Settlers III (BlueByte) is a strategic simulation game of tactics, prosperity, combat and growth. As a Champion of the Gods, the player can become leader of the resourceful Romans, the skillful Egyptians or the aggressive Asians. You control scores of tradesmen and command legions of armed forces in the evolution of your tribe and ultimately, the victory of your chosen race.
From humble beginnings, you must manage your resources carefully, build your settlements wisely and trade prosperously. You need to develop a thriving economy and a powerful military that will eventually dominate all races and restore your chosen God to favour.
MY OPPINION
I found this game extremely enjoyable. It is quite easy to pick up and is very hard to put down once you get into it. The graphics are excellent and the ambient sound effects bring the game to life. I found the game quite easy at first, but it soon became very challenging, requiring a lot of thought on each mission. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the challenge of Empire-building. I found the reference section in the Settlers manual to be extremely helpful because it gives info on the various Gods and useful tips on all the trades and tradesmen.
