There used to be an online java version hosted by some university kid in the States, but it's gone now. I used to serve people a healthy dose of WTFBBQLOSE when I played, but it's been a while now. All longest roads lead to victory. I love Settlers. There used to be an online java version hosted by some university kid in the States, but it’s gone now.

I haven't gotten the XBLA version other than trying out the demo for a few minutes last week, but I suppose it has the drawback that you can't smack somebody when they make a joke about having wood for sheep.
