07.06.2018Sneak Peek: Co-op adventure rewards
Dear settlers,
Two very exciting changes are available in today's test server deployment!

- Co-op Adventure loot
We've changed the loots of all Coop-adventures.
The new loots focus on higher value rewards
and a higher chance of rare buildings and items.
- Camp health bar revised
The old health bar is back - the camp's hitpoints are now displayed next to the units with an individual icon.
You can find more details on both topics in the forum:

14.05.2018The Pirates Arrr Back!
Dear settlers,
The pirates have taken over the test server yet again, and it's up to you to defeat them in adventures that feature the scallywags! Doing so will bag yourself 100% more resources and refillers in the rewards!

But that's not all; we listened carefully to your feedback and we implemented a sought-after XP multiplier!
Arrrr!
