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. The too long didn't read is... Unlocking a GB to level 400 before the change works. See top picture. Base (copper) levels have improved and cost more The refinery will be very costly so j...

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. Strategy 1: Event progress on the prize line. Strategy 2: Get four level two Loaf Houses for perpetual ascended goldsmith Strategy 3: avoid burnout, do the quests passively as you collect your city, only use lv1 managers and open all boxes at the competition of each town/banquet to maximize event shop currency. Probably spend it on ascended selection kits or allies fragments ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok so let's exp...

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 unlock a new effect with each new tier. Initially there will be three tiers. The current tier we have now will be copper (old posts on this site listed it as bronze) and then silver and gold tiers. There are two additional tiers set-up but not introduced this year. They can always add more to make the GB's scalable in the future. (More on that later) To unlock the different tiers and levels within those tiers you will need BP's...

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

If you have not read t he 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 noo...

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...

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.

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 pl...

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. Research & Network Coins Earn Research Coins by completing Anniversary tasks.

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...

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. The efficiency number you see if from FoE helper it is not our "value" figure. Some of the buildings are changing during testing so we'll wait until the event is ready to go to beta before updating the master spreadsheet. Side buildings World's fair upgrade So to be clear the base building has 10 levels. Then there's a silver upgrade Then there's a golden upgrade Then there's the platinum upgrade pictured here so this is lv 13 Then there's an ascended upgrade lv 14 and you get the fragments for this upgrade from Palace of Liquid Light Main Event build...
