Dear Settlers,

The Excelsior has traveled to destinations far away from anything your Settlers have ever even heard of. In September we asked you to write about her adventures! We received over 200 stories and decided to increase the awardees :)!

Congratulations to the winners:
Julie3 (DE) & Thejollyone (UK)!

Thanks for your work and happy Settling!

Dear Settlers,

Dear Settlers,

it's that time of the year again: Halloween is coming closer! Sonya Graham just reported seeing some ghosts in the distant. Your Geologists have spotted  golems growing up in underground tunnels below your island - a brand new golem has been found! The "Supreme Golem."

We've implemented new content like buffs, buildings, and decorations in this year's Halloween event. Also, the way Pumpkin Cemeteries work has been changed.

More Adventures reward Pumpkins (via Refillers). Find Pumpkins by sending Explorers out on a Treasure search, collect guaranteed Pumpkins on the island and play hard to get all 2016 Halloween Achievements.

Check out the > Dev Diary about Halloween Event 2016 <
Changes compared to last year's event are highlighted to make them easier to find.

Have a Happy Halloween!
Spooky Settling!

Dear settlers,

It appears that some spooky ghosts are wandering about in our forums. They must have escaped from an early Halloween build, but they're not welcome here!

Help us hunt them down by taking part in our > forum ghost hunt. <

Happy hunting,
