How to Play Settlers, The
Quick start
Start the Roman campaign, read the first objective and connect the requested buildings. Check goods and transport, then expand only after the initial production chain works.
Controls
Use stylus menus to choose construction, roads and resource priorities. Switch the top and bottom views to inspect statistics or the map, and confirm placement before committing materials.
Settlers, The — About this game
Place buildings, connect them by roads and keep supplies moving between workers before pushing the border outward. A sawmill needs a supply chain rather than simply an empty patch of ground, and shortages can halt later construction. Roman and World campaigns offer directed goals, while Free Mode lets you face computer armies. Begin with the opening economic tasks, inspect stored goods and watch the road network for bottlenecks. Military growth depends on the settlement behind it, so use the distribution displays to understand a delay before ordering more buildings.
