Dear settlers,
With the upcoming Update the Anniversary Event will be technically implemented. More information will follow in a dev. diary.
An important change to the deposit was also made. There are no deposit limitations for Titanium, Granite and Saltpeter on the home island anymore.
As always, we look forward to your feedback!

Woo Hoo!!! Good news on the Archipelago deposits. Thank you!
"The issue with claiming new island sectors has been fixed."
Will there be instructions for us to follow? Will I be able to buy the deed that disappeared? Will be gems be returned? More clarification please.
thanks for fixing the depos

I don't think that more deposits were neede either, but now that the cat's out of the bag, this is the only logical fix.
"The issue with claiming new island sectors has been fixed."
So happy about this, thanks :)
"Changelog 18.09.18 update
Dear settlers,
Another change made it to the new version:
The settlers limit for the Settlers HQ was increased from 20 to 220 settlers."
This is awesome - ty .

My Settlers HQ still only gives me 20. I removed it and re-placed it. only the difference of 20... so did you change the original one... or just new ones planned to be available for the new Event?
Check it after the maintenance on the 18th.Quote:

I had to look up what it even is. Perhaps I will get one soon.
so bb left a placeholder image in the trading list (for lack of a better term)

i'm happy about the head quarters.. 20 always seemed...fairly tamed, considering it was an event prize. Glad it is getting a boost. Thanks. As to the buffs effecting the festival hall....are you removing the effectiveness of the master toolkit or adding the ability to place magic bean soup and chant of focus? I know we will find out tomorrow but...I'd rather go to bed mad or happy as the case may be.
Glad this has been helpful for you!Quote:

Yup, its fixed. Literally the only thing good to come out of a 25th Anniversary Event.Quote:

I'm fine with a resource sink that gives me at least 3 buildings and a general, and I like having something different to do instead of the same old stuff.
the resource sink isn't a big deal for people who have been playing this game for a long time and have established an economy going for themselves.Quote:

I think that's why a lot of them are selling dough at extreme prices. For them it is honestly a better deal. it's their way of turning this event into something beneficial for themselves. They might get a free building but on the personal balloon count, they can't be expected to get more than 10k (even that is pushing it). Hell, I have seen people offering to BUY 100k in water for 950 gold in the past few days. For players without IMPs or very few of them, this is not a very appealing event.Quote:

I think a new person has a decent shot at reaching the goal.
One level 3 farm, even with poor placement, produces at least 160 wheat/12 hours. With the harvest ritual buff available from the mayors house that production can be quadrupled. So 640 wheat/12 hours divided by 56 = 11.4 which more or less equates to one slot in the Festival Hall for 12 hours for someone at level 16. So a new person with 3 or 4 farms at level 3 can do 24 balloons an hour unbuffed. With the amount of dough they're getting and the number of people offering candles for dough on a 1:1 ratio they can make at least petite cake buffs fairly easily, if not enormous cakes.
I suppose it also depends on if the person is playing completely isolated or if they've made at least a couple of friends that are willing to help them out with knowledge, experience and resources/buffs. For all the people who've been complaining that BB has been taking away the opportunities for cooperation, well.... now's your chance.
But anybody new that can do basic math shouldn't be having a problem, even on their own. If I was new and looking at a chance to get 2 pop buildings that increase population by 360 combined, an improved deerstalker AND a general, I'd be going for it pretty hard.
look at the details, for both Shaman and Old Ruins you need to run the one which says it rewards retro scenarios.Quote:
