rich setting, detailed recreation of cities and interaction with the environment and other characters.

]]> Turkish historical docudrama about the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmet II. It consists of 1 season and 6 episodes. It is a series rich in historical detail, which delves quite deeply into this historical event that marked the beginning of the Modern Age. Despite its documentary style, it is a series that can be easily marathoned.
