description
The Roman crew of a ship is going to conquer an uninhabited island (or so it seems). For its survival, the crew has to plan its expansion wisely: build roads, hunt for food, gather resources, and mine for precious minerals. But will they be prepared for what else they find? Let’s just say that keeping a large, well-trained army will be necessary to defend the kingdom you have built.

Superb! I've been waiting for this to be released.

I've got to say it's just like the original which is great and all but it doesn't work so well on the DS

theres another RTS Civiliazaion Builder out there called Anno 1701 which is really awesome.

I managed to find a review of The Settlers and I'm frankly disappointed. I had high hopes for this but it seems that they screwed up the conversion.
