Your Settlers wish to build a memorial to the person who founded their colony! Unfortunately, they have no idea what he or she looked like, so they have asked you for guidance. Hurry! They wish to present your creation during the town's holiday gathering, so time is of the essence.

Help them out by drawing a picture of your Settler's founder for the chance to win up to 1,000 gems!

Who's afraid of the wicked Witch of the Swamp?

Screenshot of the week winner, Polar7Bear, isn't, but the generals might not be up to the task. "The General in Chief had fallen before the dark magic of the Wicked Witch. Dead soldiers and bowmen sunk into the swampy mire. Hope itself, had fled in terror. The desperate Lt. General rallied what was left of his cavalry brigade. One final time they charged. 'For Death and Glory!'"

Will anyone be able to defeat the witch?

Dear Settlers,

The design team asks for your input about combat systems. The idea is to get a deeper look into the current status of the system and your preferences, which might result in additions to the combat system in the future.

The survey will take approx. 3-5 minutes to complete:
> Take the survey now! <
 

The survey will be active until November 24th.

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Dear Settlers,

The newest entry of our Dev's Diary delivers first insights into the Christmas event 2013. Read about the new event calendar, a new building and new adventures.

A first technical version will be deployed on tsotesting.com this afternoon. The new mail system and the epic woodyard won't be part of today's version. These features will be modified, you can test them later again.

Important: Today's pre-version of the Christmas event is not final - all numbers, values and quantity are place holders.

Happy testing!
