Motivate or polish

[Xeon of Camelot]

What determines when you click aid if you motivate or polish a players construction?
Why does my witch doctor never get motivated unless I do it manually? Shall I delete all my 1x1 stuff...

Aid is an action that can be performed from the Social Bar instead of going into the player's city and manually selecting 'Motivate' or 'Polish', the building that will be aided is selected according to the 'aid priority list'.

Buildings providing the most

1. Forge Points
2. Goods
3. Units
4. Medals
5. Guild Power

Upon motivation will be motivated first.

When there is no building that gains any of the above productions upon motivation, the game will select 50/50 whether to motivate or to polish a building. It then randomly selects a building of the respective category, giving buildings of the higher age the priority.

my small lanterns, statues and hammocks always have lots of stars above them, never my coliseum or witch doctor ??...
new fishing hut was immediately motivated.

Delete your colosseum now.

coliseum

FYI, GB's don't get motivated or polished

 

[Epic Builder x1000]

witch doctor

That produces only supplies. As Cuthwolf said, it's a 50/50

my mistake I meant hippodrome, witch doctor also produces coins when motivated.

i have deleted a lot of my 1x1 stuff now more houses are being motivated

Hippodrome does not produce anything special upon motivation, therefore it is low on the list

i have deleted a lot of my 1x1 stuff now more houses are being motivated

That's good to hear

Plunder !!!
Buildings have "aid priority" depending to their production (as for the question)

 

[Xeon of Camelot]

That's a good point! Trees, hedges, Tiki Totems and other decorations, they all detract from the motivation of decent buildings, so if you don't need them anymore, sell them.

Exactly, I recon if i delete (sell) all the little things that AID polishes it will force the AI to motivate for the obvious building reward bonus which can be 100% more.
Care must be taken not to lose the happiness 120% production bonus.

I think the algorythm could do with a bit of improvement. As it stands an increase of 1FP (sok) outweighs e.g. an increase of 10 units (royal bathhouse) or 4 units plus 35 goods (vovernor's villa), that doesn't seem very reasonable.

 

[Epic Builder x1000]

However, when you have a World's Fair Level 10, that gives 10 FP and you probably don't want to miss it
