Inno has made changes to the event buildings. They are noted as such. The changes also change the recommended strategy for this event as well.
End of stage chests are back.
Of course league prizes are back.
There will be two rival challenges.
So there are a few new things. This is where we can earn your first historical ally.
Alexander the Great can live in the timeless junction we get for free or in the main event building "Arcadian Whisperwood Watermill".
What else is new? Downgrading kits. Yes the thing we've talked about several times a long time ago is finally here. It's about time too as we have been accused of spreading misinformation about it.
One Down Kit
This will allow you to decrease the age of a building by one age. If you've played the last rival quest that required troops of a previous age this little guy is going to make your game easier.

Strategy:
The reward boxes you can pick when a town is complete are not very good with the exception of Escutcheon Estate which you can only get from opening all the boxes. You need event currency to "buy all" the boxes. As a player you should pick a strategy before you start playing this event.
1) Do as many quests as possible and try to get into 1% gold league or...
2) Get as many Escutcheon Estates as possible.
Trying to do both without buying a lot of currency with diamonds is a bad strategy.
Strategy two has a lot of positives.
It takes longer to complete your city which gives you as much time as you want to complete quests. Once you set-up your town (15-20 min) you can just tend to it daily or twice a day and do just fine. In fact doing this strategy on secondary cities is very easy which is good because the rewards include wishing well/shrink kit fragments. Lastly but most importantly. QI advantages are just more valuable than regular rewards because they're more scarce.
QI rewards are excellent so getting QI advantages and thus doing more QI and getting more QI rewards have a higher pay-off than some more FP/goods/attack in your main city if you're an established player.
Edited to add: As of the changes made to the buildings in this event it is no longer advisable to target Escutcheon Estates as a strategy. That's both good and bad. The good is you no should no longer spend event currency using the "buy all" chests between towns so you can upgrade managers instead. The bad news is if you want the good rewards you now have to play the st patty's day mechanic.
What we tested in regards to managers for this event is the following. Remember the first town is a tutorial and you do not need to complete fully but we recommend you do as much as possible before you hit the long quests. At that time it's ok to skip to town two.
This game cycles towns 1-3
Town one:
festival/banquet 4
shipyard/coachman 2
hats/spice 3
flowers/beverage 2
cake/farm 3
drinks/baker 2
fireworks/ butcher 2
Town two:
festival/banquet 3 or 4
shipyard/coachman 3
hats/spice 1
flowers/beverage 3
cake/farm 3
drinks/baker 2
fireworks/ butcher 2
Town three:
festival/banquet 4
shipyard/coachman 3
hats/spice 1
flowers/beverage 2
cake/farm 2
drinks/baker 3
fireworks/ butcher 2
If you're saving event currency then only use lv3 manager on festival/banquet for all towns but this will be a bottleneck and may slow down overall progress if you are going for top 1% league prize.
