Dear Settlers,

due to the success of your testing support, the new Science System feature (part 1) will go live soon, including the skill tree for your Geologists. Take your chance to get
a new special item that boosts your Science System start:

• Name: Bookbinding Glue
• Effect: Increases the production speed of the Bookbinder to 200% for 24 hours
• Usage: You can use it on your home zone, it is tradable

These special buffs are rare.
This is the only chance to get them so far.

How to get the items? - Be active on LIVE game worlds!

• Play the game with your regular account between Monday, 27th of May and Monday, 10th of June.
• On 14th of June an ingame message will be sent that contains
  3x bookbinder glue to all players who met the conditions.

Happy Settling!

Dear Settlers.

Update: Test 1 was a success (>  4,000 active users at the same time)
Update: Test 2 was a success (>  5,000 active users at the same time)

We ask you to join our load tests that will take place tomorrow. The goal is quite simple: Play as much as you can. If the login queue is crowded, it’s even better, because this means that there is high activity.

Short summary of load tests:
• Test 1: Friday, 24th of May, 11:00 – 13:00 CEST
• Test 2: Friday, 24th of May, 16:00 – 18:00 CEST
• Goal: High load (approx. 3 000+ active players)

So far the Science System looks good, but we would like to check it under high load when lots of players are online. Feel free to help us to test the newest version of the game which features the Science System. Please remember that you are welcome to share your feedback and opinion in the forum.

Hello settlers,

in order to fix the "move buildings issue" we need to perform an extra maintenance. This will take place at approx. 13:00h (CEST) today. After the maintenance, players who did not receive the loot from yesterday should have it in their mailbox. There will be no account reset!

*UPDATE* We are back online

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
 BB_SlasH

Dear Settlers,

currently moving buildings on the test server may result in blocking the whole island. We already know about this issue and we started to work on a fix.

In order to avoid possible zone lock, please do not move buildings on your home island until further notice.

Happy settling,

FIXES
• Military unit and unemployed settler count was wrong when
  producing troops
• Trade request did not work with buffs and buildings

• Locked zone when sending a named general to an
  adventure
