The Settlers: Rise Of An Empire Beta

[DJTricky]

Here's a cool new game coming out, and a beta! Check out the gameplay videos on youtube and go to GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/test/thesettlers/download.php) to get the Beta download and Beta key. Good Luck with the download, i suggest using the Download Manager on this one.

[krunsh]

I'm trying to download it, but the gamespot download manager is telling me: estimate time to download start : 7:27:12

should I download it at 7 kb/s or it will be faster with the download manager?

I was waiting for this game, is it fun?

I was waiting for this game, is it fun?

I got beta key right now, so hows the game?

[DJTricky]

Sorry, i was out all night, ya it's a cool game, and krunsh, mine said 5 hours until download start, and the whole thing took no more than two and a half, so stick with the manager. It's kind of like Warcraft, but about the settlers and their small city armies and not huge warfaring armys.

[krunsh]

I got it, I downloaded it with a torrent, no wait, and 500k.

I love the game, it's a lot better than the last one.

It's pretty cool how you start with a small village and end up with a huge city that look great.

And for those who try it, don't search any bee hive on the map, you can create them with the honey maker (I got stuck at this level for a long time).

[krunsh]

someone can play online ? don't work for me

[Kjeldoran]

link for the torrent plz ?

[Conde]

Wow! Downloading now saw the trailer in the web and looked awesome!

[Asura]

torrent link please :D
takes ages to donwload

[DJTricky]

use gamespot download manager it will take about 2 and a half hours no matter what the manager says

[Conde]

i downloaded it at 200-300 kbs with flashget, recommended.



Anyone can join multiplayer? I can't, but anyway, anyone up for a LAN party?, using hamachi.

My xfire is CondeMafias ^^

[Asura]

My connection can donwload it fastes 200k so takes time.
and manager thingy didint work for me so well.

[Conde]

Are they going to set up the settlers server so we can play online or....?, I can't even play versus the computer!


Edit: and there's only the tutorial, Anyway you can play alone on lan, and it's awesome

[dontleave]

Pfft... Warcraft couldn't handle.. thats why the numbers sucked. Real settlers wouldn't have armies... because they're SETTLERS. Anyway... the game doesnt look like my kind of RTS... Im willing to try it though, are here still keys or was it limited?

[DJTricky]

You can try it, it's pretty fun, but I also don't think it's my kind of RTS, too much building, less killing things.

[krunsh]

I found the torrent on the gamespot forum in a topic about long load time, I dont have the link anymore, but if you want the torrent, I got it so mail (or msn) me, docteur_krunsh@hotmail.com

Now I can play online, (i turned hamachi connection off in the network connection configuration and then it worked).

do you know if hamachi work with this game on lan?

If someone want to play, then tell me, I will if I can

[Conde]

No, it doesn't, But i were able to play online with my friends anyway.

I guess this is out of beta now, as the demo just showed up on Fileplanet.
