S3UC Proves Violence is in the Eye of the Beholder
The Settlers III Ultimate Collection has been reviewed by the Russell Group on Games. Here's an excerpt from the highly favorable appraisal:
"The combat model is appropriately tailored to the target audience. This is a game that the whole family can enjoy. What little fighting that does occur is not particularly gruesome
(i.e. there are no blood splatters or severed limbs left lying on the ground). In fact, when one of your soldiers is eliminated, you see his spirit ascend to the heavens as an
indication of his demise. It's a cute effect and in keeping with the overall warmth of the design. (Hardcore gamers be forewarned; the cartoon-ish graphics may put you off at first
look but give the game a chance.)"

Something new for the SETTLERS
III World Ranking Lists:
THE SETTLERS III HALL OF FAME!
To make the SETTLERS III World Ranking Lists more exciting, we have
tinkered with the rules. Players that are resting on their laurels and inactive in defending
their positions will now gradually lose points. After a week of inactivity, every further
day without play will mean a loss of 15 points for single players. For clans the loss will
start after two weeks of inactivity.
For the best of the best we now have the SETTLERS HALL OF FAME. All players and clans that
now achieve a place in the top ten of the World Ranking Lists will be inducted into the
SETTLERS HALL OF FAME! The starting page will now also show the best three players and best
three clans.
