Playing Venice shall be interesting... I dont have the least hope of taking Italy as Hive did (being surrounded by Slargos, Mulliman, Duuk and *who is Spain?* is very different than being surrounded by four newbies

in Austria, France, Spain and OE

)
I hope i can take Venice to a trading wealh path... wich will be a good way to increase my trading and economic skills...
Hehe... i think I will need a good allie in Italy

to keep balace of power around.
Hum... iam starting to like to play Venice... and trying to avoid its almost inevitable decline by the four hawks around the poor Serenissima...
EDIT: I need the file to give a look at the situation and the techs... can someone upload it to slargos forum or them i will just ask when i find some of you in ICQ
EDIT: And iam not criticazing Hive

even if it seems so

He did a good game with Venice-Italy.
