Dawn of Discovery: Venice Coming to Steam

I know I just started writing here, so you fine readers that haven’t read my stuff before don’t know me yet, but you will soon come to learn about the soft spot I have in my heart for sim/empire/tycoon/economy/civ games.  My addiction to the genre began with Civilization II and has basically went completely out of control from there.  I have a lot of very terrible tycoon style games **cough** Hospital Tycoon **cough** because I simply can’t stop myself.

One game that is NOT terrible, and in fact is absolutely fantastic, is Dawn of Discovery.  To my excitement, Steam listed an upcoming expansion titled “Dawn of Discovery: Venice” today.  From the description we get the following:

New Venetian Setting: The rich Dawn of Discovery environment is complemented with a new Venetian setting offering new possibilities of interaction. Build two new Venetian ship types: the small and big tradesman cog. Develop secret cabinets, infiltrate your enemies and sabotage their expansion. Take control over enemy cities thanks to your influence in the cities’ council board.

Multiplayer: Multiplayer-Mode for up to 4 players or Coop-Mode for up to 8 players.

New Challenges and Quests: Up to 60 new items and 300 new quests with two new mission types: trading race and ship boarding. Discover and exploit a new type of island, the Volcano island. New scenarios to face new challenges with new achievements, medals and quests.

So, if you haven’t played DoD yet, get on that right away.  And if you have the original, make sure you pick up the expansion, it comes out February 25th and can be pre-ordered now!
