    I dont see any reason to compare TSO with old Settlers - only the settlers walking around and that game is based on getting production chain working is the same.
    And it has been like that since game started.

And I'd love to hear if you really have anything constructive to say about how the game could be improved.

    And no, I probably will not play "the Settlers of old ........" just to try to figure out what you might be missing here
    Here's the thing .... I *have* suggested how the game can be improved with real gameplay that makes it more like "The Settlers", but then a handful of people complained that they paid real money for this game and it wouldn't be fair to have real gameplay ....
    This game is not like "The Settlers" and should not have "The Settlers" in the name ....
    I carried on for a long time in the hope that real gameplay would be introduced, but no, it ain't happening ....
    It's now little more than a grind .... repeat the same tasks with the same outcomes .... maybe ideal for people with OCD or ADHD or something, people who like repetition, who like to be in control and like to know the outcomes before they start .... but it's not a real game ...

    Add to that .... in The Settlers, you made stuff (like bread and weapons) in order to make the troops to conquer a territory .... with TSO, you make the stuff to give it away ....
    in The Settlers, you launched attacks on bandit camps on islands that were covered in clouds .... you didn't know where the next bandit camp was or what troops it would have or what troops you would need to defeat it .... with TSO, when you go to an adventure, everything is known in advance .... and you know the outcome .... just follow the step-by-step instructions ....
    in The Settlers, after a bit of time, bandits could attack you, making the game more difficult and unknown .... in TSO, this never happens .... you always know the outcome ....

    The game designers of TSO have forgotten what "gameplay" is .....

    My final thoughts on the Weekly Quests is this: They just not fun, they aren't challanging they aren't difficult they are just a chore and 90% is just waiting for the Provision House or Barracks to complete. I'll say it again, they are not fun. And so i have stopped doing them.

    Also the rewards are just terrible imho.

    Luck based loot some some players will progress much faster than others, people are still doing the exact same few adventures due to loot, xp, losses being unbalanced.
