You can play with up to 3 computer controlled players. Other game modes are: campaign, 1 player skirmish map, 2 players skirmish map, a tutorial, and a demo. An interesting feature, this game offers the “two mouse” mode. The graphics are very nice! The sound is nothing exceptional and there is an intro movie, which is very nice as well. By delivering gold, they train, and become better and more fearsome killing machines. In order to have a good army (quality wise), you will also have to feed them, and deliver gold coins to their garrison. You will have to forge weapons at a blacksmith to be able to make more soldiers. When it reaches zero, no more soldiers will be available. As more and more peasants get recruited, the stock of weapons from your castle diminishes. They are recruited from the pool of peasants (or workers as they are called in this game). This is done with soldiers (duh!), which will be recruited as you build more military structures. As you expand you will have to battle your enemies. How do you expand? By building a military structure next to your borders! The closer to the actual border the building is the more land you will acquire after your soldiers inhabit it. However, as I have stated before, there is more to this game than that: expansion and conquest. But raising your empire by cutting wood and gathering stone still seems pretty dull. For example, there are options like the order of item distribution, which sets the order in which items will be transported. But the game is more complex than just gathering resources. As a general rule, the more you grow the more types of resources you will need. It is needed to feed your soldiers and miners.

Also, a very important and basic resource is food. The next step is to gather basic resources which are stone and wood. There is also a limited supply of resources stored within its walls, just to get you started. The palace will serve as a storage depot, but also as shelter for your subjects. This will be your first step towards settling the whole map. When the game starts you have to place your palace. But the focus of the game is rather on the actual building your empire than conquest.

The Settlers also known as Serf City: Life is Feudal is a game about settling land, and expanding through conquest.
