The Settlers III: Ultimate Collection

Blue Byte has announced that its special Settlers III collection is now available on its online store. Named The Settlers III: Ultimate Collection, the pack includes the full version of The Settlers III, The Settlers III Mission CD, and the Quest of the Amazons expansion CD. Blue Byte will also be adding a few extras, including additional maps and strategic mission support.

To commemorate the arrival of The Settlers III: Ultimate Collection, figurines based on the four different races found in The Settlers III will go on sale in mid August.

The Settlers III is a real-time strategy game featuring four different cultures - Romans, Egyptians, Asians, and Amazons - each of which has its own distinctive units. The four cultures compete to build strong economies and mighty armies to expand their boundaries. The three games included in the Ultimate Collection have collectively sold over 700,000 units, and a sequel - The Settlers IV - is currently scheduled for a Christmas 2000 release.
