Dear Settlers,

Ship Ahoy! The story of Captain Mapparan continues.

His ship, "The Pathfinder", will be yours if you reach level 70 and complete "The Good Captain Part 10".  It provides weekly tasks and the chance for considerable plunder.

Dear Settlers,

BB_Alex (Game Design Team) provides the next Dev Blog: As announced a few weeks back, it explains the Treasure Search during events in more detail.

It also answers the question why sometimes, even though an event has not ended and Explorers returned in time, no event resources are included in the loot.

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.

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:

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!
