Finally, after couple months of a gameplay, I found a precise, reasoned answer to the question when to age up. Not a vague "Well, when you have accumulated 1k goods/built up your GBs at level 10th/you do not have free space anymore...etc" - but prooved instructions, in 1 go explaining GE, events and BG - thank you so much!
Great Stuff! well done bud! Another thing I add to levelling up, is to wait till when the neighbors' change on the second week on a Monday, so you have two weeks of being an era ahead of them. Just something I do!
Few people realize this, but special event upgrade kits count as one-up or renovation kits, if you didn't know. I purposely left my Gov Villa at level 8 until I went to LMA so it saved me a reno/one up kit.
Hi Liliana, they are all great advice. Nothing to say about them. Now here is an advice from someone who is in futur era: champions and your heavy PME units are both exactly as good. So don't waste your FP and goods in rushing that tech, just put a champion refuge and let your traz do the all job for you :) Also in CE, champions are better than heavy CE units. So don't spend your FP in rushing that tech either.
This was super helpful, I'm a new player, and I leveled up right in the middle of an event, so I had to spend half of it getting the forge points to research military buildings to finish a quest.... worst mistake ever
Foe is a very complex and strategic game if youre not prepared to take on. Many ive met always rush the tech tree to surpass ages. And those who do, didnt have the resources to prepare for the next age...and face tougher units that are one age above thiers. Especially when activate military tactics. All in all foe is a great social platform😃
This is exactly spot on! I share this advice to guildmates often and ask players to slow down. However, I worry some are turning into campers, like me. Oops lol!
Some ideas: - Before aging up: Fill the FP counter in all technologies of the next age - Get enough goods to last a few days in the new age and for all technologies in the next age - Progress the world map a bit ahead of your age until it stops being easy, mainly to be able to get the expansions early - Wait for thursday morning until guild battlegrounds start. - Then unlock everything and try to get to the best unit of the age. - I personally wouldnt use up much of the saved up forge points, once you have 200+ fp you should get enough fp to set up your age until the next battlegrounds start. You are like 800-1000% prepared, 100% might be enough though :D
Great advice and another great strategy! I enjoy hearing what other players do to prepare! 🤩 I still will wait till the 2nd week of GBG on the Tuesday GE opens as I want to be able to cycle my CF to gain a ton of goods before they will be needed for the next GE and GBG season. 🤭 I am definitely over prepared but that's me lol 🥳
SeverHappiness if you work on buildings with attack bonuses you can go fairly far beyond your age. I'm in LMA, one of 3 cities, and progressing through colonial fairly easily.
I enjoyed the video and there is some great information and advice in regards to hoarding resources before jumping. The advice given however is not for players who get advanced age military units in every age. It is always better when camping to be using military units from at least one age up which requires only researching techs that are required in quests, saving a lot of research AND advancing the map.
@@paulvoas3328 you need to progress into the next era on the Continent Map in order to get military units from the era above yours, and yet you continue to stay in your current era in regards to your Research Tree.
Liliana the Magnificent i have 2 colonial units ( I’m in LMA). My map is industrial. Can I get industrial troops too by going further on the map....without screwing up my recurring quests.
I'm totally aging up tomorrow right at the beginning of the event and no one can stop me! For real though, it's a bad idea unless you can work through the tech tree immediately. I don't age up unless I have the FPs to get through the whole thing even if I'm not doing it during an event. I also have a ton of goods from the next age because of the Truce Tower and trading down SAAB and SAV goods I get from aiding guildies.
I haven't experienced what you're saying about the map. I've been in Iron age for literally 2 years and I'm in industrial age in my continent map. My quests have never changed, recurring or otherwise. The only time they have changed was about a month ago when I finally researched military tactics and unlocked pvp/ gbg (yes, I have played for 2 years without that unlocked). To me, that suggests the quests are tied to the research tree and not the map.
I agree, they are semi tied to both. There are certain bonus land areas in the continent map the cause bonus quests to appear. However, I have also noticed that if you jump eras on the research tree and your continent map is still linked to the previous era, your questline also changes.
a couple questions from the 8th minute in the video. Why would a quest ask for production of previous age goods production? I haven't encountered this before unless it is the immediately previous age to what I am in. Also, can you elaborate on the need for previous age champions for GVG? I read the FOE Fandom entry for Champions retreat which mentioned this but I didn't get the context there either. Thanks.
OMG, that's my bad, I meant previous era productions from supply buildings not goods buildings.🤦♀️ Great catch!! Yes, I can explain that GvG rationale too! I have a video coming someday for in-depth GvG lol. So the GvG map is based upon eras. You can play in any era as long as you have troops from that era to lay siege and fight with. Let's say I am on the Modern era map, I can only use Modern troops. Champion Retreats are great because they don't take up a lot of space, population, or resources. Plant one in your city and let your Traz pump out some troops and now suddenly you can play on any map you have troops for. I hope that makes sense.
Great video! I'm in Colonial and plan to be here a while. I have very few Bronze and Iron Age goods in my coffers. Do I need any? Should I be trading for them or focusing on trading for previous (HMA), current, and next Era goods?
You will need some bronze and iron but not many, I would trade some down for them but your main focus is on building your current era goods. Don't focus on next era goods till you start preparing to age up. If you do a lot of negotiations then you will need previous era goods too. 🎉 Hope that helps!
Wish I knew about your videos or any of the others before I started playing. I will be stuck pretty much where I am now for a long time. At least from what I have been told by others. I've been playing about 2.5 years. I'm currently stuck in the Postmodern Era. All the tech is completed and I can age up. So many things I never knew, like I never knew you could get and build great buildings well beyond your current age, so I kept aging as I went. Yes I got stronger troops and more higher level goods for opening the tech tree and GB's. I've advanced too far now, and my armies are too weak to open any more of the world map. My story line is stuck until I can move forward / age more. For my GB I have the following ARC = 14 TRAZ = 11 CDM = 16 COA = 16 LOA = 12 Zeus = 18 GALTA = 8 CHAT F = 6 OBS = 4 ST. MARK = 11 TOR = 10 I generate about 90=120 FP a day. What should I focus on? ARC to get more FP TRAZ for more troops for doing GE / GBG ( I can get thru GE3, GE4 is too tough at this point) or your 3 key building (Zeus/CoA,CDM) for more ATT power
The TF is getting an upgrade along with the other GE exclusinve buildings. The level 2 TF gives 12 FP, according to the fandom wiki, but I haven't been able to find any official confirmation on it.
I notice you have a The Lord's Manor, any reason why? it gives 1 fp per 8 squares so i thought it was bad... Are these type of buildings actually good if you have nothing better to put in the space?
