Event Summer Event 2019

[Cursedveggie]

My target for spending coins on L was to get the final few ship upgrades so I could build a second one.

Finally managed to get the last one this morning and now have a nice shiny pirate ship for my city

The Pirate post does not need a road, but of course if you played FoE you would have know this and wouldent have to just spam the forum all day long.

Do I say it needs a road? Again, how many decorations do you know that need a road?

I am really interested, on what other stuff it is better to spend your doubloons than on pirate guard posts, really trying to find out your way of thinking in this game... so what is best reward by your oppinion in this event and wich rewards are better than pirate guard posts???

You are really interested? Is that why you say I am trolling?

Funny how everybody is always saying that you should never place decorations, cause it will interfere with the motivation of say, your SoK's for instance and now they are salivating over a decoration.

Unfortunately, Shrine of Knowledge is classed as a Residential Building, not a decoration, as you gain population from them and they need to be connected to a road, also can be won in this event as a whole or you can gain fragments from the wheel as a prize. But Cursedveggie comment is quite interesting, how many of you have gone for more Ship Upgrades and have you manage to get the ship you wanted?

you still didnt respond what is best reward in this event and wich rewards are better than pirate posts, about motivation part, that never was problem with me.

Did you actually read what I wrote??????

Since you label me as a troll why should I? What would be the use?

The advice is most relevant to cities on 8 hr or less cycles. Since the alteration of aid priority a while back it’s far more likely your motivated guard post would have been a “nothing to motivate” if it wasn’t there and you’re on 24 hr timers

It all depends on your city set-up...
If you've basically replaced most/all your SoK's with the much better evolving buildings, (ie: Yggy tree, Ships, Pagodas, Winter Spire, Colossus, etc...), then the Pirate Posts shouldn't be much of a polivate hurdle as long as you keep updating your Friends list on a regular basis.
If on the other hand, you're still playing with a field of 50-60+ SoK's, AND, have a bunch of other evolving buildings to boot, then the Pirate Posts are garbage since they'll eat up polivates you need to be going to those other buildings.

Also, if you already have an insane atk% boost such as 500% or higher, adding even another 5 or 6 Pirate Posts to that will produce almost negligible effect...
Better to spend the doubloons on say a second Crow's Nest and/or more Ship upgrades to gain multiple boosts vs. 1 boost you won't even notice.

If anything, it would help balance out the Outposts to just remove the ability to polivate them altogether.
Change them to an 'All Ages' deco instead.

You must be Day Dreaming, that will never happen and don’t ask me why because you already know the answer.

SoK is still seen as one of the most wanted buildings. Even Inno sees it that way. Most players replace them with the much better and bigger buildings, but still have a lot of SoK's. Even with a good guild and good friends so sometimes have to rely on your neighbours. Having much decorations does not help.

It is stupid to just only look at the attack part and then just say it is great because of the number of squares it takes. There are other factors you could consider as well.

I was simply pointing out the obvious, despite that I know full well Inno will NEVER go back and properly balance the Outposts.
(just like how they know full well the hilarious lack of balance in the Viks settlements, but they're never going to look back and properly tweek things to be balanced there...)


@Agent327: The only people who think SoK's are still relevant are those who can't do basic math.
Sure, maybe in what, 2012 - 2016 or so they were amazaballs... at that time, one of the best FP producers you could get, especially in the days before Arcs & Lv.Silly GB's.

But now? Yeah, the only ones who think SoK's are still great and worth going for are;
- Inno, who don't really play their own game remotely close to how most of the general community plays it!
- new players who don't know any better yet.
- people who don't understand how math works.
- lazy players.
Ever since evolving buildings came along, SoK's started becoming obsolete... Over the past year, and especially now with the Settlement prizes, SoK's are a joke!
(ie: SoK = .25 fps/square vs. Lv.10 World's Fair = .416666 fps/square)
It gets even worse when you look at the settlement prizes. (Yggy Tree = .8888888 fps/square + G.Runestone = .50fps/square )

While some of the top end fp producers are difficult to obtain, especially multiples of, (ie: Greater Runestone), a little hard work can achieve great results.

I agree with you, but let's face it. You can only get one Yggy Thing and unless you are willing to pay a lot of money also one Worlds Fair and one Crow's nest. Work on it and you can get more special buildings that produce multiple fp's, but the SoK's remain the next best thing. I am getting rid of them every time I can get another special building, but still I have a considerable number. They will disappear in time, but for now I still have enough that need to be motivated. That makes decorations still a no go.

 

[SilverFoxes]

The thing is though, decorations don't affect the SoK getting motivated.

Can you explain why not? How does the system work?

 

[Zeratul 2.0]

I'm guessing the Wheel has prejudice against frequent spinners.

Every time I checked in the last few days (in the last 2 days, for 3 occasions, so you can say the sampling ratio is low) someone took the Golden reward with one spin (because all the rest rewards are still there untouched).

But every time I spin it, I get a palm tree or such.

I'm guessing they don't log in so often, and therefore when they do log in, the Inno tries to bribe them for them to stay. Or, against limited existing evidence, there is some trick in controlling the wheel after all.

Even though I have got a second fully upgraded ship so far, and multiple Pirate/Royal Selection Kits, I did it (in one instance) by clearing the wheel, in the early days of the event. Recently it is like the wheel is saying to me, "you've got enough, leave the good stuff for others..."

To sum up, I think the Wheel Has a Will!

(Did I win Gold with one spin before? I don't want to verify it for this argument's sake...)

Most probably your Wheel is Alien and does have a Will . . . . . .

an ALIEN WILL WHEEL . . . . . .

guys.. anyone else notice this or its just me having bad luck? despite the numbers on Crow;s Nest 40% chance for goods or FP.
i seem to almost never roll FP. i got 5 lvl 8 Crow Nests in my town.. and every day maybe 1 or 0 roll FP.. for example today i rolled 3 times Medals (15%)
1 time goods (40%) and 1 time FP (40%) i think inno been lying to us about the chances.. i seem to have same issue with HC ,
i would love to hear other people how their nests works and if it match the numbers of chance there. thank you

 

[Cursedveggie]

I only have one in each city (3 in total) but get fp a lot.
