One of the most frustrating games I've bought on Steam. The campaign is fundamentally broken for me. I complete Mission 2, and instead of progressing, the game throws me back to Mission 1 as if I accomplished nothing. I spent more time troubleshooting this mess than actually playing the game - checking saves, editing profile files, changing permissions, restarting, and trying workaround after workaround. Nothing...
I'm a big fan of The Settlers, including the 7th edition. Sadly the multiplayer scene is completely dead, but the campaign is very fun.
