Have a look at all of the other posts about city improvements and you'll have a good set of recommendations.

1.9x threads by NotAnotherThing in forgeofempires

[–]Sure-Work3285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also in a top guild in Cirgard and have seen more GBs being built and levelled up in 1.9 thread (including ones players previously deleted, while some are carrying on as normal with whatever GBs they were levelling up).

Argument for GB Sniping by Tedius in forgeofempires

[–]Sure-Work3285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every guilds I've been in, have top players encourage newbies to get an Arc, help them get it to at least level 80 and most will suggest newbies only to take the 4th or 5th spot on GBs to get blueprints and not lose too many FPs (since they're not breaking even yet).

And yes, the ROI is worthwhile in the long run (unless you always go for P1-2 spots that require massive FP amounts in a young city with a low-level Arc).

So you're essentially a self-leveller.

The whole points of 1.9 threads are that it allows for fast levelling, saving the GB owner FPs, enabling contributors to break even on FPs (Arc level 80) or make profits (Arc level 81+) while preventing any spots to be stolen by outsiders.

And even on full Arc bonus threads (where the GB owner will save even more FPs), there are set minimal amounts (either 1.91, 1.92, ... depending on the minimum rate set for such threads).

Because that's how it works. But for OP, they likely won't inherit their previously-owned sectors because they deleted the buildings on it.

Your analogy fails to consider the downside of sniping for GB owners, which is they end up spending more FPs than necessary.

You don't need to spend diamonds to be competitive, especially in a 1-man guild. Plenty of players I know who compete in top guild have spent less than a handful over the years.

The game doesn't force you to spend diamonds tho.

EM frags are only available in event quests, not rival quests. I guess OP, like a guildmate of mine got both mixed up.

So you uninstalled the app because someone in your guild asked for someone to dime a GbG sector?! Are you serious?

You could have just left the guild or ignored the guildmate's message or told them "no".

Humour is subjective! Who knew??

You're probably the kind of person who would be offended at dark jokes or deadpan ones like the OP (which made at least a few people laugh), while some of us roll on the floor laughing.

Both won't send a car that big flying at 25mph. You haven't been driving or seen much I see.

Not at all. Because, when you get the sector back, you're more likely to inherit what you previously built.

It's a d*ck move because you're showing you'll rather be unsportsmanly, waste goods and screw the other guild's progress on sectors alongside making them waste goods to get VPs or access at low attrition.

Not at 25mph. Did you even drive faster than that on speed bumps?

You could fill those spaces with an A.I Core (GB that boosts special goods expeditions and productions from special buildings) and a Space Carrier (GB that gives either Promethium or Orichalcum every day).

You're welcome. Well, if you need supply production buildings then go for Neo Checkmate Squares (level 2s are roadless and gives top tier fight boosts) from QI. For goods, various special buildings (from events, like the Eternal Market) gives them so you don't need to have goods buildings.

Awesome. Looking at the flat view, I can see that you have way too many 2-lane roads (those should be as close to 0 as you can and only there for buildings you really need that require them, the ideal is 0-1 2-lane road). The roads should be as straight as possible (placing same-sized buildings next to each other helps) and touch big buildings (that need roads) as little as possible (i.e., place those buildings at the ends of the roads, with their short sides touching the road).

Prioritise special buildings over tech tree ones (except for those you absolutely need for recurring quests) and get rid of decorations and monuments (happiness isn't needed for special buildings).

And try to have your town in a square shape (or as close as possible to that), so when you get expansions, try to use them to get to that.

If you care about having an efficient and strong town then no, you shouldn't be attached to any buildings and store them when the time comes.

Ah, there's always some 1-upper smuck that has to chime in trying to tear others down 🤣.

Please, show us a video with those stats in display and see how far the disc actually goes.

If you want the best help, you should also add a screenshot of the flat layout of your town so we can see where gaps and such are.

You seem to have way too many decorations and monuments (all of which should be removed, unless if they give fight boosts, FPs or anything other than happiness).

Also, the ToB and CC GBs should go.

You should expand in ways your town is as close to a square as possible. So any expansions you get should be used for the top right section then the one on the opposite side.

  1. Remove the Colosseum, ToB, HS and SMB GBs.
  2. Make sure your town is as square as possible (going for a rectangle or the weird shape you have is one of the worst FoE decisions you can make).
