Robot Monkey Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I know there are some boardgame fans here and you might want to know that GameSpot reports that Settlers of Catan is coming to the Microsoft Zone on the PC for online play. The story has more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Thanks Jay, looking forward to it. :tu: If anybody's interested there are already a couple of sites that let you play Settlers online right at the moment too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 That's cool. I'd like to see this sort of thing eventually ported to XBL as well. Would be fun to play Settlers with the Mrs. versus some other folks online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Phew, dusted this baby off http://www.catanonline.com reports that the game is going to drop on December 20th. Anybody else going to pick this up? I'd love to head onto MSN for a few games (post-holidays for me as this is going to be a brutal time wiht all the company stuffed into my place ) and the tourneys. Screenshots here, very serviceable and non-cluttered, which I like. I LOVE the look of the trading interface. http://catanonline.com/news/downloadgamegallery.htm?c00=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I like the look of it too. Would love to throw up some TeamSpeak and play it sometime Oh, look at that, it's Dec. 20th right now! Woot =) Be checking it out in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 How does one play this version? Buy it in a store and then play it on MSN, or ??? I used to play on the MSN zone way back. I remember they had games you had to buy separately and some you could d/l online. Which is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is this? http://zone.msn.com/en/catanonline/default Looks like there's a free tutorial and free single-player trial. $30 a year for online play. Gonna check it out now... EDIT: It's not quite ready. None of the links to play the game work yet. I just made the obvious guess to find that URL. Guess we're not supposed to go there yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Works, though I got an exception error halfway through the demo game. Fantastic job on dressing up the board game though, very nice UI. The computer players are very slow in making trades though, but the trade interface is one of the best I've seen in computer versions of Catan. Nice little tune that plays during the game too. Very impressed. Whether I'll pay $30 to play it for a year remains to be seen, but I may be swayed by the promise of tournaments :tu:.
