When you hear Settlers you think of funny people doing various jobs to build up a working economy and later an army to conquer the neighbouring funny people doing the same thing. In heritage of kings what you get is another hero pased RTS where you collect resources creating soldiers and building an army to crash you foes. Not bad as an idea but it's not a settlers game. Moreover:
1) Squad based units like in rise of nations... What is that for??
2)a very simple economy where you just colect resources like in any other RTS there is not any productiojn chain anywhere. Economy management was the most favourite part of the settlers series.
3) Heroes (I refered to this one again but it is really awful)
4) Restricted building placement
5) No more than one (!) tribe! I cannoty believe that a RTS like that has been created!!!
6) Infinite campaign (which could be good but not when you are doing the same thing over and over again

As a conclusion the creators of Heritage of kings created just another common RTS without adding something new to the kind. I hope that the next game of the series will stick to the points that made us all love the settlers series. And I really thank God that they are releasing Settlers II 10th which seems to be a classic settlers game refined.

    If you took Castles II: Siege and Conquest, any of the Warcraft series, a dash of Heroes of Might and Magic, and then a big old load of Civilization, you'd have Heritage of Kings: The Settlers. On the surface that all so... Read Full Review
