Dear
Settlers,
A
small Xmas update to tell you about the new additions
to our website.
We
have added more tech pages. We've changed the
look of our editor tips page...as we are adding
more and more pages every day.
There
are now 11 editor pages, instead of the original
4, so hopefully this will help you with your editor
questions.
We
are also currently working on getting complete
walkthroughs for all of the missions on the Original,
the Mission and the Trojan CD's. DoD is working
on a new S5N site and he has kindly agreed to
let us use the walkthroughs that he had on S4N.
He and Slo are feverishly replaying these missions,
then re-writing the walkthroughs, and adding screenies,
so they will be compatatible with the latest patch.
So be sure to check back often, as they are coming
along quickly. Some of them are already finished
so for the moment if you need help with any of
the walkthroughs, either post in one of the forums(links
on the left) or email us....and we'll do our best
to get it up or at least give you the link to
that particular page.
The
news page will now also include a translation
by either Mona, or Banquoq, in German, for our
German friends..
So,
on behalf of all The Settlers Gang, we would like
to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year.
Happy
Settling!

We
would also like to welcome you to our news section
of the Settlers Gang website. This section will
be updated on a regular basis, so please return
often.
In
this edition, let us explain a little bit of what
our website is about..
Along with our profiles, we have a very informative
section on game play and editor tips, a section
on technical issues and a page detailing our gang
maps. Feel free to contact us at the Siedler Portal,
Map Channel forums or Ubisoft if you have any
questions or comments.
We
are currently working on a further project, that
will give tips and tricks dealing with each tribe
individually...and eventually we will have English
walkthroughs for all of our maps...
The
Settlers Gang have also become official SP
Contest mappers, so keep watch for our newly
released maps for this contest. Please check here
for the details of forthcoming maps...
Also
for the last 6 months, 4 members of the Settlers
Gang were very actively involved in the newly
released Lost in Space project. These are mission
maps that were made by a group of Settlers for
Settlers and it is free... The first winner of
this new series... Xhriztjan, wrote a wonderful
article about his experience playing LIS which
can be found here.
And
lastly.... we would like to give a huge welcome
to Megg and Damian who joined the gang very recently.
Between them, they have a vast amount of experience
at playing settlers both in SP and MP capacity.
You may well know them already from the Lobby,
Elly's and the UBI forums where they have helped
and advised countless people with their gaming
problems.
So
with this, please feel free to browse our website
and check back often as there will be new updates
regularly..
Enjoy!
