In many ways Settlers 2 is closer to Sim City than Starcraft...<br /><br />I think, because of the lack of control per unit, it felt like the little citizens of you society were more real than units in a standard RTS game. You'd sometimes spot them sleeping by the road or walking extra slowly cause they were tired. <br /><br />All in all, I thought it was a fantastic game and the only part I didn't really like all that much was the combat system. I'd rather have some other goal to strive for than to conquer the local tribes or strong armies.<br /><br />While no other game really is just like Settlers 2, I seem to remember these two games as being similar:<br />* Pharaoh (1999) - RTS in Egypt, more focused on building than combat.<br />* 1701 A.D. (2006) - Caribbean island colonization game.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />GavAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-27007304885756364682011-01-13T06:13:41.233+01:002011-01-13T06:13:41.233+01:00Definitely a game ahead of its time - and I'd ...Definitely a game ahead of its time - and I'd agree, it holds up remarkably well even today.
