Please post your entries here for the Great Buildings contest:

Dear Kings and Queens,


On Wednesday we launched the Industrial Age, and while you’re busy working your way through that, the Forge of Empires team is already hard at work preparing for the next era ... and it’s one we want you to get involved in, too!

The next age is already well underway, but a key element is still missing… and that’s where you come in. We’re giving you the chance to make your mark in Forge of Empires by helping us choose a Great Building for the Progressive Era!

We want you to suggest a Great Building for the new Progressive Era. The best suggestions will win prizes of Diamonds and blueprints. And that’s not all. Entries are also submitted into a worldwide contest, where our game design team will choose two structures to be included in the Progressive Era as Great Buildings. The first ones who suggest the winning buildings will win the prestige of seeing their names added to Forge of Empires, in the buildings’ description.

How to take part

It’s really easy to take part in our contest. First, you’ll need a forum account (click here to register). Once you’ve registered, you can post on our forum and enter the contest.

To enter the contest, we want you to think of a building or structure from the Progressive Era that would make a fantastic Great Building for the game.

Once you’re sure of your entry, please post the name of your suggested building in this thread, after checking no-one else has already suggested that building. You can submit suggestions for the GB effects, description text or size, but it will not increase your chances of winning. Providing a name only has the same chances of being chosen.




Contest rules


  • Structure must be real (no fantasy/fiction), and must have been built between 1880 and 1930.
  • Only one entry/suggestion per person.
  • No duplicates. (Please do not repeat previous suggestions). Only the first entry for a suggested structure will be valid.
  • Posts may not be edited afterwards.

Prizes

20 of each Good from player’s current Age

Runners up (10)
10 runners-up in the International (EN) contest will receive:

Good luck everyone, and we hope you enjoy participating!


Sincerely,
The Forge of Empires team

I suggest either the Brandenburg Gate standing in Berlin/Germany or the Cathedral of Cologne/Germany. Ok I suggested this because I am german but why should these Structures not have a Chance? There is a long Story behind these two Buildings. I was nearly suggested our Suspension Railway but with its 13,3 km in Length it is no good.

Woolworth Building-The construction of the Woolworth Building was announced in 1910 by Frank Woolworth, who wanted to create the largest income-producing property in the US. The project grew, and Woolworth finally opted for a 55 story, 792-foot (241 m) high skyscraper, the latest tallest building in the world, at a cost of $13.5 million ($5.1 billion in 2010 terms). The architect Cass Gilbert designs included a very high proportion of usable – and thus rentable – floor space, with a great deal of light and a flexible floor plan that could be subdivided for different tenants. Up-to-date fittings were installed to encourage a high-class of tenants, including the world's fastest elevators, safety features and a swimming pool. Gilbert adopted the Beaux-Arts style, using accented terracotta and glass to emphasis vertical lines, elegantly echoing the structural frame underneath and incorporating 15th and 16th century Flamboyant Gothic-styled features. It was capped by a gilded tower that blended into the sky behind it to produce an illusion of even greater height.The building was floodlit at night, topped with red and white flashing lights. It was famously dubbed the "Cathedral of Commerce", rather to Gilbert's displeasure as he had attempted to avoid copying ecclesiastical architecture.

Empire State Building (Built in 1929)
I was going to choose Buckingham Palace as that was remodelled in 1915 :-)

I hope i am filling out the right bit here. I suggest the Panama Canal as a great building.

Hi, my suggestion is the Flatiron Building in New York, completed in 1902. Thanks

Seeing that this was the beginning of the skyscrapers, I think the Chrysler building is a must!

Btw I have no way of knowing if anyone suggested Eiffel Tower already before me, because user posts seem invisble for now until edited by mods. So just in case someone got there first(such an obvious choice it wouldnt suprise me), I suggest Flatiron Building instead. Thanks
