Having only ever played this type of strategy in casual games I could use some advice. I've just bought Settlers 2 to 6 and don't know if to start logically with 2 or should a newbie start with a later Settlers game that may be easier or have a better tutorial etc etc. I'd appreciate your thoughts, thanks.

The Settlers II is very much a different experience from the later games. The transportation system changed a lot in The Settlers III where you could not longer make any roads yourself. Instead those were created automatically by usage, all you could do is put the buildings in their place. Military control changed as well, in the Settlers II you only could watch them go.
Anyway, The Settlers II has a very good tutorial for it's time, the first mission is very close to a step-by-step tutorial. You place buildings, connect the roads, put the crossroad flags in place and off you go :)
Thanks for that advice. I'll start with 2 and then be prepared for changes from 3 onwards.
