Rule Change for Relocation
Wednesday, 28 July 2010 20:21

Choosing your city is an important decision, which preferably should last for the whole duration of the game period. Furthermore, a player who has reached the status "Active Citizen" is making an important contribution to his/her city as it competes for the title "Capital of Catan." Relocation of such citizens - particulary during the final stage of the game period - may unbalance the game. After careful consideration, we therefore decided to implement the following rule change.

Do you want to become a Premium player, but you neither have a credit card nor PayPal? Are you German and don't want to use the Elektronisches Lastschrift-Verfahren (electronic debiting procedure) because you do not want to disclose your bank information on the Internet? Do you want to pay via bank transfer or giroPay? Or are you Dutch and would like to pay via iDEAL?

No problem: As of now, you can also purchase Premium coupons from our sales partner share*it! – well-known to people who buy our computer game “Catan – Cities & Knights.” Apart from giving a purchased coupon away, you can also redeem it yourself in order to upgrade your own account to a Premium account.

Replacing faulty COW installer for Mac and Linux
Friday, 04 June 2010 15:18

Effective immediately, the COW client V3-1.680 replaces the older version 3-1.657 for Mac OS X and Linux.

Using the English client frequently resulted in a rather slow program startup compared to the German version. Under certain adverse conditions this could even lead to the point that the client refused to start up, showing a Java related error message.

Unfortunately, at this time the affected faulty files can not be replaced by the automatic update procedure. Especially players using the English client version should by all means download and install the new program version.
