Settle Down: Free Settlers 7 Add-On

It's such a shame that Settlers 7 was overshadowed by the DRM issues around it. It's a wonderful piece of work, as pretty on the outside as the inside.

Brilliant. As of this week it's just hit version 1.11, with the new patch adding not just a new map but a whole new "Occult Science" branch for the tech tree. Did you play it, readers?

These days, you can find him talking about tabletop board games over on Shut Up And Sit Down, or doing proper grown-up journalism with the folks at People Make Games.
