just played settlers 1 / serf city

https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/serf-city-life-is-feudal

https://www.myabandonware.com/game/serf-city-life-is-feudal-21o

its the worst game I ever played in my life

im winning the game (mission 2) with cpus but for some reasons:

-my steel production is too small, its all used so i ordered to build another steel factory, but its never finished. even though i have wood rocks and people. nigger game keeps it unfinished

-for some reason I have 600 people but all of them do not have class. when I try to do something like build building, they don't do anything

-I have 50 or more warriors. I order them to attack something but those nigger just walk around. I cannot click them and order again. they just do nothing

-distribution settings are broken and doesn't work. and icons don't tell anything

-nigger interface has zero text and explanations, it just have nigger icons that all look the same

-nigger game says in manual that in "missions" you have to destroy cities to win. but I destroyed all enemy castles and nothing happens

-you cannot kill civilians so when their buildings and town are destroyed you have 300 enemy civilians walk randomly on entire map, they look like ants and you cannot see anything but them

only graphics and music are high level in this game but gameplay and bugs are shit

shit game for shit people. like you

2nd game was better. The first game has issues because it came out during that weird period of dos when they transitioned from EGA/CGA to VGA/SVGA so as such the UI is shit and takes up too much of the screen because its running at 320x240 and not 800x600. Second game allows that so you'll have a better time. Only reason to play the first game is for nostalgia but if you want to have a good time play its sequels.

Settlers 3 is probably the best for newcomers though because mechanically its simplier and the UI is easier to work with.

also, the game is very slow and boring. even early missions take hours to complete

and it's unbalanced and unfair, the winner is the guy that got all types of mines at beginning and a lot of land to expand. there is few players so they cannot choose the best place, only one of them can

>Most likely you ran out of tools, or your logistic network is just fucked.

no idiot, I had plenty of tools, serfs, resources

and other people also confirm this BUG:

http://www.the-spoiler.com/STRATEGY/Blue.byte/settlers.1.html

>I've found two bugs to date:

>1. I noticed the same problem somebody else has mentioned: occasionally the game will "forget" that a building doesn't quite have all the supplies it needs, and not deliver lumber. The same solution mentioned by the other poster worked for me: change the demand on that road by adding a construction project or simply wiping the road and building a new one.

well, actually it seems to have SVGA. the menu and default ingame is 320x240 but you can click SVGA in options to switch to 640x480 or 800x600 (i think the latter one because it looks sharp). the problem is that even at 800x600 when you open windows with building or some settings, there is no text, even when you hover. so you have 30 icons that look similar and zero description. if you want to know what icon does you need to open fucking manual (it's shit by the way)

and 320x240 is unplayable because it has so small field of view

this game becomes more nigger every day. soon it will be niggest

1.start mission. some shit map, look for castle placement. computers choose their. there is no suitable place for me anymore. with this nigger location that was left there is no way to win game. = it doesnt matter what do you, the winner is the one that got best location

2. play. build great city. start attacking opponents. I always lose. turns out I have no gold. I dont have gold because I ordered to build gold foundry but it never got built because there was no road connecting it. nigger game didnt show message or sound effect, it just did nothing for hour. it wasnt even visible there is no road because of hills and other buildings.

i regret i lost time for this shit. now i cant take back that time


000000  No.15733098

more bugs that I noticed:

-ordered a gold smith - was never finished because didnt had road. it was not visible because of hills and other buildings. nigger game didnt tell anything.

