Veni, Vidi, Vici !!!
Settlers II was one of my all time favorites! I even bought the 10th anniversary edition and played it in Virtualbox (Mac user here) all over again.
Settlers III was just as good but IV felt a bit too “messy” (it’s the one where settles abandoned the pre-set routes/flag posts).
The rest of the series was a big let down to me. I haven’t tried anything past The Heritage of the kings (S 5).
I’m so excited to test out Widelands!
edit: widelands seems to be available via MacPorts too!
- Delk 5y agoDidn't Settlers III abandon the routing by roads and flagposts? The little guys still go from building to building, but you don't set any roads or route markers beyond that. I haven't played any of the games after the third one so I don't know what kinds of changes they've made past that, but Settlers III definitely did away with the roads-and-flags routing.
- 404mm 5y agoI think you’re right. I’m looking at some screenshots and it looks like SIII don’t have any routes with posts. They still walk and “make their roads” but there are no posts. SIV seems to have moved from roads to “general loss of grass in busy areas”.
