Cultural Settlement Changes
With the introduction of the new Settlement, the previously announced updates to the Cultural Settlement buildings and Emissaries will also be implemented. If you have previously acquired buildings and Emissaries from past Settlements, they will be automatically updated to the latest version.
For those who earned these rewards in the past but have since sold or deleted their Cultural buildings, and have not reached out to our support team for restoration, there's no need to worry. You will find these buildings back in your inventory, as we have reinstated them for everyone who had deleted theirs.
The full announcement of these changes can also be found here: Get Ready for Epic Adventures in Polynesia & Enhanced Cultural Settlements!
However, our work doesn't stop here. More changes to the Cultural Settlements are on the horizon, so stay tuned for more information coming soon!
We hope your journey to this serene island is both enriching and enjoyable. Don't worry, it will soon be available in live markets as well. Given that the Polynesian Settlement is quite compact and similar in design to the Viking Settlement, we've planned for just a brief beta testing phase.
If this journey captivated you, join our vibrant Discord community to exchange strategies and stories with fellow explorers!
Happy building, Forge Fans!
