This looks wonderful. Just bought it on the Steam Sale. Can't wait to play! I know the DRM is stupid, but I've always been lucky enough to have an internet connection 24/7, and I commend Ubisoft for doing away with this particular DRM setup.
@WekBen Fuck UBI, they make it harder on honest paying customers, do you know what the pirates are doing? Playing when and where they want to, this did NOTHING to stop pirates, it only punishes legit customers and creates more pirates.
@milkerpro DRM is the start of something new...to try and prevent people from stealing the game plus incouraging people to get internet...everywhere.... i will be buying this game once i have a new rig.... i always have internet anyway :P
@soulshrine DRM is fine its just internet...it does not cause problems at all.... EVERYONE has internet... if it REALLY was a problem, it would not have been used.... it is what everyone is gonna use so just get used to it...
@Langotriel1 Ok first i checked your profile, your 16, dunno if your new to the internet.
The internet is something thats been around for quite a while, now what you wrote is kinda confusing me, its not clear what your trying to say.
Eitherway internet is bigger than you, or me, or any government. its bigger than any company. it has its pro's and con's. it is one of the few places where people can truly speak freely. it is chaotic yet peacefull. it is IMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR, BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
@soulshrine what? ... i have used the internet for as long as i can remember... ii have never gone without it... i live for the internet...but not really... but i always have it...and therefore, DRM is not a problem... i couldnt care less about it.. you comment is irrelevant
@Darkboy2525 I'm quite sure your graphic card can handle it tho it also depends on your processor and shit tho with that graphic card that must be high aswell
I have seen some serious rain during a skirmish. It was at one of those quest sites. There I got a reward to place a storm on my enemy. It rained for about a minute and got pretty dark. Nothing special though, but could be somewhat useful.
Strange, after more than 10 hours of playing this game I've yet to see any dynamic weather system other than sunshine. It never rains in my game let alone some lightening and the vegitation never seems to do anything more than quietly blow in a light breeze. When exactly does this dynamic weather come into the game? Or is it just that the engine is capable of it, but it's not included and we'll have to pay for an expansion to add the weather?
I agree with you Desert, I have played the game for a few days now, I have yet to see Snow, rain, lighting, etc. I have wondered myself if these features or part of the game or if you have to pay for them.
@kellyarch So after researching the issue further this is what I found out. You may see rain if you complete a campagin scenario (map) and then click the free roam button instead of going to the next map in the campaign, I've seen it once. Lightening is only shown when completing one of the events in 1 of the buildings, can't remember which, labratory or maybe the living tree etc. In the huge amount of hours that I've been playing skirmish, I've not once seen rain or even a slight breeze.
@80redwolf08 Yes, all my settings are maxed out to the highest setting. But it seems that after winning a scenario in the campaign, if you use the free roam option then there is a chance that we will see rain (it rained for me in free roam) and its like theres some basic day and night mode where night isn't all that dark and may have represented more of a season change rather than day and night though. But in all the skirmish games that I've played now, theres been no rain in any of them.
the next gen Settlers game! WOW!!! But The System-conditions are very stupid! Cause you must have a permanent Internet Connection and an Ubisoft Account!
@NorwegicusOnAstick I bought it 2 days ago spent all day downloading it an there is a server error that is stopping everyone in Australia and Asia from playing. Due to their new drm (copyright prevention) you have to be connected to the server to even play single player. Hundereds of people have complained to ubisoft and they still haven't replied with a solution.
yeah I found the pause by now, silly how the game keeps running while in option menu ^^
so far the DRM hasnt been a problem to me, but I value a stable connection so it hardly fails. I think there are plenty of war oriented RTS games out there and this game became big as a real economy builder. it's like saying Sim City is crap because you cant build an army! this game is just meant for another public wich still is fairly big imo.
looking forward to getting the full version today!
Just tried out the demo yesterday and it has quite some new features. Wasn't easy to figure everything out without a playable tutorial, but after a few hours it became pretty addictive. Funny how there is no option to 'save' or even 'pause' the game in the demo. Assuming that will be possible in the full game. Or is it that DRM system??
@Terclian No the same as with AC2, it's not as harmful as SecuRom and you have only a Machine limit. Means that you can just un-install the game and install it on another machine without losing an Install point.
Though you can only install it on 15 or so different machines I think, but honestly who has 15 PC's besides Bill Gates? Other than that the only hassle is Ubi servers need to be running (which is 24/7 if there are no tech issues) to be able to play. Otherwise you can't play your game.
nniiiice . . . this the tech my game will be using . . . thanX . . soo much for working on this technology. . my game will now become a reality sooner than expected . . thanX . . sSiiiighh
I Loooooooooooooooov V <3 this game cant wait for it i would pay any price if i can get it today .......... really really the settlers is one of my best game of all time........ maaaan i love the economy strategy ...... : D........

@Langotriel1 How is DRM new? its been around for quite a long while.
its prevented less people from stealing games and made more people who bought the game have problems with their game.
Usually because the DRM is rushed or broken. Hell even EA recently apologised about their DRM for the new C&C.
think more before you speak or at least make sure you aren't talking crap.
