you have to check -means you have to see if they are not checked on !
no tick in the 'Read only' box

I KNOW LOL....thanks but I checked to see that the was no checkmarks LOL

so that isn't the problem......
I'm still having a prob saving....
tried trhough windows (I have ME)
tried ms dos (I think ME has no real dos so...)
and then treid dosbox in which the game can save but there is no point in playing the game cause the game runs terribly...even after I adjusted settings like frameskip etc....

so what can I do to save?

Hi people! Somebody knows what I need to do to use a joystck for a two player game in Windows XP, with VDM Sound or DOSBox?

Thanks!

still can't save someone plz help me!!

I have two problems. First, I can't save. Second, Is there any simple way to move around in the terrain? I have to use the map even if I just want to move a few cm. Is there any simple scrolling method?

Are you unable to read? You will find the answers to your questions in the manual that is also available for download from this site.

Hint : hold down right mouse button.

There have been a lot of nostalgic posts about Settlers 1 in which people have commented on how much they used to enjoy playing it years ago.

I've been trying out the download from Abandonia and find much to enjoy about this game. It has considerable charm and rather more depth than I was expecting. However, what puzzles me is that none of your posts have spoken about just how broken this game is. Similarly the FAQ from GameFAQS (which was mentioned earlier) lists a few bugs but makes no mention of the real spoiler.

I'm refering to the transport system. When you start a scenario this works reasonably well. Goods are moved from the castle or from their place of production to where they are required in an effective and reasonably efficient manner. However, once the game reaches a certain size and the road network becomes more complex the transport system breaks down. Goods start to be taked to places they are not wanted - for example, I've seen great piles of fish accumulating outside knights huts, ten or more sacks of coal taken to and left outside gold mines. Heaps of assorted garbage (lumber, ore, stone, swords, shields, etc.) gradually accumulate at junctions of roads and outside inappropriate production facilities. Perhaps the most significant down side of this problem is that it becomes very difficult to get buildings constructed. Sometimes the required materials never even head in their direction and in other cases lunber and stone almost gets there but isn't actually taken onto the site - the transporter just turns around and goes back the way he came, still holding his materials. Sometimes they will take large quantities of other item and leave them just outside the site; none of them being of the slightest use to the builder.

Of course this starts to have a pretty serious effect on gameplay. In one game I was getting roundly trounced by one of the computer players because the game wouldn't build me swords and shields or on the few occasions when the armourer was supplied with steel the resulting goods were then transported to inappropriate places and left on scattered heaps where they were of no use to me whatsoever. In another game I reached the point where I couldn't get any more guard posts built and just had to watch in vain as the computer opponents encroached further and further into my territory.

So, does what I've recounted here tally with your experiences of the game? Or is Abandonia perhaps hosting an old, unpatched version?
