Unlock parts of the archipelago with rising level (50+). Be aware: Bandits are awaiting you.
Some facts about the Archipelago:
- More building space
- New and more powerful bandits which have to be defeated first
- Special "Archipelago" warehouse to be built to claim each island
- Deposits for resources previously obtained through adventures only: Titanium, Exotic Wood, Saltpetre, Granite

Every building will be upgradable to level 6.
This will provide more storage, more population and will boost the island's production to a higher level.
Some details about level 6:
- Grout is necessary for upgrading a building
- Grout can be obtained by playing high level adventures (via rewards), not only during events
- All buildings can be upgraded to level 6, e.g.: Warehouses, Bookbinder, Residences, production buildings etc.
Along with the new adventures and bandits, new player units and corresponding production chains will be added.
- A new production chain
E.g.: Homestead (Wool) -> Weaver (Cloth) -> Saddle Maker (Saddle Cloth) -> Elite Stables (Battle horse) -> New Units
- New weapons
- New more powerful units, i.e.: Better Riders, Cannoneers and Musketeers
- The new units cannot be used for old adventures because they are too powerful
The new game version is available on tsotesting.com. Check out the test server news for more detailed information.
