AMA Event!

Hi Settlers

In the spirit of “Meet the BB” we are happy to announce that we will lead an “Ask Me Anything” on our forums.

As you may already know, BB_Aeyline our new GM and I, BB_Endesmor the Community Manager have recently joined the team and would like to give you the opportunity to get to know us by asking any question which we will be glad to answer! We only ask that you keep the questions within the Code of Conduct.

Post your questions here, and I will then lock this thread on Wednesday the 20th. After reviewing the questions, I will finally post our answers before the end of the week.

Be creative!

Hi and welcome, with the new Settlers of Anteria maybe releasing soon what is going to happen to TSO? Will there still be a dev team devoted to this game or will it be a back burner project? Will there be new content or more of the recycled stuff?

I tried to sign up for the closed beta and the only response I got said: "Please Wait". Over and over and over again. Is this a nice way to treat people(customers)?

What will the skill trees for the rest of the science system be and when will they be released?

When will the ability to remove mountains and open up island space that was on the test server months and months ago be implemented?

Will there ever be an endless iron mine, with the same mechanics as an endless copper mine?

An endless iron mine sounds fantastic! And an endless gold mine while you are at it!

Which of the following equates an automatic ban: cheering for NC state, Duke, or NC?

When will the people who don't spend money to support the game stop whining?

What's your favorite: sports team, animal, color, activity besides gaming?

can i have an "infraction" removed a lot of these posts prove my point

I have closed the thread, we will post the answers tomorrow!

Not a fan of sports, but I have a special place in my heart for San Diego Clippers.

Animal hmm love cats and dogs. I have a yorkshire and a rescue cat who follow me everywhere! :)

My favorite color is black, makes me look thinner :D

When not playing games, I'm eating. Either that or sleeping. I enjoy reading as well, but haven´t had a lot of time lately.



Nobody asked, but I'm a fan of reality TV (call me crazy)>nice to see there are crazier people out there.

and...no! no game related answers from my side, sorry guys!

Here are my answers

Hi Troll-Phu, and thanks!
A dedicated team within Blue Byte is working on The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria. The TSO team will keep working on TSO.
Nothing is going to change on our side, we will still be pushing updates and events.

Hello Wimpy,
I understand your frustration, but the new battle system is still in an early development stage. The developpers have specific needs when it comes to testing, that is why we have asked our players to fill in a survey. Having high expectations about a new feature that is not ready can be even more frustrating.
We want to provide the best gaming experience for everyone, but before that we need to tweak a couple of things.

Hello Perwyn,

In my opinion an endless Iron Mine would damage the economy. Iron is used to create tomes and many different weapons, but can also be traded. A normal Iron Chain requires you to invest Hardwood, Marble and Tools to build a mine, and some more tools to upgrade it. It is also a time consuming process, as you need to send your Geologist on a mission. Removing those requirements would lower the price of Iron, as the demand will decrease, but the supply would increase. Given that gems are a hard currency, their value is should be stable, so shouldn't impact other currencies as they are not regulated.
This is my personal point of view, and I am not a designer, just an humble Community Manager.
I will forward your feedback to the developers, thanks!

Hey Draconus2004,

Not cheering for me results in an automatic ban ;)
I'm not American (for those of you who are curious, I'm French) and I'm not into sports very much.

Hi psaltery,

• sports team:

As I said before, I'm not into team sports very much. I've been doing some rock climbing and skydiving for many years, but unfortunately I had to stop when I moved to a bigger city, the clubs and transports were too expensive. Natum Vincere is my favorite esports team.

• animal:

After playing some Goat Simulator, I think they have convinced me of that: Goat are funny animals!

• color:

I love black ... and purple.

• activity besides gaming:

I not very often away from my PC. When not gaming, I am reading about technologies, writing some code (I code in C++, Python, some LISP and I'm trying to learn DirectX) or fighting my cat for some bacon (or for my keyboard, he sleeps on it). Oh, and I also like Overclocking.

Hello RonEmpire,

I don't have an answer, sorry.
I will investigate and try to find something!
