Trading and Dynasty building Sim with Political Intrigue spices
The port of Venice. The Renaissance is in full flow. Trading ships paddle the globe, laden with exotic goods. It’s the era of merchant kings; the air is thick with the smell of profit, opportunity and, this being the 1400s, a pervasive hint of poor.
Mercifully, Rise of Venice lifts you high above the stinking streets, giving you mastery of a lovely 3D map of the Med bathed in golden holiday sunshine. Twenty-five cities support a simulated economy that you can exploit to grow a business empire. The ebb and flow of market forces plays across 22 resources, all subject to spikes and crashes tied to the shifting needs of the population centres.It’s a great setting for a business sim laced with political intrigue.
