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.

Hasn't been fixed after several years. Don't buy from GOG, they don't care. BTW, this is what they advertise: "Upgrading classics for present-day Even if the game is older than you are, we test it thoroughly, fix all the bugs, and apply patches so it runs flawlessly on your next-gen PC and on modern OSs." Sounds like false advertising to me.

A Great Game!

Even though many people claim that it is not working under Windows 10, I never had any issues. I especially like the Map Editor which comes with the game, because it's very easy to use and quite self explaining. Playing self-created maps online with friends is just so much fun! Personal Rating: 5/5

Doesn't work - BE WARNED!

As with most of the other reviewers, I paid my hard earned money and couldn't get the game to start. I looked through forums and tried all the messy ways to get it to work, downloaded dodgy patches, tinkered with settings, tried it on various versions of Windows and different machines with different graphics cards etc... a lot of time wasted for nothing. Having spent a lot of money on GOG over the years and had ever more issues like this, this is the last time I'm ever buying a game from here (I should have learnt the first time). There is no support at all from the vendor.
