Settlers III is better

(my first feedback comment having been moved, and having become untraceable, I have to start again.)
I find this version of Settlers very below Settlers III and I am therefore very disappointed. Here are the main reasons:
- no random maps (symmetrical maps like a battle royal, in 2022 it just sucks),
- only one tool the hammer ! but why ?? where are the axes, the saws, the scythes, the fishing rods ?
- Food is no longer an essential element of the game. However, the interest of the Settlers was precisely the management of crafts and resources.
- It is possible to attack from the start. Unfortunately this is not the spirit of the first Settlers. The interest of the game is to succeed in setting up a complex production chain which ultimately allows you to arm yourself and then attack (or defend yourself).
- Where are the towers and castles to take territories. It offered more complexity to the game. Using the engineers really sucks.
- Some resources have disappeared (water, vines, brimestone, etc.). Resource management has been oversimplified.
- Where are the forester, the geologist and the explorers ?
- Where are the priests, the temples and the miracles ?
- Finally, for a new game we could hope for new buildings, new resources, new craftsmen and some new military units. But nothing, it's the opposite, the game has become a simplified Age of Empires.
Only one positive point is the trade harbor and the possibility of buying and selling resources.
In short, if the game stays like this, simplified and dismembered, it will be without me. I'd rather go back to Settlers III. -
- @enapets the BEST settlers ever is for absurd a settlers game noone know. It's a game released in 2007 and ONLY in German, that's why noone ever speak about it but i can assure it's supreme. His name is Die Siedler: Aufbruch der Kulturen . Someone tried translate it in English. It's a shame such a perfect game is so reserved. 3 faction, totally different with different resources and use of them, with pro and contros...amazing

We play S3 at least once a year at our LAN party. We used to play a ton when we were younger, both online as well as with friends.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
