Let's Play Civilization 5 - Episode 2.1 - The birth of the Venetian empire
We're ready to kick off our second playthrough of the series. After a dominant performance by the Huns in our first run, we're taking on a significantly more difficult set of circumstances for our follow up effort. The civilization we're saddled with is Venice, which is unique in that they can't gain settlers. We also up the difficulty level from "easy" to "normal." We bump into a familiar foe right away: Boudicca and the Celts. After some early exploration, we discover that our city is pretty well positioned to be able to defend, but we might have a hard time expanding. The next civ we meet is William the Pious of the Netherlands. His funny pants don't scare us. Our major accomplishment for the episode is the construction of the great library, giving us an early edge in technology. Shortly after, we meet Genghis Khan, the last of the other civilizations that we're up against. The Mongolian leader likely has aggressive plans in the near future, so we'll need to be wary of his ongoings. We managed to produce a merchant of Venice, sending them to nearby Hong Kong to absorb the city-state into our empire.
