Anno 1404: Venice introduces a new NPC civilization, the Venetians. Their leader is Giacomo Garibaldi, a sly man who seems to go out of his way to make everything he says into a double entendre. Like Lord Northburgh and the Vizier, Garibaldi is friendly with the player, and will offer new quests, items, and civilization upgrades.
Venice adds a campaign with fifteen brand-new scenarios, which expand the backgrounds of the original game's NPC characters.
