Hi All,
Well I bought this because I like all the Anno series, it's installed on my computer but I haven't played the expansion
by itself, but I like Anno 1404 and expect the expansion to be very good, I liked the idea of Venice. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I've been working on my computer, new case and reinstalling Win 7.

Initial feelings are that it is good for extra campaigns but the depth of the game has not altered a huge amount. Although I have not fully explored it yet and may need to reconsider my opinion.

I'm glad Ubisoft haven't just done a hit and run and continue to release patches and expansions for what is an excellent game! Patch 1.2 now available and as mentioned in my Anno 1404 review patch 1.1 removed the drm and need for disc in drive. Though the expansion re-adds the drm.
There's added scenarios;
There are new buildings, the Bailiwick is well useful, it's an "accounting/command" building which cuts maintenence costs & brings the control of all buildings in a settlement under one roof, courtesy of the reeves book, which is kind of a ledger, it's actually a really bloody useful building. build it as soon as possible.
The large tradesmans cog is worth it's weight in gold. it has six holds & 2 "buffing" sockets, is as fast as the large oriental cargo ship, and packs one hell of a punch in it's own right, it's almost as powerful as the large oriental warship.
The new palace looks awesome, there are other new building like cemetaries etc. there are also gameplay tweaks like removing the need for weapons when building settlement defences etc.
One amazing new change is the ability to infilitrate other economies using spies and exert your influence. You can also gain economic control of another player through expanding your control of their council.
Features of the expansion (as the product listing is somewhat sparse!):
Anno 1404 Venice combines the signature gameplay mechanics of Anno 1404 and the richness of the Venetian culture. In addition, gamers are now able to play Anno 1404 with their friends thanks to the new online multiplayer mode. Key Features:
The rich Anno 1404 environment gets complemented with a new Venetian setting offering new possibilities of interaction:
Build two new Venetian ship types: the small and big tradesman cog
Develop secret cabinets, infiltrate your enemies and sabotage their expansion
Take control over enemy cities thanks to your influence in the cities' council board
Play Anno 1404 online in a multiplayer mode:
Choose to play versus or coop to defeat the AI by combining your techniques
Up to 8 players
New challenges and quests:
Up to 60 new items and 300 new quests with two new types: trading race and ship boarding
Discover and exploit a new type of island, the Volcano island
New scenarios to face new challenges with new achievements, medals and crests
And for anyone wondering you need the original to play :-) Like my review? Rate It!
