Rise of Venice Gold is a comprehensive collection of the renaissance economic strategy simulator Rise of Venice. It includes the full game and all released downloadable content (including "Beyond The Sea"). Venice was at the peak of its power during the Renaissance and was viewed as a city of decadence, beauty and intrigue. The city was the most important trading post between Western Europe and the eastern stretch of the Mediterranean Sea and was also the stage for political corruptions and clandestine dealings. This is where your story begins. As a young mag striving for success, power and wealth you begin to build up a trading empire and assemble your own fleet. With this you will start to build up new production facilities and test yourself in challenging sea battles where you will face off against pirates as well as political enemies.
