05.11.2013Remember, remember, the fifth of November...
Dear Settlers,
What a ghastly incident! The rumours bubbling around amongst the Settlers in your village were true-- there was indeed a dastardly criminal attempting to blow up your Mayor's House!
Luckily for you, your Settlers nabbed the culprit, foiled the plan and even found these resources stowed away in the crim's basement! All's well that ends well, right?
Happy Guy Fawkes!
Best,

28.10.2013The cavalry horses bolted!
Dear Settlers,
Word has it in the settlement that a herd of cavalry horses escaped and rampaged through the villages on Friday night, neighing and distracting the Settlers from their work and relaxation for several hours.
Due to this, the military has left a few presents to make it up to the Settlers who were interrupted during this time!
Best,

Dear Settlers!
One of your settlers found out that a powerful witch was attempting to cast a terrible spell - one that would plunge all villages into an eternal darkness! The golems decided to thwart the witch's plan, sending several of their comrades to defeat her.
