10.09.2016First Aid Day
Dear Generals,
Your keen-eyed scouts have uncovered a hidden stash of medical supplies on your home island! It appears to have been left there by the charitable Settler’s Cross initiative, who'd like to help you in eradicating the bandit infestation.

Active Settlers will receive a free Medipack to send to your frontlines where it’s needed most; or to the market if you’re the peaceful sort. You can also take part in a special treasure hunt over in the forums.
Happy bandaging,
BB_Saqui

Dear Settlers!
gamescom 2016 is starting next week. We invite all Settlers to visit us in the Ubisoft lounge! You can find it in the same spot as last year's booth in hall 6.1 (corridor C).

The Ubisoft Lounge is located close to Ubisoft's main stage. We are looking forward to meeting you: Our Community Team and Game Designers are ready for some rounds of Q&A and will present the latest "Excelsior" feature in detail.

You can find the schedule and more details in our forum.
Have fun @gamescom!

11.08.2016Excelsior Feedback
Dear explorers,
The Excelsior flew to the test server about 2 weeks ago. Commander Graham already led an uncountable amount of settlers to the new challenges, adventures and rewards. Did you already try the new content yourself?

In the meantime, our developers continually work on improvements.
We are looking forward to your feedback in the > forums < about this exciting feature!
Enjoy exploring the new content!
