Changes: Friends Tavern

Friends Tavern

The Friends Tavern is a special building added to the game November 23, 2016. The building is placed in the wilderness outside the city and is unlocked once the technology of Construction is researched. The location of the Friends Tavern can not be changed.

At first it holds place for 3 friends. Every friend that visits generates a set amount of tavern silver which can be used to buy helpful boosts in the tavern shop or to improve the Friends Tavern itself to increase the silver production.

Tavern Silver

Tavern Silver is the currency used in the Friends Tavern. It has no other uses outside the tavern. To gain tavern silver friends of the player must visit the tavern which they can do once in every 24 hours (as with aiding) if there is an open seat available. With every visiting friend the amount of silver on the table increases. Once all the seats are full no other friends are able to make the visit until the tavern owner collects the silver thus emptying the seats. Tavern silver can be collected even when all the seats are not full.

Visiting friends also have a chance of getting a small amount of tavern silver or even 1 forge point every time they sit down at the table, depending on the level of the owners tavern's upgrades. Visiting the taverns of the friends is the second way to gain tavern silver.

Players can only visit taverns of the people in the friends list (not guild members or neighbors) by clicking on the symbol of the chair with an arrow pointing to it in the friends bar or by clicking the tavern building when visiting friend's city.

Table Size Upgrades

Friends Tavern can be upgraded by either increasing the size of the table, or by adding additional chairs to the table (up to a maximum of its current size). Increasing the table size also increases the amount of tavern silver gained per visitor. Upgrading the table does not increase the seat count. Seats must be unlocked separately.

Tavern Shop

There are three types of boosts that can be purchased with the tavern silver to help the city or guild in various ways.

Players can activate the maximum of 2 boosts at the same time. The first boost cost silver like shown in the table below. The Second boost slot costs 50 diamonds to open and then the silver must be paid for the boost as well. Note that paying 50 diamonds does NOT open the second boost slot permanently. Players CAN NOT use two boosts of the same type simultaneously (for example +20% and +40% of coin boosts can not be active at the same time).

Note: the minimum chairs columns in the tables are the minimum number of chairs required in order to purchase the boost, it is not the tavern's table size.
