I have played most of the Settlers games, either demo or full version, but for me this is the one to get. Visuals are great, the micromanagement aspect is well done and very intricate, and even on Easy this game will give you a hard time! The not so good is the AI, basically it just spams soldiers and then whacks you, meaning you really need to concentrate and work to win. The other big issue I have is the occasional lack of space, and the difficulty of clearing land. For anyone using AMD Dual Graphics enabled laptops, this game won't load, so if you purchase it, make sure you have a second system without the AMD Dual Graphics system (the APU + discrete graphics).
