Settlers III opens with a cartoonish animation of three gods from completely different mythoi who should obviously never be seen together: Jupiter leader of the Roman Pantheon , Horus the falcon-headed Egyptian sun god , and Ch'ih-Yu the legendary Chinese dragon. They're all sitting around on a luxurious floating marble city getting fat, bloated and smashed off of the food and alcohol offerings from their worshippers.

A messenger sent by the head cheese bet you never knew there was one guy who ran the whole show for every religion, did ya'? HE as the head god is referred to in the game brings Jupiter, Horus, and Ch'ih-Yu before HIM and explains that they must find one among their followers who has the talent, ambition, and far-sightedness to lead their people, otherwise HE will destroy the universe and begin anew with a different set of deities.

That's where you come in. It is your job to lead your people to glory by conquering other civilizations and capturing as many territories as possible. When the game begins, you can opt to play an entire campaign or a quick single map scenario. Like most other RTS games, you're presented with a briefing screen in the beginning of each mission which outlines your objectives usually to claim the entire land mass and destroy every other living being in the vicinity and a map showing the area of contention.

You can also choose to play a multiplayer game with up to 19 other players or, if you've never played any of the previous games and you're not familiar with Settlers' control system, you can jump into the included tutorial and learn the basics of the game.

Unfortunately the tutorial only teaches you the basics of the game and you must figure out the advanced functions on your own The basic formula that guides RTS games on the PC involves holding a territory, constructing buildings, gathering resources, raising an army, and beating the crap out of your opponents. Well, Settlers III isn't one to stray far from the formula. Like Settlers and Settlers II, the most important task in the early part of Settlers III is to expand you territory so you can have first pick of the resources available on each map.

You can either build defensive structures to mark your presence or send a group of pioneers to claim the land as your own. After you have enough land, you can begin to harvest trees to create lumber, cut stone for buildings, mine and smelt iron for weapons, etc. As your ultimate goal is to wipe out the other civilization or civilizations in the mission area, you'll also want to build an army comprised of swordsmen, spearmen, and bowmen.

As I said earlier, it doesn't stray too far from the RTS formula. Settlers III does try to mix it up a bit by offering players the choice between three different civilizations.
