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!
I love this game and have done that since it was released. Have been so happy too be able too play it on new computers too. But on Win10 it was not possible for me. Now 2-3years from when i bought it from GoG it finally works on Win10, and with full screen support also! absolutely fantastic! The most funny thing is that i gave it a chance yesterday and it didn't work, then just 1day after they came with the update! That is just soo strange but funny. Thank you GoG that you updated this! You are all fantastic people and love the opportunity too play all the old games on new machines.
I couldn't play until I searched the forum and found that deleting the "dbghelp.dll" in the folder (\Settlers 4 Gold\Exe\).
It really worked. Hope it can help you, too. This is really a fantastic game that I always want to play every few years.
The solved error was "Software 3D: Error initializing Graphic Interface!"
The Settlers IV was the first game of the series I played back in the days and it is still my favourite one. Although I have strong nostalgic feelings about it, I can say for sure the game in general aged very well.
Compared to modern strategy games the mechanics are still great and the visuals are also petty to look at (considering the age of this game).
Clearly, such a masterpiece deserves a five stars rating only (or an A+, or a 10 out of 10).
Unfortunately, as of the time of this review, the game offered here does not work on Windows 10 out of the box. But luckily a workaround for this problem exists. If you are on Windows 10 and want the game to work, check out this thread:

There are also further problems addressed like widescreen resolution fixes or support for other languages. So big thanks to the guys who figured all that out.
This is my first review at all, but I am so frustrated I have to vent somehow. I really tried to get this working on win10, but it just doesn`t work. I own this exact GOG version of the game for a long time now and played it fine from time to time. Until leaving windows 7. Since then, I`ve never been able to play it again. And I have searched for years and tried really hard. Updating, DXGL, dxwrapper and everything, but it just won`t play. If you`re considering to buy this game, please take a look in the GOG support forum before and see how the community treats questions. Plot twist: there`re no responses AT ALL. I guess there are enough people able to play the game on modern machines to not bug GOG, but the majority IS NOT.
If you still consider buying the game, wait for a sale to gamble your money on a chance to play it.
I`ll probably try again in a year or so. I´ll update this review if I find a solution OR there`s a patch...
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
