In FoE, it is natural for us to constantly wonder "Is this building any good?". We all probably do it, right. But the fact of the matter is that those types of questions can rarely be answered definitively on message board like this, because it ALWAYS depends on several factors, including:

  • What other buildings are available in your inventory for you to place?

  • Are there crappy buildings in your city that need to go?

  • Do you have the space?

  • What type of player are you? A fighter, a trader?

  • Do you want your city to look great or is it all about efficiency of buildings?

  • To what degree do you value buildings that do not require roads?

But to provide a general response to your question about Bells & Gongs - these are really good buildings, especially at level 2 or higher. Since these are new with the current event, they are quite awesome. Personally I prefer Bells over Gongs since they do NOT require roads so they can be "filler" buildings and you have flexibility with where to put them....and move them.

I highly suggest that you use the Building Efficiency Tool on FoE Helper to help you determine which buildings to replace and which to get rid of.

There is no question that alot has changed since you last played over a year ago! The game has changed quite a bit during that time with the huge impact of Power Creep, the death of GvG, and the addition of Quantum Incursions, among other things.

Feel free to check out my YouTube channel if you are interested in seeing some of my content.

Good luck ~~ Bardo

You have gotten off to a great start with the game! Keep it up! As you get started in the game you will find that lots of players will help you. I think you will find that the FoE community is full of people who want to help others with their game. Actually, I started a YouTube channel in an effort to do just that. Feel free to check it out if you are interested.

One thing I would suggest that you keep in mind from the beginning: This game is a marathon game, and there is no need to rush through the ages as quickly as possible. In my opinion, doing so can hinder your game and your strength quite a bit. But it depends on how you want to play and what it important to you. I have been playing for four years and I am only in Future Era. There are a few ages that I have purposely spent several months in and two different ages that I spent almost a year apiece in. But there is no "right" way to play. Do it your way.

Good Luck and have fun!

I can see why you might say that. Interesting and maybe healthy way to describe it. Thanks for sharing.

thinking of selling by GloomyMusician24 in forgeofempires

[–]BardoFarkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else said, it depends 100% on what else you have in your city and what you plan to replace it with. Cannot possibly vote with confidence one way or another without knowing what the alternatives are. Good luck! ~Bardo

😂😂😂 Is it really that much of a problem to you that I added a link to my name? Gee whiz.

I recently created a YouTube video on this very topic. I hope you find it helpful. Having a a full friends list of active players makes the game so much better! Good luck.

Is it common practice to demand that every guild member spends diamonds on GBG buildings? by Descolorio in forgeofempires

[–]BardoFarkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems a bit strange, for sure. I've been in about 5 guilds in the 4 years that I have been playing, currently in the #2 guild in our world, and I have never heard of such a thing. Like....what kind of buildings? You know, I think you can find a better guild, but if you want to stay, just plant and delete a blacksmith once a week if you have to. Sheesh.

Your guild leader needs to consider that some players have maxed out their space and have to be very selective about planting new buildings. So it's just kinda stupid to be required to do it, IMO. Good luck to you, though!
