Your empire rises, better than ever...

<span class="bold">The Settlers: Rise of an Empire - Gold Edition</span>, a quality return to the core formula, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. The game is available at 50% off, or 60% off if you complete the series.

The Settlers is a series fond of change and evolution, and though it's hard for a fan to call any entry "bad", some design choices have met with equal amounts of praise and criticism. After The Settlers: Heritage of Kings launched to a controversial reception, enamoring some and disappointing others - The Settlers: Rise of An Empire returns to a more classic formula, catering to the oldest fans of the series, while providing plenty of eye candy and much-needed updates for newcomers. The gameplay basics, like building and collecting resources, have been streamlined to minimise menial clicking and annoyances - but not so much that they can be considered "dumbed down". At the time of it's premiere, Rise of an Empire was considered (arguably, of course) the best to date.


To celebrate the launch, The Settlers: Rise of an Empire along with the whole series is available at 60% off when you complete your collection. You can also pick up the games at 50% off individually.


Rediscover the love in <span class="bold">The Settlers: Rise of an Empire - Gold Edition</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last until September 7, 2:59 PM GMT.

reply from UBISOFT: on humblebundle.com :P
This is all well and good, but where is the Settlers 1, Ubisoft? :(
And another release, and a Ubisoft at that, nice! Hope that whoever said "not enough releases" is at least somewhat content now.

That pun was just bad. ;P

I approve.

Smannesman: Apparently they made more Settlers games than I knew of.

Matruchus: Heh, there are two more:

- Settlers: Path to a Kingdom
- Settlers: Kingdom of Anteria (still in development)
but those are always online only (Uplay) so very doubtfull they will be available on gog in the future.
I didn't realize that Settlers 7 was always-online. :-(

It's sad that companies are currently making games with single-player campaigns that will literally self-destruct once they stop supporting them.
Thanks for the release, i love this one. Settlers 2 and 6 are the best ones for me :D

Given the delay, perhaps they're unsettling?
Nice, but we need The Settlers 1, Prince of Persia 1 & 2, more of the Tom Clancy games, and the missing add-ons for Rainbow Six 1 and Ghost Recon 1.

Edit: And before Barry posts links to the wishlist, yes I already voted for those long ago. :P
