Updated level rewards!

Incase you don't know...head on over to tsotesting.com, if you test the new features for 15 minutes you will get a reward on your main account! Not sure what the rewards are yet, I will keep you posted.

I'm in the process of updating the 'level rewards sheet' for the new tutorial, it can be found here. These new features and quests will be going live in 6 days! Been looking at the new trade system too, it is AWESOME and much easier to find what you need. I'll also be writing a bit on the new guild quests when I get there.

UPDATE; The first reward was a cheese sandwich....hopefully they'll improve as the tests go on :)

Resource map, and other news!

A nifty little map, updated by Dyunel. Shows you all the resources located on the island! I've used this when wondering how many times to send out my geologists when grabbing a new section.

In other news, I've just received a hundred views on my blog! Not bad for only being open a week!

I've also added another page, where I will catalog all the links I post. You can get there by clicking the 'guides/useful links' button at the top of the page. I will endeavour to post more content here over the weekend, I'm currently moving house at the moment.

Thank you all, and Happy Settling!

Provision House guide *incomplete*

I have made a guide to the Provision House, as someone requested on the forums, and I thought it was a good idea. I will also be making a similar guide to the Barracks in a few days.

The guide can be found HERE

Included are costs, benefits, and construction times for all levels of the Provision House.

(This is a work in progress at the moment, due to me being too tired to calculate the Level 5 attributes and unable to level up my own provision house this week!)


Enjoy!

The best battle simulator.

There have been a number of battle simulators made for The Settlers Online, but my personal favourite has to be http://www.settlersonlinetools.com/en/combat_simulator/

It's the best looking by far, and even allows you to see the easiest way to defeat each camp. Camp selection is easy, and map based, rather than in the list style I've seen on some other battle simulators, which can get confusing.

A combat indicator is going to be integrated into the game at some point...but for now, bookmark this, and stop losing troops ;)

Moving buildings, and their cost.

As mentioned yesterday, the ability to move buildings is going to be added to the game on the 16th August. The feature will be added to the toolbox tab.

I have just come across this rather nice spreadsheet made by the user Sinister-King, which details the costs for moving buildings as demonstrated in the test server. The prices are likely to come down when the feature goes live, but it's nice to have a rough idea!

Thanks to Sinister-King for creating this.

(And, if you'd like to contribute with accurate information, I'll give you a reward per missing answer. Email me with your username)
