If you haven't played Settlers, I can recommend the 10th Anniversary.

There is a Balance Mod by the community which restores partially the Balance from the original Settlers 2.

It should be easier to master the economy. The AI also takes advantage of it.
There are a lot of maps to download from https://siedler-maps.de

All Settlers games are discounted by 50% every few weeks.
But if you want to play the original Settlers 2, I would recommend the S2 History Edition, or the GOG Version together with the "RTTR" Mod.

Thanks, I picked them both up since they were 50% off.

Does the first game still break if you have a 4GB video card or larger? (The Settlers)?

You mean the original Settlers 1 or Settlers 2?

I've never heard of this bug.
There was a review for the game mentioning if you had a video card over 2GB that it wouldn't let you set graphics up on anything other than the lowest setting...
