My feedback thus far:
Event Questline;
This one was stupidly easy for anyone who's developed any kind of a semi-decent 'camping' Iron Age and/or at least has a basic EMA or higher city.
Not exactly a terrible thing, but this one was leaning more towards the 'trivial and almost annoying' vs. being any kind of a remote 'fun with some slight challenge' levels of difficulty...
Great things though:
- limited "buy fps" quests
- alternate options for ALL scout/sector/province clearing type quests.
For next time though, perhaps some more quests such as;
- "complete X 8hr/24hr productions" OR "Win X battles in a row without losing in between"
- "Win X battles in a row without losing in between" OR "Negotiate X Guild Expedition encounters without losing in between."
- "produce 5min/15min/1hr productions 15-20+ times"
- "Scout a province" OR "Plunder X buildings of other players."
- "Gain control over a province" OR "Complete 'X' Guild Battle Grounds encounters"
- "Gain X sectors" OR "Finish a 24hr production X times."
etc, etc...
Event Mini Game;
This is perfect as is - NEVER change it!!
Despite what some say, the St. Patty's event mini game was great too! I *
MUCH* prefer actual thinking/strategic games vs. the mind-numbing dullness of just looking up a chart to see what math says are the 3-4 most optimal choices of the 9-12+ various 'chests/animals/players/etc...' to pick every damn time.
Any idiot can look up the FoE wiki page and read a chart. The best events are those that require some level of brain cell exercising to achieve the better results.
Event 'Main" Prize;
Honestly, the Airship sucks hardcore... it's a raging dumpster fire of a "prize" at this point considering we've already had in just the past 6'ish months, the Winter Trains, Olympic Treasury & Abandoned Asylum, plus reappearances of the Fire Pagoda, Tholos, Winter Spire, etc...
AND, we also have the existence of the God-Tier buildings in the Yggy Tree, Shinto Temple & Sentinel Towers, plus the ever-so-slightly nerfed Shrine of Heroes thingy from the GBG's...
No one in their right mind who's been around for those past slew of events will bother wasting space for the pile of crap Airship,
especially with last years stupidly superior World's Fair also showing as a daily prize!! (twice on Beta to boot!)
So please, do better for the next prize and at least try not make it a stupidly inferior version of a smaller, non-yearly event exclusive prize. (*cough*shrineofheroes*cough*)
