This event should be familiar with most FoE players so if you want to skip to the prizes. This is the famous "shuffle board" mechanic which makes this more luck than skill but not entirely. We'll discuss strategy as we go. Event currency: Doubloons obtained by completing quests and via incidents in your city. If you are signed up for the newsletter you can get some free event currency there as well. It costs 10 doubloons to reveal a tile. And of course you can buy more with diamonds Anyone who reads this blog should know that we don't advocate spending money on this game. This blog is mostly geared towards free to play players (FTP) but will show the options if you want to pay to win (PTW). This game has a few predatory game mechanics and we will talk about them so you know to avoid it. There are special tiles on the board. Double payout show two shuffle all daily special golden dragon - need three to unlock dragon board On t...

Battleground Trials coming to Beta on July 10, 2025

Embargo until July 7, 2025 People already know how the trials work in GE so this should not be that much of a learning gap for the transition to GbG. How it works is pretty simple. The player choses the GbG trial difficulty level every day. The following is from testing and may change before Beta. You first select a trial level. So when GbG starts you will have to pick a trial level. You can then change that level anytime but the change won't take affect until after server reset. So you cannot for example pick trial 3 then go to trial 1 when your attrition become onerous. Trial level determines the following about the enemy: their flat boost (red and blue attack and defense). Attrition works as it always has and the enemy boost with higher attrition is added to their flat boost value their % boost multiplier their critical hit % on you So to make is simple total enemy fight boost = (attrition * boost multiplier determined by trial le...

Care for Tomorrow Event 2025 coming to Beta June 17, 2025

Embargo until June 16, 2025 There are massive adjustments made during the event on Beta and there are planned changes for live server as well. Please use the live server version of this event page and not this beta version. Note: The final stats of both Eco Hub upgrades may change when it hits Beta. From what we're hearing they may add back the FP and goods that were taken away. We will update when the event comes online. Edit: Goods of the next age were added back into the Eco Nexus and Eco Utopia Edit July 2: FP has been added back and % of FP increase has been adjusted so as of today the Eco Nexus platinum upgrade is indeed better than the Eco Sanctum. Thanks to all the people who sent in tickets to complain about this issue. Now all the people that have received the following message.... Thank you for contacting the Forge of Empires Support team. Except Forge Points production, all other boosts and productions provided by Eco Nexus are higher tha...

New GbG rewards and what you can expect.

This is the gold/platinum item store This is the silver item store So for people playing on live server you should keep in mind two things. On Beta GbG is different. We have double the attrition for double the rewards. So if you do 10k fights on live server you can expect 5k when live server changes over to this new system. Now with the new trial system it has changed again. What we've done is test the hardest (most rewarding) trial to see what we could reasonably expect over a 10 day GbG period. Here are the numbers for a 10k fighter on live server/5k fighter on Beta on the hardest level. Silver 175,556 Gold 7,083 Platinum 2,917 Now keep in mind this can all change and I fully expect this to change but we can only deal with what's here now. And what's here now is pathetic. While it's nice to have the opportunity to get the missing fragments one needs to complete buildings in inventory there is no way to see this as anything other than a diamond nerf....

Sortable spreadsheet with all event buildings including the Winter Event 2024 and Wildlife Event 2025

Link for spreadsheet Changes for this version is the inclusion of Winter Event 2024 and the buildings currently in Beta for the Wildlife Event 2025 We've also added a column for Historic Allies. Right now it's just a "y" for yes it houses a historical ally. It's a placeholder for people to quickly find the buildings that house a historical ally. We're thinking of just averaging out the bonus stats for allies and adding that to the building that stores them as that's the point of those buildings. Right now the value has not been changed to include the ally bonus but future spreadsheets will include that. We've also reduced the "value" of goods to a ratio of 10:1 of goods:FP. The reason for this is the introduction of event buildings that produce 100's of goods so they're no longer scarce even in SAT or SASH ages.

GbG Trials getting diamonds is going to be a challenge

This is the GbG store for platinum coins. As you can see the diamonds can be purchased with platinum coins. Maximum is 1000 diamonds per 70 days? This has to be a mistake as we were told they would refresh more frequently than that. So let us be very clear. In diamond league you have a 48% chance to win loot after a fight. You have a 1% chance that the loot will be 45 diamonds. So let's make the math simple. If you do 200 fights you can expect to win 45 diamonds on average. If you do 1k fights/day you can expect 225 diamonds. In one season with 10k fights it would be reasonable to expect about 2,225 diamonds. Now let's assume the image above is not correct and it will refresh every 14 days instead of 70 days. That's still a hard cap of 1000 diamonds or significantly less than half of one GbG season. So even if they were super generous with platinum coins (yeah right) this can only be seen as a diamond nerf. Th...

Updated master spreadsheet

To go right to the spreadsheet click here We have added the new GbG buildings of the next championship starting on June 26, 2025 on beta. They are highlighted in orange and can just be seen here if you don't want to use the spreadsheet. Or you can click here for the write-up of the new GbG buildings The value table has been adjusted again to reflect the value and scarcity of the reward given. Troops value is now number of troops (of any age) divided by tiles including roads and further divided by 10. There are two reasons for this. The first is we now have a lot of buildings providing troops so we’re simply getting more of them. The second is with the new GbG changes players will have half the fights they had previously thus lowering the demand for troops. Both these factors have devalued the troop reward and that is now reflected in the value tab. Obviously there will be niche cities that value troops differently. So if a player is long-...

QI new age in development

Are you getting bored of QI? Things getting too easy? Are you able to auto-battle map 12 without putting any decorations in your settlement? Well some good and bad news is on the way. There's a new middle-ages QI in development. As you know there are three middle-ages in the game (early, high and late) and this QI may not limit it's assets to just one of those ages. They're playing around with the settlement and nothing is off the table including having euphoria from roads or not needing roads at all. What if non-optimal military buildings give euphoria while optimal buildings cost euphoria? What if the fog of war returns on the map? What if we have multiple branching paths and some are blocked by impediments? Right now we have maximized efficiency for QI. Everyone knows to take out the garrisons, then strongholds, then bosses for both red and blue. Mixing red and blue was always a bad idea as guild members would g...
