The Settlers 7 gets update, new DLC

A new DLC pack for Ubisoft's recent PC strategy offering The Settlers 7 has just gone live, offering a brand new campaign and two extra maps.

Simply known as DLC Pack 3, it offers a new five-map campaign which Ubisoft claims should occupy you for the best part of 10 hours.

There are also two new maps for the scenario game mode, which apparently adds up to an additional 10 hours of gameplay.

The expansion is available now from UbiShop and all your standard digital retailers for $14.99.

There's also a new patch available for the excellent Blue Byte-developed RTS. Update 1.11 adds a new map for skirmish and multiplayer called Monhaim Valley, along with the following tweaks:
