Hey all!
I am wondering if anyone has ever managed to get Settlers 2 running through DosBox at a higher resolution than 1024 x 768?

Not me seems 1024x768 is the highest it goes. You could buy an try settlers 2 10th anniversary that has higher resolutions
Yeah I downloaded the 10th Anniversary edition, but it just didn't have the same feel as the old version. It seemed like it was a bit more of a kids version. I especially liked setting fire to things...
haha i'm with you there mate! I loved the feel of the original too but 1024x768 is the hihest i can choose in it sorry 🙁
You should try this... um... mod / patch / open-source addin: http://www.moddb.com/mods/return-to-the-roots/downloads
Or here it seems to be the latest version: http://www.siedler25.org/
This thing really works fine - you can set any resolution you want.
Btw, I've spent 100 hours on original Settlers 2 in 2000, then I've found out about the Gold-edition, and I've spent 100 hours more for the gold-missions, then the Anniversary edition came out - I've spent... well, a lot before I completed all missions, then I've read about the Vikings addon... Yep, weeks and weeks of playing. Now I got a "rise of the culture" (released only in Germany and Russia)... I've spent hours on level 1, will play through some years later 😀
Btw, if you can't run Settlers: Rise of the Culture because of incompatible PhysX driver, you can just install the older one as well - the game will work.
All these games I've mentioned have the same vibe with building roads flag-to-flag.
