Secondly you’ll need a butcher who will take said meat and turn it into a nice piece of you guessed it, fancy food.

So how do you get your hands on some fancy food? Well you’ll need to build a lodge, attach a hunter’s hut or two, and send them off into a nearby fertile forest to, well, kill small animals for meat.

After all they wear large hats adorned with feathers, and what look like twirl-able moustaches. Whereas plain food like bread and fish works a treat with the easy to please pikemen, that staple diet just won’t do for the snooty musketeers. But to recruit musketeers at the local tavern (where all good recruiting is done) you’ll need fancy food, which comes in the form of cured and no doubt, delicious meat. So to win the day you’ll need to recruit a squad of musketeers, which coupled with a strong supply of pikemen should make short work of the fortified tower and any defending armies. In fact, sending pikemen on their own will most likely have them cut to pieces by a fortified tower’s artillery. Settlers 7 though has been around for a while for a reason, so - despite a all the hubbub about the DRM - we were very keen to take it for a test drive.īuilding an army that can take out a fortified location requires projectile weaponry of the gunpowder variety, as simple pikemen won’t cut it. There are few titles that have survived that long - perhaps because of waning gamer interest, or the developer simply got bored of it. When a game comes out with the number seven in the title, you know it has got a little bit of history.
