The Settlers: Rise of an Empire

In The Settlers: Rise of an Empire, you build lively medieval towns in a richly detailed world where everything is visible and lovingly animated. Each Settler has a daily routine with different actions and behaviors you can observe at any time. Your ultimate goal is to expand your empire and become a legendary ruler. Drive your settlers to greater achievements, grow a thriving economy, meet your citizens’ needs, and protect your people from danger.

Your settlers have needs and lives of their own. If food runs short, they may fall ill or feel threatened, bringing your town to a standstill. Keep them well fed and happy, and they will worship you. Seasons and extreme weather will challenge you as a master builder. Do you have enough supplies to get your settlers through a harsh winter? Have you prevented your woodcutters from stripping the forest bare and damaging the habitat of the wild animals your hunters rely on for food? As your settlement grows rich and prosperous, other nations and settlements may try to loot or destroy it. Post troops on your town walls to watch for enemies, or send them out to strike foes attempting to seize key resources—like the last stone quarry—right from under your nose.
