Just updated the first post of the thread with the evolution of the Settlers box art. Check it out!
ive been logging on through f/book its about the only game i play now lol
i remember the way "The Settlers" loaded on my old Amiga A500 ... (very slowly for one part) but you used to watch a Knight, Similar to the one on the box-art ride across the countryside to a piece of theme music, every time he hit the end of the piece, the computer would stop reading from its floppy drive and ask for another disk ... it took 3 mins total to load the game if i remember correctly, how they ever managed to fit the game on 3 floppy disks ill never know ... also, how said floppy disks survived being handled by me from the age of 4 to the age of 12 ... i also wont ever know.
I played and still have all the disks for settlers 1-7 plus anniversary edition. I played them all. My favorites were 2-4, just because they random generated map abilities.
I remember playing the precurser to settlers Serf City. same as settlers1 Great game series. Liking the castle empire. I figured blue byte went the way of most good game programmer jut faded off to memory.
i saw this thread earlier and was going to post that i've loved "the settlers" since the very first time i played settlers 1 on my amiga, except "heritage of kings" which i hated.deeply... then i decided that before i posted, i would visit the game-graveyard in the basement and re-install number 5, just to be sure. i've had a great day ! turns out that settlers 5 is not as bad as i remembered (even though, let's be honest, it's not a settlers game...), i'm now busily re-installing all kinds of retro stuff and having a whale of a time :--)
what a great forum thread !!!
love the game 1st time ever playing it, been playing now 4 a month straight, lol, just wish gems were cheaper, spent 325 n gems already crazy i no, have built my empire all on my own , got any tips any one
I loved the older versions, unfortunetly, my computer cant play the newer ones :(
was just talking to someone in game who said this game reminded him of settlers whateverversion, he did not realize this was the current incarnation of it until i sent him here. I guess you have a new player.
I get such a kick out of people bashing americans in these forums.... because the truth of the matter is that without Americans the technology would never have been developed for you to even be able to do it. lmao ..... 99% of all Americans could careless what you think the other 1% do care less....Quote:
