Settlers 3 was never topped

I can still clearly remember when I in 1995 days and sometimes nights
small bustling settlers commanded. Then came Settlers 2 ... could not wait and
again there were numerous improvements, on which one could hinfiebern. But the crowning
the number should be followed by settlers III. Clearly one was hooked and counted the days,
When the game finally would be available in stores since. All expectations were then
1998 (I think) exceeded. Never again could the game series even begin to
the tie, which had been managed with S3. S4 was ok but then was BlueByte
vekauft and was from the knuffeligen males and unique game concept a
Allerweltseinheitsbrei. Settlers 5, 6 and 7 only live off the names of bygone days.

So now to S3 (sorry for my long opening words):

Even today, ie about 15 years after first publication is the graphics in my eyes
perfectly adequate. This is primarily due especially to the great gameplay and the
lovingly designed males, houses and landscapes. You just do not disturb off
because the game has a lot more to offer than grandstanding. This is what distinguishes the game
even today.

If you want, for days can just settle and build infrastructure or with friends
Battles lead with tens of 1000 warriors. There are no limits !! Today we meet
nor to S3-LAN parties, form groups 3 vs. 3 and allow 2 hours of graduate Limit. Is After
the battlefield opened. No other game has so impressed us again in recent years.

S3 is in LAN very stable (unlike S4) and very varied with the existing peoples.
Should you opt for a fight or mode against the computer, then the AI ​​for
at that time quite far and made within the first hour you can against (if you own
6.7 or 8 PC opponents) played before but neatly on the cap get the KI has one
quickly out ... after an hour game winning should then nothing stand in the way.
Not me wrong ... it's quite fun to take on the PC and if the first few days
still 1-2 opponents rich, so it will be later more and more, before being almost invincible.
The appeal of the AI ​​game is to survive the first hour. Discerning is certainly
the game in the group on the LAN.

From my side an absolute buy recommendation !!! Even today - in 2013 - can I play
each put your heart and he will not be disappointed.
