That sounds very good, the very best in S2 was the transport system. In S3 and S4 I never got it to work like in S2.

What's the point?!?! :blink:

The point is that we'll be able to zoom to the settlers face and look at their expressions... that's just what the original S2 was missing!

jesus... <_<

anywayz, i dont realy think that they will have some great expressions

you mean with the mules and transporters? it's easy you just need to give them waypoints and final point where they will left the good. i do it constantly when playing as ally with my brother. we often create (in S3) really difficult maps and play allied against 6 or 8 opponents. offocurse ours positions are haveing some defensive advantage, ebcause otherwise we would get overrun too fast. but on the other hand the computer gets more strating gold and some weapons as well to start with.

Well the demo is out... anyone played?

I had a shot tonight and it's pretty zany! Good to see they used the same cursor....

Too bad that my PC is too poor to handle that game :wallbash: :wallbash:

As soon as I can, I'll buy a new one and I'll buy that game, too! ;)

Listen it's the year 2006, if it didn't have 3D it would be a travesty and it would give me 50% less reason to buy a REMAKE, because what's the point of buying something that plays and looks exactly the same with only a few extras? One reason I bought Pirates! the remake was because I wanted to explore the world now that it was far more vibrant and interesting, rather I wouldn't want to stare at those hideous pixelated fat little blobs the settlers used to be.

It'd be a lazy and inexcusable way to remake Settlers if they didn't use new graphics.
Besides, who would buy anything that looks like it's from 1995? Almost nobody that's who, and especially for the fans, who've probably played Settlers II to death. If they don't get brand new sexy visuals then they'll most likely get bored of it even faster.
And yes, graphics can make it different and interesting, that's why I wasn't completely bored with Half-Life 2 or Doom 3.

The graphics don't really work against gameplay, and it looks good. I don't mind, even though I certainly don't see 3D graphics as a plus in many games.

Anyway, the Settlers are cuter then ever. Seriously, this game is hideously sweet. Fell in love with the Settlers all over again :D

Negative: Too many bambies in this game. Need to build more hunters :P

Oh, and a note to self: No longer does a forester supply two woodcutters and thus two sawmills. I´m too much stuck in the Settlers II routine.

bloody hell it looks like Black and White 2 ... but without the creature :)

Ive got the old settlers 2, its an unforgettable game... is it french by origin?

German, I think. The original is called "Die Sedlers" or something like that unless I'm mistaken.
