hmm, that doesnt sound good, ive been a fan of the management driven settlers series ever since settlers 2 came out, it sounds like a real shame that they would make it more like a typical rts
Settlers 5: Heritage of Kings
Being a huge fan of the Settlers series, I downloaded the demo of HOK today... I expected a lot of it but it was a real cold shower to me 
All the things that made the Settlers series special are gone... I found the game mechanics to be a lot like Warcraft 3 and Age of Empires 2 and the payday thing reminded me of Dungeon Keeper. After playing for 20 minutes I gave up because the demo didn't make me want to play it... I'll turn back to Settlers 4 because I want to play a Settlers game, not an Age of Empires rip off
So much for my first impression.
Has anyone else played the demo?

I played a few demo levels of S2, and yeah, I liked it
But can you tell why it is way better than part 3 and 4?
In 3 and 4 I was glad I didn't have to build roads anymore, because they needed to be made, but they could ruin a beautifull spot for farms or a castle

Thanx for the the news about S2 Gold

Doesn't run on the XP computer here as well, and then there are still people wondering why I don't upgrade to XP on my own computer
Going to try that tomorrow then... I hope it works for me, it didn't work with Carmageddon
Hum maybe its couse of SP2. I have SP1 and i dont even need to do that compatiblity option. I would show you a screenshot but it doesnt work in window mode
oh i do get a COM2 error but you can just press ignore that the game continues, thats couse S2 can use 2 mouses to play in split screen.

PS2, that's the strangest thing. I don't know if it's considered as THE com2 port... but it's the only (purple) one where my mouse fits.
Btw, my n00bass little brother was complaining about me having settlers 2 on the family computer... He thought it would take up valuable HD space

yeah. those precious 20MB
Yup, those are the moments I feel like a genius when it comes down to computers :heh:
Oh, and I also have SP2... it also broke my mothers favorite game of Solitile (Mah Jongh) She didn't like it: "stupid computers, can't you do something about it son?"
"No mom, sorry, blame it all to Microsoft"
(don't feel like explaining DosBox, since I'm having trouble working with it as well :emb: )
