A new patch is now available for The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom to update the management/strategy sequel to version 1.11. The Settlers 7 Website is still a couple of versions behind, and the patch news on the Ubisoft forums is likewise out of date, but Ubisoft does have the full patch on their file server. We couldn't as easily guess the filenames of the other patches, but they are all now available from AtomicGamer, The Patches Scrolls, and WorthPlaying. The new version is also available automatically though Steam, where we can find the patch notes, which include word that the new version adds a new Monhaim Valley map for skirmish and multiplayer as well as several new Occult Technologies. The full patch notes follow.
