The Settlers
About this game
The Settlers is a classic city-building and real-time strategy game developed by Blue Byte and released in 1993. Its signature feature is a full simulated resource supply chain. Instead of directly controlling individual workers, players plan and construct production buildings, and villagers will automatically perform tasks like logging, mining, farming and manufacturing. Players must balance resources including food, ore and timber, build up economy, train troops, expand territory and defeat enemies. With gentle cartoon art style and elaborate production pipeline, it is a landmark title in simulation strategy games, followed by many sequels and remakes.
