Settlers 3 is a fairly good sequel to Settlers 2 in just about all aspects.
User Rating: 8.2 | The Settlers III PC
Graphics are improved greatly; still not amazing, but all around 'nice'. Sound is much improved; quite a few nice songs to keep you entertained during the many times you'll have to be waiting for something in this game. Gameplay is basically the same, in which you must make a settlement and beat opposing forces in a more management / economical strategy. As would be expected, quite a bit has been changed from the previous game. You no longer need to build roads for your carriers, roads will actual appear when walked over eough. There are now 3 different units; the spearman which does little damage but has better endurance, the archer which has low endurance but can shoot from a distance (and can also shoot from towers), and the warrior who has decent endurance and great damage. These plus numerous other improvements add a little more depth to the game, and at the same time make the game a bit easier as well. If you're looking for a unique strategy game that focuses more on management and economy, Settlers 3 is a game you should consider.
