Wildlife Event for live server Jan 13, 2026

Beta version is here As of Jan 12, 2026 there are no changes from Beta to live server. There was one change about midway through beta and this summary is accurate. It's the same as previous events with a few changes so we'll highlight those changes as we go. You start with four tickets and they will regenerate until your ticket bar is full again with four. We believe it's one ticket per eight hours but they will not confirm this so will update when it comes out. Edit Dec 8: Confirmed that it's still 8hr/ticket regen time. There will be a grand prize line with additional silver and gold if you want to pay cash for more baby! Entrance Tickets - used to start a new board. You get 25 turns per board. Pop blocks. The bigger the cluster the better the reward. Drop paws to advance the grand prize bar. When chests drop you get items and flutter coins. Golden Tickets - five minutes of playing a board without using regular tickets Safari...

Inno is showing what they think of their player base.

Let me show you what prompted this post. Now if you happen to be in Iron Age there's no problem but for literally every other age this is a huge F-you to the player base. It's bad enough that they already ask for goods production from previous age. It's even worse when they ask for troop production of a previous age but now production? Seriously go F-yourself. So a player in SASH will have to do 24hr productions 26 time of a previous age production building. Get bent.

GB update news Aug. 28, 2025

Embargo until Aug 28, 2025 come back then Update EDIT: Great Buildings Prestige update postponed due to massive backlash from the community. No word on implementation date. We can finally talk specifics about the GB update and there's a lot to talk about. We've made comments previously that while this update is very much needed there will be a lot of upset players and now we can tell you why that is. We are going to condense the information into just what you need to know as there is a lot. The way we level the GB's are changing from infinite levelling to tiers. Copper lv 1-100 Silver lv 101-200 Gold lv 201-300 There are two more tiers not yet announced for later update. BP's Consider what we have now as copper which then upgrades to silver which then upgrades to gold. To upgrade tiers you need the corresponding BP's. So you will have copper, silver and gold BP. The existing BP's you have now will convert to copper. You can then refine 2 c...

St Patrick's Day Event on Beta Server starting Jan 13, 2026

We started posting information about this event last October. Here is the link if you want to see it or how things have changed from the WIP/Alpha testing to Beta. There were not a lot of changes but every change was to decrease the rewards. This event mechanic is now so well known that it hardly seems worth discussing so we won't and we'll go right to strategy. Before the event starts you need to decide which strategy you will choose. Do you want to open all the boxes when completing a town or festival or whatever they're calling it this time OR do you want to complete as many tasks as possible and go for gold league? If you want to advance the prize line and go for gold league then be prepared to complete 23-28 festivals (I will probably call it towns a number of times and won't bother changing it.) You should also be prepared to spend a lot of diamonds as this has historically been a high spending event. So buy extra event currency, hire lv5 manage...

Higher Age Units the easy guide

There are plenty of guides out there and most are good. Some are hard to follow and there are a few that are flat-out wrong. I'm putting this out because despite all the guides available (including one already on this blog) people still ask how to do it and there is a need for a hand-holding version. That's not a pejorative it's just the reality that there is a need for a simple and accurate guide. Getting troops of a higher age involves pushing the campaign map in a very specific way. Negotiate some sectors, fight others and completely ignore some. The other aspect is the tech tree. Deciding to go for higher age troops means you will leave certain techs unresearched because you will need them later. Lastly, the third leg of this adventure is working the story quests and side-quests correctly so you do not get blocked. If you mess up any of these three legs it may be somewhat correctable by forgoing some advanced age troops or by moving to the n...

New Master Spreadsheet UPDATED Dec 15, 2025

Link to the master spreadsheet can be found here Added the new GbG reward buildings coming to live server in 2026 Added the new QI buildings coming to live server in 2026 Changing the Value rating of Event Buildings We base value primarily on scarcity and how advantageous it is in the game. All mentions of number of tiles includes roads. Troops: We’re decreasing the value of troops because there are so many sources of troops now that it just isn’t as valuable. It’s going from number of troops/tile/10 to Number of troops/tile/20 QI boosts: QI fight boosts were previously given a (times 30) multiplier to reflect the scarcity and importance of having QI fight boosts in your city. We’re removing the multiplier entirely for now. It may be adjusted later to reflect community feedback. GE boosts: The raw numbers remain unchanged but for “value” we halved the GE boosts as they are less valuable. Thank you to "Catherine" for the feedback on the spreadsheet...

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. 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.

Spreadsheet with all buildings and GB's in the game as of August 1, 2024

Link to spreadsheet here If you want to skip the blah, blah just click the link to get the spread sheet. New from last post is Glimmdrake Tower lv1 Glimmdrake Tower lv2 The Neo King lv1 The Neo King lv2 The Neo Queen lv1 The Neo Queen lv2 These are the new GbG towers and new QI reward buildings. These are found at the bottom of the first spread sheet and will remain there until they are on live server. It's just easier to make changes if they do change between Beta and Live. Sometimes, as you know Inno changes things AFTER they go live and that's much larger pain in the butt. We've also added columns to the right of sort tables that have been requested. Ok why does this exist? The answer is simple. It's too freaking hard to keep track of all these new event buildings and then the buildings that the new ones make and the upgrades to the old buildings. How do you know what's good anymore? Well why not get all the information fro...

Updated building stats including Winter Event 2024 buildings

Select this link to the spreadsheet Updeted to include all the buildings in the Halloween Event 2024 that is currently running on Live Servers and all the buildings of the Winter Event that is currently running on Beta. The beta buildings are in orange and expect them to change. There are five tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet. 1) all buildings not sorted as of the Winter Event 2024. Beta buildings in orange at the bottom and not in alphabetical order. 2) The list has eliminated the most obsolete buildings to make it more managable. The buildings are sorted using the following criteria. All red and blue attack and defense, plus FP, plus goods all divided by tile including roads. Gives value X. Then we factored in population and happiness by taking the population, dividing it by tile including road then further dividing that number by 1000. There's no perfect way to do this but considering how population and happiness are determining factors when placing...
