Settlers V.. Did you ever play it? They had nearly completely abanonded
the original settlers style completely by that point. It's a complete 
Warcraft
or Age of Empires type game by Settlers V.   It really is much much 
different
than the original Settlers games.  Alot of fans were very unhappy about 
that.
It's much more a generic RTS clone.
