I have been looking for a game based on settling in North America. Building your house, clearing, farming and worrying about indians attacking.  I dont want an RTS, never got into them.

Is there such a game like this?  It would be nice if it was online, but just the theme would be great.

Thanks all

Salem

It's still in closed beta, but open beta is right around the corner so I hear.

Be warned, this game is HIGHLY addictive.

:D

I have played Xyson almost from the beginning and it is a mess.  One of the most tedious games I have ever played. I know the Devs have worked hard on it and I played for a good month or so, but I just couldnt get into it.  Maybe when they have it polished a little more I will check it out, but for now...nope.

Filled with gankers and the interface has got to be one of the worst I have seen.

Never heard of Salem.  Will check it out.  Isnt that the game that has perma death?

EDIT: Just looked up Salem.  It has perma death.  Since I am playing DAYZ, I could get into it.  I used to be affraid of perma-death games, but DAYZ got me hooked.

Salem is a browser game, strongly suggest ignoring that title.

You want a settlement type mmo? settlers and native americans. Keep an eye on the game below:

That would be wrong, Salem is a Java game, like Haven & Hearth from the same developers.

If I was misinformed I apologize.

Many site descriptions label the game as a browser

Salem is a game that definitely "launches"  I never played it in a browser

although this game is so 1995 its awful, couldnt get into it for more then about 15 mins

An old DOS game, Colonization (wikipedia entry), comes to mind.

"Sid Meier's Colonization is a computer game by Brian Reynolds and Sid Meier released by MicroProse in 1994. It is a turn-based strategy game themed on the early European colonization of the New World, starting in 1492 and lasting until 1850."

There is also a 2008 Civ IV: Colonization version:
"Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is a remake (a total conversion using Civilization IV engine) of the 1994 turn-based strategy game Sid Meier's Colonization.[1] Players control settlers from one of four European nations, Spain, England, France, or the Netherlands, that are trying to conquer/colonize the New World in the time period between 1492–1792. The final goal of each player is to build up their colonies and a standing army, then declare independence from their mother country and defeat the military force that the King sends to crush the rebellion"

Are these too old? Have you tried them out? I must admit that though I have the original DOS disc, I have never played it :)
