Official description

Dear Blue Byte client. What you have in your hands is not simply a game manual.
It is an adventure guide that will become an epic and that will probably lastingly change your life in the coming months, along with your attitude towards entertainment.

"The Settlers" is a program that you can play as often as you like and that will teach you new things.

After playing for a few hours, you will agree with us when we say that this game has no equal in terms of style or graphics.

For the first time, users can enter a world so complex, so detailed, that they will literally want to plunge themselves into the game.
With The Settlers, we have achieved the goal that programmers have set for themselves since the beginnings of video games: create a new world for the player, where the adventure never finishes and can continue, based on the desires of the players, to grow for years to come.
The text in the box is very clear: if you have had enough of daily life and you would like to forget about it for a while, you no longer have to save up to buy yourself a new State.
The Settlers will allow you to construct your own refuge, one that you can modify and enlarge as you like.
We will be pleased if you can find the peace and calm in your realm that is missing from your daily existence.
In fact, we are sure that you will. This manual has been written to help you achieve this freedom; it will:
