I've been waiting for this game to be re-released for forever. :D It's a very simple, old school RTS. You turtle for an hour, expand your city, build a massive army, and then overrun your enemy. Nothing too complicated and it's all in 2d, but it is so much fun. Unlike entries after it, there's no hero characters or complex economy, but it still has a nice, simple story. It also has several different playable factions, each with a degree of uniqueness, which is different from other Settlers games. More like C&C: Generals or something. The gold version includes an expansion that has a lot of content, so it's not at all a short game. If you enjoy the old "turtle/expand/crush" RTS games, this will be a lot of fun. There's some fairly difficult missions as well.
