Did not see this coming. Such fond memories of Settlers on the Amiga when I was a wee lad, one of the best games to grace the golden age of gaming being the 90's. I can't wait for this. Long way off but the wait I'm sure will be well worth it.

What's fall? Do you mean Autumn?

yes Autumn in our native tongue , just quoting the spiel.

Did they ever bring out anything better than Settlers II? I’ve tried a few of the sequels but none quite managed to beat it, most just looked prettier but lost the humour.

Not IMO no, Settlers 1 was easily the best, it was the most endearing version I thought. It was the one I always went back to when I was in my very early teens.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the original was being (legit) given away free somewhere. Can't for the life of me find it, now.

the dev does say it in the above video. I went looking for it also, but can't find it anywhere.

There is a free to play online version already available via Steam and a history collection to be released :-

Yep but Settlers Online is not the original. In the above YouTube video, the chap states you can download and play Settlers 1 now and the others will be available in November. I've looked everywhere, can not find the original to download.

Populous was another god game around same time, there was also Mega-Lo-Mania.

Mega-lo-Mania was a fantastic game on Amiga. Sunk an incredible amount of hours into that in my childhood. Can still remember the soundtrack and announcer in my head today.

Settlers 1 was fantastic, fond memories of playing that on the Amiga! Such a shame its on Uplay.

Uplay is excellent these days

So overdue this, still no solid release. At this point I'm actually wondering if they are just going to chin it off. Manor Lords must have them worried as it looks incredible.

Wow, totally forgot about this one.!
Noted this.....

Oh wow, so reading between the lines a liitle there, it certainly looks like they might just cancel it.

Ah man, sad to hear this. Settlers 1 is still one of my favourite games of all time. Some of the most recent ones did suck, tho.

Same, 1 & 2 hold such fond memories for me in my early teens on the Amiga. That, Dune and Syndicate amazing times.
