help The Settlers FAQ
What makes the original The Settlers different from a conventional RTS?
The focus is an interconnected economy rather than direct control of every unit. Players create roads, place flags, and rely on carriers to move stone, timber, food, tools, and weapons through the settlement.
Why do goods stop moving in The Settlers?
Transport often stalls when road segments are too long, intersections are overloaded, or too few carriers are available. Adding flags divides routes into shorter segments, while warehouses can reduce traffic across a sprawling kingdom.
What was The Settlers called in North America?
Blue Byte's 1993 game was marketed in North America as Serf City: Life Is Feudal. It began the series later continued by The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici and The Settlers III.
How can two people play The Settlers on one computer?
The Amiga version became known for a split-screen mode in which two players could use separate mice. That unusual local multiplayer setup let both kingdoms be managed simultaneously on one machine.
