Winter Train

The Winter Train is a special residential building given as a reward during the 2019 Winter Event.

The Winter Train provides population, happiness and produces coins in 24 hours. Depending on the buildings level additional resources like supplies, medals, Forge Points and goods are added to the production. The coin production is doubled upon motivation and is affected by the town's happiness and by boosts of certain Great Buildings.

Chain Bonus[]

The production and bonuses of the Winter Train can be increased by attaching additional cars (wagons) to the train:

Dining Car ( 4% attack boost)
Freight Car ( 5)
Sleeping Car ( 2)
Parlor Car ( 5%)

Neither the train nor the cars need to be motivated/polished to get the resources of the cars added to the train.

The amount of cars that can be added to the train is only limited by the players city size and availability of cars. The additional cars have to be correctly aligned and can be attached only to the back of the train.

Beware of train heists!

As the Winter Train does not produce special resources upon motivation, it has a low priority in the motivation order and will only get motivated randomly with the regular buildings after all special buildings that produce forge points, goods, guild power, medals, or blueprints have been motivated. Use a Self-Aid Kit if you want to make sure your Winter Train (including the production of attached cars) is protected from plunderers if you cannot collect on time and you have regular plunderers coming along.

The 'city shield', in the tavern Shop of the friends tavern can also be used to protect from the risk of plunder.

Upgrade[]

The Winter Train can be upgraded by Winter Train Upgrade Kit item. To upgrade the Winter Train, use the Winter Train Upgrade item on the Winter Train that is already situated in your city. Its upgraded version will then be placed directly on the same spot in your city and the production timer will not be reset. Note that the upgraded building will be from your current era, even if the old one was from one of the earlier ages.

When reaching level 9 of the Winter Train the player can choose between three options:

The Charcoal Express ( 5 + 15 + 10%-26% attack boost)
The Evergreen Express ( 8 + 10 + 12% coin boost)
The Sleighride Express ( 4 + 20 + 12% supply boost)
