![]() Recently I wrote about the upcoming update after doing some pre-release testing, and it's proven to be a wonderful RTS that keeps the spirit of the classic Settlers experience alive. I'm just posting about it here because I feel like Widelands and Settlers 2 are examples of a rare genre or style of game that many people would not have tried.Widelands, a free and open source strategy game inspired by the classic Settlers II has now formally released the massive Build 21 update. I mostly enjoy it single player but it has online multiplayer modes as well. (Or if you like, you can play without any enemies and just have fun building a village.) Widelands is very similar to Settlers 2, but with more variety in the different tribes and better balance and it is still under active development - with developments open to suggestions. ![]() It's a village simulator and if your economic management is strong, then it leads your to a strong military, which allows you to defeat your enemies. The game is about careful choice and placement of buildings design of road network order of construction resource prioritisation - and stuff like that. Economic management is at the core of the game. The combat plays a relatively minor role in the gameplay. but it didn't take long for me to realise that S4 was an entirely different type of game, and not at all what I was looking for.Īfter a brief internet search, I found Widelands which is a free open-source game based on Settlers 2. ![]() I happen to have Settlers 4, from GOG, and so I tried that. Recently I was thinking that I'd like to play a nice village / economic management game like Settlers 2. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
