Hi all,

we will restart all GWs shortly to remove an issue that locked many zones recently. After the restart the issue the already locked zones should be unlocked.

Dear Settlers,

Woodcutters are asleep all throughout the island, Recycling Manufactories are working overtime and your Settlers are spending the day outside planting trees.

Take the time to enjoy nature on this wonderful spring day!

Happy Recycling!

Dear Settlers,

It's time for football! Every two years your island's Settlers get the opportunity to compete in a big football tournament.

The first version of this year's Summer event is planned to be deployed on the international test server in the upcoming days. Read more about it in the Sneak Peek posted on our forums and learn more about this new building:

Happy Settling,

Time frame: 08:00 - 11:00 EDT // 05:00 - 08:00 PDT

Dear Settlers!

Occasionally, Treasure searches ending shortly before the start of Easter's Removal Phase I did not return eggs. This is subject to change before the Christmas Event. Meanwhile, we'd like to make up for the inconvenience with an Explorer Week!

Treasure Boost: Granite
Saturday, April 9th (00:01 GMT) to Friday, April 15th (23:59 GMT)

Explorers who find Granite on their Treasure searches will deliver double the usual amount. This bonus applies if you login to receive your Explorers whilst the Event is active.

Coming Soon

A new Dev Blog is planned between April 11th and 22nd

• Details about blocking grid changes
• Blocking before and after recent map changes
• Treasure searches with event resources:
  Game mechanics,  challenges, planned improvements

Have a great weekend and happy settling!

Dear Settlers,

a long time ago Kaventsmann provided Settlers worldwide the first version of his combat simulator. Five years later, it's version 2.0 is available in 18 languages, provides many features and covers almost all adventures. Impressive!

Have a look at the simulator here <

Thanks once more for his restless effort!
