I play settlers from the beginning and can be glad about each new game. Each is special in itself and one should not compare one with the other might. I hope there will be many settlers versions and each is just as great as the last. If they were all the same, then would come at some point to boredom. Currently, I play again the Settlers 2 and after that I will make my very first settlers again. I have all the games and would want to give up none of them. Again and again I am enjoying the graphics of the latest releases and also the very old can still see. One should give each version a try and condemn not the same, just because it is not spitting a previous similar.
