And minus points for their copy protection scheme sometimes stopping originals from working. I buyed Settler III and it didn't work correctly (trees wouldn't grow back), so I phoned their support and they told me that that was the copy protection scheme in action. Great work ... thanks. At least they fixed it in an update.
