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!

Doesn't work on Windows 11

I bought several games on GOG now, some even older than this one. but this is the only one that didn't open for me when I bought it. I tried searching for some quick fixes to get this game running but none worked... oh well it was only $3...

Revised Classic

While Settlers II was arguably the finest installment of this franchise, this game is still so good. Unfortunately it's old enough to have only 3 resolutions to choose from and they are all 4:3 aspect, so be prepared for that. The gameplay is still fairly good, but it can be difficult to get used to. I think this is still worth a shot, though I'd wait for a sale before picking it up.
