Starting this week, The Settlers: New Allies is already available for PC players on the Epic Store and also on the Ubisoft store. In the new installment of the saga Ubisoft, which is already 30 years old, players will have to work the land, build towns and cities and fight to take control of the map.
Players will be able to choose between three factions, each with a unique style and background that will affect gameplay. The Elari are skilled craftsmen and cunning diplomats, but have strong defenses should diplomacy fail. They can build services and residences at a lower cost. The Maru are an altruistic society and are great traders, but they always try to avoid conflict. They are economically efficient. The jorns are the toughest faction, hailing from the cold north. They work hard, help each other, and are better trained in combat, as well as better armorers.
There are several modes and maps to spend entire afternoons with. The full campaign allows players to slowly grow their faction, encounter new tribes, and deal with them through diplomacy or, if necessary, force. You will be able to collaborate with existing companies to create a better world. Or, if you really like to fight, there are 12 skirmish maps, each with modifiers that will test your skills. There’s also an extreme mode with unique challenges that uses skirmish missions as the basis for pushing your skills to the limit. You can start a game against multiple factions or enemies whose research trees are several steps ahead
The truth is that after several delays and cancellations, this launch went largely unnoticed. We don’t really know why, but it doesn’t look like Ubisoft has turned on its entire propaganda machine to promote this release.
