| | Game Features | |
| | Settlers 7 is a real-time strategy game about kingdom building in Europe during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance periods. You have become the king or queen of a land that has fallen into a deep decline, and you have set out to attract new settlers, revive the kingdom and increase its prestige, and compete with other revitalizing kingdoms nearby. To climb out of the ruin that you have inherited and surpass your neighbors to be the most glorious and successful kingdom in the area you will need to build a productive economy and choose an overall strategy. Important strategic considerations include whether to be aggressive or defensive, and whether to pursue expansion through military action, technology, or trade. A map is won by the player who destroys every opponent or by the first player to gain and hold a pre-determined number of Victory Points. You can review the points available on a map and then plan how to gain them. This requires that you commit very quickly to one of three branches for expansion: military, trade, or technology. You may find it useful to put some resources into a second branch as well. The military branch employs armies of soldiers to gain Victory Points from several sources, including capturing map sectors and defeating enemy armies. At the extreme, your military can destroy opposing kingdoms. The trade branch employs traders to exchange goods on the game map and to build a trading network off the map. Trading can fill in gaps in your economy or let you specialize in producing only a few goods while buying the others you need. Building a trade network provides more possible good exchanges, gains resource rewards, gains prestige, and can gain Victory Points. The technology branch employs clerics to do research at monasteries. This research can gain unique technologies that improve the efficiency of your economy and effectiveness of your armies. Research can also raise prestige and gain Victory Points. Posted by cyberken on Tuesday 03 November 2009 - 00:26:58 | Add/Read Comments: 0 | |

| | Gameplay Overview | |
| | The play of Settlers 7 is about attracting settlers to your reviving kingdom, putting some settlers to work in productive ways, transforming the resources and goods produced by working settlers into further growth, increasing prestige to unlock important rewards, putting some settlers to work as specialists, and then applying goods and specialist settlers toward goals to win the game. At the start of a new map you have some living space and resources already available. Use those starting resources to begin attracting new settlers, begin constructing places for new settlers to work, and perhaps begin training some new settlers to be specialists that will work on your strategic plan. By the time the starting resources are exhausted you should have settlers at work providing a steady flow of replacement resources to support continued expansion. As the flow of incoming resources grows, branch out into more advanced good production to support your strategic goals. If your strategy includes trade, for example, you must provide the buildings and goods required to recruit traders. Expanding into more sectors may be useful in the early and middle parts of a game to gain access to important resources (including fertile land), to increase living space, to increase prestige, and for military purposes (provide a defensive buffer or advance point for launching attacks). Sectors can be captured using specialists from the military, trade, or technology branch. By the late middle period of a game there should be a plan for winning the map. This requires an understanding of what might win the map and an economy that is building the goods and specialists implementing the plan. A large and efficient economy should require a minimum of management, leaving you time to concentrate on gaining Victory Points and denying them to opponents. The end game is a race to achieve the Victory Points needed to win, to hold onto those points once gained, and to deny points or take them away from opponents. | |
