Playing my second game as Venice (first was w/ Assyria) on Prince level. I must say, Venice is an interesting civ. I think I've been looking around at the new features too much, as I've let Songhai become a bit too large. They're now encroaching on my continent. All in all, I'm really enjoying Venice. Took me a few turns to realize I can purchase units in my puppet states. One thing I've been using my Great Merchants for is picking off rival civs' allied city-states. I did capture a couple rival cities as well.