Lol let's go with option 2 because I didn't even realize till right now that it gave me only 2 fps per 8 squares...I'll be tearing that down now once I have something better. 😁 It's equivalent to two Shrines of Knowledge so I'll keep it for now.
so turns out i really screwed myself over by having low supply production while parking in hma. i quickly ran out of supplies and now trying my best to produce as much as i can. 40k supplies 3,4m coins. nice balance there eh
Terrace Farms are now superseded by the Level 8 Terracotta Vineyard plus a Lavender Field (both will give 12 fps (24 with a BG successful hit) but you get the added bonuses from the TV). Tribal Squares are now outdated. If you've got a sufficient stock of goods in the 3 previous ages before you jump, you won't ned them. Plus there's Sleigh Builders, the Star Gazer, Wishing Wells, countless event buildings, the LoA - all provide goods. Plus of course level your CF and do RQs Personally, I like to jump up when I'm completely fed up looking at the same town hall (lol) provided I've got sufficient goods and a stack of fps for the tech tree. There's no hard and fast rules. Even if you make a mistake you can always play catch up. GE will give you troops. Your buildings will provide goods. Traz will give you rogues, or another form of military unit if you need some whilst waiting for GE.
Just curious.. Why not also use GE as a measure for when to age up. In other words.. When you have enough attack bonus to fight all the way thru GE then that should also be a consideration for moving up.
Never thought about that lol. It's having the goods stored up that drives the decision for me. I can fight 60/64 with auto-battle but the last 4 I don't have the patience to manual battle so I negotiate lol 🤣
I'm almost at late middle ages, I've been trying to go through the eras as quickly as possible mainly because other players keep griefing my goods buildings and now I need stronger troops to keep those trolls at bay LOL The royal bathhouse I just got from my first Ancient Egypt playthrough and it's well worth it! One random unit, (When motivated) 2 FP and 9,360 coins at level 1.
The easiest way to not get raided is to just collect on time. However if you can not do that here is one advice for you: Level your great buildings. Neighbours usually only raid the end of the list, as they usually have the worst defense. Get yourself for example around 3 million might in colonial age and you practically wont get attacked.
@@hughmungus6964 I knew of the collecting part, I can't always be there but I try my best. I never knew about raising my score to be a real strategy. Thank you that was really insightful. And like I said, a stronger army which can be required to age up will help your chances of defending your city and therefore not getting raided.
@@Joejoesgotflow Thats not how it works. Your neighbours are determined by your age. Meaning the more you age up, the more you get raided as you get more and more to the end of the neighbours list
@@Joejoesgotflow Well than raiding would be useless, as you could only get low era goods. It also would make getting started a lot harder. Either way thats the way it is, so I would recommend getting your great buildings up asap
Disadvantage is if you do it without being prepared, don't have the fps, goods, and access to military on the tech tree quickly to get you going in the new era. If you feel ready and haven't rushed to PE then there are no disadvantages. ❤️
seems to be to have success or decent battle fun you have to sit still in an era for months on end just producing goods , building up GBs and supplies.
It is definitely a marathon and not a sprint kinda game. It is good to stay in an era a few months before jumping, in my opinion but the beauty of the game is you can play however you like. Most players are long-term players but then you build up friendships along the way and that's the best part of the game in my opinion. 🤩
😄 haha great reply. Your videos were recommended by a fellow guild member in our chat, we love our Dutch friend over at foehints but his advice isn't the best for more driven ambitious players. You cover a lot, it's great 🙂
I credit it primarily to my Chateau, I love that GB, I don't need production buildings because of it. I really do need to make my goods video... This week!! I'm determined, no distractions!!
What you've said is totally fine & i agree with it but as a new player like me in the IA, & having a good stock of FPs & some goods, i'm planning to jump directly to HMA skipping EMA, i got some EMA goods from trading btw ... was planning to level up next Tuesday 5th of May, sitting more 2 weeks in IA i feel like wasting time, also looking to get event buildings & rewards for HMA instead of IA ... so what do u think
I wouldn't jump on May 5th, tomorrow, as that is the first day of the event. I would at least wait until the Tuesday, next week. I will remain in IA for quite some time in my secondary world as I am still gain goods. I have been using the 1.9 thread in order to gain medals for expansions and am working on my Arc. I will always fall back on the saying that the game is a marathon and not a sprint. Good luck!
@@LilianatheMagnificent Yea, ofcourse i agree with u its marathon not a sprint, i was just thinking about getting the evebt buildings of HMA would be more rewardable than getting IA & then when i advance i have lower Age buildings, am not trying to rush i was planning to do it soon ... All am thinking about now the event buildings so thats why am confused
@@mohammedabdel-baki7253 No worries there 🤩 Make the jump mid-event as you will still get event building in your current era. When you use an upgrade kit, it jumps the building to your current era, even if the initial level 1 building is from your past era. It acts like a free Reno kit. 🤩
I'm in Contemporary era. Few people told me that I should remain in it as much as possible. I was thinking of upgrading my Arc to lv 80 and then move on. Currently it's on lv 36. And as for the Continent Map, I'm on the Future continent, having 9 out of 12 provinces conquered. I probably would have gotten all of them by now, but I'm just too lazy to trade goods that I need. 😆😆😆 Do you have any videos on how to maximize your space and basically how to keep the city in order, cause mine is just cluttered with crap.
I am intending on making a video about reorganizing my city! Because it desperately needs it but in general try to match similar sized buildings together in lines and minimize the amount of roads that you use so each building only needs one touching. Big GBs on the outskirts of your city too.
@@LilianatheMagnificent my problem is that I don't have more of one thing. Let's say one terrace farm. Maybe two sleigh builders. I have three tiger dens. I have many things, one or two. I have clear the city and remove some, but I don't know what. Thanks anyway.
Hi Lil, useful video, thanks. I'm in HMA currently, thinking to age up to LMA . I have 500 of all Bronze Age goods, 1k of all Iron Age goods, 5-600 of EMA goods (working on topping these up) and 1k of all HMA goods. I have a lvl 10 Zeus, a 7 CoA and a 7 CdM and a level 6 Arc (newly acquired). My plan is to get all these GBs to 10 before I level up, so I'm thinking early in the New Year. Does that sound like a good strategy to move to LMA to you? Or should I wait a bit more first?
Would you rather have a longer time to save up troops and goods in a full GBG season (short GE season), or have a full GE season and half a GBG season?
@@LilianatheMagnificent looks like our guild is going to get promoted out of GBG gold league this season so might be better to age later if we're facing tougher opposition
Then, your Tuesday dates are the 12th and 26th, hmm 🤔 I wonder if I should be making quickie videos each month, sharing the jump dates. Do you think others might find it helpful?
Hello! So, I’m in EMA, and would like to move to the next level soon - the Football event ends in 10 days...when would u suggest the best timing for leveling?
