The Settlers 6: Rise Of An Empire

The Settlers: Rise of an Empire. In this game, the player builds lively, bustling towns in a medieval world. Everything is visible, lovingly animated and realistic.

The most popular features of the predecessors in the series have been retained, and many of the fans desires and wishes were incorporated into the new game to create a very special Settlers atmosphere. The result is a realistic medieval world, captured in intricate detail.
