Quite possibly the worst strategy game series

I really, truly, do not understand how Settlers has managed to get to a fourth release. I would have thought this game would have died out after the first. Everything about the game is annoying and confusing. You need to produce all sorts of resources from different spots, and it's not clear when you need to produce something you're not. This can lead to a lot of head-scratching while you try to figure out why exactly your miners aren't mining. You really don't have that much control of the individual units the way you do in almost every good strategy game. The combat is dull and not particularly tactical, and the graphics are pretty dated. Most of all, this game just isn't fun. It feels more like a tutorial in a free market economy than a game! Pick up Civ 3 or Age of Empires 2 if you want an historical strategy game.

I think everybody who liked the other Settler games should but this. It is much better than the others. I think it has better sounds and graphics. I strongly recomend this game.

You've just got to love these little settlers and their settlements. I've wasted countless hours playing this game.
If you've had enough Starcraft/Warcraft but still want to play something engrossing...Settlers IV is your best bet: just don't have anything else to do...like studying for finals!

Awesome

It's the most fun I've had since Age of Empires. Get this game.

Settlers 4 is basically Settlers 3 Gold

Settlers 4 is the same as Settlers 3 with enhancements and changes here and there. If you liked prior versions of Settlers then this one will fit the bill nicely. The game is still enjoyable despite its dated graphics and you can't find games like this anymore. So pick up a copy of you still can.

Forget About It

This game isn't coming out. Its been delayed and delayed and delayed again. It was supposed to come out last chrismas, then got postponed to about the end of Febuary, then to the beginning of June, and now practicly the end of July. I wouldn't be surprized if they just cancel the game entirely.

Bring back settlers 2

I have played the demo of this and i thought that it was not up to much having played settlers 1 and 2 which i thought were really good. they shouldn't have got rid of the old format. One thing to improve all of the game would be to make it a bit more realistic in the way that all the buildings were built as i ony can take about four pieces of wood to build a whole hosue. I think that they should bring back the style of settlers 2 which was a fantastic game without a doubt. I just liked the way that you had to make our own paths and get the little people to bring all your things from one end of the map to the other. I think that it has lost its original game format from the beginning which is a bad thing to loose. They should bring back the original format but revamp it but not as much as this did.

nooo way

this game is not bad.. but it is nowhere near the worth of its price, and why would you buy this game when you can buy other, better games?
