Mostly yelling "don't bring those stones THERE! Bring them to the guard house build-off at the border! Red has already started!" :P At times it can be frustrating, but also very captivating. Just watching one shield's path to the castle.
They were not ssd neither nerdy. Everyone is doing it now and they are called pro gamers also. You my friend was part of the initial revolution that led to all that is happening today.
Yeah man I do not regret one single bit of time spent in front of my c64 and amiga, incredible irreplaceable experience. Im sure people who dont know better will call it sad, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
With this amazing piece of music, I never would have fell in love with video game music, I have dedicated my life to making video games because of it. Thank you Markus Kludzuweit.
ARGHL! I have this song in mind since i played this damn game! Sometimes i whistle this song when i am alone.. This song is not leaving my mind since i die... GREAT song!
Always hummed this song to get my kids asleep. It was an amazing game and destroyed everything else in its day imo. I remember trying forever to complete the last level. I think it was number 30 or something. Finally did it, it was like conquering the world. Amazing what they achieved with 2mb of ram. The game was quite complicated. I remember playing 2 player split screen with my friends. epic. Many thanks to the uploader - much appreciated. Brought a tear to my eye :)
Settlers 2 is pretty much as playable as it was back then. S1 is still OK. With the recent return to low-poly, pixelated art and simple mobile games, S2 doesn't stand much in terms of quality. There aren't many 20+ years old games that did not age at all ;]
How old are your kids today? Did you ever show them the original song? I bet they love the melody very much even though they don't remember it explicitly
I think this is my all time favorite game I've ever played. I played in on first Amiga 500 when it came out, then when I got the A1200 I believe there were more voices to the soundtrack? Dunno about that one tho, but I believe there was something different between the 500 and 1200 in the soundtrack. But anyhow.. This is so nostalgia and has always been my #1 soundtrack from old school gaming. From having my friend showing me the demo he got in a magazine, which I copied, and played over, and over, and over and over again (you couldn't save, and only one map) to when I actually saved up my weekly allowance to actually get to BUY THE WHOLE GAME. The box it came in, the manual, everything, something different than buying a game on Steam today.. Man, those were times. At the age of almost 40 (ouch, I've suddenly become old) I've finally bought a cheap keyboard and I'm trying to learn how to play piano, and a simplified version of this is one of my goals to be able to play, which it has been for at least 20 years. This music was only four tracks!
From all the versions of this song, this is the best one. So much dynamics in the sounds and all the timings are perfect. It feels like every other version gets something wrong. Especially the modern MiDi renditions.
This is pretty much the norm for every Amiga release that was also released on another platform. Even games like Monkey Island, Wing Commander, ... that were released on Amiga AFTER the pc version, have massively better music on Amiga, as if it was always "the way it's meant to be".
Epic game, astonishing music and intro. I remember ordering this and it took about 3 weeks to arrive. I can remember leaving the game on overnight and waking up to see my kingdom had expanded by the morning. It came with a fold out manual listing all the upgrades. Great times.
I love the fact that you added a few seconds of the beginning at the end of the song, to give the impression that it's on loop and thus invoking my childhood nostalgia even harder. I've listened to the other (so called best) version a few times and have always felt a slight irritation at the end that it's not starting up again. I don't necessarily want to hear the whole song again, I just need to feel that, somewhere, it keeps going, and will always keep going.
I have an mp3 with this. I made it from a recording I made with my A500 and a casette player a long time ago. And sometimes I just have to listen to it.
I can still see the building goes up within my mind, when they are exhausted and you have to demolish and make less effective mines. Or at you leave the game on over night with the music going on. My main objective always was to make a self sufficient "community" that was exsluded from the main Castle! Omg what a game
Thank you very much! It's a real pleasure to hear this fabulous soundtrack again! One of the very few that doesn't get on your nerves even after hours of playing. And I have played this game for countless hours…
I personally think that Haiko Ruttmann did a pretty good job. The sound quality highly depends on the used MIDI hardware though. It doesn't sound bad on a decent Roland device.
Awesome tune, great memories. But it's a shame most people probably didn't get to listen to it because you needed at least 1MB of ChipRAM to enable the music in-game.

It is such a nice soothing song. I find it useful to listen to when I need to concentrate on something. Too bad they never got a comparable version of the song onto later versions. Settlers II on the PC had a rough version of it but it sounded silly.
In fact, since the game is made from a company from Düsseldorf, Germany, which is where the main man of Falkenbach lives. Who knows, maybe he composed the music for the game, or was actually a part of the creation team? :p
Yess this was my game in the golden days, cant wait to blow the dust from my old pc and play that shit again for days. this track was da bomb. settlers was a religies back in these days
This is my childhood, loved this music, best version, have the rom on my retro oi but I'm gutted the music doesn't work, other audio does but the musics kerplunked :(
I still sing that song to get my 9 month baby asleep!’!! Hahaha and my older daughter (12 years old) call it the “sleeping song” they even don’t know where it came from! Hahaha
Did you all know this game can now be played in far more better resolutions than before? It's called "Return to the Roots"....This is an advanced Settlers 2, suitable to play on even the fastest computers. You can check it out on www.siedler25.org
Can someone tell me why this Amiga version is in A minor while the DOS version is in C minor? Like compare it to a recording of the DOS one, it's transposed exactly two steps up.
