Sort by. A cleaner has just offered a nod of acknowledgement, continuing to scoop up coffee cups while the keyboard clatters incessantly to the sound of Primal Scream. Two cleaners are now circling the immediate area, truffling for debris and emptying bins in an automated, wordless ritual.
One of the cleaners is replacing a bin liner, smiling awkwardly at the shoeless, fevered man punching words into his keyboard. The only other sound is an indeterminate chirrup from an adjacent PC, occasional hammering, and what sounds like trees being felled. And still the settlers continue to chop. And build and plant and fish and conquer and worship and sail and trade and fight. And live, basically. Yes, it's that time again. Time to lose your mind overseeing the lives of small pretend people that mean nothing to no one, but for whom you are prepared to give up unhealthily large chunks of your time.
Because you've got problems, clearly. What's the crack, then? Essentially, it's more of the same, the basic mechanics of Settlers III remaining largely unaltered from the previous two efforts. Starting with a small group of followers, the idea is to build a small colony and expand your horizons until you stumble upon another race, at which point you proceed to kick the living shit out of them with whatever comes to hand, specifically weapons that you have built for that very purpose.
Alternatively you can try to sell them some goods. It's a bit like living in Liverpool. Except far soldiers soldier, unquestioningly sacrificing themselves at the click of a mouse button. A graphical facelift wouldn't really be enough to justify a sequel though, and thankfully there are some more fundamental changes. A lot of the prepublicity has harked on about this feature, but to some extent it is a red herring.
The logistics are essentially the same, regardless of which bunch you decide to play as, it's just that each race has slightly different needs and structures. For instance. Egyptians use more stone in their buildings, whereas Asians must build rice farms to make alcohol, required to keep military morale high. Each civilisation also has its own god, which it must placate with temples, priests and sacrifices. Pleasing the gods is an important strategic goal, because if you treat them well they will punish your enemies with plagues and so forth.
The combat system has also been updated, giving you more control over your troops and their positions. Soldiers can gain experience and promotions, and the game incorporates sea battles, with a variety of warships at your disposal.
Settlers III is a complex web of dependencies and production lines, and one misjudgement can lead to your city grinding to a halt. Whatever happens though, it's your fault, and if you try harder you can eventually unblock the bottleneck, even if it means destroying buildings in order to re-use their raw materials - the equivalent of getting a mortgage in Monopoly.
Of course, by the time you've worked out what's wrong, the enemy are swarming all over you like flies round shit, firing gigantic catapults at your settlement while you're still trying to work out which end of the spade to use. A fine balance is required between keeping your people fed, watered and armed. Invading the enemy's territory is also crucial, as capturing buildings enables you to steal resources from the surrounding area.
Although they're doing exactly the same to you, and the game is constantly ebbing and flowing, with numerous battles shaping the landscape. Chronic addiction is the order of the day, then, as the London traffic outside would appear to confirm.
This is Class A gaming, and not to be messed with by the inexperienced. But if you can handle the pace, it could feasibly see you through another British Winter.

If yes then you still could try to play with the quality and resolution settings of S3 - maybe some combination will work I installed the latest VMWare Player I tried several settings in S3 Settings such a different resolutions, but somehow the settings don't apply. You need to change the S3 settings as admin. Ah ok, I'll try that later today. Going to the store to buy a present for my dad for father's day. Ok so changing the settings had no effect. When I go into any game, singleplayer or multiplayer, the loading screen stays and I can't see the game.
Ok I found a setting that works but now I have another problem. The screen window is very small in my VMWare, instead of scaling to my Monitor size. Quote by SjanaWilgani. What worked was setting shadows to Dithered. As for the Fullscreen mode, I already run my VM in Fullscreen, but when I launch a fullscreen game it coveres only a tiny part of the screen and has big black borders.
As a result camera movement with right mouse button is uncontrollably fast, and I can't see the game too well.
