The Settlers

The Settlers is a game series for the computer that is actually some years old by now. It's a game where you play one of three folks and you are like their god. You have to order them to build a complete infrastructure, create a army and destroy your opponent's settlement.

There are 7 games in this series, but I've only played three of them. The ones I like the most are The Settlers III and The Settlers IV. They are both quite old games: The Settlers III was released in 1998 and The Settlers IV, in 2001. But there are still many people who play these two games online, and they have good reasons: it's still one of the best strategic games.

I like about the game that you have to think what to do, because your ressources aren't unlimited. You have to be careful, specially at the beginning. I also love the graphics: your settlers are 3D-modelled in a comic-like style. If you zoom out and watch, it's a lovely image seeing all of them go up and down ways and transporting materials, goods, weapons.. It's fun playing online with other people and chatting a bit, too. I love the most teammatches, when you can get help or attack a enemy cooperating, sending eachother goods, etc.

It's really fun enjoying the little working ants game The Settlers. I think you should give it a try.
