Espectro 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Hey lads I bet many of you have played one or more of the Settlers games sometime in your life. Personally I have allways loved "The Settlers" and "Settlers II" more then 3-5. This is because they removed alot of the micromanagement and put military strength into focuse in the last three. However, a demo of Settlers II - The Next Generation, is now out! This game features everything you loved about the old settlers games, in a new graphical engine. Sadly, my god damn stupid laptop here forbids me to play it, but I heard it should be really good. If you want, you can see a trailer prior download here: ftp://ftp.ubi.com/de/siedler2/s2_trailer_1.zip Download the demo here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_14523.shtml It is in german, but you can change the language of the demo to english by: Go to data/language, rename folder 'gb' to 'de' and 'de' to 'gb', Now you can play in english Cheers Tell me what you think!

Garcia 0 Posted July 6, 2006 ah, I thought it maybe was another settlers game that would be bad, but indeed, settlers 2 was possibly the best Settlers 3 was good too, but IMO too easy. I've actually never played any settlers game beyond 3 because they simply didn't appeal to as much as 2 & 3 (but as I never played them I don't know if they was any good ).

Espectro 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Im glad. Gameplay is the most important thing, a new storyline is just a bonus. So have you played it, how is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eisa01 0 Posted July 6, 2006 No, not yet. The PC is occupied by my sister atm, and I don't really have so much time to try it out before the weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
