Hello fellow Debian users, Ubuntu lovers and Mint freaks!

Here you’ll find scripts allowing you to build a .deb package from your Windows installer for The Settlers II. You can install it through DPKG and remove it through any APT front-end (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.).

Download links and usage instructions can be found on the following page:
The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici

I hope you’ll enjoy the comfort provided by these scripts as much as I enjoy writing and tweaking them ;)
