Gold Edition

To all those that are saying that this is not Gold Edition, it IS Gold Edition, you just don't know how to start is thanks to how Ubisoft created expansion. There are two separate executable's to start game, one starts Settlers 6 Limited Edition with base campaign and other starts Settlers 6 Easter Realm with expansion campaign. It works the same way as with the original disc release. So basically if you want to play base campaign you start game by pressing Play in Galaxy or by starting Settlers6.exe from base/bin folder (e.g. F:\The Settlers 6\base\bin), if you want to play expansion campaign you need to start it using additional executables (button near Play in Galaxy) or by starting Settlers6.exe from extra1/bin folder (e.g. F:\The Settlers 6\extra1\bin). As far as the game goes, its not like classic Settlers 2/3/4 but it is still quite nice RTS with good graphics even by today standards. Only one thing missing for me is Polish localization, fortunately I have polish version on a disk).

THANK YOU GOG

Thank you so much GOG! Fixing the issue with video memory that ubisoft nor steam could be botherd to fix! As often as possible I'm buying here! This is one of my favorite games of all time, a bit biased as it introduced me to city-builders but it is brilliant in it's own right. Again thank you GOG!! I got this on steam a while ago and it didnt work properly due to the bug where if you have more than 2gb video RAM it wont load textures, but GOG has FIXED this!! THANK YOU!!

good old RTS

This is a really nice old school RTS that really sent me back in the 90s but with much better graphics. There are some limitations and QoL improvements that we are used now in 2022 but the game is very enjoyable if you turn a blind eye on a couple of archaic mechanics here and there. Also hey guys it is the Gold version, in GoG Galaxy just go to the extras button next to play and find the additional executables. If you have the dowloaded version my guess is you can find it at the extra 1 folder, the trick is that it is also named Settlers 6. My folder for example is D:\GOG Galaxy\Games\The Settlers 6\extra1\bin and there is the .exe I hope newer Settlers will eventually drop the uplay requirement and land in GoG sometime in the future.

GOG, I LOVE YOU!!!

I can't believe someone has finally fix the texture problem! :D I'm so happy, this is my all time favourite settlers game. I've contacted Ubisoft about the texture problem before but they wouldn't do anything :/ Thank you so much GOG for fixing what Ubisoft should have fixed a long time ago :) Well worth the money spent (even if I've bought this game three times now!), if it means supporting a team that will do whatever they can to please customers!

Aww yeah!

Wasn't this game on sale for like 2 min ago!? Dammit! So I got the game on steam but for some reason they just don't care to fix the grafic issue. But here I am, buying the game again, cause that's how good this game is! Forget about settlers 7! It's not even close to compare how well made this game is! Thank you so much GOG for getting this game back! And thanks again for making the patch, so I can finally play this game with the grafics I desire!
