In my opinion the best game in The Settlers series, The Settlers II Gold Edition is a great compilation of the original Settlers II and the Mission Pack add-on. Of course, there are other settlers in your area, too, so war is unavoidable. There exist more than 30 different professions your men can have, and many different building types. So you start to build little roads where your men transport all the different goods along.

To build any other buildings, you first must find a source for stones and wood. You start your settlement with only one main building. The Settlers 2 is an advanced edition of the original Settlers with much more buildings, workers, products, and soldiers available. The original Settlers II already deserverd a mark of 5, but unfortunately it doesn't get any bigger than that, so a 5 for the Gold Edition as well! Have fun! The sounds are great, as in the other two :) Some gameplay aspects have been improved, and computer will no longer get stuck once you build up a big empire. The graphics are better than in the original Settlers II, and there are some new features added as well. If you do click it by accident, just restart it and everything will be ok. It even plays online! Sadly, this does NOT include the intro, so don't try clicking the intro button because it will crash the game. This one also comes with a map editor, which can be fun, and is fully functional.

There are 2 full campaigns, one where you start off as shipwrecked Romans, the other you take over different continents, such as Europe in episode 1. Woodcutters, miners, foresters, fishers, catapults and forts are just a taster of what comes in this jewel. But did you ever wonder what happened to the other two versions? Well, here's Settlers 2: Gold Edition.