REALLLY THINK about WHY are you waiting to level. If you have your higher buildings from trading at a decent level. What is making you wait. If you have the 3 main fighting buildings.(60-80) Truce. Traz. H castle (for supplies) go for it. Of course arc. Use Truce to get higher goods. Trade down doubling each time. Even if you don't have truce. If you have around 4 buildings that give a decent amount of goods. Sleigh builders are nice. Terra farm gives variety but large. Up those buildings to the level with you. (ex 25+ goods) They build up fast. As you prepare you can keep some buildings a little below you. They still want you to have 3 level goods below your in. But again. Can do continued trading down. Stage of ages is great. Star gazer too if you have it. Some talk about fighting is an issue. If you have Traz switch out a couple troop buildings that you like. Or even 1. You get troops from your new era. Which is fighting troops from the era you are in. So your fighting the same. But if you have your 3 fighting buildings high. You have the advantage from the beginning. I know the NORM is never level fast. But yet again. Why not. I have 2 cities. I stayed at progressive to prepare myself to level fast. Using Truce for goods. Build up some FP.. Went up to Future in between events. Then used my renovation to move my main buildings up to that level. Stayed there till I get the map up to that era. You build up things as you do the map. Artic up you have to do mining or shipping so it slows you down anyway. But same logic. Why stay to long in any era if you can prepare yourself .With how the game is making it hard to get a finished event building by the end of the event anymore. Diamonds are harder to get from wells. Everything is fragments. focus on leveling. Use the timing tips she gives. But really think what is the point of waiting.
Hi Lil, thanks for the great video again! I can't wait for your advice on GB strategies. I am currently working on my CDM (after Zeus and Aachen) to have a decent 100% or so attack bonus, and at the same time slowly leveling my Arc, now on level 6. Should I go for CF which I really want, or focusing on the Arc? Also leveling Arc up to 80 sounds like the most boring thing, takes so much time! Before spending hundreds of fp on researching the next era (I'm in HMA) I really don't know which path to take.
I have a GB strategy video in the hopper for another week! 🤩 If you have space, get a CF planted but still focus on your Arc. I know it is boring but it's essential. Do you have access to a 1.9 thread to help with leveling?
@@LilianatheMagnificent Yes, we have a stronger guild helping with a 1.9 thread, but in my guild only 1 of 15 players have a level 80 arc and I don't see others working on it although they are playing for more than a year. Anyway at which level should I go in a 1.9 thread? I don't have a huge stock of fp to immediately put in my share. Should I use up what I already have in my inventory or use the daily collection?
@@almasianita87 I use my daily collection to slowly prep my buildings, I use the 1.9 thread for every GB at every level! 🥳 Save your inventory for taking 5th spots on others GBs in the 1.9 thread. 🤩
Advising players to move up an era during the second week of GBG is bad advice imho. GE starts on a Tuesday BUT, you have 6 days to complete it. Moving up an era on a Thursday, after GBG starts, is better as you enjoy an entire season facing lower era units AND your current GE will be much easier. You then have upto 10 days to gather goods & units before the next GE ends, which will be at your new era, which is plenty of time to get that done. You're right about not moving up at the start of an event, although my advice would be to wait until the event is finished before moving up an era, just don't build and/or upgrade your new event building(s) until after you have moved up. That way, when you do upgrade it, it will automatically upgrade to your new era, this will save you having to use a One-up/Reno kit on it.
Either option works and it is definitely up to the player! I was actually going to make a follow up video to share that the 1st Thursday of GBG is also a great time to age up (I hadn't even thought about it until a player/subscriber had mentioned it and I was like hey, that works too lol). I personally drove myself crazy enough with 6 days of GBG in the old era but then again my CF and Traz are very high and can support pumping out plenty of goods and units in 6 days time. 🤩 I also agree about the aging up after events. I like doing the tail end of the event because then you have a chance of collecting units, goods, and buildings from the new era. It's like a little jump start! 🤩
I’d love to see that video too. I’m very new and your videos are helping me a lot. The good cycling? Recurring quests cycling for goods? I’m really confused by. That StarGazer sounds amazing. I’m in Iron Age hanging out with 50 goods total.
@@russemerson1358 I need to get that video created! This weekend will be a video weekend. I am glad my videos have been helpful and I hope they continue to be. :-) I will cover cycling some more for sure! Don't worry, my secondary city is a work in progress when it comes to goods as well!
You must have a pretty good guild to get all those advance great buildings? And what everosaid here - wow, I was going to age up when I got 2000 of each good. My Chateau is only10 and working on that now. ARC IS 72.
I may be bias but I love love love my guild! We have such a diverse and supportive group of players. But most importantly, we have fun together and our threads are always chatty, that's what I love! Way to go on your Arc! It is so so close to 80 and then yes focus on CF right after, that's what I did!
@@LilianatheMagnificent you are awesome. I watched another one of your videos after leaving this comment where you explained. Question, do you share your guild with the public? I am looking for a good guild who does trading and help levelling with one another, and also is active in GE.
@@amunra_ absolutely, if you are in B world on the US server, PM me, we have a mother guild and a sister guild for tinier players 🤩 we help players grow in both!
Thank you for this video. was wondering if i should age up now since ive been sitting in HMA for months now lol. one thing i dont see me beeing able to have is alot of fp packages and a really big stock of goods as i 1. dont get alot of packages since i dont do swap threads and my arc is lvl 3 lol. 2. i use up goods every week with ge and gbg as i only really have millitary great buildings yet. but i guess ima have to deal with that in early ages
Yeowza! Over 1,200 GBG fights? My guild on Birka just ran all over the competition and made it into the top 10 guilds today. But our biggest fighter only won about 100 or so fights total. And everything in your era's so big. TOR looks like a baby compared to its surroundings and it'll easily be the largest structure in my city once I place it. Anyhoo. Thanks for the vid. I was fortunate on the timing of this since I was getting the itch to move into EMA but didn't know when. Now I have a date and some goods goals to push for in the meantime. I have one question. Between my guild, friends and neighborhood, there's no stone from BA being traded right now. Is there a way of getting it w/o going an inefficient route like producing non-boosted goods myself or using that greedy 10:1 merchant?
Siege camps make all the difference in GBG! We are not even top 10 in Brisgard as there are other guilds that are older than us with some really massive players! Yes lol those GBs in higher era are definitely huge, takes the reconstruction button to move everything. I spent hours doing that this week lol. I am so so glad that the video was helpful and out at a good time! 🤩 I would send a message out to your friends and hoodies asking if anyone is boosted in Stone and if they would be willing to make a trade. Someone has to be boosted! Otherwise, if you play on computer, you can post a need in global chat and there are goods traders!
