Is there a list anywhere that shows optimal level to take GBs to? multiple Arches, or markets, only to tear them down again later on when something else more space-effective is available. CAPE CANAVERAL Very good/vital 1 FP for every level it goes up. There are two flaws in this analysis. The Statue is interesting both because it is the smallest GB (23, only 6 spaces! The attack boost is the same as that for the Statue of Zeus (+50% when maxed), and stacks. TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are in a 1.9 and have a busy 1.9 thread in your guild then it makes sense to get your Arc raised up to 100+ . (Read the Castel del Monte section for another interesting comparison). Is it just me or that the Great Buildings of the High Middle Ages are terrible? (You may soon run out of expansion spaces, unfortunately). The happiness is almost as much as 8 Churches, while using half the space. Again, it will soon be obsolete. If you dont invest in military buildings early and level them up, you will be a helpless victim in the Progressive era. Although this is somewhat helpful to all players for conquest of map sectors (and hence saves on some goods), it is particularly helpful to players later interested in PvP contests and medals, so has enduring value. Space (medals) have the next palpable value. In part, this is because the initial resource costs of GBs go up significantly by nearly a factor of 3 for each age. Read all you can on GBs. Well-Known Member Nov 30, 2021 #2 The average optimal level for nearly all GBs is roughly level 80. many deviations from that. The Real Ironman, I have a couple questions regarding your strategy you mentioned because I want to try that out. Some can run for years at ten and do wonders. 1. In return, you getnothing. The Castle del Monte is the greatest Great Building in the whole of Forge of Empires, and it is even better than the Alcatraz. Diamonds can buy FPs and goods. COLLISIEUM. (You will want to get the Cathedral up to at least level 6 though, before it will be paying more than the land cost). Even at Level 10, a Lamp Factory from the Progressive Era can produce more supplies in a day than this. It takes a long time to start to worry about GBs over level ten. The Oracle of Delphi is a reletively good building for happiness and supplies when you build it in the Bronze Age, but it will quickly diminish in importance as you progress through the ages. Provides goods of the players age for their Guild Treasury every 24 hours. Hmm those numbers seem low to me to be considered optimum. Thre are GBs that are worthless and other vital. Its massive in fact. Building a town (Part 1): Basics | Forge of Empires Guides - [] down the road will be Great Buildings, of which you can read about some of them here, but lets Stix to Bricks: Personal Threads | Forge of Empires Guides - [] are a lot of different ways to handle having a guild work together to help get new Great Buildings AO would be on my to-do list but space is a bit of an issue - especially for a 7x7 building. 55,65,75,85). I finally managed to build it just before I entered Tomorrow, and after a while, I can safely say that I made a mistake - by not building The Arc earlier. Theres a reason why this GB is the most levelled GB in the game. 2000 coins per day from a GB may feel good in EMA, but is nothing later in the game. Bottom line: strongly recommended, and 50% better than the Colosseum, if you have a choice. Take it to 10 after the other 3 combat buildings. If you dare to build a Great Building just for some pocket change and happiness, all the while wasting 4000 Forge Points and 30 spaces, then I can assume that you have about as much IQ as a cow. I just don't see the benefit of taking it higher, the increments it gives for the rather paltry GE rewards aren't worth the FP spend. Players must use Forge Points to upgrade it. Then pick those that fit your style of play. And the goods, I mean, it's not the worst, but there is a way better alternative I have built already. 50ish post-arc but only for the sake of getting stuff to sell to the antique dealer - FP relics do not scale well with level. While I do recommend building this Great Building, as the 30% attack bonus is just too hard to ignore, I wouldn't put this as my top priority to build if I start another new city on a new server. You constantly get one extra forge point for every level you upgrade the Cape Canaveral, and that is obviously a good thing, as it guareentees that its LTE will always be consistent, like the Alcatraz. Some of these are random numbers without any reasoning. That 4000 Happiness at Level 10 is a complete joke by the Modern Era, when Cultural Buildings provides around 3000 happiness. keith1056 here, I am trying to understand how I strengthen my army, fight without auto, pick which GB to build next and how two get more forge points. For pure psycho fighters who like terrorising their neighbourhoods only. THIS. After I do that I then sell those goods to people dying to get alcatraz. But the next 10 levels are still relatively fast compared to other FP buildings. For the altruistic team players, it also allows getting level 0 GBs of other players into production faster, which will be more of a challenge over time. I am a relatively advanced player there is some variance depending on your playing style, but mathematically, the worst building in the game is clearly the coliseum. Again, youll want to advance to the next age as rapidly as possible, to get the maximum benefit. The Statue gives a unit attack/defence bonus when attacking. You must log in or register to reply here. Chance to kill one enemy unit at the start of battles (for two-wave battles, the chance applies only to the first wave). For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. I'm happy to tell you though, that you can also have GBs in Goods An amount of medals every 24 hours. Your email address will not be published. This means that the value of the output doubles with each age, as the equivalent coin/supply costs would double to produce those goods in a regular building. -ScytheNinjAlin- said: I will end with more than 8.5k at the end and only 6k diamonds spent so far +event pass. The Castel provides both, and only occupying 25 spaces. I hope InnoGames can make the Colosseum give out units instead of medals, or just give them an attack bonus, because until then, literally, and I repeat it: LITERALLY. Temple of Relics: level 3-5 or so early on; just whatever's cheap. GvG Support Pool So like the Colosseum, the space needed to build this GB is well worthwhile. CDM? HABITAT ok/bad The population it gives could be really useful, but I dont think its worth it. If you, like most players, don't care about city defence, then you get the same bonus from two levels on the other three buildings. B Tier are GBs that you can build depending on your opinion, and there are no issues if you build them or not. Probably not). Obviously, Alactraz is a must, as well if youre a fighter.

Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Early on Statue of Zeus to ten for all players. On reviewing their benefits, it is clear that some ARE better than others. St MARKS BASILICA Ok/bad As above, but gold is useless. Relics appear as standardised icons in various places around the GE map. Dont bother. $hit the worst great building. TOWER OF BABEL Bad. DYNAMIC TOWER ok Tough one this one useful when it gets levelled up a higher AND you aid lots of people every day. must have it (for those who fight) Colosseum .. not good. A close second for worthless is Nortre Dame. To level your Great Building, you need to contribute a specific amount of Forge Points to the building. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. The average quantity of GBs per person currently is around 4. How do you advise people of low level to get the blueprints and goods to build the Tower so early in the game? Critical Hit Military Unit Attack and defense bonus for units in attacking army, adds up with every Great Building that has the same bonus. It might look weak, but is by far the cheapest % military boost per FP. Good donation etiquette mandates that the last few forge points must be left for the owner to put. Ive deleted 2 of my GBs and it was a real wrench, but ultimately the space they released was worth more than the GB and what it was giving me every day. Is there a list of what BP can drop from motivating each type of building within the game? Much depends on what you like to do. Research-wise, you simply end up being held up by unlock costs of technologies. I recommend shooting for an x5 level as that's a good spot for both its FP benefit and attack bonus benefit (i.e. I think I disagree with just about every ranking here. Seed Vault Helping Hands Chance. Is there a list anywhere that shows the rewards for the GBs at each level, or at least shows the optimal level for each GB? What do you intend t9 focus on playstyle wise? The next level to stop at is on the wiki but 58 is good. This makes up 1/5th of my entire attack bonus, which is quite a decent chunk. Cathedral of Aachen: Very good Free choice. St. Mark's Basilica (15.0%, AA: 75.0%), 14. Subtracting the Statues space (for same benefits), it seems that 19 squares of the Castel are used for the forge point production, which means that the Hagia is producing 6400 happiness from 23 squares (vs only 3900 happiness for the Notre Dames 24 squares). Almost all metal generators are a waste of space. Tell me what GB can touch that. 4. This would really be a valuable reference item. At Level 1, you can stuff 4 Chalets from the same age and it will provide 38 more population than the Tower of Babel. It's a gigantic piece of garbage on Forge of Empires. (I have often found a need to build several of the latest age happy buildings, e.g. I passed on the opportunity to add GBs of any kind up until the PE. I suspect that the Statue cant really achieve that real value level, so its mostly a decorative / vanity addition to your city, and helpful to those who really enjoy the PvP battles, or want to use those battles to improve their overall game score. Forge of Empires Alcatraz. (Its also more happiness than four premium Printers, for the same space, i.e. I think most people would rather spend around 500,000 supplies than over 2500 Forge Points for happiness. The added perk is that this will also open up free rewards spots for your guildmates. NEVER. Interestingly, the Goods output of St Marks is only somewhat (15%?) Diplomatic Gifts Also, the goods required to build it are mostly useless to me at this stage.

Many players do not want to fight, yet they miss a good part of the game and leaves them vulnerable. Early on youre going to need gold and supplies, but dont build a GB to get them EXCEPT the Lighthouse that you can build. No high level player has it. Haghia sophia . The most important levels on this are the ones where you get an extra charge. It may not display this or other websites correctly. 1800 diamonds or so). Leave alone for now. The only high level players that have them are ones that are sentimental and like the look of it in their city. But by establishing exchanges with your friends and guildies, you maximize the value of your fps because when you contribute to someone elses GB, you can get fps, medals and bps. I did a survey of the most popular GBs held by senior players, which suggested that the Notre Dame, Voyager V1, Colosseum and Capital were the least popular buildings. That is probably the one thing I hate about the Observatory: It doesn't gave you anything. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. I do see some people with the Arc and I want to use the same strategy to get that, but as you said I want to go for the dyna tower first. Youll still want to have some goods production buildings, but the Lighthouse definitely makes life easier. so in four days I produce enough goods to build an alcatraz and Im only in the LMA. Rain Forest Project (3.25%, AA: 16.3%), Saint Basil's Cathedral (Late Middle Ages). The Goods output is primarily of interest to more peaceful players, and people wishing to buy provinces, rather than those trying to use military for everything. My thoughts and suggestions as well. Zeus is amazing for GE or PVP. That's A LOT, to say the least. Allows the possibility of finding a Mysterious Shard once every 4 hours in the Cultural Settlements.
