Duck and Cover

Turned it into Warcraft 3, thats what they did. Most automation is gone, battlestrategy = rush, and laggy 3d graphics ( that don't even top s3 graphics ).

The Settlers was awesome. Now it is not. A fucking pity, I say.

Well maybe you two should get married and settle down.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAaaaargh

EHUEHUEHUEHUHEUHEUHEUHEUHUEHUEHUEHUHEUHEUHEUHEUHEUHUEHUEHUEHEUHAheaheuiaH.

Masterful.

Yeah, I saw the commercials for Heritage of Kings as well. Thought it looked kinda cool.

Never played Settlers games, though.

It's all in your heads. There was never any new settler-games, since Settlers 2.

*rocks in chair, nodding*

A new Settlers game? I'm still playing the original, never touched the sequals.

Settlers 2 was alright. The series went downhill from there.

Is it still playable nowadays?

I played Heritage of Kings, and thats what this is all about; They just turned it into a cross of warcraft 3, empire earth and age of empires, removed most of the automation and basicly just made it not Settlers. ( Don't know why they'd call it The Settlers doh )

The games were playable up to Settlers 3, which had everything nicely balanced and made everything outside of combat feel calm and relaxed. I'd turn it on when it was winter, just to get a small reminder of what spring sounds like.

Settlers 4 started introducing statues and a bunch of other useless crap, so I don't know how bad it is really, I just know I can't stand playing it.

Which one should I play?

Is it similar to Caesar?

Start from the bottom.

Play the first one, it's still awesome.
