Master Part 25 of The Settlers: Rise of an Empire with our comprehensive guide. Learn strategies for wool clothes, fish, and siege engines on both standard and arid maps.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by securing the storehouse for extra time. While producing wool clothes, mine iron and build up a full army of bowmen and swordmen, keeping them ready.
- 2In winter, around February, build a beekeeper and a grain farm for honey (for taverns) and food.
- 3The next challenge is obtaining 8 raw fish from an area guarded by Sabbat. You can either fight Sabbat for it or focus on the fourth challenge: sending 10 siege engine parts.
- 4To send siege engine parts, you need to be promoted again, requiring 18 mead.
- 5Option A: Get the Fish
- 6Let Sabbat establish an outpost near the fish territory (costing 1000 gold to expand to).
- 7Wait for Sabbat to build the outpost, then capture it for free.
- 8Defend the area with a large army to secure the 8 fish. Upgrading the outpost is recommended.
- 9Option B: Siege Engine Parts
- 10If you cannot get the fish, focus on producing 10 siege engine parts.
- 11This requires a promotion, which needs 18 mead.
- 12Build taverns (2) for promotion and then a siege engine workshop.
- 13General Objectives Recap:
- 14Send 300 gold.
- 15Clear wolves from the western village with your knight.
- 16Collect 250 gold from ruins in the east/northeast.
- 17Get promoted to Sheriff.
- 18Upgrade your castle and build your settlement. Start mining iron.
- 19When dispatching gold, send your knight to the village, build a sheep farm with one pasture, buy 1 flock of sheep, and build a level 1 weaver.
- 20Get promoted to Baron. Build a bow maker and sword maker.
- 21Optionally, send a thief to Sabbat's storehouse via the west gate to avoid troops and gain time. Put your weaver on stockpile.
- 22In winter (around February), build a Beekeeper and a grain farm.
- 23By spring, you should have 8 wool and a sizable army. Send wool when the timer reaches 30 seconds.
- 24After wool arrives, wait for Sabbat to set up an outpost near the fish and capture it.
- 25Hold the outpost to get 8 fish. If you lose the fish quest, be ready with 10 siege engine parts.
- 26During the siege engine quest, an optional side quest allows you to cause an avalanche to delay Sabbat's shipment.
- 27The final delivery marks victory.
Arid Map Variant:
- This map has no winter, perpetual harvesting, and honey, but limited fertile land and wood. Wild game migrates and can be overhunted.
- You have unlimited time to build your settlement before quests begin. Avoid stumbling upon villages.
- Your initial area has 1 hunting area and possibly 2 wood areas. Trees are the only fertile land. You cannot afford grain initially.
- After promoting to Sheriff, expand west for two hunting grounds, stone, and more wood/fertile ground. The east area has iron.
- Once you find all three villages, you'll receive a quest for 30 settlers (no strikers) and requests for water to be sent to each village. A fully upgraded storehouse provides 120 water.
- After delivering 3 shipments of water to the west village, a free fresh water supply is available, guarded by lions (wolves on arid maps). Kill the lions.
- The east village will ask for help digging wells. Send your knight to their territory and dispatch stone to dry wells (indicated by hand icons). You might strike water.
- To find water: send 10 stone to each of the four wells, then send 20 stone to one. A quarry south of the eastern village provides more stone.
