I would think it will have a Guild component to it - there hasn't been one for a time. Maybe Guild medals but I have no idea why a guild wants medals.

Umm...The Arc has a guild component to it...the goods it produces, deposited automatically in the treasury. As for why a guild wants medals, medals are what you pay to siege GvG sectors in the all ages map.

Oh, indeed, both Voyager and The Arc gave guild goods but they are now 6 and 7 behind this new one and I have the feeling that Inno want to strengthen the guild interaction

So, for a guess, I'd say it produces/enhances guild medals (not done before, though Gaea was quite recent); provides population (not done since Contemporary); and I wouldn't be surprised if it gave a third bonus too (not seen since Colonial) - maybe troops.

Thing is, if it does three things it probably will not be tops at any of them, so will be slated as being a poor GB even if the combination pays well for those who want that combo.

Fixed that for you.

Atomium is Modern Era, they went 4 ages before introducing a new guild goods GB, so I don't think we're due for a new one yet.

As for the guild medals idea....in a way, the Arc already does that, as it increases medals gained from GB contributions too. I'll place my bet on the 2nd GB of Oceanic Future being something that interacts with aiding.

How about a GB that improves your spin odds in the Seasonal Events?

Or at the very least removes the crap prizes you can get.

[Introducing the Eventomium: This Great Building will reduce the occurrence of normal buildings, motivation kits, coins, supplies and those 8 hour boosts that are next to useless by 15% at level 1. This is a no age Great Building]

 

[DeletedUser111510]

Maybe a ToR style building for the upcoming Daily Challenges thing, reducing the crap and upping the good stuff? Kind of like the Chateau. But my bet would be for coins & aid goods.

All-Ages province (GvG)
You cannot use goods on this map - the siege costs, as well as the costs for placing defending armies, can only be paid with medals.

@Bridgeman55 ... AA the only era you can use bronze warriors! Having waded through 80 spears a few times (an interesting defence as you have to actually stay awake....not as easy as it sounds )

 

[LadyHecate]

I'm still thinking that they'd utilise some of the ideas from the GB contest on the Beta server for the second OF GB.

 

[DeletedUser108047]

@LadyHecate do tell!

 

[LadyHecate]

The following link has the results and a link to each of the entries: https://forum.beta.forgeofempires.com/index.php?threads/design-a-great-building-contest-voting.7449/
Still think I should have won!

 

[vikingraider]

Some good ideas

 

[DeletedUser110179]

Wacken Open Air and Terracotta Army are wayy in the lead ... but Lilypad city would fit in quite nicely with the Oceanic Future theme.

 

[DeletedUser108047]

Yes some very good ideas - thanks for sharing @LadyHecate Not sure which I would have voted for

 

[LadyHecate]

We already know what it's going to look like:

Intriguing

 

[DeletedUser111510]

OK so I won a Lamp Factory in GE, I placed it in my city and still have to wait 15 hours to build it. That doesn't make sense. What did I win, a Lamp Factory or a flat pack DIY Lamp Factory?...lol. At least it didn't cost me any money or supplies.

 

[vikingraider]

Flat pack lightbulbs. I wonder why that's never caught on?

 

[scibuff]

Maybe a GB that gives you "aid all" functionality

In your dreams! You're more likely to get a GB that gives a free expansion every 24 hrs!
