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!

Works perfectly on Windows 10!

I really loved playing this game in the early 2000's. I was a bit afraid if the GOG release would work when I saw the 2 reviews here that it doesn't run on Windows 8/10, but decided to give it a chance. After all, those reviews are from 2015, now it's 2021, maybe everything is fixed now? The game costs €9.99, so there isn't really a lot to lose. I couldn't have been more excited: the game works perfect on my recent W10 laptop! I have been playing it now for several hours without a problem. €9.99 very well spent! Job well done by GOG :)

Fantastic Game

Pros : Game mechanics, well programmed, depth to the economy full of unique challenges. I also like the 2d graphics, old school sprites. Its cute looking and pleasant dinky game. Huge maps, hundred of levels in multiple different story modes, 4 or 5 different factions with their own graphics and other unique buildings etc. Depth in the gameplay and the game can be HARD. I'm on easy mode struggling to get past the 2nd romans mission in single player. I love the DRM free nature of GOG games as well, its helped me a lot to play games offline on my windows 7 hard drive. I like that this runs on windows 7, not a fan of windows 10. This game is so old school it comes with a very well done pdf manual. There are multiple pdf manuals to tell you everything you need to know about this game. Game runs well on windows 7, no issues whatsoever that I've come across. This game is so old school that you need to go into the games actual files to access the level editor, I haven't used it yet but it has the ability to randomly generate levels and adjust the size of the maps and how many players for the map etc, starting resources etc. This game is a masterpiece of programming of the era. Everything works and works well, snappy fast smooth. So glad this game still exists in a form compatible with modern tech. Cons : Some very small minor bugs that will never be fixed most likely because this game is over 20 years old. For example on Trojans mission 1 I could not load my troops into my boat... Not sure why so I had to cheat to end the level. Also the community still playing this game in 2023 doesn't exist. Its you and me whoever is reading this. That makes searches of strategy and things like that online hard to find. But, the documentation coming with the game is outstanding. Another con, couldn't find a way to delete savegames in the game, you have to delete those from the game folder and same thing with renaming save files.

Where is the remake?

Settlers 4 is Settlers 3 on steroids, with everything more and better. Is it really that costly for Ubisoft to remake the last good part of the Settlers series?
