It's time for football! Once more, your island's Settlers get the opportunity to compete in a big football tournament.

The first version of this year's Summer event is planned to be deployed on the international test server in the coming days. Read more about it in the Sneak Peek posted on our forums and learn more about this new building:

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 (00:01 GMT) to Friday, April 15th (23:59 GMT)

Explorers who find Granite on their Treasure searches will deliver double the usual amount. This 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!

Dear Settlers,

a long time ago Kaventsmann provided Settlers worldwide the first version of his combat simulator. Five years later, it's version 2.0 is available in 18 languages, provides many features and covers almost all adventures. Impressive!

Have a look at the simulator > here <

Thanks once more for his restless effort!

Dear settlers,

on this occasion we wanted to present you a new picture of the BB_Ducks. However, everywhere we looked, we only found ... unicorns. Nothing but unicorns today, no matter where you go. What do those marvellous creatures have to say about that?

Do you have any idea what else they are talking about?
We are looking forward to your creative ideas in the > forums < !

Dear Egg Hunters,

We are celebrating the season of bunnies, coloured eggs and... Party Crashers? Nonetheless, the Easter bunny still sneaks by island occupants and is very keen to share his gifts with you. Please check your in-game mail for the presents.

Happy Easter to you, your family and your friends!
