You can check how much expansions you can get from tech tree in each era. In modern ones there is only ONE expansion in the tech tree and every new building in the tech tree is bigger and bigger. Diamond expansions and victory expansions are more and more expensive. At the moment I have to pay 400 K medals for victory expansion and 800 diamonds for diamond expansion.
Please, post an example of "later" era that has only ONE expansion in tech tree.

it is still wrong

every few month there are more expansions

I still remember when the 6000 medals expansions was the last

How nice for you. It would have been better if you would have remembered that Victory Expansions come wth new era's and not just every few months.
 

DeletedUser96901

actually they come a few weeks before every new part of an era

and that is every few month :rolleyes:

Indeed! We had five releases in 2017 with OF Pts 1-5 so that's almost one Victory Expansion every other month.

Please, post an example of "later" era that has only ONE expansion in tech tree.

You have to know that Future Era was the first era that was released in two parts. In each part we had only one expansion. Other eras after that one was also released in parts and in each part there was only one expansion. But if you count Oceanic era as one you are right there are several expansions. Btw in continent map there are also just one expansion you can get by conquering a province. In the meantime there are plenty of avatars you can get in tech tree or in a quest or in an event. Just don't know what they are useful for?

Maybe it's me but I feel like breaking my brain out to get the most of a building' set in any other way than the one imagined by the design team because the development team messed up with the bonuses (or an in-between team that takes decisions regarding game mechanics) is just wrong.

Look at Cherry Garden Set, for example. When correctly built, all pieces get beautifully connected like a small park with the Gong in the middle and roads around. Or the Maharaja's Set with the Palace and the Garden in front of it. Then just because "it is possible" you see cities with 2 or 3 Palaces side-by-side connected by the Towers or Ponds.

OF goods needs refined goods which need unrefined ones. No matter your stocks, someday they'll run out and you'll have to build 3 buildings to have one good. Then, tech tree keeps asking goods from AF as well, which means even more buildings PLUS the houses to have workers for all of them.
Your Great Buildings if you have them and been leveling them should provide you with the goods needed for the OF goods buildings, so not sure why you would need 3 buildings to have one good.

Football? Surely if they are playing a game called "football" the players should use their "foot". It seems to me that they are carrying the ball in their hands. The game they are playing should be called "handball'. Much better.

Now if only there *was* a game where the players used their feet to interact with a ball....

Just a matter of time till someone came along with a silly comment like this.

There is and it's called soccer.

Arctic Future, not Future.

Another event with new buildings to build but WHERE?
Delete or store SoK ... Pillar of Heroes is the greatest special building since the advent of FoE.



True, but xivarmy has posted a very good strategic analysis on the ForgeBowl Feedback Forum on Beta for gaining the required six PoH Upgrades without Diamond use.
Not so good ... It's blury and lucklustre ... without any focus.

Given the sheer power and value of the Pillar ... there should be a clear strategy aimed exclusively at getting more ...
with a complete disregard for all the "secondary" prizes (distractions).

It focuses on getting "one" Pillar of Heroes ... when it would be more informative to chart the cheapest way to get 3 or 4,
seeing that most players will be using "free" diamonds and many others will be spending real cash ...
It's worth it (certainly worth skipping a trip to the cinema, pub or your favorite eatery).
Calculating the cost of upgrades, in terms of footballs (diamonds and cash) ... might be more useful.

Everyone should be encouraged to use diamonds on the Pillar.

xivarmy
Some of the strategies to consider using just 3400 free footballs
1) Pure yardage efficiency
Pick Priority : Item, Blueprint, Special Unit, Orange FP, Building, Boost, Special Building, Medal
Expected yards : 180 (3 TDs)
Expected daily specials : 2.7

2) Pure special efficiency
Pick Priority : Blue FP, Unit, Medal, Building, Special Unit, Boost, Blueprint, Orange FP
Expected yards : 125 (2 TDs)
Expected daily specials : 5.3

QFT!
Seriously, how dare Inno give us a totally new sports theme instead of re-hashing yet again, the same sport that places more emphasis on bad play-acting vs. actual scoring!:P


Overall, this event looks like it's going to be a lot more fun than the extremely boring, lackluster & hugely infuriating Winter event. (I hate that ruddy shuffle tile!)
Also nice to see something other than soccer for a sports themed event. :)

For anyone wanting to maximise their PoH's, obvious tactic would be to save-up any & all footballs for the day/s? that will offer the upgrade as the daily special.

Sure ... but which cooler(s) do you choose ... given the opportunity (since 3 of 10 will appear).
What is your Top 10 cooler ranking to win DS ?

InnoGames paid you to post this.
Or, you are severely delusional.
Or, possibly both.
. . . mk

Once its fully upgraded, it is greatest building inno made. 3x3 building giving 3 FP, 5 goods, medals, coins and supplies.

At lv 1 its not so good.

Only when motivated, so that is a premature statement.

That is like saying SoK or Black tower are useless.

Unless if player is guildless/in dead guild, or has awful friends for aiding, pillar will only in those cases be unmotivated. Besides, that would give some use to all of those motivation kits in inventory.

Any reason why we have Forge Bowl icons on our screens 4 days before kickoff? I know a lot of hype surrounds CFL / NFL games but this is just silly.
