Settlements Rising

Settlements Rising is a medieval city-building and colony management simulation. You develop a village by managing villagers, professions, resources, trade and production, while preparing to defend its growing stores from raiders.

Villagers and work

Villagers can work in over 35 professions, each with its own animations and work cycles. They gain experience in their jobs and acquire character traits, either at birth or later in life. Their needs include hunger, energy, health and warmth: they eat when hungry, buy food when their inventories run out, and return home to rest when exhausted or cold.

Villagers are born, grow up, receive an education, age and eventually die. You can micromanage the colony through trade, limited resources, production chains and production data.

Cards and expeditions

At specific intervals, you choose from a set of random enhancement cards. Each card is single-use, but you can save cards to start future games with a few of them. You can also build exploration ships and send them on missions; rewards depend on each mission's risk and may include gold, resources or enhancement cards.

Trade and defense

Earn gold by mining, trading and raiding. Traders visit the village regularly to buy some resources and sell others, with prices varying between traders. Build trading ships to exchange resources with neighboring villages according to what they import and export.

As your village's resources grow, raiders periodically attack to plunder them. Build walls and towers, and train villagers as archers or swordsmen to hire as military units for a salary.
