They amused us, they fought for us and they built an empire. Now those amusing little characters are back in Settlers III to give us new challenges and new empires to build. If you are not familiar with the first two installments of Settlers, we'll fill you in.
Settlers is strategy and management smoothie all in one cup.
The strategy side is pretty self explanatory, but management side of the game is what gives it the unique taste. As you chuck down the gameplay, all the aspects of the game become second nature to you. If previously you were puzzled by the fact that your mines are empty, later you find out that miners like meat, and unless you provide them with the product, you are not going to get very far in your mining operations. The whole concept grows on you like a fungi on cheese. You sort of get a taste and come back wanting more.