@@LilianatheMagnificent They are somewhat active the people in it are nice but most of the GBs are too high of a level and so i never have enough forge points to get blueprints
First, message out all members of your guild and find out if anyone can help you with goods, if it's a no there then message out everyone in your friend's list and ask if anyone can help you or provide you the name of someone that can help you, if it's a no there then do the same in your hood. Even if no one in your immediate guild, friends, or hood can get you the goods someone will come from a guild that has a member that can help you. Worst case scenario, log onto your computer and post in global chat that you need Arc goods if anyone can help. You will have to send a friend request to whoever is your goods supplier. Good luck! :-)
Depends on how old the server is. Easiest way is the guild as LIlana already said, otherwise a good alternative is just looking through the top 100 players. Just message some of them and ask if they would be willing to trade. Most likely one of them will either trade themselfs or will know someone who is trading.
This came up as the 1st vider in my feed! And I was just wondering when you'll move up to the frigid Arctic Future? I am going to have my AO at 85 in 2 days! I'm so excited; But I also wanted to mention as you know how having you CF up as soon aa ARC 80 and possible? Well In my second city that's an active city I camped in CE for 6 months but I had to move up to Tomorrow because I needed the diamonds to get a ferris wheel to full level 10! But in that world wow! It's so great as With the CF at 70; I get so many coins and supplies! But it's like in my main city where I'm staying in Mars for well Idk but it's probably my final era! Because the recurring quests and CF don't work like they used to! Ever since I got to Virtual and then Mars it's like the large coin reward doesn't fulfill fnord! And once you get to AF you get a second supplies recurring! It's less supplies than Spink but in VF and Mars You don't get enough supplies on the large reward to fulfill Supplies! And also I asked around and if I were to move up I'd be in top hoods which hood snipe profit is impossible without an ARC 150! And then it's such small profit! OF was the last hood group that was crazy high on the profits but I make do with Mars I just don't see why that anyone would want to move up as profits go down and ugh SAAB is the worst space age! But I love having the Egyptian Bathhouse and governors villas because they make moving into new eras so much easier! But in the eras below AF and OF you can up everything but once to AF and OF you wanna have a balance since you're going to need goods for the Arctic Harbour ship and then you need to keep loads of stuff in AF while in OF because with stuff like HC/SC you'll get lots of OF goods but you need a source of goods for Arctic Harbour! But I hope all well! Oh the summer event this year is going to have a HUGE base building that's a chain building! The pirate hideout has 9 levels and is 5x6! It looks neat but it will have 3 attachments same size as the Vineyard attachments 5x2! The boats, piers, and sharks!
ROFL ummmm that's a very difficult question... Maybe in two years 🤣🤣🤣 Congrats on your AO! Beast mode! I have my CF at 71 I think 🤔. I have been working on my goods buildings for a while now to help stock guild treasury in the lower eras. Lol I probably need to move up to TE but I'm a slow poke bahaha. Omg I am sooooo excited about the Summer Event, I super enjoy the theme! Was worried they replaced it for the Wildlife Event so a relief to hear you talk about it!
Now I am in LMA and the server started in November 2019 I started a month later... many players are in Ocean future... why? Also I was able to fight across all maps to the era before modern age... in LMA ... Also do this calendar for every month please, just calendar... day two before months end
Those players are doing one of two things, either spending massive amounts of diamonds in order to plow through everything successfully or they are floundering through eras and don't know to take their time and save resources patiently. I am banking on the former. 😏 🤩🤩 Fantastic idea, thank you! I will make that video each month. It will be a quick one for me (which we all know I struggle with not being a chatter box ROFL) and I love visuals!! They are great!
Good video. but. With Ge, keep in mind that your rewards will be of the previous era as well. not good, but kind of depends on your attack boost. With GBG, this is fine, since you can't get previous era goods that are now totally useless. Also, in lower ages, you want to consider neighborhoods as well. you want to be above your neighborhood until LMA or later. That helps, but should not push you into the next era. the new neighborhood starts with Monday every two weeks. not sure how that lines up with GBG though. Finally, If you are in a good guild, you will probably be able to get previous era goods. Also, do you have a problem with trading with your guild? I have a trading loop with two other people that provides me with all the current and previous era goods I need. Again, great video, but I felt the need to put in other things that I consider.
These are absolutely great suggestions!! I have heard from others that being near the top of your hood is also a key indication. Hood changes are tricky, most often it is every two weeks but the timing gets impacted with events, especially those where you're competing against your hood (e.g. Pirate/Summer Event). I find I like getting "previous era goods" in GE because I still do negotiations because of my Space Carrier and also during races in GBG. As per the trading, we have a very active goods trade thread in guild but it gets tricky when some of our players are heavy negotiators in GBG because then they are using a ton of their current era goods and can't pick up other's previous era goods needs if they are an era below. If that made any sense lol. 😅 P. S. I'm sorry I missed this comment!
@@LilianatheMagnificent My guild is full of strong fighters, and most people have l80 arcs, so treasury is not a big issue. Whenever I post a trade, it gets picked up within 10~ minutes. I am in CA, right now, and I can typically fight 600~ encounters in GBG every season, so goods aren't exactly an issue to me. I personally like being near the top of my hood, since that seems to repel attackers more than anything else I do. When I moved EMA to LMA, I kinda skipped HMA, so I was 2 ages ahead of my hood, with some CA troops as well, so I could fight down 3 ages. It was great. I killed GE that week, and did much more GBG than usual, but I also plundered so many terrace farms, and only got attacked back a couple of times. What I was saying about previous age goods is that after that week, they are 2 ages old, and totally useless now. Like you said, if that made any sense. . .
Note that when you renovate Terrace Farms their population increases significantly, and in middle eras this can throw you out of a "happy" populace. So for example if you are using them primarily for FPs don't renovate them!
you Should AGE up & ADD a Champions Retreat When it Comes Time to Collect From your Alcatraz' but Thats After you age UP your Champions Retreat 1ST to Collect your Aged UP Champions for Defending Units That is...
I get some in guild expedition via completing 64/64 encounters and having a Temple of Relics to occasionally get a relic with a Reno kit. I occasionally get one from the daily chests. If I ever see one in the daily options in the antiques dealer I pick one up. BUT when they come around as a daily special during events, that's when I stock up like crazy! 🤩
Lil, I got lost when you said wait til the second week of gbg. Both Ge and gbg ended for me today. No events running. Why do I have to wait for week 2 of gbg? Run that by me again, if you have time. It seems I’d be missing contributing for the first week, but I’m sure I’m not getting the big picture. So many considerations! I’m going from LMA to colonial if that matters and already have about 1700 of each. My stock of LMA is giant...over 40k each. I have plenty of one ups but not completely clear how many I’ll use. Unfortunately I don’t have a stargazer and my cf is good but not at your level. Neither is my Traz. Seems like I will take more time to get good troop levels as a result. The amount dropped in Ge is unpredictable and not sufficient for my bloody battles. I mostly use champions and rogues. Do I really need multi era champs? Are these 800 LMA champs going to become useless fighting colonial troops? I use artillery a lot, so will need to unlock them. I’ve been cycling too for ages but think I lose recurring quests once I start the quests related to moving thru colonial. Abort side quests but do story quests? Can I get them back later? What about bonus quests? I’m so confused!
