Playing & Modifying Venice

[1-CityWonder]

I have always enjoyed playing Venice because it allows me to have less to focus on and lets me watch how the other AI's develop more. So I usually play without buying any other city-states and try to stick to a 1-City Challenge type of play style.

My last time playing CP only, however, I ran into a bug, I think. During a war with another civ, I re-conquered a taken city-state. I had no choice to liberate them, which I think is normal. The city-state automatically became my puppet. The problem is that Venice then also became a puppet, cutting me off from all production.


Since I've always enjoyed playing 1-City Challenge, but I want to be able to liberate any taken city-state or other cities. Can I modify the game to allow Venice to be able to liberate taken city-states?

Venice like any other civ can liberate. I played for Venice and today liberated a CS...

The 'cannot liberate' issue is a vanilla interface bug. It sometimes occur. You can reload an autosave and the pop-up should show up.
