Play The Settlers II: Gold Edition Online

Game Overview

If you've ever wanted to micromanage an entire Roman colony down to the last loaf of bread, The Settlers II: Gold Edition is your game. It looks simple at first—just some cute little settlers hauling resources—but before long, you're obsessing over whether your woodcutters are close enough to the sawmill, or why your iron supply keeps drying up. The Roman theme gives it a nice twist, with legionaries and gladiators instead of generic medieval troops.

The graphics were a big step up from the first game, with way more detail in the animations. Watching your little dudes carry planks or chisel stone never gets old. And yeah, it's still brutally slow if you don’t optimize your supply chains—but that’s half the fun. Just don’t expect fast-paced battles; this is more about logistics than combat. Still holds up surprisingly well for a DOS game.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
