I'm sure many of our readers enjoyed Settlers, but have you ever heard of Widelands? This is an open source, real-time strategy game, with many features that made Settlers great. You are the regent of a small clan and start out with nothing but the headquarters, from then on you must develop a growing settlement with all buildings needed to keep the resources flowing. The Settlers feel is all here, pathways between buildings, forestry and wood cutting and much more! You'll even come across other clans which you may need to fight, so train your soldiers well.
