Settlers - 10th Anniversary

[dafloppyone]

thats the danger of trying something new...you bugger up what people liked about it origionally

i know this could technically be the wrong forum, but Settlers 2 has been announced for the DS apparently....

How do you expand your territory?

use militery buildings, forts etc

 

[Tommy B]

Demo is out. Its Settlers 2 with new graphics!

Blues News Link clicky

This can't be true.

That is my favourite game of all time!

 

[PikeyPriest]

Never played 2 so i will give it a try. Ive played 1, 3 and the demo i think of 4. Hopefully this will be good

 

[CSGAS]

Also where do you mine for gold? anywhere? because the geologists never find any.

 

[benjo plz.]

If they don't find any, there isn't any .

 

[CSGAS]

If they don't find any, there isn't any .

So has anyone found any in the demo?

I've downloaded the demo , but when i load the game (singleplayer) the music stutters in the background and its really jumpy when i move the mouse to go round the map. Any ideas anyone?

Running it 1152X864 - everything max

 

[Reppyboyo]

Lower your settings would be the first port of call.

 

[Mp4]

nevermind it hated dual core , and max settings and 1900x1200 flawless in top 5 games to get so far

 

[CSGAS]

Also how do you get more soldiers to go into military buildings? Sometimes they go in until the building is full, other times only 1 goes in. Why??

if there is a supply of gold that one should fill up more

Wow! I was just playing Settlers 2 Gold earlier on today - love the game. Settlers 3 and 4 were not as good as 2, in my opinion - gameplay is unsurpassed.

I've not downloaded it - will do later on. Is it like a 3D version of Settlers 2 (I assume so) with the same mechanics of building roads to link everything? Or is it like Settlers 4 where you just wander? I missed the old days of rushing to the iron to get as many soldiers as possible! And not having to pay people like in S-IV. (unless I'm thinking of another game)

 

[Ozzie Dave]

Ahh, a new Settlers game eh?

Only games my wife ever got into was the Sims and the Settlers games....looks like she's gonna be getting that then

Identical to the origional, just with C&C Generals-esque graphics and camera zoom options.

Actually they did remove the Vikings for some reason

 

[Mp4]

They might not have removed anything , just could be the demo as it says on the tin.

 

[Cold_And_Miserable]

ok, having played the demo I can see a fair few faults with it.

[Rant]

a) roads, WHY CAN ONLY ONE CARRER WORK ON EACH STRETCH?

[/rant]

In S2 there were donkeys too once the roads became paved.

e) Geolgists
why can't I make 5 geologists and set them about looking for deposits where I want them, why have I got to put a flag at one place and then leave the one guy doing it?

The secret was to click send geologist repeatedly to send more than one.

b) unable to prioitise builds,

This is pointless when resources are moved so quickly from the HQ.
