Venice (Napoleon: Total War)

For other uses of the term, see Venice.

Flag of Venice

Venice is a faction in Napoleon: Total War. It appears only in the Italian Campaign.

General Information

Venice occupies many territories in northern and eastern Italy, making it one of the largest factions in the Italian Campaign. It is allied with Austria. Its lands need to be traversed in order for France to complete its objective of capturing Klagenfurt.

France is issued a mission to take Venetia should hostilities be declared between France and Venice. The reward is a substantial 4,000 gold, as well as automatic peace with Venice. 

The region of Venetia is occupied by Austria in the Europe campaign. Venice cannot emerge as a faction; should Venetia be liberated or have a successful rebellion, Italy emerges, instead.

In the multiplayer campaign, Venice is not automatically aligned with Austria, and may indeed declare war on Austria. This can cause major problems for the Austrian player as Venice and its lands split Austria's in two and its armies are quite significant. 

Unit Roster

Venice fields line infantry, grenadiers militia, heavy cavalry, and some basic artillery. It lacks light infantry or light cavalry.
