Sorry to disappoint.ĭon’t be totally put off though as, although Settlers 7 lacks the combat complexity of Total War or StarCraft, it still manages to pack in a comparable amount of difficulty. In fact, beyond recruiting soldiers you have very little control of the military it’s all a bit hands-off when you start getting down to details in terms of combat. You’re going to spend far more time planning how many windmills you can squeeze into your territory than you are organising troops into phalanx formations.
What Settlers 7 does have though is a tremendous amount of city planning and a resource web that’s more complicated than trying to make jerked chicken without burning your hand and having to spend the rest of the week typing with one finger.
