The Settlers - Rise of an Empire Gold

When your kingdom is threatened by the evil Red Prince, you must send your knights out to take control of new territories to stand against him. Starting with only a handful of buildings and settlers, you will need to create new cities in harsh, unfamiliar, and hostile lands. Do you have what it takes to drive back the Red Prince and create a new Empire?

Today's new 64-bit release is Serious Sam 2. We had a last minute issue with our other addition to the 64-bit catalog, so we'll try to get you three games next week.

I have also updated the upcoming schedule.

I've always wanted to try one of these games, but I've known next to nothing about them. Now's a good time to try!

From what I can tell, the update to the "New games!" window is not automated, ie, the game is available to play & download but whoever updates the new games info hasn't done it yet.

Was kind of disappointed that this wasn't an action game, but once I downloaded it I found it was a very good game. Very fun, and resource management is easy and simple.

Yes it is pretty easy so far since you nver have to worry about unemployment. Pharaoh this ain't. It has me wishing for a compress time button from now and then while waiting for my knight, cart, army, settler etc. get form point A to point B but thats my only gripe.

Bottom right hand corner of the minimap, I think. Looks like a little clock.

I never liked that "unemployment" thing in CivCity Rome when I played that. Realistic, maybe, but it seemed counterintiuitive to make people DISLIKE your city. Sheesh.

The expansion works fine for me but every time I try to start the original i get this error message.
File"base\bba\Ingensnd0.bba" is invalid!
I have already tried DLing it a second time and I'm still getting the same error. Any thoughts?

UPDATE: I guess third time is a charm, everything seems to work fine now. I knew this install was different when I noticed the desktop icon this time. I'm not sure how I could have errored twice in a row. Maybe the game didnt delete properly the first time, which did happen to me once before with another game some time ago, oh well. On a lighter note the game looks very addictive.

PS works on my windows 7 also

Okay this game is EXTREMELY easy. And appearantly there is no difficulty level. There is no careful balance you have to maintain save not over harvesting the hunting grounds or occasionally having to restrict an items use to make up for a short fall somewhere else. IE: stop using deer to make meat when clothes are needed. That's really disappointing and I'm really hoping the game gets more challenging soon, although I don't think I have much more of the game to go. (I'm on mission 10). Maybe I can unlock a harder difficulty when I beat it but I doubt it. :(

youbeenhad, that particular error is a DirectX error, so you will need to update that.

Works A-OK on W7x64 and XP SP3 fine here. :-0
Generally a pretty good game, not what I expected but has enough of what I want to keep me going.

I'm also getting the "failed to load library d3dx9_34.dll" error. I have gone to microsoft to update Direct X. Is there a certain Direct X file I need to download? Direct X is already on my computer, but I don't see a d3dx9_34.dll file. There is a d3dx9 file.

Are you running XP? (I am so I can maybe help you if that's the case)
