Past Achievements
At the express request from the League of Verico, I took upon myself to update the document for the history of Praetoria in a summarized manner.
To protect Praetoria and hide the incredible powers of Castles and Keeps from outsiders, land-owning battle mages have formed a secret organization known as the League of Verico. Its members swear by three tenets: dedication to the cause, contribution to the cause, and loyalty through action.
As we step into 2026, the Splinterlands community is reflecting on 2025 as the year Land moved from a "passive stake" to a dynamic resource economy. Based on the insights from prominent Land Barons and the technical milestones achieved, I intend to write a summary post of what the land game was and what it wants to be in the year 2026 and beyond. However, to do that, first I must look back and update the Land Timeline, as I first described here.

I will follow up this post with the feedback from the community that I am compiling. Hope is that the community can view others opinion as an easy of find place.
I'd really like to see a road map for land development. I think the team have been put off putting out things like that when dates slip and inevitably they receive negative feedback.
I don't think we will get any roadmap for the reason you mentioned.
I do expect an updated white paper though
Thanks for the update. I am still trying to figure out what to do with my land. I checked out those sites you mentioned, but it is a lot more information than my brain can handle right now. I have been thinking about just wiping my lands and starting over again from scratch with my staked cards. I don't know though.
Lots of people have done exactly that. Removing every card and starting from scratch. It’s just 3 days cooldown and you will be much happier
Can't wait for developments in 2026!
Yes. Let's see.
See the acceleration in 2025... that is what you get when you put focus on it, and this was mainly one person 😍
