I decided to play through some of the Settlers series. Is the

1 is trash, 2 is good, 3 is alright, as is 4.

Ultimately it's an average slow-paced series

I meant Gold, not HD

Settlers 3 and 4 are the coziest games I've ever played in my life. Nothing like watching those little fatties build their villages while you drink some cocoa and it's snowing outside.

There was a fan engine remake but I forgot how playable it was.
There's also a 3D remake.

1 has some interesting aspects like the maps wrapping around and the road system works differently. The main problem I had was the lack of comfort features compared to 2. Particularly the messages get difficulty to keep track of.
And the levels got insanely long and repetitive.

Didn't 2 have map wrapping as well?

No, Return to the Roots.

Yea I had trouble playing through 2's campaign until I found out about the super fast forward cheat. Sometimes shit just takes too long.

Can you speed it up with DOSbox?
What I used to do is let it run over night. I have no idea how I managed to beat it on the family computer.

I'm pretty sure you can speed it up with DOSbox but it's easier to just type WINTER and then ALT+1-6. I never considered it cheating because most games in this genre have those open to use.

I love Die Siedler, but I think the oldest I've played as 4. With the gods and mayans and stuff. My grandmother loved the one with amazons.

How do you feel about VALHALLA HILLS?
