This game isn't Settlers, It's so dumbed down that even food and water is not needed, big game company buys a small independent and surprise we get this crap of casual, lowest denominator game play

Good to know. Liked Settlers 2 very much, but if there is somewhere I wanted the series to go it is even more resource handling and not less.

I feel exactly the opposite. It is more interesting to me this way.

That said, pleasing people like me at the expense of existing fans of the series is probably a bad business move. Even though this is a move in the right direction for my tastes, I'm still not likely to purchase the game.

The fans also complained about this to Ubisoft since last year and the year before, but I guess Ubi just didn't listen in the end.

Settlers (the original) and Settlers 2 are probably one of my two favorites games of all time. I spent so many hours and nights playing this when I was little one :)
I can confirm that this new entry is def. not as fun as the two original ones.

Just the road system in the two first one was a big hit imo. It was amazing cause you could really try to optimize your network and this is gone since they removed that and now settlers just move anyway they want… This completly change the game.... (on top of other issues)
