Settlers 2: RTTR

Post by Vesanus »

Image

Hey all. If anyone is interested in a good old strategy there is an open source remake of Settlers 2. It is called Return to the Roots and it adds multiplayer (not splitscreen), addons and other stuff- it is completly rewritten. It's a good game to kill some time while waiting for Haven&Hearth getting back on its feet (hopefully). All you need to play the game is the original settlers 2 Gold edition and their mod. Everything is for Free.

Download for Settlers 2 Gold Edition - http://www.bestoldgames.net/eng/old-gam ... dition.php
Return to the Roots mod - http://rttr.info/index.php?com=dynamic&mod=2 <- It is in German but it should be hard to understand.

Cheers !

Agreed. It was easily my favorite and I'm actually excited about this news.
Access denied for me when attempting to go to the RTTR page. =(

does it have a random map generator so far? That was actually the bigegst lack of S2, I mean creating your own maps, is not that kind of an adventure to explore.

I still stick with S1 since it is just sooo classic.

Well ... there is this http://settlers2.net/the-settlers-2/map-generators/

Not a full blown end all settlers-II map generator. But it definitely takes the sting out of creating a new landscape.
(But knowing the map at forehand, as you need to add the additional stuff yourself, kinda spoils the fun if you like to be surprised by a map. For that: see: www.siedler-maps.de/page-20.htm?.., or this http://settlers2.net/editor/)
