Got Venice up to size 115 at turn 500. Prince, large pelago at standard speed. Internal trade routes are key and Venice has a big advantage here with double trade routes. Everything else was geared toward food. 50% positive modifiers are part of that. Generation of Merchants of Venice isn't fast...

I use Win 7 and changed settings for Allowed programs in Windows Firewall and allowed Sid Meier's Civilization VI to the Public network. Same settings as for Sid Meier's Civilization V. Control Panel | Windows Firewall | Allow a program or feature etc.,,,, Scroll down until you see the entry...
