I dont know..
In all my games where i had Venice so far he started to build the Great Libary and always got it but he never builded any Units and lost its Capital before turn 150.
Im my current game rom took him out in 2 turns.
If he starts in a peacefull area he does okay but later on he spends his merchants to get Gold from the City stats instead of buying them..
Overall even on Emporer hes bad.
