Internet as well as support for modern hardware.

You will need an original copy of "The Settlers 2 Gold Edition" to play
Return To The Roots.

Return to the Roots
===================
Return to the Roots requires the original game files from The Settlers 2
Gold Edition to work properly.  These can come from an original CD or
from GOG.com.

If using the GOG.com version, you must extract the files from
the distributed .exe file using the innoextract package.
Copy the extracted files to the ${TRUEPREFIX}/share/s25rttr/S2/
directory.

The easiest way to do this is to execute the following:
$ doas cp -R * ${TRUEPREFIX}/share/s25rttr/S2

You can then delete everything extracted from the exe, such as the tmp
directory.

While returntotheroots is open source, The Settlers 2: Gold Edition is
not. You will need to purchase the game in order to use this package.
