A thunderstorm hit your island recently, engulfing it in darkness.
Emerging from their shelters, your settlers set about fixing the damage.
While clearing up the debris, they come across a big half-buried treasure chest.

Sending out of these gifts will start today (11.06.2014) around 15:30 BST.
Please note that it may take a while before gifts reach all recipients.

Happy Settling!

Dear Settlers!

Today there was an outage of the data center, caused by severe weather. Because of this, the outage took longer as not "only" this game was affected.

The service is back online (11:35 GMT).

• Premium- & adventure times were extended by 24 hours as a first step
• Many users try to login which may result in an access bottle neck.
  Please wait 5 minutes in case your try to access the game failed. Thanks!

As a next step, the situation will be analyzed. In case of questions, please contact the support. Most likely more information is in place tomorrow.

There is an issue in the current game version. It allows some players to produce more units than the maximum population limit.

As a side effect of this issue, a new settler might not be sent to new buildings in need of a new worker.

Please keep that in mind when you produce new military troops.
You can always check your settlers limits with the tool tip.

The issue will be fixed with the next game version.

Happy Settling!
