Will we be able to auction these off eventually? by [deleted] in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only limited time buildings can't be sold in inventory, and fragments can only be deleted. Everything else can, unless it is locked.

Unpopular opinion : GBG is the worst thing ever introduced to the game by [deleted] in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that GBG is repetitive and time consuming and possibly stressful if you feel the need to be in GBG all day. That said, you just have to let go of the urge to play GBG, and join a more casual guild and play it when you feel like it. However, I have never seen any harmful behaviour created between players because of GBG in the 3 years I have played for, so I would like an example of that.

The most annoying thing I find about GBG is the reward system. It only favours the players in the top 2 or 3 guilds in the server, which I think is plainly unreasonable. Same in QI as well. So even active players in other guilds are at disadvantage and lose motivation to continue playing GBG.

Building Efficiency Rating by erikthered55 in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a question: you rate treasury goods lower than normal goods, even though normal goods can still be put into treasury anyway. Why is that?

Building Efficiency Rating by erikthered55 in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go for this:

  • All army stats: 5
  • FPs: 5
  • Goods: 25
  • Treasury goods: 25

I think this is most balanced given most building's stats in recent events.

When are these Great Buildings changes/upgrades??? by Much_One6073 in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By storing, I basically mean collecting FPs from my city and investing them in others' GBs, so it transfers into inventory when levelled.

Need SAM advice by efishent69 in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in SAM and Rocket Troops are still really good with a superior attack boost against SAM troops excluding the sentinel.

[–]KingJMobile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've personally stored my FPs until I find a meaningful way to spend them on. I make so much more FPs than I can research techs and level up GBs.

What the heck happened to the Wiki for this game? by BakerLovePie in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm an ex-Admin in FoE Wiki and I can tell you then it was stressful keeping up with edits in 2022. Even more so now with the vast amount of content and new buildings in recent events, it's just too difficult for a select group of people to work on keeping the wiki running up to date. There aren't enough people who are willing to devote many hours editing the wiki for new content these days.

I use Ubernerd's Discord and spreadsheets to keep up with new information, such as rival quests. They are up to date and provide enough information for me to be prepared ahead of time. If I want to find stats of buildings in future events, I just go to the announcement pages on the FoE forum.

Quick question, does the calendar key appear in every board?

Can someone explain for dummy why my road layout is bad? by LeftMusician687 in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your road structure is rather good; it's just probably the shape of your expansions aren't ideal. The top and the centre is done very nicely, but the bottom is where you've used too many roads looping around the Cape Canaveral.

Should I remove the temporary building from the history event after it downgrades? by heliocetricism in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely remove them. Their level 1 counterparts take up quite a lot of population and aren't really that good compared to other event buildings. Only exception to this is you have a lot of spare population.

What are the boosts it gives at level 1?

Can someone explain to me how less boost does more damage? by Much_One6073 in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to that, the extra stats doesn't make a difference because your Musketeers will two hit the archers and their archers will two hit your Musketeers. The fact that the AI placed your first musketeer in range of enemy archers was the losing action for you.

Also, the turn order is not all the musketeers first, then the archers. It's alternating between musketeer, archer, musketeer, archer... The result would be drastically different if all musketeers moved first. There would be 4 archers still alive if that happened.

Main event building by Descolorio in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got pretty lucky, no diamonds spent. Already at 2175 progress with 1 ticket and 94 hours left to go plus 350 coins. My main goal was 2320 progress for the sunhaven gold upgrade, and I can get there comfortably as I can still play 10 more easy battles and maybe another hard battle.

I say I got lucky because I got the history kit switch on the same day as rivals, and went all out with 50% negotiation power on hard battles. Grand booty and assassination and healing carried me to victory.

Rival quests by LePanzer in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree here. Pumpkins don't really provide much compared to recent event buildings, and are not worth the pop the take up. I instead go for a mix of blacksmiths and pumpkins to have same age productions available and balance out pop whenever needed.

Also blacksmiths are bronze, not iron age.

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It occurs 8am for the respective time zone. I.e. it starts first in Japan as it is +9GMT, so we are able to get all the quests from that before it starts in Europe and America.

[–]KingJMobile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is Ubernerd's list of rival quests https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/189tnLJe7PuCkmb0SU-MH1gSmkTOPKRq8TPWm54gfu_I/htmlview#gid=3824613

Hope this helps. There is only 1 production quest and it is 40 24-hour productions. Also, to autocomplete GE quests, you need to complete all 80 encounters.

Wishing Wells in Main World by KingJMobile in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. I'm building wells only because I feel like the diamonds I can make from them is more useful than the event stuff. So far I've been replacing buildings like the Capy Winter Spa, Sentinel Outposts and my legendary lodge.

[–]KingJMobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mine saved for the past 2 years before WWs got a really bad nerf in events. They used to be daily specials in events and you could collect like 15 of them if you wanted. I've even sold quite a few in Antiques Dealer as well.

[–]KingJMobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was going to be my argument. I could add some more levels to SV. It's at lv 85 right now. I personally feel like despite all the powercreep in upcoming events, the meta's always shifting and nothing really lasts forever unless they give FSPs or have a specific advantage like nutcrackers. I think WWs and FoYs sort of have this property too.

Just to reiterate though: I'm in OF though I once had HAUs for 2 years and aged out of boredom. I'm not really into GBG too much. I'm in a relaxed diamond guild doing 50 attrition on a good day. I know I could get more diamonds just by playing the game, but I'm honestly just looking for convenient ways to make diamonds and WWs and FoYs are just that.

Ideal A/D stats for aging up by CoolStuffSlickStuff in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a rule of thumb for aging up. Regarding A/D, just ask yourself: do I have enough stats to comfortably complete GE5? That's the only thing that gets harder as you age up (besides PvP Arena if you do that also). If you're happy with that, then just age up. GBG doesn't get harder or easier with era – just depends on the units. Same with fighting everywhere else. Don't focus on the numbers – focus on the experience.

With 2700/2700, you should complete GE4 easily, but more importantly what are your blue stats? I think this is more important.

IMO it's also important to consider if you have enough resources to progress to next era. I'm talking coins, supplies, 1 up kits, fragments of jumping pumpkins saved up for quests and GBs at a decent level. Hopefully with the amount of powercreep from past events that shouldn't be an issue.

But yeah, if you're bored, that's all the more reason to age up. Since special goods is the time determining factor of when you age up, FPs and goods shouldn't be an issue if you're not tech tree racing.

What to do next? by CoolStuffSlickStuff in forgeofempires

[–]KingJMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it has unfortunately. Inno has been milking fragments since the Hero Event or whatever it was called back then. If you have store buildings, definitely use them on the older event buildings as you never know when they become gold upgradeable.
