| I've been playing The Settlers II since 1995. At first it was P-100, VGA 1mb, HDD 1,2Gb and RAM 16mb!!! I deem The settlers II is the best one from the line. All consecutive versions were losing their orderliness and economic structure gradually from 3 to 5. They became more Warcraft-like, Age-of-empires-like and Command&conquer-like. (Nonetheless, I spent huge amount of time, playing the fourth one).
I yearn to see roads and flags again in Settlers II (10th anniversary edition). Do you remember those wonderful traffic jams which appeared on the roads near highly active construction sites when your country expanded greatly? Do you remember those shortages of loaders at far-away areas when you have captured enemies territory and cant build there anything because there are no loaders on the roads? And certainly these magic words: THUNDER and WINTER!!!! And how shall fans understand the way buildings are constructed in Settlers 5: they are not constructed; they EMERGE from the underground like a formidable monster in low-quality RPG!!!!!!!
And what has happened to foresters and fishermans shacks in sequels?
I am waiting for the moment when I can install Settlers II (10th anniversary edition) and find out whether the game has turned back to its origins, whether graphical form stopped prevailing over construction ramification and structural variety.
