Morbus is an instigator with decidedly darker ambitions and because he instigates a revolt against HIM, the highest of the gods, he is called upon to receive his punishment. He is banned to the most horrible place in the universe that he can possibly imagine - Earth. Morbus hates everything that is green! As soon as he arrives on Earth, Morbus and his "Dark Tribe" begin their battle against earthly greenery and the Settler world.
The most substantial changes in THE SETTLERSŪ IV are:
THE SETTLERS IV builds on the tried-and-true game principle of the preceding Settlers, but is in essence a very new game. Fans will be able to recognize "their" Settlers, but also discover a number of innovations and new details.
The player can decide whether he wishes to lead the Romans, the Vikings or the Mayas. The races differ not only in their appearance and their architecture but also in a variety of details. They raise different farm animals, produce different alcoholic beverages, make and use different weapons and their priests cast unique spells. All Settlers are actually peace-loving folks, but then there is always that annoying neighbor that occupies the land with those large deposits of gold or sends long-fingered brethren over to swipe your freshly harvested crops. This can cause the industrious Settlers to engage in magnificent battles on land and at sea, battles where the outcome will depend less on the number of troops but more on skillful tactics and well-organized strategy.
The dark tribe plays a special role in carrying out the evil plans of Morbus to rid the earth of its greenery, leaving a desolate wasteland in its place. His Dark Gardener plants lots of shadowweed, (a fast-spreading groundcover) which draws all the nutrients from the soil, then withers away. To keep the Dark Tribe in check, the player has to use his own gardener to make the soil fertile again. Only then can he capture the dark temple...

What
is New?
Incredibly detailed
graphics in which the characters, buildings and landscapes take on a new level of quality! The
improved zoom function makes viewing even the smallest details a new pleasure!
The
objective of the game is to build up a colony with a thriving construction and mining industry,
food, tool and weapon production. The player's skillful use of resources, combined with the
irrepressible get-up-and-go of the diverse Settler characters, form the foundation for a robust
colony. Ensure the settlement becomes more attractive and it could be a paradise, if it weren't
for the neighboring races and ...Morbus, with his evil machinations!
