The Settlers: Heritage of Kings

The Settlers: Heir of Kings is a real-time strategy game from 2005. It is the fifth part of The Settlers series. The game tells the story of the young prince Dario, who must reclaim his dead father's throne from the evil Mordred. Heritage of Kings breaks with the typical pattern established by the previous Settlers games. While the basic real-time strategy concept of resource micromanagement remains the same, many gameplay features have changed from The Settlers IV and somewhat resemble the gameplay aspects of Cossacks: European Wars. Heritage of Kings is also the first Settlers game in 3D.

Story

The game begins when Dario, a young boy in Thalgrund, is attacked by minions of the evil Mordred. After surviving the attack, Dario learns from his dying mother that he is actually the rightful heir to the throne. Upon learning this, he sets out in the company of his childhood friend Erec to find his last living relative, his uncle Helias. As Dario fights for his inheritance and to save the land, he and his friends must overcome many difficult challenges: they must make peace between the rival nations of Barmecia and Cleycourt, battle the savage barbarians of Folklung and Norfolk as well as the Dark Hordes, and thwart the evil plans of Countess Mary De Mortfichet in Kaloix before finally reaching the king's castle, where Dario defeats Mordred's dark general Kerberos. Finally, the heroes march on Mordred's base in Evelance and defeat him in an epic battle. With the kingdom finally liberated, Dario takes his place on the throne.
