General Information

Venice is initially in possession of two areas: Venetia and Morea, the latter of which is in Greece. This can create a nuisance for players who target Venice, as without a navy, they cannot transport themselves to Morea. Venice, which may sometimes be in possession of a large navy, can raid trade routes and be a problem.

Austria and the Ottoman Empire usually have to deal with Venice as part of their victory conditions.

In-game, Venice has a tendency to declare war on whoever controls Austria, Savoy, the Italian States, or Lombardy--and vice versa. This can be problematic, as invading Venice usually causes the AI to have most of the other factions in the Italian peninsula to turn hostile.
