Its been a month or so and here are the tips and takeaways so far... will add comments as I learn more, other tips/corrections are more than welcome
The biggest tip I can suggest is to pay closer attention to Great Building (GB) donations of Forge Points (FPs)...
Each one has its own rewards and the higher the lvl of GB the higher the reward.
Never finish off a lvl for the GB, this prevents the user from taking a Double Payout when they complete the lvl.
Add as you go, not all at once... this ensures you dont contribute more than is required to secure the place.
Just because you are the first to donate to a GB doesnt mean you will keep that position, your place is tied to the amount of FPs you contribute.
Each position/GB has different payouts... this is important to gauge the competition you will have for that medal.
Payouts are for the first 5 positions only.
Try to resist buying Buildings with diamonds, any buildings, unless you are camping at that age/era, this is because as you progress in the game these buildings will become obsolete with equal, or better, producing buildings... event buildings are the best and can be upgraded to the age/era you are in.
Only use Renovation Kit when you are at the age/era you are camping at... use the One Up ones instead. Renovation Kits can be won as rewards when you complete 7 challenges in the event section and One-Ups can be won in the PvP weekly rewards.
Reserve your purchase of diamonds, if able, until you are offered additional bonuses... these happen often.
When a special event is happening, take advantage and purchase, if able, additional turns with diamonds or whatever currency they are accepting... there are many buildings able to win aside from the showcased Event Building. My experience from the summer event.
Focus on Wishing Wells (WWs) and Never sell Shrink Kits for WWs, WW gives you the chance to get diamonds for the daily production and shrink kits reduce the footprint of the WW. Space is the only finite resource in this game. Diamond Farms are the end goal... as many WWs as possible
Dont hesitate from replacing outdated buildings with better-producing ones... if you are progressing to the next age/era, save your resources to buy those buildings.
Never buy FPs with Diamonds, or use them to rush research... these are calculated based on FPs bought with diamonds.
Try not to rush ages/eras until you have a full pantry of goods, 1000 total is the number to strive for each age/era.
There is no need to build each GB, pick which one based on your long term goal... coins become irrelevant but supplies are always relevant.
Focus on attack/defense (att/def) GBs, these pay off over Time and you use less troops.
Also, try to focus on buildings that offer some additional bonus and att/def ones are the most sought after.
Join a Guild that is larger... the coin you receive from Polishing/Motivating the players are easy money.
Try to Time your Tavern visits/aiding your friend list till after you choose which reward from the daily event challenge.
It resets at 8am Eastern Time. Also, time your collection of coins/supplies/goods/Tavern coins till after you receive the daily challenge.
Try to keep a couple of completed tasks, incase the daily challenge calls for other events be completed.
I know I have missed a bunch of things, hopefully, they will be spoken to in comments, but I am sick of typing haha
