Other times you'll come across new groups that you can work with to help in the common cause. Most of the enemies are raiders who can easily be dispatched with any number of units you've assigned from your army, whether they be archers or knights, or even scouts who can run around unseen and report back about what they find on the map.

Those mechanics are fine, but sometimes you just want people to go build a damn house or go get copper out of the ground, and this does that well. So there's no endless management of everyone's feelings, or exhaustion points, need for money or desire to change their lives. Everyone knows they need to do their part, or the settlement doesn't work. There's no fatigue or frustration from your people, either. If you need hunters, lumberjacks, soldiers, engineers, etc., all you have to do is make sure you have a steady population and people to assign. All you need to do is select what you want and how many people to do it, and it will auto-train them one by one to do the work. When you grow your population, you'll have people just hanging out and waiting to be assigned a job. The Settlers: New Allies makes assigning jobs pretty easy as well. Need storage? Build a city center and roads leading to it. Need resources, have your engineers find them and set up a mine. Want them fed? Establish a farm or a fishing hut. For example, do you want people in the village? Build a home, and the population increases. The core basics of the game have been changed so that as long as you manage to do the basics, everything will be fine. You won't need to meticulously go through and make sure you're making new villagers, making sure they're fed, doing their jobs, training them, and whatnot. This involves several key aspects, but unlike other RTS titles, much of the management aspects have been simplified.

After the tutorial for the main storyline, you'll escape to a new land where you'll need to start over. The game does a masterful job of mixing two different genres into one title, as you're getting equal parts real-time strategy and city-builder. Will you be able to rebuild your society and take back what's rightfully yours? Or, at the very least, get vengeance on those who tried to pillage your homes and leave you for dead? Credit: Ubisoft The goals in front of you are two-fold: Make new friends to work together while also finding who this new enemy is and unite for a common cause to drive them from the many lands they have raided. You escape with as many people as you can to a new location where you not only have to set up a new home to survive and thrive in but now have to seek out allies to aid in your efforts. You will control the lives of a small civilization of people driven from their homelands as an outside invader raids them. The premise for The Settlers: New Allies is pretty simplistic.
