'''''The Settlers: Rise Ofof Anan Empire''''' is the sixth in a [[The Settlers|series]] of [[Real Time Strategy]] games made by [[Blue Byte]] and published by [[Ubisoft]]. Released in 2007, the game tells the story of the [[Continuity Nod|Darion Empire]] rising to glory in a war against the [[Big Bad|Red Prince]] and his evil kingdom. The expansion pack, ''The Eastern Realm'', released in 2008, introduces a new campaign and new [[Big Bad]], Khana.
 
Gameplay generally consists of giving orders to build a city and watching them be carried out by the titular Settlers, or peasants of your kingdom. It is possible to build extremely elaborate towns. In the later levels, millitarymilitary action becomes increasingly important as you travel into the heart of the Red Prince's territory.
 
Unusually for a [[RTS]], the game has a core cast of Knights: Marcus, Alandra, Elias, Kestral, Hakim and Thordal. These characters function as special units within the game and introduce missions in the briefing room. However, they have surprisingly well-developed personalities as well as unique abilities, and are one of the more entertaining aspects of the game.
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Zero-Percent0% Approval Rating]]: The Red Prince and Crimson Sabatt.
* [[Action Girl]]: Alandra, Kestral and Crimson Sabatt.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Khana's hair is bright green.
* [[Annoying Arrows]]: Averted. Bowmen are deadly.
* [[Big Bad]]: The Red Prince in the orignaloriginal; Khana in the expansion.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Quite a few. Most notably, Hakim Abd-Al Sar translates roughly to "Wise One of the [[Robin Hood|Hood]]".
* [[Black Cloak]]: Hakim is a rare non-villianousvillainous example.
* [[Blue Blood]]: [[Captain Obvious|It focuses on a group of knights.]]
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Marcus and Alandra both have them.
Line 20:
* [[Combat Medic]]: Alandra.
* [[Comic Book Time]]: And how. One level can take you fifty in-game years to complete, but your knights are still as young as ever at the end of it.
* [[Command and Conquer Economy]]: Partly averted. You, as monarch, give orders and your Settlers carry them out by themselves. You can't directly control any units except the millitarymilitary. You can quite safely walk away from your city and let it look after itself for hours on end if you wish.
* [[Cool Horse]]: The Knights all have them; except Elias, who has a [[The Alleged Steed|donkey]].
* [[Dance of Romance]]: Some of your Settlers will have these when you hold a festival.
* [[The Dragon]]: Crimson Sabatt.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: Once of the probable reasons for [[Mary Sue|Saraya's]] introduction in the expansion.
* [[Sequel Goes Foreign|Expansion Pack Goes Foreign]]
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
Line 44:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Thordal. When combined with [[Most Annoying Sound]] above, it's not pretty.
* [[No Name Given]]: The Red Prince. He doesn't get one in fanon either.
* [[Norse Byby Norsewest]]: Narlind.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: The Red Prince and Crimson Sabatt. [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The names]] and the outfits kind of give it away.
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Crimson Sabatt can travel quite comfortably between Tios in level 11, to Sahir in level 12, back to Vestholm for the cutscene after level 12, and then to Montecito in level 13. And that's just one example.
Line 53:
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Crimson Sabatt's hair.
* [[Sim Sim Salabim]]: The expansion pack's setting has elements of this.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: See [[Most Annoying Sound]].
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]: In the expansion, [[The Mole]] from the original game may be playable depending upon who it was.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Some of the Knights' special abilities, especially Thordal's song.
