If you expect a Settlers (1-4) game you will probably be disappointed. But it really is a great strategy game with nice new gameplay elements.Indeed.
Check out the video above for some gameplay! It's nice and all but don't expect your known building game Settlers was before Buildings are build in seconds as soon as the materials and the workers are at site.spwolf said:so do we have any gameplay info? This does not look anything like real Settlers (for instance Settlers II).... but not as bad looking as 5 and 6... so what is it really?

check out the second part of the preview video I linked @ 2:42.Danneee said:What?! One of the great things about the settlers games were watching your little dudes build houses.
Palmer_v1 said:Are you sure? That boxart is telling me that mercilessly killing little dudes while they TRY to build houses is the greatest thing you can do in the game.
tokkun said:OR...maybe it is actually representative of the different cultural viewpoints on the impact of colonization during the time of European empire building. The Euro cover represents the whitewashing of history by former imperial powers that are guilty over the long-lasting impacts of their colonies in Africa and Latin America. On the other hand, the US box art shows the brutality and violence that come part & parcel with settling a new land, representing the US Anti-Imperialism movement of the 20th century.

This could be the perfect American average joe Settlers.
It does that now.bhlaab said:You know that feeling you get when you see douchey Sega CD ads?
I can totally see this doing the exact same thing in 10 years.
This would be great! It works perfectly fine in The Saboteur and even Black and White had some major changes to the environment according to your actions.Ogs said:Just had a thought....
Imagine if going the nicey nicey city building looks like as it does now...... but when going to war, things start slowly turning dark and nasty like the US box art ? (Panning from a nice village to a battlefield, would look pretty mad).
Would be a huge amount of effort though, replacing all the models n such ....
The demo is not out yet. If I got this right in the German forums then today was Gold-Milestone. So the game is finished and they can start making the demo.Andy said:I have not played the demo, but watching that video makes it seem interesting.
I don't! It kills the settlers feeling for me But if more people think like you, and I think this is the case, then they did it all the right way.I like the idea of the tetris like expansion slots on buildings.
ditoI also dont like the too quick building and seeming emphasis on combat. I always liked settlers games to be about the slow rise of an economic empire, like the anno series.
My favorite is Settlers 1 tbh. I like the new traditional Settlers games (Settlers II Anniversary and its successor which wasn't released out of Germany IIRC)Settlers 2 is still in my top 5 games of all time, and this is quite different, but it should be fun.

I hope you can settle on BIIIIG maps. The one shown in the video is really small. But they pretend in the official German forums that the full game will feature some much bigger maps.

I'm talking about this one: http://siedler.de.ubi.com/home.php
I hope this game doesn't end the Settlers series as we knew it entirely
AndyD said:I have never played the new 2. Looks like a modernized version of the classic with the road mechanics, flags and all. Looks fantastic. I will have to track it down, despite being german only. Import, here I come.
This one right?
Settlers 2 - The New Generation or something along those lines?

It's "The Next Gerneration", but yeah thats the game. :D
You an get the Gold verison (Settlers 2 + viking addon) for 10 Euro.
uhm! This was a Settlers 2 game like the name states perfectly. Miracles and realtime military were introduced with Settlers 3. So if this was a letdown for you it's kinda like your own faultFoxSpirit said:Settlers 2:TNG was such a huge letdown. They completele reworked the military and completely cut out the miracles and gods. Boooooo.
Nope!As to tetrising, I see it as doing two things from the two videos: either expanding the same building type into its next evolved version but controlling the direction and its footprint, or setting up an outpost in a controlled/pretty fashion.
You can/have to take over whole sectors.I like the idea of easily creating an outpost in a controlled/pretty fashion because its visually pleasing and convenient.
nope. You have to use the tetris system everytimeBut I also hope we can free build if we need to.
But it is You can barely place all you buildings there for a proper production because they are really big. Especially the farms.As to map sizes, the map does not look that small overall,
every hub you can see on the map is the center of a sector you can take over. Those lines visualize the connection between those sectors.the map indicator in the top right makes it seem like we are only seeing a fraction of the overall map. I still dont get the way those connections and hubs work, so I hope for a demo soon. Although if the game is out first, I will just get it.

This should interest a lot of people, and deserves it's own thread, but Settlers 7 is FREE to download.
Link: http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/e...ttlers-7-Paths-to-a-Kingdom-Gold-Edition.html
I don't understand why it's free, all I know is that it's free. It's a good game, and is usually much more expensive. I don't know if this is an Australian exclusive or not? But it's on the Australian page.
This deserves it's own thread but I don't have the ability to make a new thread yet. If a mod see's this maybe they could make a new thread?

Bisnic said:Is it just me but... i can't see any pictures of boxarts in the OP.
ColonialRaptor said:Is the dead link just a page of text?
Just press F5, for some reason I had to refresh the page from that text and code page each time and it will take you to the next step.
MotorbreathX said:Nah. I try clicking the continue button on the bottom and it doesn't do anything at all. Basically like clicking the background.
ColonialRaptor said:What browser are you using? Do you have another installed?
I was originally trying in Chrome and I had to load up Firefox in the end in order to get it to work as well.
