The gods may be crazy! First the Almighty HE, the highest of all the gods, sends Jupiter, Horus, and Ch’ib-Yu off into an extremely arduous competition simply on account of some occasional drinking sprees! Then the three gods are subjected to scorn and derision: Q'nqura, the goddess of the Amazons, lets the trio win in battle out of pure spite, and then their humiliation is complete!

How to get it to run on windows 10 and 11 - google settlers united. This is mod for settlers 3 and 4 to make it work and make it better even!
Settlers 3 is my favorite of the series. I like the graphics, the gameplay and the civs we got (I dont like amazons tho and the bees buzzing is annoying) but other than that I love it. As a kid I was also drawing my settlements when I was not playing.
Yeah, for some reason the GOG Galaxy version doesn't work, for me neither. But if you install the offline installer, it works without a hitch on my Windows 11 computer. Now I wish if the situation was that simple with Settlers 4...
But this is about Settlers 3: Great game! My first game I ever played, so excuse my nostalgia filter. I don't moan for roads, I find the settlement building here instead vastly more organically, even if I can acknowledge that it's dumbed down in terms of mechanics. Still, you can attack anywhere and be strategic about how to use your soldiers as this has a rudimentary RTS side, but it's still a relaxing settlement builder with small, but never superfluous resource cycles, very differently playing factions, easy entry, but a stupidly high difficulty in the Addons.
The AI only ever attacks if it has an advantage, so you are incentivized to build up as quickly as possible and build a force as a deterrence so that you won't get crippled early on. You also NEED to destroy most towers because this game is HARD and the AI will swarm you if it gets the idea you have some undefended towers. One slip-up and you'll get overwhelmed. However, on the other end the AI is really bad at defense, especially when you attack a tower and mow down those headlessly rushing to its defense from elsewhere, since their movement orders supersede any attack behavior, unlike with your own troops where it's actually the opposite. So once you've got an army, you tend to end up slaughtering vastly superior armies because of this. Note however that Settlers 4 is the same game, but superior with more mission variety (all main game and even most addon missions just have you beat up all AI opponents) and nicer graphics.
Despite its flaws, it is a great game to wind down after work and I recommend it heartily!
Before I've read the game there where ppl in the comments are giving the game 1 star, saying: There's no tutorial. There is no option to install it in german. Doesnt work on W11. There is no way to change difficulty.
So I bought the game. When installing the game it asked me do you want to install in german. I did. No problem. Game was in german.
This is on W11 btw.
In the main menu, the FIRST thing on top to click was TUTORIAL. ok.....
Also in the main menu, there is anther button: Campaign: Normal. When you klick on it, it changes to EASY.
It is crazy to me that some people seem to have the attention span of a tiktok video nowadays (most likely because of Tiktok is my guess). They most likely looked at the menu screen for 0-5 seconds screaming THERE NO TUTORIAAL because it didnt popped right into their faces at the beginning. This is very worrying. I hope this helps someone who really wants to play this game.
