Description

The 4th game in the famous Settler series. With some graphical improvements and new buildings and features.

You now can zoom in and out without steps and the game supports resolutions up to 1280x1024.

There are 3 normal campaigns being the Romans, Vikings and Maya's, but there's also a campaign wherein you fight against the dark side.

Also there are enhanced multiplayer features and the game supports build-in voice chat, so no Roger Wilco needed anymore.

The game basically is still the same, try to settle your little guys on a piece of land where another person also settled. Build your own economical system with food and weaponry production.
