Den 14 år gamla The Settlers-serien kommer i september att få en ny del i #Rise of an Empire, del sex för den som missade lektionen med romerska siffror. IGN fick nyligen en pratstund med #Blue Byte-producenten Benedikt Grindel och frågorna kretsar mycket kring hur du ser till att din nystartade stad växer på bästa sätt.

IGN AU: Where is the optimal position for establishing a settlement, and have the requirements changed from earlier games?

Benedikt Grindel: In "The Settlers: Rise of an Empire" you have a given starting location on each map where the player finds a marketplace, storehouse and castle. The player develops one settlement to a city and not - like in earlier games - several smaller settlements. "The Settlers: Rise of an Empire" focuses on developing a big city with producers inside and gatherers outside the city walls.
