Anno 1404: Venice is an expansion for the fourth part of a popular economic strategy game series. The expansion lets you take part in development of early Venice and try out a new multiplayer mode.

Implementing a new Venice region as one of independent factions brought about a string of innovations. Upon installing the expansion you can use two new trade ships – the small and big tradesman cog, which facilitate trade.

Players who are not afraid of getting their hands dirty can make use of new tricks against rival nations. Anno 1404: Venice enriches the game with option of sabotaging opponents’ expansion. This is dealt by espionage headquarters, where spies are trained. They can infiltrate a foreign city, and then make several actions, such as poisoning wells, starting fire, or hiring false prophets. Another novelty is city council board. You can manipulate them, buy a place in the board, or acquire keys to the city. All this in order to take over an enemy city without shedding a drop of blood.
