QI town for very advanced player (costs diamonds) guest contributor

 This is a town for players that are ok spending their diamonds in QI instead of GbG and events.

Special thanks for guest contributor this week.  Our former guild master turned mentor and friend Crash Cart but she goes by different names on other servers.  This is her settlement.  Because we are getting these screen shots mailed at various times it's best to copy this for next season instead of trying to start it this season.  She's just sending in the screenshots.  All the spelling errors are mine.

Buy 12 expansions.  One goods expansion and 11 with shards.  Costs 1,650 diamonds plus whatever impediments you have to clear.

There are not enough coin to fill-out the rest of the settlement.

1st Harvest

First delete houses and place churches until happiness is at 150%

Then collect coin.  Then remove houses and some churches while placing breweries.  Keep happiness at 150%.  When you can no longer place any more breweries then collect supplies.

Flat mode to make it easier to follow

After supplies are harvested then build catapult camp, make 50 catapults, delete camp.

Build three alchemists.

Delete breweries and place churches.  From here on out we will be maximizing quantum actions.

Remember to come back in an hour so the game registered the completed alchemists.

I took out one more church and added four houses so instead of making 594 chrono I'll make over 600 chrono.  That seems to be a good trade.

Second harvest we'll get 315 chrono from lower tiered buildings and 339 from three alchemists.

2cnd Collection

Remove some churches and place with estate houses

Collect coin.

Remove the estate houses we just built and place breweries.

Then remove churches and replace with breweries until removing more would drop happiness below 150%  Always check happiness before collecting.

Collect supplies then delete all the breweries we just built.

With all the empty space it's easy to rearrange the settlement so I place the buildings I'm going to keep for a while up near the town hall so the alchemists go there then I add three more.

I also build a ropery.  Now normally I would build honey then gunpowder then ropery last but moving forward I'm not going to build honey or gunpowder.  While I start with 30 of each goods and didn't want to waste them the reality is the inefficiency of building three types of goods buildings just isn't worth it.  So ropery goes in and will stay a while.

Then fill the space with churches and if there's room add a house.

Come back in an hour so the alchemists register as complete and depending on coin and supply start building goods expansions.

After goods building is done I'm making two expansions, putting two more churches in there and putting down two houses to fill the space.

The layout is now less efficient than it can be so during next rotation when there is lots of space I'll change the setup.

3rd collection

Start rotation by deleting churches and placing estate houses.

Collect coin.

Delete estate houses and some churches.  Place breweries until you can't place anymore without dropping happiness below 150%

Collect supplies.  Now I'm going to rearrange the settlement to make it more practical.

We have over 1k chrono alloy so we have a choice to build a bakery or clapboard house.  I prefer the house first and then build bakery next but it's just a choice.  We're no longer building intermediate buildings like alchemist.  I rushed the clapboard house and bought another goods expansion.

If you find you are short of coin or supplies you can put more estate houses or breweries in but I prefer maximizing quantum actions.

4th collection

Remove some churches and place some estate houses being careful not to drop happiness below 150%

collect coins then delete the houses we just built.

Remove some churches and houses to place breweries until you can't place any more without dropping happiness below 150%

We are going to build a bakery so instead of having tanneries we're going to replace those with breweries.  We want as many 20% boosts as possible to maximize the increased production of the bakery which we build and rush it.

Get two more goods expansions and fill the remaining space.

Flat mode to make it easier.

Remember if at any time you feel you need to prioritize chrono, coin or supplies you can forgo the churches for a collection.  Next season I will be trying that for all my early collections to see if I can complete settlement early and which plan gives more progress at the end.

5th collection

Remove some churches and place estate houses remembering to keep happiness above 150%

Collect coins and delete the houses we just built.  Remove some churches and place breweries in the space making sure to keep happiness above 150%

Collect supplies.  Remove the breweries we just built.

Build two bakery and rush them.  

Now for this next collection we will put in more houses.  We are going to be buying some expensive goods expansions and putting some doctors and another clapboard house in so we need the coin and chrono a bit more than the QA for this next collection.

We still have plenty of churches as we're not forgetting about QA.

6th collection

This should be routine at this point.  Remove some churches and place estate houses making sure to keep above 150% happiness.

Collect coins.

Remove houses and churches to fit in breweries.  Again keeping happiness above 150%

Collect supplies.

Remove the breweries.

Place one bakery, one clapboard house and one doctor.

Buy another goods expansion.

Fill the settlement and dealer's choice if you want to maximize quantum actions or put in some estate houses and leave in some breweries.

This should be Saturday night or early Sunday morning for you.  Still on map four so the fighting is easy.  The enemy only has a 50% fight boost which is what a forgotten temple gives.  Everyone should be doing 80 GE every week and if you do that on trial five or higher then you have a forgotten temple.

I don't put in any decorations but if you need to now would be the time to start adding decorations with every collection.  I still have 345 chrono unused from the last collection as I don't put in intermediate buildings anymore like alchemist so it's best to just use that remainder on the next collection but if you need decorations you should have the chrono to do it.

