Ve(ry)nice To See Anno-ther Game

The solid and satisfying medieval city-building and trading sequel from earlier this year is going to get an expansion in February 2010. "Venice" will include a new Venetian faction, and an accompanying infiltration and sabotage feature set. What's probably more exciting for existing Anno 1404 (Dawn of Discovery in North America) players is that it also features eight-player co-op and versus multiplayer for the sandbox mode. Here's what I thought about the original game when it came out.