Oh thank god, you saw this. Tomorrow is the first day of gbg and I’m very tempted to age up right after it starts. I’ve asked about all of this in my guild and very few take ANY timing into consideration, and those who do, only consider Ge. My mentor, outside the guild, does, but he also doesn’t get waiting a week.
@@phillycatlady 🤩🤩🤩 okay so you have two strategies at your disposal. Option 1 (the one you are considering): You can age up tomorrow after GBG starts and then for two weeks you will fight your previous era troops and use previous era goods. On your GE cycle come Tuesday you will go into current era. Option 2: wait till after GE cycle starts on Tuesday and then age up then. Then you have the rest of the GE cycle and GBG cycle to save up troops and goods. I chose and spoke about option 2 in the video because the idea of fighting previous era troops for two weeks makes me 😵😂 lol but you need to do what is best for you. I honestly didn't think about option 1 until just this past week when a friend brought it up. Basically you are safe doing either but consider which area you wanted affected for a shorter/longer amount of time.
Bahaha because I just got to Modern a few weeks or so before GBG was released and learning all about it took a lot of time. I finally have a grasp of it works and how our guild responds to it. Now that I know they love it, are serious about it, I know what is expected of me as a guild leader to maintain it. I finally feel comfortable jumping to the next era...I sit in eras often to make sure that I can support anything a guild member may need. Lately, it has been tons of goods for the Traz and CF. We have one guild member in Progressive Era and so I have been working hard to ensure that I can provide goods for building these GBs. Time for me to jump! :-)
I do have a starter basics video but I will do an updated one soon now that I have been in Iron Age for a bit. Or do you mean tips iron age players should do before jumping up eras? 🤩
@@LilianatheMagnificent in brisgard also,,,,,,,thanks 4 vids,,,, learned much ,,,, just 4 months in and people on fb page can be mean n impatient,,,, keep up the good workj
@@michaelhorvath4471 yay to Brisgard!!! Good world and yay I'm so so glad the videos are helpful. I like being able to foster FoE Players in anyway that I can, I rarely go on Facebook FoE pages for that exact reason. 😇
Shucks, why on earth! :-( I am so sorry, I have no idea, maybe it is where I am recording?!? Last time, I was in the living room next to a wall...maybe the sound reverbs off of it...this time I was in the spare bedroom with no walls near me...hmm thinking out loud here.
@@LilianatheMagnificent Bad quality, lol....they should get a load of the streamers I hang with. LOL. Honestly.....its all about the quality of the streams matching your purpose. You are FINE regarding your quality
That's is also a great strategy! Normally, I just hoard goods of my era and then create juicy and enticing 1:1 or 2:1 in my favor trades several eras down for whatever era goods I need or the treasury needs. However, I work my CF recurring quests to do so.
@@brianlester8367 I say yes sir 🤩 buuut some might say this Thursday in 12/10/20... I have been getting a lot of feedback and I think it depends on the person and if they are more GE or GBG focused... If GBG focused then this coming Thursday, if you're more focused on GE and GBG combined then 12/15/20. How's that for confusing... I should make an updated video lol 🤣
Finally, after couple months of a gameplay, I found a precise, reasoned answer to the question when to age up. Not a vague "Well, when you have accumulated 1k goods/built up your GBs at level 10th/you do not have free space anymore...etc" - but prooved instructions, in 1 go explaining GE, events and BG - thank you so much!
Omg, what a compliment! 😍 Thank you! I am so so glad that it was helpful!
@@LilianatheMagnificent a compliment well-deserved. Take care!
@@xy5392 You too 🤩
I started playing this game yesterday and as far as i can tell its gonna be a while before i need to worry about this.
Probably 🙈 congratulations!
At least I got one thing right. I leveled up some event buildings, but left some in the previous era. Great advice!
Yay, I'm so glad!!! You're super welcome!!
In case other new players like me are confused, the "Dynamic Tower" that is mentioned here has been renamed "Truce Tower."
I actually just made a video about that. 😃 It will be airing in the next week!
Great Stuff! well done bud! Another thing I add to levelling up, is to wait till when the neighbors' change on the second week on a Monday, so you have two weeks of being an era ahead of them. Just something I do!
That's a very good idea!! Especially if you're in a quiet neighborhood!! 🤩
Few people realize this, but special event upgrade kits count as one-up or renovation kits, if you didn't know. I purposely left my Gov Villa at level 8 until I went to LMA so it saved me a reno/one up kit.
Very true! A reason that I love Upgrade Kits. They are extremely beneficial!
Hi Liliana, they are all great advice. Nothing to say about them.
Now here is an advice from someone who is in futur era: champions and your heavy PME units are both exactly as good. So don't waste your FP and goods in rushing that tech, just put a champion refuge and let your traz do the all job for you :)
Also in CE, champions are better than heavy CE units. So don't spend your FP in rushing that tech either.
Omg omg omg 🤩 you are fantastic, well then, I won't put a rush on it. Reno kit/one up kit a champ it is! Thank you!
I am glad i helped. :)
You absolutely did!
@@ordre66productions4 CE = Contemporary Era. The one just after Post Moderne Era (PME)
Well done! Nice explanation of the timing.
You're super welcome! Hope it helps!
This was super helpful, I'm a new player, and I leveled up right in the middle of an event, so I had to spend half of it getting the forge points to research military buildings to finish a quest.... worst mistake ever
Oh no 🥺😦 luckily now you know and reach out anytime if you have questions! Mistakes can be fixed in game with time and patience. 😅
Foe is a very complex and strategic game if youre not prepared to take on. Many ive met always rush the tech tree to surpass ages. And those who do, didnt have the resources to prepare for the next age...and face tougher units that are one age above thiers. Especially when activate military tactics. All in all foe is a great social platform😃
This is exactly spot on! I share this advice to guildmates often and ask players to slow down. However, I worry some are turning into campers, like me. Oops lol!
Hey, I love your content and you are helping me a lot, keep up the good work!!
Yippie 🥳 I'm so glad!!
Some ideas:
- Before aging up: Fill the FP counter in all technologies of the next age
- Get enough goods to last a few days in the new age and for all technologies in the next age
- Progress the world map a bit ahead of your age until it stops being easy, mainly to be able to get the expansions early
- Wait for thursday morning until guild battlegrounds start.
