Hello! Long-time and knowledgeable settlers II player here. As you know, the original game (1997) has a 10-mission campaign with levels both easy and relatively hard. However, there are also 2 custom campaigns, well known to experienced settlers players - "FANpaign" and "2ndpaign". I believe they were both created in the late 1990s, and they are classics in a way now, and obviously a must-have and must play for anyone who considers themselves fans of the game. Oh, and missions can be ridiculously tough at times and are a gift for those seeking new challenge in this game.
So my request is, add them to downloads! Along with instruction on installation. A slight problem is, when they are installed they will overwrite the existing campaign, so that should be addressed in the instructions ("save this or that folder!"). Also, the makers of the campaign were german so the installer is kind of german as well, not much to do about it I guess. But the process of installation itself is pretty straightforward, first files are unpacked to a chosen folder and then you run executable and choose where your settlers 2 folder is. Then you're all set!

Edit: the installer is german but all the content (missions descriptions etc) is in english.
