How to Start as Venice in EU5 - Strategy, Events, and Mechanics (Ep. 1)

Venice is one of the most unique and fun nations to play in EU5 and this guide walks through the first 10 years step by step, explaining not just what to do, but why it works.

This video begins a longer Venice campaign focused on building a dominant trade empire.

If this helped you understand EU5 better, consider subscribing for more deep-dive strategy guides and campaign breakdowns.

Also laughing because I thought I could get through 50 years in the same amount of time. I'll try to yap less in the next video but it is fairly DIFFICULT.
