Dear Settlers,

Join us on a mystical journey we discover Fuerst_Vlad's "Floating Islands"; an array of castles, rare buildings and levitating isles surrounded by rolling clouds!

We're proud to have such talented and visionary settler in our community. But don't just take our word for it: take a look at the full map in our forums!

Enjoy!

Dear Settlers,

The upcoming version brings along various game improvements and localization fixes. The in-game guild market voting system will also be technically implemented, but its activation will take place later, after further internal tests.

The new game version will be made available on 21.11.2017! Read all about it in the latest Change Log published in our forums.

Happy settling!

Dear Settlers,

Last month we invited 12 Community members to our office in Düsseldorf. Game insights, funny stories and impressions were exchanged; we also revealed exclusive new content that's in development which you don't want to miss!

Discover what the "Journey to the North" is all about, how our community representatives felt about it and check out plenty of photos that we took that day!

Enjoy!

Dear settlers,

Today is a special day, but you're not exactly sure why! You've lost your diary too - so you're going to have to dig deep through the mounting mess of papers on your desk to figure out what's to be celebrated. There has to be an answer in there somewhere!

Surrounded by potential clues, you're going to have to piece this together piece-by-piece! Can you solve this confounding conundrum? Solve the crossword > here <

Happy solving!

Dear settlers,

German player Tigergo84 had to battle a great mythic dragon to send us our ninth winning postcard! The mighty dragon Justus from the Syrau Cave didn't want to give up their spoils easily but after some expert training, our Settler prevailed.

As Tigergo84 knows: if you want to go wandering into caves, you better be prepared for whatever's inside! Read the full battle-report in our forums!
