The game was designed and co-programmed by Volker Wertich, creator of the original Settlers game. Having consulted fan feedback from the first two games, Wertich wanted to expand the scope of the third installment as much as possible, whilst preserving the elements which made the series unique. Although the core supply and demand-based gameplay is broadly the same as in previous titles, many of the game mechanics have been altered

For example, combat is more involved, with the player given direct control over their army; roads are no longer necessary to connect buildings
