Finally I can think about buying at, after 3 years...

I loved Settlers 1-4, their successors were a little too shallow for my taste.

Did they? I haven't noticed - except for the fact that the game doesn't
seem to freeze anymore. You really should try S7 - yes, yes - the missions
are sometimes borderline stupid - but to get the economy stable and
make enough money for your greedy soldiers isn't easy.

IMO S6 is the best game in the series. The knights have different
talents and personality and you have quite good control over
your army.

I had hoped that Ubisoft/BlueByte would continue in this
direction with S7 - but they didn't...

The graphics are top notch but the economy model is
barmy. In places too detailed - in other places dumb.

The AI is dumb too.

Oh well - it's a good thing that we have SH and other subsims
where men are still men and one has bigger fish to fry...

Gute Jagd und fette Beute!