-enemy can attack in the middle of my property, i can only attack on their borders

-i had great economy with a lot of food farms etc and blacksmith (weapons) and gold. i destroy enemy farms so mines didnt work. yet for some reason nigger game showed that enemies have 2x stronger armies than me and they beat me in every battle. they also had high level knight and i low level

-at early game I order to build 5 buildings at same time. I have only few niggers but they build it quickly. at late game I have 500-1000 niggers and many resources, but even simple constructions take forever or are never done. all niggers are displayed as unemployed, but when I try to employ them, nothing happens. one nigger just walk on construction place but he never gets planks or stones to build

-if you create new roads or adjust them, it takes hours before your little niggers will use them

-if you mine resources but don't use them they go to castle. but if later you need them, they are never used. if you have blacksmith you need fresh produced iron and coal, because the one from castle will be NEVER used. I had millions of stacked resources, but when I had no mines the nigger game stopped producing everything. stocks in castle are never used. you need to actively produce stuff if you want it to be used. so if you dont have coal mine but have 100 coal in castle, you cannot use coal.

-the nigger game cheats, even if you destroy food production and mines of your opponents, they still get free resources and are able to produce high level warriors and other stuff

-when I send niggers to castle to "train", they never come back, the training takes forever and I end with 2 niggers in huts instead of 3.

-when opponent attacks me, he always sends 4 level warriors, but when I attack I have 1-2 lvl warriors. I dont even have 4 level warriors

-on warrior settings there is a lot of strange nigger icons, but when you hover on it there is no description. I also read nigger manual from start to end and it doesn't explain those buttons. only author of this shit game knows what they do

worst game ever. authors should be holocausted and game banned from sale

>-ordered a gold smith - was never finished because didnt had road. it was not visible because of hills and other buildings. nigger game didnt tell anything.

Game has a shit perspective method sadly can't fix that try to be aware of this that castles and other tall buildings will cover your roads, the game prefers you spreading your buildings out - see how the AI builds. Its a bit shitty but its to be expected from an old Dos title like this.

>-at early game I order to build 5 buildings at same time. I have only few niggers but they build it quickly. at late game I have 500-1000 niggers and many resources, but even simple constructions take forever or are never done. all niggers are displayed as unemployed, but when I try to employ them, nothing happens. one nigger just walk on construction place but he never gets planks or stones to build

Never do this, you have to go in order properly and take it slowly. You build up your basic buildings one by one, when it looks like one building is close to finished, start planning the next one and so on until all your basic material buildings are finished. Then and only then can you start mass planning, otherwise the AI will get confused and try to spread your resources out, resulting in your soft locking yourself or the AI prioritising the wrong buildings. Its a bit shit I know but again early dos game.

>>15733098

>-if you create new roads or adjust them, it takes hours before your little niggers will use them

You're either building the roads too long resulting in a serf having to walk too far. Or you've run out of serfs and are having to wait for the game to produce more. Reproduction rate is specified at the start of the game in the difficulty settings.

>-the nigger game cheats, even if you destroy food production and mines of your opponents, they still get free resources and are able to produce high level warriors and other stuff

This is well known, only thing you can do is change the difficulty settings to make it fairer. Lot of games in the DOS era also cheated similarly because programmers would occasionally get lazy. There's a reason Westwood was considered the best of the time for RTS.

>-on warrior settings there is a lot of strange nigger icons, but when you hover on it there is no description. I also read nigger manual from start to end and it doesn't explain those buttons. only author of this shit game knows what they do

They added that whole description thing in Settlers 2. As I'm aware the buttons control the rate in which your soldiers attack or defend and also display the morale of your soldiers. The others refer to Knight training for when you want to level up your soldiers to knights.

>-if you mine resources but don't use them they go to castle. but if later you need them, they are never used. if you have blacksmith you need fresh produced iron and coal, because the one from castle will be NEVER used.

You have to set your storehouses and castles to allow for collection. Its a pain in the ass to do though because of how terrible the UI is.

Honestly OP probably try Settlers 2 instead, you'll have a vastly better time. I personally don't like Settlers 1 for the reasons you explained and most of the defence of the game can be applied to that its an old game. Settlers 2 had far more updates and there's even been several modern remakes as well.

I think you are just bad at the game.

I was like 11 when that game came out and I was able to figure it out.

