Awesome game

I originally purchased it back when it first came out. Loved playing it and I am hoping they are going to update the game so I can play it on Win 7, 8, and 10. They would have to make it playable on 32 bit and 64 bit systems. I really miss being able to play it since getting the newer OS's it will not play on. There is an issue with the com files. If you are not going to update the game then at least give us the com files and some files that will allow us to load it onto the newer OS's. It will not even load on Win10 and I think I remember having the same issue on Win7. I love this game and hope you will revamp it so it works on the newer systems, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pretty PLEASE.

After so many years, still the best one

This edition is the best in the entire franchise to me. It stays true to it's original DNA from the very first Setllers but with enhanced graphics and a very challenging campaign with great replay value. Unfortunately ever since Ubisoft took over Settlers, no other game that came after offered the same game play and atmosphere. The graphics still > many other games that are developed almost 20 years later and the music is simply stunning and beautiful. I'm one of the lucky few to get my hands on the Vikings expansion, including English voice over. The Viking campaign is a lot tougher but equally fun to play and replay over and over again. Now just waiting for Pioneers of Pagonia to be released, which tries to go back to the roots of the Settlers series; something Ubisoft failed to deliver.

High-point for Settlers but room to grow

Settlers 2 is a great village management RTS game. The combat plays only a minor role in the gameplay, as economic management is at the core of the game. The game is about careful choice of the placement of buildings; design of road network; order of construction; resource prioritisation - and stuff like that; which if done well will lead to a strong military, allowing you to defeat your enemies. (Or if you like, you can play without any enemies and just have fun building a village.) It's a great game, but it does have some shortcomings. For example, the AI is pretty weak, and there are some cheesy tactics that can devalue some of the tactical side of the game. But these issues are only relevant once you've played for a long time! After Settlers 2, the Settlers games changed direction in a big way. The style of gameplay in S3 and beyond is very different. So if you've enjoyed Settlers 2 and are looking for more content in a similar style, try the open-source game "Widelands". It's very much like Settlers 2, but with more variety in the different tribes, and better balance. (And it is still under active development.)

2nd best in all the series!

This is, by far, one of the best games I have ever played, and definitely the 2nd best in ALL the series of "The Settlers", with the ORIGINAL 1993 The Settlers STILL being #1 in my honest, humble opinion (actually, 90%+ of players agree with that!). The graphics and animations are cute, it is very close to the 1993 original, and the AI is not that hard to beat, even though some people find that to be something a bit negative. The only issue I have is that the buildings must be chosen from different tabs, unlike the ORIGINAL 1993 where you just had 1 window and cycled through it, AND that some buildings are very similar, which can be a bit annoying! other than that, I love this version <3 And WOW! It is currently sold at only 2.5 euros??? This is a must-have deal that every RST fan must definitely get!!! Easily 5 stars!!!
