different playable peoples: 3 peoples (Bajuwaren, Scots, Egyptian) with individual playing characteristics.
comprehensive "devotement system": with devoting goods the player gets e. g. economic
(settlers work faster) or military advantages.
new landscapes (deserts, snowy mountains, scots highlands)
better military system (e. g. close combat and long-distance fighters), but still not directly
controllable )
revised user interface and improvements in economic cycles
Improved UI and details
Internet Lobby with Avatars, mini games and multi player match making.

Nice, didn't know that another one was in the making (And I live in Germany... Smile )
Downloading German version now, hoping for an English release

I bought the last two Settlers II games (ok, that sounds weird... annoying that they are called the same, but then they couldn't call it Settlers III, nor could they call it Settlers VII as then Settlers II fans would ignore it), but I didn't like the Viking Add-on pack at all

So far it's ok, but there are a few things I don't quite understand and a few things I hate about it:

What I don't understand: Why is it that it installs PhysX drivers during install? What use does this game have with these drivers?

Things I don't like: The usual very boring and very annoyingly stupid story: First mission you have to race to a temple to light the Olympic flame (using gold and weapons to ignite it). Why? Because the Gods are angry at the human race for some reason. I wonder what the writers of the story was smoking!
Why couldn't they just have the story from Veni Vidi Vici? At least that story was a bit more realistic

You scared me with the first part, long-distance fighters could easily mean directly controlled. Thank God that's not in. I have only played one game, without any fighting at all, so I can't comment on if fighting is better or worse.
But what use has gold in this game? Gold doesn't go to the guard towers, etc, like in The Settlers II. Will it be like other Settlers games where your fighters just increases their fighting skills, the more gold you have inside your borders?

The User interface is a bit better than last Settlers II game, but not much. The messages system is still as bad as it has always been Sad

Improvements in economic cycles? Not sure about that one. Different yet, but so far it's neither better nor worse

You can build barracks to upgrade your soldiers which needs gold for the best ones. How that works exactly I haven't figured out yet.

Unfortunately this game has no LAN or TCP/IP multiplayer. It only support multiplayer over their lobby and you need a valid key to create an account.

What a pity, was hoping to play this with some friends but definitely won't buy it after all the disappointing settlers games lately.

there is a donation to the gods you have to use, that enlarges your territory by 5 fields for 10 minutes, enough time to build a guardhouse on the other side.

simply select the altar, click the icon and wait until your settlers delivered the good required to the altar (there is a progress bar under the icon on the top right on the screen) when its complet, right-click the icon (or left ?) anyway, there are 4 options afaik, start, cancel etc. Well, start
