Campaign in Venice?

[10vorne]

I never played 1404 yet. I bought 1404 & Venice-Addon. I read that there is a campaign in 1404, but what about a campaign in Venice. There are "only" scenarios. Are they equal to a venice campaign that tell a whole story? If not, I think when I play the campaign in Anno 1404, the Venice-Features are missing?

true but the anno campaign is one big story.
Yes you miss the feature's from venice in the campaign but the campaign is filled quite good so you won't miss them as much like you would in a sandbox game.

The scenario's themselfs are nice things wich could be alot of fun and even give some unique things to do (like take the role of the corsairs for examples). And give you bonus gems on completion.

Compared to content the scenario's add equal playtime compared to the campaign but in terms of story it is lacking as they have nothing to do with each other.

If I start a Venice-Game in endless mode, are there tutorial messages? I think I cannot continue the 1404-campaign with the venice features in endless mode. So I think I will start endless instead of campaign. I dont want to spend 40 hour campaign plus a NEW game in endless mode.

There is a global challenge you can imply as campaign. When you're playing Anno1404 and Venice, episodes of the base campaign, scenarios and continuous games with different options, performing different tasks on the way to fulfill as much achievements as you can with one global goal to unlock the Golden Ship. It's not easy and takes very long time.

I'd play base campaign for tutorial. But for the endless game initial options you have chosen before and generated map with certain seed will be very important. Actually you can play whatever you want as this game is very timewasting lol