Our settlement is going to get very strong, very fast now that we have four bakeries and two clapboard houses each making 375 chrono.  Additionally we will be adding some doctors which will allow us to delete more churches, place more estate houses and more breweries as we rotate our crops.

This should be a key moment when building settlement.

One word of caution when building doctors.  While they're great for generating QA at this point we are going to build for happiness.  What that means is we are going to intentionally not build as many as we can because we need to be able to delete churches for our crop rotations.  If you don't have the ability to put in 20% buildings it will greatly hinder your ability to generate coin but especially supplies.  So many players have a hard time with supplies because of this.  Especially for people with tiny settlements.

The goal right now is to generate coin, supply and chrono so you have enough to build all the troops you need and convert the entire settlement to doctors.  If you partially convert your settlement and restrict the space you need to rotate crops it will take longer to convert the settlement.  So sacrifice some QA now as the priority is that quick conversion.

Just a reminder for this season we're only building the ropery so we have a lot of goods we can donate at any time.  It's best to do this on harder maps so you can save some troops but really just use the goods whenever an opportunity arises.  So if your guild has infinite nodes open and there's a goods node lower down that you can dump the goods on then go for it.

7th collection

Rotate crops.  Remove some churches and place houses making sure to keep happiness at 150%

Collect coins

Remove the houses and some churches and place breweries.

Collect supplies.

Remove breweries.

Place 

• 2 bakeries
• 1 clapboard house
• 1 doctor
• 1 goods expansion (390 goods)

Fill space with churches

8th collection

Rotate crops.  Remove some churches and place houses making sure to keep happiness at 150%

Collect coins

Remove the houses and some churches and place breweries.

Collect supplies.

Remove breweries.

Place 

• 3 clapboard houses
• 3 doctors
• get the 480 goods expansion

Remove the ropery.  The next expansions are too expensive but if you have a surplus of coin and supply later you can always build another.

Remodel the settlement to make sure the clapboard houses (near town hall) are separated from other houses.  You don't want to accidentally delete.

The reason for the clapboard houses is because we want the smallest amount of space taken up by houses that will also give enough population for our bakeries.

We also want enough happiness so we can remove more churches when rotating crops.

I hope when you look at this settlement you see groups of 6x6 clusters.

I went with putting churches in to maximize QA.  If you want to you can remove all the churches and place houses or breweries (depending on what you're short on) and let that cook over the next 10 hrs.  When it's ready to collect look at our very 1st collection where you remove a building and add a church until you reach 150% happiness.  You will get more chrono and coin OR supplies depending on what you built but less QA.  I'm all about the QA but you do you.

Viking Event on Beta April 2 - 23, 2026

 

Embargo until "end of March" not a specific day.  Hold remaining until lifted.

We can finally talk about the controversial axe throwing event and there are some changes this year so pay attention.

Event currency is called "Fate Amulets"

• quests
• daily challenge
• incidents
• purchase with diamonds

Event store is "Fjord Market"

Like previous events there are two event store currencies.

• Muninn coins
• Geri Coins.

Geri Coins is the premium currency and what most people will be targeting on the wheel.  When you collect this from wheel you gain two grand prize progress.

Store automatically refreshes at reset and can be refreshed once per day for free with additional refreshes costing muninn coins.

Pay Fate Amulets to throw axes.  Each axe thrown grants two grand prize progress.

You are playing against your hood.  So you are competing for the good prizes on the wheel but remember not everyone sees value in what you see so they may refresh the wheel when you almost have what you want or they could just be griefing because they're bitter a-holes.  That variable is why people hate this mechanic.

There is a daily task mini-game that involves you using event currency (throwing axes) to complete mini-quests.  There are six a day.  Once you complete the first three the next three rewards are doubled.

That means you need to manage your event currency.  Your incentive is to complete all six tasks when you play the mini-game.  If you can't do that daily then you are better-off skipping a day and getting all six the next day than you are getting three completed daily.

We'll see how the balance works on Beta but in testing there was nowhere near enough currency to even do it every other day.

Only throw axes to complete those mini-quests.  Pay attention as some of those quests will ask to refresh and throw X axes and some will just say throw X axes.  Some of the quests will say claim X so be dam sure that the X they're looking for is still on the wheel.

You can throw 1, 3 or 5 axes at a time.  You get the best grand prize progress by throwing three axes at once.

• 1 axe gives 2 grand prize progress
• 3 axes gives 7 grand prize progress
• 5 axes gives 11 grand prize progress

If you refresh board it also throws an axe of whatever quantity is selected.

If you throw 5 axes and there are only 3 prizes remaining on the wheel then you'll get 2 on the next wheel with the automatic refresh.

Be careful.  In testing when I had a quest to throw 5 axes and there were only 4 on the wheel the quest did NOT complete as it acted as a refresh.  I do not know if that was intended or a bug that will be fixed.  Obviously if you're doing that quest just don't be cute with it and make sure there are enough prizes on the wheel.

Prizes on the wheel

• green border is a common prize and claimable four times each
• silver border is a rarer prize and has two claim
• gold border is the rare prize and only available once per wheel
