Hope this is not off topic, but I am a longtime fan of Settlers II and to be honest I love playing it. However, I have recently found Widelands -
http://wl.widelands.org/ - which is basically a clone of settlers II except under current development and open source. For any of you guys on Linux (like myself) it negates the need for any emulation (dosbox) which is a bonus. Especially for people like me who enjoy a game on their laptop, but don't like DosBox chewing up the battery and spitting it out.
Anyways, you guys probably already knew about widelands, but I didn't have time to read 36 pages of thread to check fo re-posting faux-pa's
