my turn again

Why were the Dark Ages called 'the Dark Ages'?

because there were so many (K)nights!

 

[DeletedUser110195]

Hah! Guess I'm too old now, I associate dark ages with Roman legions thanks to Age of Empires and Empire Earth.

 

[DeletedUser9168]

seeing as we can use this thread to post anything - can anyone give me a link to a priority list for Aiding buildings?

 

[DeletedUser110195]

I didn't know such a thing existed...I just go supplies/coins/happiness unless they specify what to polivate, of the age I'm trying to get blueprints for and if not, the best thing they have.

i think it would be this time .... bring it on home .... oh and ESF = Eurovision Song Festival (or Contest) .... and we all know how that ended ...

this is off the Wiki, but i'm sure i've seen something somewhere on here that explained priority in a bit more detail

• How does the aid button work exactly?
  • Buildings like “Shrine of Knowledge” hat trigger an additional effect when motivated/polished (most recent age) are prioritized.
  • If there are no such buildings available or all of them are already polished/motivated, the feature will enhance a random building from the most recent age.

if i like the winning reply on this post ... do i get a consolation prize ..... (rule # on abuse of likes)

Worth trying to butter up Amy Steele a little ............

 

[DeletedUser109966]

So all I have to do is post something?

 

[DeletedUser110195]

Oh, you mean what will the aid button do...that wiki article seemed to cover it nicely, because after special buildings it seems completely random...it's too bad the aid algorithm doesn't emphasize supplies, then coins, then cultural/decorations.

 

[Vesiger]

It does seem to emphasise more recent decorations over large cultural buildings from earlier ages...

last few mins - might as well get in another post here!

 

[DeletedUser]

In before the bell?

 

[Amy Steele]

In before the bell?

Just! First and last - that's quite a feat!

This week's time was:

Spoiler: 18:10

No-one quite managed to post at the exact time, or within 2 minutes either side, though @lady-lexis came soooo close with the very first post in the thread

The prize will therefore roll over to next week's competition, which will start tomorrow, so keep a look out for the new thread!

Good luck everyone!
