Dear Settlers,
To celebrate St. George's Day we have some gifts to honour his memory.
Gold from the dragon's den, swords to help against your enemies, red roses to wear in your lapel and fruit for the celebratory banquet.

Please check your in-game mailbox and enjoy!
Happy Settling!

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,
A long time ago Kaventsmann provided Settlers worldwide with the first version of his combat simulator. Five years later, version 2.0 is available in 18 languages, providing many features and covering almost all adventures. Impressive!
Have a look at the simulator here.
A big Thank You for his continued effort!

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 (01:01 BST) to Friday, April 16th (00:59 BST)
Explorers finding Granite on their Treasure searches will deliver double the amount. The 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!
