Hey settlers👋,
Today we surprise you with a big update, on the one hand with a new animal and new maps, on the other hand with a ton of changes regarding balancing and quality of life. Here we go 🔥:

🐟Pike:
Finally, the trout has a natural enemy that keeps the population under control. The pike hunts smaller fish and can be fished just like the trout.

🏔️New Mountain Map:
A new mountain map is now available. On it you will find additional iron ore but also an extremely cold climate!

🌳New Moderate Map:
A new fertile map with interesting cliff formations. Perfect for agriculture to support even larger cities with food

🏜️New Desert Map:
A new desert map with additional copper but extremely hot climate!

Thanks to your feedback, we've also made a lot of balancing and quality of life changes. You can find the detailed patch notes below. 👇
