Tinfoil hat conspiracy

 

Just wanted to break-up the doom and gloom of the GB update and at least mention the colossal shit-show that is the Anniversary Event.

They should just go back to the old system.  It would be easy to do.  Just sub-out the daily prize with store currency.

GB's update may make major changes before going to live server

 

Ok so we like to give the player base a head's up on what is going to happen.  We're just players.  We love and hate this game probably like a lot of you.  We're not on the payroll and have no obligation to sugar coat things in fear of losing a sponsorship.  Always be wary of any source that is.

We don't break embargo and we protect our sources because retaliation is real so there are times where we hold back information that might be good for the player base to have in advance.  I say all that because when talking about the GB update you need to know why we're at the place we are now with GB's.

Yet another small update on the new GB changes

 Not a big update just a FYI.  The folks at Inno were very surprised that people on beta unlocked 400 levels and completely bypassed the new levelling system.  Who could have possibly seen this coming?

They're also taking a look at both the cost to open levels and the cost of FP to level.  We're not done yet.

Results of the GB changes

Edit: For anyone upset that this site was down for a period of time today we apologize.  This post alone has had just under 17k visitors in the first 12 hours and blogger is not set-up for that.  We were also notified that if we want to keep this blog they will start putting ads on it.  Thank you for using this site as one of your resources.  We're not asking anyone to click on an ad when they eventually come.  Just enjoy the site as you were before.  Again sorry for the downtime it should be resolved now. 

So the GB changes have gone live on Beta.  

If you play on the app you will eventually see it but the app is currently broken so go to browser.  On browser you will get a lot of 

Just keep refreshing and you'll get there.

Update to the GB update coming to Beta March 9, 2026

 

If you have not read the original post click this link and read it first.  This post is an update to some of the questions we had and will be a condensed too long didn't read type of explanation of the new GB system.

So off the top this is a huge caveat.  There is some scrambling behind the scenes about what to do with GB's that are on the upgrade list and either unlocked to level 400 or actually upgraded to level 400.  This system was designed to slow GB levelling and offer players long-term goals with steep costs and FP/goods sinks to fix the game economy.  Right now there is a HUGE exploit.  They know about it.  We've talked directly to them and asked specifics about it.  To be honest it's disappointing how discombobulated and poorly planned this roll-out is.  They asked we not publish the exploit when we got the final packet containing all the upgrades to GB's but it's out there so we're going to talk about it.

Update:  As of noon Saturday March 7 there are no changes to the plan.  Get those GB's to lv 400 if they're getting tiers and 200 if they're not.

So for people on live server

Great Buildings change embargo has lifted

 The long wait has been painful but we go the got ahead to publish so here it is. 

We've laid this out as if you were not familiar with the previous changes that were pulled after the fan base revolted so this is geared towards a brand new player with no previous knowledge of what happened.

Their will be Prestige Tiers for GB's

When you level a GB the effect (boost, output whatever) increases until a set cap is reached.  So lv 100 for SASH GB's, lv 180 for Arc etc.  

With the introduction of tiers players can

Anniversary Event 2026 on Beta server March 3-24, 2026

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.  And another post here as it was nearing launch on Beta.  You can see how much it's changed in just a short period of time.

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.

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.

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.

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.
