The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici (German: Die Siedler II: Veni, Vidi, Vici) is a 1996 real-time strategy video game developed and published by Blue Byte Software for MS-DOS. It is the second game in The Settlers series, and a sequel to The Settlers. Shortly after its release, Blue Byte released an expansion pack, The Settlers II Mission CD, containing additional maps, a new single-player campaign and a level editor. In 1997, they released The Settlers II: Gold Edition, containing the original game, plus the Mission CD expansion. In 2006, a remake, The Settlers II 10th Anniversary, was released for Windows and Nintendo DS. In 2009, the Gold Edition was released on GOG.com.
The game can be played in either single-player campaign mode or in "Free game" mode; individual scenarios with predetermined rules set by the player, which can be played with either another player, with the computer, or with both another player and the computer. In the single-player campaign, the player controls a group of Romans who are shipwrecked. Led by their captain, Octavius, they must use a series of magical portals to try to find their way back to the Empire. During their travels, they come into conflict with Nubians, Vikings and Japanese. In the single-player campaign included with the Mission CD, the player controls Octavius' great-grandson as he attempts to conquer the entire world.
