- Serflings is a remake of The Settlers 1 (Serf City in some countries), staying close to the original but adding enhancements like higher resolutions and network play.
- Requires an original Settlers 1 file (SPAE.PA, SPAD.PA, or SPAF.PA) for graphics and sounds, which can be found in the game's directory or the History Edition's default path.
- Compatible with both DOS version and History Edition files; the latter is sold by Ubisoft individually or as part of the History Collection.
- Supports loading original saved games by copying ARCHIV.DS and SAVE*.DS files to the remake's folder.
- Controls mirror the original, including special clicks, with additional keyboard shortcuts for actions like scrolling, zooming, pausing, and toggling sound/music.
- Command line arguments available for preview mode, data validation, and system info display.
- Features include all original trainings, missions, custom games, AI, save/load functionality, high resolutions, smooth scrolling, zoom, and LAN network games (1v1).
- Missing or planned features: building replacement, menu/building timers, scrolling during path construction, more network players, additional languages, and Amiga file support.
