Video Game Reviews of SETTLERS 4 GOLD EDITION

Customer Review: Settlers IV Gold
Summary: 4 Stars

This game is a must for any Setter's fan.

One draw back is there are no roads with drop off points (which can be a plus to others). This is a big deal to me... Because I loved Setters 2. The AI is not very good for the delivering of goods. You will find yourself waiting a long time on them.

The game can skip ahead by 1 min with the press of F12. Press it to much and you will find yourself in battle.

Building in the game is also slow. It's not bad... Until you turn the AI to the max. You will find yourself not ready when the flood of 50+ level 2 or so units come knocking.

This leads to your army. If you don't have priests in your army... You are at a disadvantage. Also, stock piling weapons is a must. It takes a long time to mass produce an army large enough to take out the opposition. Even when you do have a stock pile of weapons and gold.

The animations in the game are (in my opinion) not as good as Settlers 2. However the graphics look great.

One of the great things about the Gold edition... Is that you get so much for your money. You have lots of pre-made missions for you and a new race. Along with a map editor for your creative side.

This game does work for Windows XP. I have service pack 2 installed and I also have a P4 with HT... Which from what I read on the Setters forum, makes the game unplayable. I have not patched the game either.

Despite all of these negatives. It really can't take away from this game. I had allot of fun and wasted allot of time. If you don't want to spend 2-3 hours per mission. Then stay away.

Description of SETTLERS 4 GOLD EDITION

Just because of that little uprising, Morbus has been banished to earth by HIM, the highest god of all. It really could not have been worse for this particular villain, as Morbus cannot bear the sight of anything green. He definitely doesn't plan on letting it stay that way - his Dark Tribe will soon be waging war on the earth's flora and fauna.

The Romans, Mayans and Vikings are the three industrious little races you'll be settling with. The seamless zoom function allows you to take a close-up peek as your settlers go about their daily business, or to zoom out for a bird's eye view of how your very own empire is coming along.

Put your settling skills to the test in single-player missions, with friends and colleagues in a local area network (LAN) and with gamer from all over the world via BLUE BYTE GAME CHANNEL! For beginners, getting started is a piece of cake, thanks to the extensive tutorial missions.

Single Player Mode Features:

  • Three races with their own campaigns: The Romans, Mayans and Vikings have their own individual style in dress, weapons, alcohol and magic
  • The Dark Tribe: Stop Morbus and his creepy crew in their tracks in a special new campaign.
  • New graphics: Characters, buildings, animals and landscapes have been completely revamped and are meticulously detailed.
  • Improved transport: Load up your donkey carts and the whole of the settlers' world is your oyster.
  • Paths and roads: Well traveled routes are transformed into paths and paved roads, helping your settlers to get there faster.
  • Hunters and wild animals: The woods are now teeming with hares, deer and other wildlife - a veritable hunter's paradise.
  • New strategy options: Show off your tactical genius and steel your defenses by appointing Squad Leaders and deploying your soldiers with more precision than ever before.
