New 'The Settlers' 2019 game announced
The hours I spend on this game series, wow. Ubisoft has announced that 25 years after the debut of The Settlers, the legendary build-up strategy series will return to Windows PC, under the leadership of Volker Wertich, the inventor of the series. The Settlers will release in 2019 and promises to allow players to explore, conquer, and settle new islands in a medieval fantasy world. The Settlers will combine a fresh take on the familiar gameplay mechanics of the series with new features like a new food system and a motivational meta-game to create a unique game experience. The campaign and optional side missions can be played either solo or co-operative. The game will feature various online multiplayer modes offer thrilling skirmishes between players for long-lasting fun. The game will be also powered by Ubisoft’s proprietary Snowdrop engine, The Settlers sets a new visual benchmark in the build-up strategy genre.

That "Yippie!" when that little bearded guy finds something... Siedler 2 was good. Oddly enough, I got the warez (the game) from by chemistry teacher back in the day...

We played with my brother S2 in split screen. Required one mouse in PS/2 and one in serial port. Serial mouse had to be unplugged on boot and added before start of game. As there was primary mouse input grabbed from OS and then secondary input came via COM port configuration in game.

I remember you could play on split screen with 2 mice in Settlers 2. Not a feature I have seen before or after. The hours we played like that with my friend.
Hopefully this new installment is a decent successor to the legacy.

That sounds complicated compared to playing split screen on Amiga. Need two mice? Just plug another in.

Well, you know that PCs are not gaming consoles and every session is taken as single user session. Therefore, you can connect several keyboards/mouses and input will still go through same library and all will be used as you had just one KB/mouse.

nooo... make them fat again! Settlers IV was best.
The music is too epic. I wish they remade Settlers IV.

I spent countless hours playing Settlers 1 on a 2nd hand Amiga I bought that came with a load of games.
I can still remember the big fat manual with those images on the corners of each page for the copy protection.
I had no internet then so I played the game proper oldskool with no assistance or tips.
The kids these days don't know how good they have it.

Settlers 1~4 were awesome games. I do not like non-Settler look (tall slim human). I loved that distinct style those games had. I loved that it was me who optimized roads, intersections, storages, ...