- Then unlock everything and try to get to the best unit of the age.
- I personally wouldnt use up much of the saved up forge points, once you have 200+ fp you should get enough fp to set up your age until the next battlegrounds start.
You are like 800-1000% prepared, 100% might be enough though :D
Great advice and another great strategy! I enjoy hearing what other players do to prepare! 🤩 I still will wait till the 2nd week of GBG on the Tuesday GE opens as I want to be able to cycle my CF to gain a ton of goods before they will be needed for the next GE and GBG season. 🤭 I am definitely over prepared but that's me lol 🥳
SeverHappiness if you work on buildings with attack bonuses you can go fairly far beyond your age. I'm in LMA, one of 3 cities, and progressing through colonial fairly easily.
I enjoyed the video and there is some great information and advice in regards to hoarding resources before jumping. The advice given however is not for players who get advanced age military units in every age. It is always better when camping to be using military units from at least one age up which requires only researching techs that are required in quests, saving a lot of research AND advancing the map.
Here here that is sound advice!! I agree, I need to be better and use that advice as you are not the first to say that!! 😅😇
How do you get military units one age up? One city I have that but in post modern era I have none in the next era
@@paulvoas3328 you need to progress into the next era on the Continent Map in order to get military units from the era above yours, and yet you continue to stay in your current era in regards to your Research Tree.
Liliana the Magnificent i have 2 colonial units ( I’m in LMA). My map is industrial. Can I get industrial troops too by going further on the map....without screwing up my recurring quests.
Thanks for an excellent video. Really informative. Keep helping newbies like me.
Yay I'm so glad it was helpful!! 🤩
I'm totally aging up tomorrow right at the beginning of the event and no one can stop me! For real though, it's a bad idea unless you can work through the tech tree immediately. I don't age up unless I have the FPs to get through the whole thing even if I'm not doing it during an event. I also have a ton of goods from the next age because of the Truce Tower and trading down SAAB and SAV goods I get from aiding guildies.
ROFL you reminded me to make a video...this one is for you mister dare devil lol...ruclips.net/video/nE4kJMs3X4c/видео.html
I haven't experienced what you're saying about the map. I've been in Iron age for literally 2 years and I'm in industrial age in my continent map. My quests have never changed, recurring or otherwise. The only time they have changed was about a month ago when I finally researched military tactics and unlocked pvp/ gbg (yes, I have played for 2 years without that unlocked). To me, that suggests the quests are tied to the research tree and not the map.
I agree, they are semi tied to both. There are certain bonus land areas in the continent map the cause bonus quests to appear. However, I have also noticed that if you jump eras on the research tree and your continent map is still linked to the previous era, your questline also changes.
a couple questions from the 8th minute in the video. Why would a quest ask for production of previous age goods production? I haven't encountered this before unless it is the immediately previous age to what I am in. Also, can you elaborate on the need for previous age champions for GVG? I read the FOE Fandom entry for Champions retreat which mentioned this but I didn't get the context there either. Thanks.
OMG, that's my bad, I meant previous era productions from supply buildings not goods buildings.🤦♀️ Great catch!! Yes, I can explain that GvG rationale too! I have a video coming someday for in-depth GvG lol. So the GvG map is based upon eras. You can play in any era as long as you have troops from that era to lay siege and fight with. Let's say I am on the Modern era map, I can only use Modern troops. Champion Retreats are great because they don't take up a lot of space, population, or resources. Plant one in your city and let your Traz pump out some troops and now suddenly you can play on any map you have troops for. I hope that makes sense.
Great video! I'm in Colonial and plan to be here a while. I have very few Bronze and Iron Age goods in my coffers. Do I need any? Should I be trading for them or focusing on trading for previous (HMA), current, and next Era goods?
You will need some bronze and iron but not many, I would trade some down for them but your main focus is on building your current era goods. Don't focus on next era goods till you start preparing to age up. If you do a lot of negotiations then you will need previous era goods too. 🎉 Hope that helps!
Wish I knew about your videos or any of the others before I started playing. I will be stuck pretty much where I am now for a long time. At least from what I have been told by others. I've been playing about 2.5 years. I'm currently stuck in the Postmodern Era. All the tech is completed and I can age up.
So many things I never knew, like I never knew you could get and build great buildings well beyond your current age, so I kept aging as I went. Yes I got stronger troops and more higher level goods for opening the tech tree and GB's. I've advanced too far now, and my armies are too weak to open any more of the world map. My story line is stuck until I can move forward / age more.
For my GB I have the following
ARC = 14
TRAZ = 11
CDM = 16
COA = 16
LOA = 12
Zeus = 18
GALTA = 8
CHAT F = 6
OBS = 4
ST. MARK = 11
TOR = 10
I generate about 90=120 FP a day.
What should I focus on?
ARC to get more FP
TRAZ for more troops for doing GE / GBG ( I can get thru GE3, GE4 is too tough at this point)
or your 3 key building (Zeus/CoA,CDM) for more ATT power
So sorry, I never saw this but I hope you were able to find advice from your guild mates or friends. 🎉 Arc was always crucial.
Do you have an updated version of this? Like I can’t even find tribal squares now
No I don't. I don't play FoE anymore. I would check with other channels. 🎉
The TF is getting an upgrade along with the other GE exclusinve buildings. The level 2 TF gives 12 FP, according to the fandom wiki, but I haven't been able to find any official confirmation on it.
Yay, thank you for sharing! Every bit helps! I know the GE buildings got a graphic overhaul and upgrade! They look so nice!
Hey Rwithik, I come from the future and I can confirm your information :)
I notice you have a The Lord's Manor, any reason why? it gives 1 fp per 8 squares so i thought it was bad...
Are these type of buildings actually good if you have nothing better to put in the space?
Lol let's go with option 2 because I didn't even realize till right now that it gave me only 2 fps per 8 squares...I'll be tearing that down now once I have something better. 😁 It's equivalent to two Shrines of Knowledge so I'll keep it for now.
Great Tips.. Thank you very much
You are so welcome! 🤩
so turns out i really screwed myself over by having low supply production while parking in hma. i quickly ran out of supplies and now trying my best to produce as much as i can. 40k supplies 3,4m coins. nice balance there eh
Oh no 😥 I'm glad you corrected it though!!!
Get yourself a couple of windmills. You wont regret it.
Terrace Farms are now superseded by the Level 8 Terracotta Vineyard plus a Lavender Field (both will give 12 fps (24 with a BG successful hit) but you get the added bonuses from the TV). Tribal Squares are now outdated. If you've got a sufficient stock of goods in the 3 previous ages before you jump, you won't ned them. Plus there's Sleigh Builders, the Star Gazer, Wishing Wells, countless event buildings, the LoA - all provide goods. Plus of course level your CF and do RQs
Personally, I like to jump up when I'm completely fed up looking at the same town hall (lol) provided I've got sufficient goods and a stack of fps for the tech tree. There's no hard and fast rules. Even if you make a mistake you can always play catch up. GE will give you troops. Your buildings will provide goods. Traz will give you rogues, or another form of military unit if you need some whilst waiting for GE.
