"russkiy materniy" is still better

PS: I wish there would be people speaking elvish in common reality. It's an interesting language.

 

[DeletedUser104719]

There are certainly people who speak it; I would imagine there are groups who speak it among themselves, but I have no specific knowledge of said groups

 

[DeletedUser]

Back in my school years I had a classmate who tried to learn it.

 

[DeletedUser104719]

How'd he do?

 

[DeletedUser]

Not very well, I don't think.

 

[DeletedUser104719]

Ahh well, it's a nice thought

 

[DeletedUser]

I've often thought about creating my own language.

 

[DeletedUser104719]

Given to understand it's a serious undertaking; Tolkien devoted years to developing... well, many languages, but still. He wrote papers and such; worth a look if you're really interested

 

[Prinza the Hunter]

I often talk in my own language. I don't know why everyone else is so lazy not to learn it so that I can communicate with them!

 

[DeletedUser110179]

I do it telepathically ... silence is golden, so shut up and get rich.

Winning post

 

[Prinza the Hunter]

Finally, I have managed to bodge together a plan for my Winter Set buildings that I won on beta.
For a 6x5 shape requiring quite a lot of road connection, I can get 18 goods, 5 FP, medals (quite a lot of), attack boost, coins, supply, happiness.
Even allowing for the road connectiions, that's better than a Terrace Farm (5FP or 20 goods) and arguably better than a host of SoKs, since although they would give more FP and about the same coin, they would 't give the goods etc..

The problem is that they are almost all previous-age, so the goods are old ones and everything but the FP is lower than it would be if only I had known I would have to advance an age to complete the Winter Event. And at NINE buldings, there isn't a hope in hell I will get enough one-up kits. So maybe I am talking myself out of using them after all

Yah, the "if I had known" is a refrain as old as FoE (and life itself) ... as popular as "I need more land".

Being on Beta, you're already wayy ahead of the competition.
It's like starting a 100m race from the 90m mark, eventhough the length of the race is always increasing.

That said, only coins, supplies, medals and happiness are age-specific while Tinkerer's Tent boosts coin production
by a universal percentage (ie 2, 3 or 5%). Goods, fp, attack and defense are really not affected by the age you are in.

Classic ... (Overcome) Fear of Success .

 

[DeletedUser96901]

and only the non-age values are the ones you really need

 

[DeletedUser110179]

Well, let's start with FIFTY time one-hour productions
then go on to New Year's Day, which will FORCE a technology research (or quit the Event early).

Just realised that you can bring Terrace Farm and Cider Mills to bear.

btw:
madame fortunas tent & straw star tent
are "all ages"-buildings

like victory tower and wishing well
so they automatically advance to the next age when you reach it

so you only need 7 kits

 

[DeletedUser108047]

get your own language then you will get your own server

that is the reason not some weird Eurovision

perhaps - I was being facetious about Eurovision (althougth it is weird that Australia participates) but playing from Oz means GvG is extremely difficult because of the fixed reset time. If they can do a server at gmt +7 they can surely do a server at gmt+10

Yet another example of an unlevel playing field in this game... some get DCs, app is not the same as pc etc, some get to play at optimum time others not. If it is an international server then it should be fair or accesible to all...

I ate pancakes today for breakfast.

Goods most certainly are affected by the age you are in. According to many peoples idea of what is fair, until I upgrade my goods producers, they are turning out goods only worth half of what they could be worth.

Percentage boosts and FP are the only things unaffected. Coins, supplies, medals, happiness, goods are all affected .. which is hardly an 'only' when considering what most configurations are going to end up producing.

Oh, so they are! Thank you for pointing that out. Given that none of the buildings have population (the typical determinatin) I don't see why they don't all auto-upgrade/are all-ages. That would make collecting and siting them so much more worthwhile.

Just realised that you can bring Terrace Farm and Cider Mills to bear.

You can use ANY production building. Although Inno's wiki doesn't make it very clear, look at the fan wiki's page on special buildings and there is a column in the listings that says if the special building is a production building.
The general rule (currently applying but not always followed by Inno) is that any building with the six time period menu is a Production Building.
