Palettes of The Settlers II

by Vesa Piittinen

The palette images here include the color gradients for each color which were used to provide texture shading, thus contributing to the unique look of the game. The game has three different environments, or texture sets, and thus has three different palettes.

Greenland palette

Gold Edition / Mission CD palette (version 1.51):

The Settlers 2 Gold Edition Greenland palette

Original release of the game (v1.0) had bugs in the color gradients: palette had been updated with new colors, but gradient table had not been updated.

Beta release (v0.16) had a slightly different palette:

The Settlers 2 Beta Greenland palette


Wasteland palette

Gold Edition / Mission CD palette (version 1.51):

This is a very low hanging fruit look into the game. I also maintain The Settlers II.net where you can find much more about this game!
