In The Settlers VI: Rise Of An Empire, the player builds lively,
bustling towns in a medieval world. Everything is visible,
lovingly animated and realistic. Each settler has his or her own
daily routine, with a range of different actions and behaviours
that can be observed by the player at all times. This enables
him to get the best out of his Settlers, build up a flourishing
economy, tend to his settlers needs, and protect his empire
against danger from the outside. By expanding his empire, the
player can aspire to becoming a legendary king or queen.

The most popular features of the predecessors in the series have
been retained, and many of the fans desires and wishes were
incorporated into the new game to create a very special Settlers
atmosphere. The result is a realistic medieval world, captured
in intricate detail. The game features an immersive, yet
transparent economic system based on the resources, wares and
goods produced by the settlers in their various trades and
occupations.
