Right... so you are happy that you got for free something you don't deserve. And you can close the book and skip two extra runs rest of us had to do.
I did all the runs to get my Yggdrasil up to 9, and have 2 runestones - one at five, one at 4. I am doing the first of the two runs needed to upgrade it to 5 now, and am happy that after this change I can close the book on the vikings.
You incorrectly surmised that I had not done the runs yet. I did not get anything for free. I worked for it. People who will start the settlements only after the change will not get anything for free either. They will have to work for it too.

I do not see any reason why they should compensate people who did the settlements first.
Hypocrit, that is all I can say. So our effort should not be recognized but your "freebies" are good because they save you two extra runs!
Hard to argue with this logic...
When I wrote my original comment, I didn't realize that inno is giving the people who, like me, have already done many settlement runs only 3 extra fragments, whereas people who do the runs later will get 6 extra fragments. That seems unfair to me.
Especially if you add to that the effect of switching the 5 and 10 quests done reward (the fp's and goods). It means that people who did the 25fp cycle and no settlements, and will start settlements after the change, are WAY better off than people who started settlements and who are (almost) done with them now.
It makes more sense to reward the players who played the settlements the way it was intended, instead of the people who exploited the 25fp run. I cannot imagine that Inno intends this, and I hope they change this by rewarding 6 fragments per finished settlement instead of 3.
Darth: I hope this explanation solves the misunderstanding.
