The Settlers is a slow-paced Real Time Strategy computer game by German developer Blue Byte Software, first released in 1993 for Commodore Amiga and PC. It was the first game to involve construction of a settlement and allocation and management of resources, which it did through a mouse operated point and click interface. It may also have been the first game to simulate thousands to tens of thousands of single game units in real time. On an 8Mb-expanded Amiga, the game can control a maximum of 64,000 individuals, who all behave autonomously.
To further confuse the issue, when the fifth game in the series was released, it was simply called "The Settlers", also.
