I hope the game will be similar to Settlers 6, which is my favorite part. According to the video, we will need to complete quests to get the resources for the development of the city, I hope quests will be random, diverse and interesting.
I understand those who like classic Settlers 2, and want the new game to be like that part. But Settlers 2 is perfected and complete. What new could you invent in it's gameplay?
So I hope it will be like Settlers 6, but with quests, heroes (maby even vith a little bit of RPG element), direct control of an army, plenty of resourses needed to build the town, a lots of ways customise the town. Something like Settlers6+Spellforce would be interesting.
I am so dissapointed by this consept :/ I don't want some warcraft clone! But a real settlers town building economy game! Even the city building aspect of this game is not appealing cause it seems to be block/square based... SO UGLY! I really hope they would do a settlers game that is more like the settlers 3, 6 and 7!
Uhhm you do know that they made an announcement a couple of weeks ago, right?
This has become a completly different game with a different name and is not under The Settlers franchise anymore.
They also said that they would go back and try to go into the right direction with The Settlers (since they got so many negative reactions from beta testers and such).
It's actually strange that they didn't share this info here on the forum (as far as i can see).
