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. Alex
