I would be very interested to know, (before I part with my money) if there will be any substantial military buildings included such as castles/forts for the civilization. The other buildings look great but I thought (from what I've seen so far) there seems to be a lack of stone buildings that probably the Elari faction would build, as they seem to be more European in culture and style than the other 2 factions. Please tell me that this is included in the game from the start or that its in the pipeline for a future update. Could I also request that there was to be 3 different styles of castles/forts to choose from. Thank you.

For those who don't have access to the closed beta and want to see the gameplay, you can take a look at my playthrough.

I posted it in the closed beta forum also but obviously, if you're not in the beta you wouldn't be able to see it.

Has the beta been extended or was there just a gig update at the end of the beta because...?

Le nouveau Settlers va bientôt sortir et bientôt une beta
j'étais en effervescence
j'ai commencé à jouer à la série sur Amiga avec le premier, j'ai joué à tous les jeux avec plus ou moins de réussite qualitative selon les épisodes
le 7 était une bonne reprise en main et très agréable à jouer
Un nouveau settlers devait voir le jour après le 7 et a heureusement été annulé, la phase gestion était vraiment pas mal mais la phase aventure à la Diablo en beaucoup moins bien était .... beaucoup moins bien
Puis en 2019 l'annonce de la renaissance, un vrai nouveau Settlers, un site est mis en ligne: "settlers alliance", où toutes les semaines, les avancées de création du jeu étaient présentées, ça donnait vraiment l'eau à la bouche, j'imaginais comme beaucoup le superbe jeu qui allait aboutir de tout cela.
Puis plus rien, plus de news, rien jusqu'à l'annonce il y a quelques jours de The Settlers en béta avec une sortie en mars 2022.

J'ai accès à la beta, super!, je précharge le jeu, et je l'essaie rapidement pour avoir une idée globale
aie!!!
mais où est le jeu promis?
je visionne quelques vidéos de test et me remets au jeu
La première impression était la bonne, je jeu n'est pas un jeu sSttlers, il ne porte que le nom.

Graphiquement c'est joli, très joli même, de beaux graphismes et animations, un beau design, rien à dire, c'est fluide et agréable
La gestion des routes est superbes .

Mais le fond du jeu, que dire, on se retrouve sur un rts très moyen, surtout après la sortie de AOE4
Quelques bâtiments, des ressources, construire des armés et attaquer les ennemis...
The settlers c'est autre chose; même dans le premier la gestion était largement plus poussée
Où sont les éléments présentés et annoncés dans les billets hebdomadaires?, où est le rêve promis?

Quelle déception, pourquoi UBI a décidé de changer le jeu prévu par un rts très moyen?
Je pense que nous sommes nombreux a être déçu, et je ne suis pas certain que ce jeu soit une réussite
peut être contentera t il les nouveaux qui ne connaissent pas la série ni l'âme des Settlers, mais pour les autres je doute que ce soit le cas

C'était juste un petit billet d'humeur et de déception sur un jeu que j'attendais tellement depuis longtemps
C'est vraiment dommage d'avoir fait de ce monument un jeu anodin.

I pre order the settlers 2 years ago but hen I was told we all got a refund but yet game stayed in library. I put in a ticket to fix it they did. I then pre ordered the settlers again and the old version of the settlers come back with the the first settler statue reward. still no code to claim for rewards still shows old rewards.

Hi Ubisoft
Thx for the beta invite! Im a fan from the beginning with S1 on my amiga 500.
I have played about 3 hours of your new "game" and here's what you need to fix before release:
1: Take the server where u have the game stored and write: Format c:, and press enter.
2: Sell all rights you have for this game and let someone who's not complete retards make a SETTLERS game!

Hi,

I have problem finding out how to get special ressources like stone, cual, gold and so on. I cant find it on the map or how to do it. Should be easier to find out and do!

How do I do it? Please help otherwise its hard to progress...

Best,
Søren

Hi,

I am really sorry - I wanted to do more during this beta, because I like Ubisoft games in general but:

This is strategy game and as is, it is unplayable now for me because of too small zoom-out possiblity.
Strategy as this game is advertised = full overview, 3-5 buildings fitting the 27inch WQHD screen 2560x1440, it is not even tactics - it's micromanagement and annoyance.
Let us zoom-out 100x, so the buildings are 3x3 pixels, why not?, that would be strategy.

Regards
Lucas

Let me start off by stating that I am glad to see this game rise from the ashes so to speak.

The Tutorial: I believe that it is severely lacking. I had a hard time trying to figure out which unit was selected because there was an icon above them. It's been too many years since I have played the original settlers. The tutorial just throws you into the wild with a bunch of wolves to muster strategies to conceive to win. Approaching the enemy territory I had myself handed to me on a silver platter before I knew what I needed to do. If you are going to have fire rain--perhaps you should give an insight as to what that is. Talk about a fiery ambush.

The graphics are decent and the gameplay mechanics are easy to maintain. I had a hard time determining how to use the healer, I would select z and think to click on an injured unit and nothing would happen. After playing around with it I finally was able to heal my unit.

I feel this game is going to be heavily military fighting, which is not something I enjoy, I'd rather build my empire and have alliances. I do however understand that is able to beat a faction you are required to destroy their warehouse. How do you go about collecting resources that are laying on the ground that were dropped in the enemy territory or is this not available? Instead of destroying every enemy's building can we seize the buildings and make them our own?

I hadn't played that long, as I feel inadequate to start a skirmish because I do not feel prepared. I will continue to work on my skills so I can attempt to survive in a skirmish. Maybe it is possible to have a true single player on their own map, to build, collect resources, learn a bit more of the mechanics?

I wanna like this game.

Hi,

I am not sure if this was intended or not, but me and my friends S4 HE crashed every time they try to join a custom map or any edited map.
and sometimes they had to restart the PC fully in order to run the S4 history edition again sine the windows detect that the game is still up and running and cannot be triggered again.
we all use Ubisoft connect and we all run it as admin.
we did overcome this by sending the updated map via email or discord to each other, pasting it in the users with the maps folder and then it run smoothly.
but that is preventing us from playing with other gamers who want to try new maps, not just real-life friends.
