The Settlers III

Story & overview

About the game

The gods may be crazy! First the Almighty He, the highest of all the gods, sends Jupiter, Horus, and Ch'ih-Yu off into an extremely arduous competition simply on account of some occasional drinking sprees! Then the three gods are subjected to scorn and derision: Q'nqura, the goddess of the Amazons, lets the trio win in battle out of pure spite, and then their humiliation is complete!

Settlers III begins when three gods: Jupiter (leader of the Roman Pantheon), Horus (the falcon-headed Egyptian sun god) and Ch'ih-Yu (the legendary Chinese dragon). A messenger arrives with a message from the god's god telling them they must find a worthy leader to make a new people and wage them against each other - the winner escapes eternal punishment, in this case, repainting the entire universe white. You will assume the role of the leader trying to prove they are talented enough to impress their god by conquering other civilizations and capturing as many territories as you can.
