Description
Includes the original The Settlers® IV and its two expansions: The Settlers® IV: The Trojans and the Elixir of Power and The Settlers® IV Mission CD along with a random map generator.

Just because of a little uprising, Morbus has been banished to Earth by HIM, the highest god of all. It really could not have been worse for this particular villain, as Morbus cannot bear the sight of anything green. He definitely doesn’t plan on letting it stay that way – his Dark Tribe will soon be waging war on the Earth’s flora and fauna.

The Romans, the Mayans, the Vikings, and the Trojans are the four industrious little races you’ll be settling with. The seamless zoom function allows you to take a close-up peek as your settlers go about their daily business, or to zoom out for a bird’s-eye view of how your very own empire is coming along. Put your settling skills to the test as you gather resources, establish and manage trade routes, manufacture goods, or wage war. It’s up to you to lead your tiny settlers to victory! Are you up to the task?

  • Iron supplies at an end? Maybe you can get your hands on some of your neighbor’s surplus metal by trading in some of those coal reserves!
  • Four races with their own campaigns: the Romans, the Mayans, the Vikings, and the Trojans. Each has their own individual style in dress, weapons, alcohol, and magic!
  • Show off your tactical genius and steel your defenses by appointing Squad Leaders and deploying your soldiers with more precision than ever before!

GREAT GAME THAT WORKS ON WINDOWS 10

Alright guys, here is how it is done: 1. Install the game. 2. Download DXGL and start it. 3. Add S4.exe and S4_main.exe and don't change absolutely nothing. 4. Open the GameSettings.cfg in the Config folder (using Notepad) and change the value ObjectHardware = 1 to ObjectHardware = 0. Change nothing else. Moving objects render normally now. 5. Open Video.cfg in the Config folder and change all the values to 1. The videos are now displayed. Enjoy the game! :) Everyone fixing the game this way please give a helpful thumbs up to this post, so other players can filter by helpful votes and find the solution as well. This game is well worth the price after all.

Still my favorite

I've been waiting for this game to be re-released for forever. :D It's a very simple, old school RTS. You turtle for an hour, expand your city, build a massive army, and then overrun your enemy. Nothing too complicated and it's all in 2d, but it is so much fun. Unlike entries after it, there's no hero characters or complex economy, but it still has a nice, simple story. It also has several different playable factions, each with a degree of uniqueness, which is different from other Settlers games. More like C&C: Generals or something. The gold version includes an expansion that has a lot of content, so it's not at all a short game. If you enjoy the old "turtle/expand/crush" RTS games, this will be a lot of fun. There's some fairly difficult missions as well.
