With about a month left until The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom makes it to PC and Mac, Ubisoft is ready to talk more about the strategy title. Namely, a Gold Edition is happening.

If you opt to upgrade to this premier digital version of the game by throwing in an extra $10, you get: an exclusive map, extra castle forge elements, the soundtrack, and mothereffing Chestmaster9000. It's not quite over 9000, but damn does it come close.

Additionally, we are given a look at The Settlers 7's victory points. Even after this in-depth look at the system, I'm still not sure what's going on. Bruce Shelley's ridiculous-looking microphone was way too distracting. So distracting, in fact, that I almost forgot about the whole Ubisoft DRM thing.

I'd like to buy this, but can't due to the DRM. Oh well.

I'd consider looking at this game, but wait....DRM. Guess I don't care then.

I feel sorry for that Bruce Shelley dude in the video. He's worked hard to get that victory point system in there and it sounds good too, but it's all eclipsed by the BLOODY DRM!

Hmm, if it's cheap enough or if I suddenly find myself with money then I might do.

I'm sure the DRM will get cracked, and then I'll be pretty intrigued... but I'm seriously never purchasing a PC Ubisoft game with that retarded DRM implementation.

My internet connection is by no means stable. A crying shame because I was really excited about playing my first Settlers game.