And back then they didnt even have text names for things you had to know what the icon was for the building you wanted.

Videogames were a mistake


74b622  No.15733358

>>15733244

I was even younger than you and I could figure it out too, but its been so long I can barely remember how to play it. I think cause that's how things were back in the 90s you'd force yourself to learn through trial and error. Whereas thesedays we've been taught by games that they have to hold your hand and spell everything out to you. So when you go back to play these older games you can't help but feel really lazy about it.

Since I grew up with Settlers though its still fun. But OP should take my advice and just play the damn second game.


1987f0  No.15733415

>>15733358

100% agree.

11 year old me loved settlers 1 but that was a different era.

14 year old me dropped settlers 1 like a stone when settlers 2 came out. Because of muh 640x480 HD graphics. And even plugging 2 mouses in to the same computer and playing multiplayer.

>>15722906

Settlers were good only when they turned to bit more Blizzard RTS approach with 3 and 4 but even these 2 are only really good for campaigns and human vs human multiplayer because AI quite sucks. Every other games just sucks more than 3 and 4 in all fronts.

Most people consider 3 the best one but 4 can change res to 1080p quite easily giving you a very nice field of view so go for its campaign first. There is fan remake of 3 in the works and Ubisoft realized they cannot made good games so they are remaking all the games at once.

If you want to really see 1 or 2 and do it before remakes finishes, go play the remake of 2. You might as well play 4 right now because I am pretty sure Ubisoft will half the amount of stuff on the screen.

Have to second Settlers 4 being meant for multiplayer

>Sending 20 thieves to steal all of the other guy's gold

>Border creep wars

>Legitimate battles with spell usage instead of the single player curb stomp

AI will typically go braindead too after the first engagement. I remember killing off their military in a skirmish and them never rebuilding. Even their peasants stopped working.


74b622  No.15733565

I never played 4 because at the time I was still playing 3 with its expansions. Settlers 3 was good times though there were bits that felt a bit under developed such as the eco-gameplay, some Civs had OP as fuck eco powers which meant you could just wait out your enemies and win. Romans were easily the worst faction because once they ran out of stone they were essentially fucked. Japs were the best because the majority of their economy was renewable and their sprites looked waay nicer.

I liked Egyptians but they were a bit difficult to make work because of the reliance on gems. I'll admit I never played Amazons so I can't talk on that subject. But Settlers 3 was very comfy, though it plays nothing like Settlers 2.

You only preferd those versions because they took out all the planning and strategy.


8c2c84  No.15733657

>>15733593

The main thing they took out is route system but I liked these two due to combat.

Also it is good thing they took that out. It doesn't work well with growing your economy. You still need to organize your economy in specific spaces next to each other and create buffers with magazines. The strategy is still there, you just don't need to connect building using roads and punishment for fucking up is less severe.

The only problem is that you will need to optimize only when your economy is really large and you will only get to such large economies vs other players and on larger maps.

>Also it is good thing they took that out. It doesn't work well with growing your economy.

To me the biggest challenge was placing the buildings and road infrastructure in such a way that it doesnt grind to a halt as your economy grows.

It is doable if you approach the game with severe unrestrained autism.

what are you talking about?

settlers 1 does have 640x480. when you run it it has 320x240 in menu and game but you just open options and click on SVGA. but stupid game doesn't save this and you need to click that every time you start the damn game

why in late game I have zero 5lvl knights buy my opponents have 10-20? I used "train knights" button about 50 times during game. but i have zero 5lvl knight and few 4lvl

I destroyed my opponents economy, they have no gold mines, foundry, no food etc, but they keep producing strong knights and I cannot finish them. the game shows that I have 60% fight power my opponents have 20% each. but its not possible to kill them

can someone explain why niggers never use resources from castle

when I am out of coal mine the nigger game stops producing everything that needs coal, even though I have 100 coals in castle. it never takes it from castle. what the fuck is going on

>>15735686
