SETTLEMENTS Update: ERA 10 - Victory or Death!

Welcome to the start of ERA 10 content.

Today's patch will open the way into ERA 10 and more content will be released throughout June.
ERA 10 is different from every other era.
There will be a lot less building/item creation but more focus on the 3 seperate storylines, adventure quests and victorys that can be achieved.
As we progress into ERA10, you will have to decide upon how you will try to end your game.

• Make peace with the Blight Entity!
• Destroy the Blight Entity!
• or Flee the planet and save as many people as possible.

Here are the patch notes for today's release.
Enjoy!
