Settlement Survival

Settlement Survival is a survival city-builder in which you lead people to a new settlement. You provide shelter and food, protect residents from natural threats, and manage their well-being, happiness, education and employment. A successful settlement may attract residents from foreign cities.

Shape your settlement

Choose a site based on nearby resources, then plan your layout. You can carve out land, connect rivers, form lakes and use terrain-shaping tools to customize the settlement. Build housing and recruit Mayors, whose choices determine the settlement’s morality. You also manage crime and make sure baby booms do not put too much strain on your resources.

Manage seasons and disasters

The settlement experiences all seasons, and early warning signs give you notice of disasters. Prepare for the elements and environmental disasters to protect your citizens and what you have built, or risk losing it all.

Develop and trade

Choose freely among development routes in trading, education, mining, construction, agriculture, processing, logistics and liveability. There is no fixed order for selecting routes. Each one unlocks buildings and abilities that support development, letting you focus on your strengths. Trading also lets you acquire rare blueprints, which provide powerful effects and distinctive themes and styles to customize your settlement.

Trade is central to the population’s survival. You can exchange valuable artistic items or unprocessed products, and unlock a mint to create a common currency.

Randomized maps

Each map is randomly generated, including its resources and landmarks, so every settlement brings different challenges.

Challenge mode

A mode designed to challenge experienced players presents scenarios ranging from the bubonic plague in Europe to the disaster on Easter Island.
