The Settlers III

The eagerly awaited sequel to the most popular game in Blue Byte's history. This immense god sim is a real-time, strategic simulation of prosperity, tactics, combat and growth. Settlers III is a totally new game animation, with 3D design of all the characters, landscapes, buildings and other details. When the game was designed, strong emphasis was put on maintaining the original charm of the Settlers. More importance is given to the strategic element, with construction and strategy now playing equal parts in the game. The ongoing real-life battles can be directly controlled by the player. Individual soldiers may be promoted up the military ranks. Additional voyages, five different types of vessels are on hand for each race. The ships are created so the player can have any of the individual characters enter and exit them. There is new online playability. It is this change that opens up entirely new areas for the player. In the future, gamers will have the possibility to play with other Settlers' fans all over the world! And finally, with gods, temples and priests, a totally new element has been developed. The competition between the gods themselves forms the framework for the campaigns. The building of temples and pyramids is really important for the outcome of the game.
