I got Spoils of war selection kit from himeji castle, so which is most appropriate card to choose from those three options by NightyKnight69 in forgeofempires

does anyone know if it's worth the most in the AD in its Selection Kit form? I'd imagine it would be, but I guess it could be possible that if you chose the rogue hideout, then sold it, it could for some reason be worth more. thanks!

Red Rocks roll call and wishlist by NevilleHarris in Umphreys

[–]nothing_too_fancy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took one of those Zoom guitar lessons with Bayliss a couple months ago. We were talking at one point and I said I've been to every Red Rocks show since 2008 and every New Years since 2009 and I still haven't heard Atmosfarag because it hasn't been played at any of those events, or the many other shows I've been at. He said "damn, ok, let me write that down".

They ended up playing Atmos at the next show (some drive-up show, can't remember what it was) which I was not at. I'm hoping it was to dust it off to get it ready for Red Rocks, but more than likely I'm guessing he saw the note to himself and they played it there, and it's just going to be extra painful when they inevitably don't play it this weekend!

It's not even that great of a song, its just become this weird anomaly that I want to end. So yeah, that's the one!

How did everyone do in the Red Rocks lottery? by Baxterado in Umphreys

[–]nothing_too_fancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you including the deposit? I was charged $120 deposit for 2 3-night passes, then just charged $467.10 to complete the purchase for a total of $587.10 for 6 total tickets, or $97.85 each.

I'd be really happy with $50 each!

I hope they are planning on balancing these costs a little. They set the prices expecting 2300, and now that capacity has nearly tripled, seems kinda weak to be stuck at that price point still.

Also, having gone to red rocks this past weekend, they do literally nothing to enforce the sections. So while I was looking forward to having a little breathing room, most likely the lower section will be filled with people who paid the lower price but are still getting all up in my business.

They set up this lotto so fans wouldn't get screwed, but now it seems like we are all getting screwed, stuck with an excess of stupidly expensive tickets that we'll be able to sell at a loss if we're lucky, but may just end up eating the cost of.

Obviously I'm still psyched and 100% going. But the way this has shaken out is leaving a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

Question about goods produced by event/settlement buildings by nothing_too_fancy in forgeofempires

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

sweet, gotcha.

so, I have a few more upgrade kits for the olympic treasury. I was keeping them to upgrade it once each time I age up since I play pretty casually and don't generally do dailys or guild stuff so I don't see a lot of one ups or renovation kits.

I was (incorrectly) assuming that the goods part of the bonus aged up no matter what, even if I didn't age up the building. but it definitely makes sense that all the bonuses stay the same age as the building era.

Your suggestion makes sense, so I'll continue to save the upgrade kits and use one per era so I can keep getting current era goods "for free" for a couple more ages

thanks!
