Greetings Settlers,

Your wheat fields are growing pumpkins, zombies are shuffling through the woods, and golems are scaring citizens in The Settlers Online: Castle Empire! Work with fellow Settlers to defeat golems and achieve a common gameworld goal. Collect spooky items, buildings and specialists and more. For more information, check out the Dev Diary or play now to experience it firsthand!

When you're not trick-or-treating, compete in our community events for a chance to win gems. Grant a wish - with a twist - in our Corrupted Wish event, concoct a sugary treat in our Design a Candy contest, or create your own horrifying golem in our Design a Golem contest.

Happy settling,

Greetings Settlers,

Today's quote comes courtesy of German philosopher,  Friedrich Nietzsche:

“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in the whole, in the building: posterity discovers it in the bricks with which he built and which are then often used again for better building: in the fact, that is to say, that building can be destroyed and nonetheless possess value as material.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
