Marvelous relict of an older era

Settlers 4 is the last from the series that kept any standards. They had a clear vision of what they're supposed to look like and what kind of game they should be. It's also one of the last games of the previous world of not-enmassed entertainment, from before the times of "next-gen" that broke through and took over in 2006. Aside from being an almost perfect Settlers game - which I don't have to elaborate on - this game has class. I'm not even talking about the pinnacle of creativeness developers achieved here with their overall art design and music score. I'm talking about their attitude towards a player. It's the attitude of a human being before the meme-ality, delusional superiority or retard's pretentiousness. If you don't know what I'm talking about - play the tutorial to the Settlers 4 and see for yourself. It's wonderful to play this magnificent game after more than a decade and see that it's not the nostalgia - the Settlers 4 are indeed a magnificent, well put together, thought through and designed video game that aged really, really well.

Ubisoft/Blue Byte messed up on this one!

Regarding compatibility, I have the pleasure of having Windows 7, which is, in my humble opinion, the best choice for games! So yes, I am lucky! Now, to the game itself... I happen to be a huge fan of the original "The Settlers" of 1993, and to this day I still believe that it is the best of them all! And I say this, having played all 7 of them! This one lacks many things: Organization: The "settlers" are just roamers, all over the place! Roads: You don't make them any more! (the fixed this in later games!) Tutorial: Although it tells you what to do, you can get stuck very easily! Although this one is slightly better than The Settlers 3, it is still far from being perfect! I am sorry, but this is just another "sequel" which is actually a disappointment!

First Game

So Settlers II was the first game I bough. And I think Settlers 4 is the best in the series (I've tried 2, 3, 4 and 7). Really great and sometimes challenging game. It is simple and perfect.