Just curious.. Why not also use GE as a measure for when to age up. In other words.. When you have enough attack bonus to fight all the way thru GE then that should also be a consideration for moving up.
Never thought about that lol. It's having the goods stored up that drives the decision for me. I can fight 60/64 with auto-battle but the last 4 I don't have the patience to manual battle so I negotiate lol 🤣
Great video!
Thank you 🎉
I'm almost at late middle ages, I've been trying to go through the eras as quickly as possible mainly because other players keep griefing my goods buildings and now I need stronger troops to keep those trolls at bay LOL The royal bathhouse I just got from my first Ancient Egypt playthrough and it's well worth it! One random unit, (When motivated) 2 FP and 9,360 coins at level 1.
The easiest way to not get raided is to just collect on time.
However if you can not do that here is one advice for you:
Level your great buildings. Neighbours usually only raid the end of the list, as they usually have the worst defense. Get yourself for example around 3 million might in colonial age and you practically wont get attacked.
@@hughmungus6964 I knew of the collecting part, I can't always be there but I try my best. I never knew about raising my score to be a real strategy. Thank you that was really insightful. And like I said, a stronger army which can be required to age up will help your chances of defending your city and therefore not getting raided.
@@Joejoesgotflow Thats not how it works. Your neighbours are determined by your age. Meaning the more you age up, the more you get raided as you get more and more to the end of the neighbours list
@@hughmungus6964 Oohh dang that's such trash. Really should be the other way around. :/
@@Joejoesgotflow Well than raiding would be useless, as you could only get low era goods. It also would make getting started a lot harder. Either way thats the way it is, so I would recommend getting your great buildings up asap
whats the disadvantage of aging up? i only know of getting plundered too easily. im in Progessive (Parkog).
Disadvantage is if you do it without being prepared, don't have the fps, goods, and access to military on the tech tree quickly to get you going in the new era. If you feel ready and haven't rushed to PE then there are no disadvantages. ❤️
seems to be to have success or decent battle fun you have to sit still in an era for months on end just producing goods , building up GBs and supplies.
It is definitely a marathon and not a sprint kinda game. It is good to stay in an era a few months before jumping, in my opinion but the beauty of the game is you can play however you like. Most players are long-term players but then you build up friendships along the way and that's the best part of the game in my opinion. 🤩
@@LilianatheMagnificent yeh learning that . 25000 goods is a of of sitting still unless you use Gbs for them too

What you've said is totally fine & i agree with it but as a new player like me in the IA, & having a good stock of FPs & some goods, i'm planning to jump directly to HMA skipping EMA, i got some EMA goods from trading btw ... was planning to level up next Tuesday 5th of May, sitting more 2 weeks in IA i feel like wasting time, also looking to get event buildings & rewards for HMA instead of IA ... so what do u think
I wouldn't jump on May 5th, tomorrow, as that is the first day of the event. I would at least wait until the Tuesday, next week. I will remain in IA for quite some time in my secondary world as I am still gain goods. I have been using the 1.9 thread in order to gain medals for expansions and am working on my Arc. I will always fall back on the saying that the game is a marathon and not a sprint. Good luck!
@@LilianatheMagnificent
Yea, ofcourse i agree with u its marathon not a sprint, i was just thinking about getting the evebt buildings of HMA would be more rewardable than getting IA & then when i advance i have lower Age buildings, am not trying to rush i was planning to do it soon ... All am thinking about now the event buildings so thats why am confused
@@mohammedabdel-baki7253 No worries there 🤩 Make the jump mid-event as you will still get event building in your current era. When you use an upgrade kit, it jumps the building to your current era, even if the initial level 1 building is from your past era. It acts like a free Reno kit. 🤩
The saving up forge points for rushing to military research is pretty smart

I'm in Contemporary era. Few people told me that I should remain in it as much as possible. I was thinking of upgrading my Arc to lv 80 and then move on. Currently it's on lv 36. And as for the Continent Map, I'm on the Future continent, having 9 out of 12 provinces conquered. I probably would have gotten all of them by now, but I'm just too lazy to trade goods that I need. 😆😆😆
Do you have any videos on how to maximize your space and basically how to keep the city in order, cause mine is just cluttered with crap.
I am intending on making a video about reorganizing my city! Because it desperately needs it but in general try to match similar sized buildings together in lines and minimize the amount of roads that you use so each building only needs one touching. Big GBs on the outskirts of your city too.
@@LilianatheMagnificent my problem is that I don't have more of one thing. Let's say one terrace farm. Maybe two sleigh builders. I have three tiger dens. I have many things, one or two. I have clear the city and remove some, but I don't know what. Thanks anyway.
Hi Lil, useful video, thanks. I'm in HMA currently, thinking to age up to LMA . I have 500 of all Bronze Age goods, 1k of all Iron Age goods, 5-600 of EMA goods (working on topping these up) and 1k of all HMA goods. I have a lvl 10 Zeus, a 7 CoA and a 7 CdM and a level 6 Arc (newly acquired). My plan is to get all these GBs to 10 before I level up, so I'm thinking early in the New Year. Does that sound like a good strategy to move to LMA to you? Or should I wait a bit more first?
I think that sounds perfect!! You made a great plan!! Start the new year fresh!! 😌
@@LilianatheMagnificent thanks! Might ask you for a leveling up date for January then!
Would you rather have a longer time to save up troops and goods in a full GBG season (short GE season), or have a full GE season and half a GBG season?
@@LilianatheMagnificent looks like our guild is going to get promoted out of GBG gold league this season so might be better to age later if we're facing tougher opposition

Hello! So, I’m in EMA, and would like to move to the next level soon - the Football event ends in 10 days...when would u suggest the best timing for leveling?
I would say on Tuesday right after GE opens!
@@LilianatheMagnificent Thx!!
@@prpllvr32 you're welcome
REALLLY THINK about WHY are you waiting to level.
If you have your higher buildings from trading at a decent level. What is making you wait. If you have the 3 main fighting buildings.(60-80) Truce. Traz. H castle (for supplies) go for it. Of course arc.
Use Truce to get higher goods. Trade down doubling each time. Even if you don't have truce. If you have around 4 buildings that give a decent amount of goods. Sleigh builders are nice. Terra farm gives variety but large. Up those buildings to the level with you. (ex 25+ goods) They build up fast. As you prepare you can keep some buildings a little below you. They still want you to have 3 level goods below your in. But again. Can do continued trading down. Stage of ages is great. Star gazer too if you have it.
