What's SV? Warcraft isn't what he is looking for.

Here's a few games that are in the Settlers family. BTW...I purchased
all the Settlers V games & I live in the US. I paid thru the nose for
both Settlers V "Gold" & the expansion pack (Legends) I didn't mind
because I love the game so much!

Ok.....1st there is a older game called "Knights & Merchants" It was
made in 1998 & runs under WinXP for me without an issue. You'll be
able to find on eBay for cheap. Another game to look @ is Tropico,
which there is an expansion pack as well. You'll spend short money on
both games & thta will keep her busy for a good long while.
