There’ve been quite a few games released in last day or two which weren’t posted yet so I’ll cover some of them now. They were mostly unknown titles, but the sixth installment of The Settlers deserves a bit of attention, although it’s nowhere as good as good ol’ Settlers 3. There’s been reports about bug in the second level which doesn’t allow you to progress any further in the campaign, so we can probably expect an update or crackfix soon.
In The Settlers ? Rise of an Empire, players build lively, bustling towns in a medieval world. Everything in this richly detailed, realistic world is visible and lovingly animated. Each Settler figure has his or her own daily routine, with a range of different actions plus behaviors that can be observed at all times. The ultimate objective of the game is to expand your empire plus become a legendary ruler.

Spur your settlers on to ever greater efforts, develop a flourishing economy, satisfy the needs of your citizens, plus protect your people from danger!

Game features:
- A realistic plus lovingly detailed atmosphere:
Discover an incredibly detailed world, rich in animal plus plant life, and full of fascinating details just waiting to be explored.
- Four climatic zones :

- Natural interaction of the settlers :

- Protect your citizens plus your empire :
