Sometimes I see a glitch when one of my buildings vanish. What happened?

I finished the Ancient Egypt Settlement and collected my prize, but then it wants me to do it again. I have a clean settlement and have to do it all over again. Is this correct?

I’m thinking getting some sok buildings and get soz lvl 10 ?

What does the hands sign on the top of your screen mean? It's right next to your total amount of forge points.

Or rahter the question IF you need them nowadays.

The events deliver now 2 special buildings. The event building itself and the last years from the daily specials.

The event buildings deliver population, happiness, coins, supplies, FP, goods and attack. And most of the buildings can be individualised to give more FP, goods or attack.

And those event buildings deliver all that without investing a humongous load of FP in the first place.

I'm pretty sure in the earlier days the GB were important. But today with all event buildings? Not so sure anymore.

End of the short version thesis, please debate.

Following some additional info:

I'm in CE and only fight if I have to. ( At least so far, since I start to like fighting with the highly overpowered air defense).

Of course I went down the route of "Great Buildings? F**k Yeah!" And got the prints and the goods for the Arc. The Arc seemed great since I form a little guild with two (real life) friends. And all surplus FP go into the GB of the other two. Therefore in 99% of the time first and second contribution reward stays in the guild. Very little were sniped, but since we don't take part in 1.9 contribution thingies, that's no problem. Actually it helps.

Other great benefit of the arc are the medals, since I don't fight, I'm lacking medals and therefore space.

But the medal benefit will come to an end when all expansions are set.

And now I'm sitting here and spend all my FP in the arc in the hope of getting prints to expand the arc, again in the hope of getting more FP...

Then I did a little math and came to the conlusion, that the Arc till level 80 takes ~125K FP. (Provided my guild mates also get Arcs, we level it equally and take first and second contribution rewards of each level with the according arc bonus. Didn't take in count, that others also invest in the Arcs and that sometimes we get sniped. Would have made it too complicated).

Didn't check it, but I guess 125K FP take me straight to SAAB, maybe to Venus or further .... At least in matters of FP.

Also didn't check all the tech tree, but in SAAB most technologies take ~500 FP. That can be done in two or three days. Even with my current production, which will increase, I guess

So I don't see a use for harvesting 3K FP a day. Just to invest them in GB in hope to get 4K per day? And then?

And for the other resources. My coin and supply stack is only rising. Sitting on ~400M coins and 20M supplies.

My goods come from special buildings ( Basar, Terrace, Arena of Victors,...) and event buildings. With plenty of reno kits to upgrade them, whenever I get to the next era. Also some GB for goods (Lighthouse of Alexandria, Royal Albert Hall, St. Marks and Dresdner Frauenkirche). Mostly in the levels 10-20 and my good stack also only rises. (Ditched good production buildings after Modern Era)

Population? ~40K umemployed.

As said, I don't/didn't like figthing and have no barracks. But now with the air defense I have that and also placed a rouge and the Traz.

So also plenty of troops, since I only do frist difficulty of GEX and don't care for guild vs. guild.

Additional troops come from the GovVilla (Summer Event) and the Bathhouse (egypt settlement).

But still no need for more GB (or FP to get them going).

Yet the space carrier seems tempting to produce the special goods right from the start of AF. Also the diplomatic gifts, since I guess, I go back to negotiating, when I can't use the air defens anymore. But thats another story.

Most of "Great Buildings you have to have" guides in the net are one or two years old. And they list The Habitat or Inno Tower for population.

Can't see a need for that with curently 40K idle.

Sure, all my conclusions come from my point of view from Contemporary Era. And maybe there are massive increases of needed ressources in the coming ages. But I guess there are also more events coming. With buildings to fullfill the need.

With the huge power creep of the GB (and older event buildings), I can't find any reason to further follow my path of maxing my Arc and/or other GB.

Sorry for the long read, and now please debate.

Thanks

If you could only build one.. which would you build?

Can anyone tell me if I move up an Era in the middle of a event - like the Fall event or GE - will the prizes that are tied to an Era - like troops - be awarded from the new Era or stay in the Era where I started the event? Hope I am making sense!

I was told my level 8 statue of honor will always donate goods to the guild in the age it was upgraded to 8 and I think it can be moved to a new age and produce the new age goods for the guild by using a one up or reno. Who is correct?

I've just started a second city on a different world. Is there any way of turning off the annoying guide who is forcing me along a particular path when I would like to do other things? I can appreciate that he would be useful for beginners but surely there is a way for experienced players to turn him off.

How long has FOE been down? Any ideas why?

Can someone please provide me an easier list of what my contributions need to be before I can post my Arc in a 1.9 thread so I know exactly what I need to put before putting it in the thread. That way I can screenshot it and go back and forth and look at it. Levels 1-80 would be nice. 🔥😎

I can't find any of my friends or family that play the game. There names come up as not found and if I search the Guilds they can't be found. What is the point of being able to search for friends if you can't find them? Is there a way to find my friends or their Guilds?

On my “daily challenge” it say’s (complete 1 other quest)? I tried everything that comes to mind and read about unbirthday quest but not sure how to do that. I’m stumped, any ideas?

Dear all,

Please join me in congratulating @Krahfu for joining the ranks of admins. This reflects his dedication and consistent contributing to this wiki.

Congratulations!

I still have my original name. Anyway I can change it? Thank you

Do the potions and tavern attack and defense bonuses work for the map and daily tasks? I don't want to waste them if they are only for town defense.

Is trading 250 Marble plus 25 Forge Points for 500 Coffee a good deal???

Finally its released :)
