I believe you are right, Funatics is pretty awesome. I loved the Cultures games, especially the atmosphere in them.

That said, I disagree with the general opinion here. While it definitely isn't the Settlers we've known for many many years, we knew it wouldn't be. And it certainly isn't the abomination that was Settlers V (which, let's be honest, was pretty much a terrible WC3 clone). Settlers VI seems to me a hybrid of Anno 1701, previous Settlers games and some new stuff. And from what little indication the tutorial is, I could definitely see myself having a lot of fun with it. Don't really mind that it's not Settlers anymore, when it's the sixth game in a series (more if you count for instance the Settlers II: 10 Anniversary), I don't mind a change of pace.

The problem is, the pace changed dramatically after Settlers II. I want Settlers II with a bunch of awesome stuff added, not this crappy RTS hybrid shite they're putting out.

I'll start playing Anno now

Anno kind of sucks... It is great promise that fails to deliver. You get to manage a lot, but you dont get to really micromanage, which is the strongest point of settlers... so you end up doing a lot of stuff manually which is then boring.

One example, you set up an trade route, with several points - however when you are setting amount of goods to be delivered, you dont set what amount you want to be delivered but what is the amount of goods left on the ship (rest is delivered). Problem with that is that if you dont get full amount of goods from warehouse (since there arent enough left), it means that one point should get a lot less than what it should... Stuff like that means a lot to game like this.

I wanted to love Anno 1701 but I did not (just uninstalled it 2 days ago).

I am off to check if there was an later patch to Settlers II remake, and if it was, I will get my copy back and play it again.... I also see there was an patch to CivIV BTS, so hopefully that is playable as well.

Really sucks that RTS fans have to wait for their games to be playable, since no RTS got out in that state in a while...


p.s. does anyone know how well did Settlers II 10th Aniv. sell in Europe?

The last one I played was Settlers I.

Same here, on the Amiga 500. I liked it alot.
