The Settlers: Fourth Edition 2001
Developed by Blue Byte Software
- Real Time Strategy (RTS), Simulator, Strategy, Historical
The Romans, the Mayans, the Vikings, and the Trojans are the four industrious little races you'll be settling with. The seamless zoom function allows you to take a close-up peek as your settlers go about their daily business, or to zoom out for a bird's-eye view of how your very own empire is coming along. Put your settling skills to the test as you gather resources, establish and manage trade routes, manufacture goods, or wage war. It's up to you to lead your tiny settlers to victory! Are you up to the task? Just because of a little uprising, Morbus has been banished to Earth by HIM, the highest god of all. It really could not have been worse for this particular villain, as Morbus cannot bear the sight of anything green. He definitely doesn’t plan on letting it stay that way – his Dark Tribe will soon be waging war on the Earth’s flora and fauna.
