Ubisoft is offering free gameplay for fans to explore.
A new resource has also been introduced – balloons. Users will find many ways to collect balloons, including by completing new quests and adventures, by sending their explorers for treasure searches, or by converting almost any resource into balloons.
Additionally, servers are challenged to reach a certain amount of balloons. When a server completes 100% of its balloon objective, users will be automatically rewarded with the Settlers II original headquarters. Each further objective obtained will grant players additional rewards. The fastest server and the one to gather the most balloons will receive extra bonuses.
