The Settlers« II - VENI, VIDI, VICI is a strategy-laden economic simulation and the follow up to the Blue Byte bestseller "The Settlers".

After fighting a losing battle with the raging sea, a brave people find themselves stranded on an apparently uninhabited island; their ship destroyed. The survivors, whom we will call the Romans, must rely on your help as they are challenged to the ultimate test - survival.

Food and building materials must be developed, for the productivity of future shipbuilders, foresters, brewers and scouts depends on it. Construct gold, coal, iron and granite mines. Cultivate the land, build farms, establish fisheries and hunting grounds, build up your stocks of animals and manage forests; the well-being of your subjects rest in your hands.

But don’t be lulled into a false sense of security, danger lurks everywhere. Prepare to defend your hard-won kingdom - for you are not alone! Watch out for the wild Vikings, hot-blooded Nubians, and the technologically advanced Asiatics. Send out your scouts, position your soldiers on the borders of your kingdom, build lookout posts, and start construction of vital catapults ... let the battle commence!
