last year I found an excellent link to a walk though for Settlers 1to 7 I have since had to reformat my computer and can not find this link I know I had the English version. any ideas??

Settlers3.com use to have walkthroughs but it has been down for a while. I myself would love to find a good walkthrough for Settlers 3 because I am stuck on a mission, but I can't find one, I am still looking too.

I think #3 has a guide in the options menu; it's been a while since I played and if I remember it's not actually listed as a guide but rather 'help' or 'tips'.

As far as the others.....GOOD LUCK! :P All I could ever find were the German ones I had to translate, and not always translate well.

thanks for trying. right now working on S4 I'll keep looking, thanks again

I suppose this might help then: http://web.archive.org/web/20100227124847/http://www.settlers3.com/gindex.htm

Tips & Tricks section offers a walkthrough it seems.

I found guides in the settlers directory, can't believe I did not think to look there before. If you got the game from here go to the game instal folder and then this The Settlers 3-Ultimate Collection/SOLUTION/strategy/missions they are all in there.
