The Settlers - 20 years of Settler history celebration!

Game Type : Strategy, Management
Developer :  Blue Byte, Ubisoft
Developer Quote : The Settlers are celebrating their anniversary. We look back at 20 years of videogame history and talked to the developers who invented the series. Join us on our journey which started 1993 and is far from over. 

Game Info :  The Settlers series was a fantastic set of games going right back to 1993 on the Amiga, a game which, when it was released, enabled you to play in split screen against your friend by developing your own mini Settlement. The player was tasked with building a Medieval Settlement populated by an army of workers, each of whom perform their own individual task. These Settlements were joined up by pathways, and each path had a transporter who could deliver the goods back and forth, say from a Mill to a Bakers, which helped grow your Civilization. It was so much fun and the core roots of the game have never changed, though graphically in style it has come a long way. There was alot to do and Settlers 2 Gold was one of my all time favourite games, especially as your ship crashes on the coast and thus begins your task to develop your Settlement into a great Empire. The moving tree's and the birds chirping or your little men fishing to bring back food added to the atmosphere of the game, a game worthy of an all time classic!
