Updated Master Spreadsheet

 To go to the spreadsheet click here


It now includes the new GbG buildings and the Anniversary Event buildings that will be on Beta next week.

We're working on ways to make the master spreadsheet better and are looking for user input.

GbG Championship 2, 2026

 


Starting March 5 on Beta

We're posting this "as is" because we expect these rewards may change and now there's a record before the change.

The Master Spreadsheet has already been updated to include these buildings.

Site updates



We're going to be updating the master spreadsheet "value" and would like your feedback.

While value is subjective we are still trying to objectively apply values to all boosts so players can rate a building by what it provides on a per square return.

We look at buildings as belonging to one of three categories.

1) Quality of life

2) Specific need

3) return per square

FoE forums

 We were sent some copy/paste items from the FoE forums.  We don't use the forums or the discord so this was new to us.  Essentially the person who wrote to us was asking if the FoE team was lying to them on the forums.


The above is the official statement for the person who was at the time the go to community manager.

The below was a response to that.


None of us will be heading over to the official forums to partake in this controversy.  I believe you have to register to participate and we favor anonymity so people can just be honest.

Anniversary Event for Beta (start date TBD) We think March 2, 2026 it start on Beta

 Consider this write-up a WIP as they're still finalizing some of the boosts after testing was completed.

Delayed for balancing changes.  You can see the edit below to the world fair buildings.  Announcement coming shortly.  Should be on Beta March 3.  Still pending more changes.

To see our WIP post during the testing you can see it here.  We will probably just copy/paste it here anyways because we're lazy and the information is accurate but not in a pretty format.

Note the event store is more complicated than previous events.  We will wait until it goes live on Beta where we can capture more images as it's easier to show than to explain.

We're removing the ability to contact us via email but for a good reason.

 


We added the ability to contact us via a widget on this blog months ago and many of you lovely people took the time to send mail.  Some were questions, some were compliments, some were insults but none of them could be replied to.  So no thank you for compliments/insults and no way to answer the questions which were the majority of the mails we received.

Great Buildings changes not here yet but will be soon

 So some quick background.

For those not familiar with the planned "Guild Conquest" mechanic that was supposed to be introduced in Q3 2025 and you can read about it here and here.  That game mechanic was "paused" until at least 2027 for good reason and we should all be thankful for that.  The problem is Inno wanted to make GB's great again and a large part of how that was going to happen involved the introduction of Guild Conquests and GB's that provided bonus or effects for that mechanic.  

The GB's and reward/quest system of the new age also relied on the GB update to be in place at launch so that was delayed as well.

Guild Conquest -- GB update -- New age mismanagement are all linked.

So once Guild Conquest was officially taken off the table the GB upgrade was going to proceed.


You can read about what it was going to be here.  The reason we don't have it is because of the huge backlash from the community.  That backlash stemmed from how they planned to handle the bronze/tier one level of the new tier system.

St Patrick's Day Event 2026 for live server


 Starts Feb 17 runs through to March 17, 2026

The duration of this event changes things.  On Beta there were only 21 daily tasks where live server will have 28.

The event currency management will also be different.

You get 14,450 pots of gold (event currency) if you login daily and complete all the challenges.  You can expect 250-500 more from incidents.  So expect slightly less than 15k pots of gold without buying more.

It's best to decide on strategy prior to event start.

St. Patrick's Day Event post for live server delayed

 

We've delayed posting of the event for live server for a few reasons.  To be clear the event is not delayed.  If anyone has played the event on beta you know it was a mess.  At one point the quests just stopped.  The balancing was messed up.  Changes were early in the event..

  • Added an additional slot with Druid Hut Selection Kit with a price of 8 Fortune Coins.
  • Lowered the price of Ascended Blueberry Field from 20 to 10 Fortune Coins.
  • Lowered the price of Ascended Blueberry Field Upgrade Kit from 40 to 8 Fortune Coins.
  • Lowered the price of Ascended Whispering Well from 40 to 10 Fortune Coins.
  • Lowered the price of Ascended Whispering Well Upgrade Kit from 80 to 8 Fortune Coins.

Then more changes half-way through the event....

Anniversary Event 2026 WIP

 Event is a copy/paste of previous merge events with some tiny adjustments in testing.  We'll post more when rewards are confirmed and embargo lifted.



World's Fair is getting a silver, gold and platinum upgrade. Changed to a world event building

Ascended also appears to be world's fair but since it was just placeholder asset in testing we'll just say it's not confirmed at this point.