Some talk about fighting is an issue. If you have Traz switch out a couple troop buildings that you like. Or even 1. You get troops from your new era. Which is fighting troops from the era you are in. So your fighting the same. But if you have your 3 fighting buildings high. You have the advantage from the beginning.
I know the NORM is never level fast. But yet again. Why not. I have 2 cities. I stayed at progressive to prepare myself to level fast. Using Truce for goods. Build up some FP.. Went up to Future in between events. Then used my renovation to move my main buildings up to that level. Stayed there till I get the map up to that era. You build up things as you do the map. Artic up you have to do mining or shipping so it slows you down anyway. But same logic. Why stay to long in any era if you can prepare yourself .With how the game is making it hard to get a finished event building by the end of the event anymore. Diamonds are harder to get from wells. Everything is fragments. focus on leveling.
Use the timing tips she gives. But really think what is the point of waiting.
All great points. 🎉 I like your perspective.
Hi Lil, thanks for the great video again! I can't wait for your advice on GB strategies. I am currently working on my CDM (after Zeus and Aachen) to have a decent 100% or so attack bonus, and at the same time slowly leveling my Arc, now on level 6. Should I go for CF which I really want, or focusing on the Arc? Also leveling Arc up to 80 sounds like the most boring thing, takes so much time! Before spending hundreds of fp on researching the next era (I'm in HMA) I really don't know which path to take.
I have a GB strategy video in the hopper for another week! 🤩 If you have space, get a CF planted but still focus on your Arc. I know it is boring but it's essential. Do you have access to a 1.9 thread to help with leveling?
@@LilianatheMagnificent Yes, we have a stronger guild helping with a 1.9 thread, but in my guild only 1 of 15 players have a level 80 arc and I don't see others working on it although they are playing for more than a year. Anyway at which level should I go in a 1.9 thread? I don't have a huge stock of fp to immediately put in my share. Should I use up what I already have in my inventory or use the daily collection?
@@almasianita87 I use my daily collection to slowly prep my buildings, I use the 1.9 thread for every GB at every level! 🥳 Save your inventory for taking 5th spots on others GBs in the 1.9 thread. 🤩
Advising players to move up an era during the second week of GBG is bad advice imho.
GE starts on a Tuesday BUT, you have 6 days to complete it. Moving up an era on a Thursday, after GBG starts, is better as you enjoy an entire season facing lower era units AND your current GE will be much easier. You then have upto 10 days to gather goods & units before the next GE ends, which will be at your new era, which is plenty of time to get that done.
You're right about not moving up at the start of an event, although my advice would be to wait until the event is finished before moving up an era, just don't build and/or upgrade your new event building(s) until after you have moved up. That way, when you do upgrade it, it will automatically upgrade to your new era, this will save you having to use a One-up/Reno kit on it.
Either option works and it is definitely up to the player! I was actually going to make a follow up video to share that the 1st Thursday of GBG is also a great time to age up (I hadn't even thought about it until a player/subscriber had mentioned it and I was like hey, that works too lol). I personally drove myself crazy enough with 6 days of GBG in the old era but then again my CF and Traz are very high and can support pumping out plenty of goods and units in 6 days time. 🤩
I also agree about the aging up after events. I like doing the tail end of the event because then you have a chance of collecting units, goods, and buildings from the new era. It's like a little jump start! 🤩
If I may ask, how long does it take you in a era in order to build 24k of each goods of the era? Thanks
I've been in Modern Era for about 8 months but I'm also super active in GE, GBG, and trading goods for GBs within guild. 🤩
Will you be doing one on how you produce so much goods? You have been doing a good job on these videos.
Thank you so much! Yes, I have been intending to do that! I even have notes written lol! Okay girl, I need to hop to it!
I’d love to see that video too. I’m very new and your videos are helping me a lot. The good cycling? Recurring quests cycling for goods? I’m really confused by. That StarGazer sounds amazing. I’m in Iron Age hanging out with 50 goods total.
@@russemerson1358 I need to get that video created! This weekend will be a video weekend. I am glad my videos have been helpful and I hope they continue to be. :-) I will cover cycling some more for sure! Don't worry, my secondary city is a work in progress when it comes to goods as well!
You must have a pretty good guild to get all those advance great buildings? And what everosaid here - wow, I was going to age up when I got 2000 of each good. My Chateau is only10 and working on that now. ARC IS 72.
I may be bias but I love love love my guild! We have such a diverse and supportive group of players. But most importantly, we have fun together and our threads are always chatty, that's what I love!
Way to go on your Arc! It is so so close to 80 and then yes focus on CF right after, that's what I did!
You have a Babel. I see so many senior players with them. Yet, I read all about why you should not have. What are your thoughts?
I'm a hoarder of goods 😇 I keep mine for the goods but players who are not goods focused dump it for the Inno Tower exclusively for population.
@@LilianatheMagnificent you are awesome. I watched another one of your videos after leaving this comment where you explained. Question, do you share your guild with the public? I am looking for a good guild who does trading and help levelling with one another, and also is active in GE.
@@amunra_ absolutely, if you are in B world on the US server, PM me, we have a mother guild and a sister guild for tinier players 🤩 we help players grow in both!
@@LilianatheMagnificent thank you for the opportunity! It seems I am not in the b world unfortunately. I am in just the US server ?ref=addfix_us_us
@@amunra_ that's okay! I can help out on here with advice, whenever you need!
Thank you for this video. was wondering if i should age up now since ive been sitting in HMA for months now lol. one thing i dont see me beeing able to have is alot of fp packages and a really big stock of goods as i 1. dont get alot of packages since i dont do swap threads and my arc is lvl 3 lol. 2. i use up goods every week with ge and gbg as i only really have millitary great buildings yet. but i guess ima have to deal with that in early ages
I intend to sit in Iron Age in Houndsmoor for a very significant amount of time due to everything you just stated! :-)
Yeowza! Over 1,200 GBG fights? My guild on Birka just ran all over the competition and made it into the top 10 guilds today. But our biggest fighter only won about 100 or so fights total. And everything in your era's so big. TOR looks like a baby compared to its surroundings and it'll easily be the largest structure in my city once I place it.
Anyhoo. Thanks for the vid. I was fortunate on the timing of this since I was getting the itch to move into EMA but didn't know when. Now I have a date and some goods goals to push for in the meantime. I have one question. Between my guild, friends and neighborhood, there's no stone from BA being traded right now. Is there a way of getting it w/o going an inefficient route like producing non-boosted goods myself or using that greedy 10:1 merchant?
Siege camps make all the difference in GBG! We are not even top 10 in Brisgard as there are other guilds that are older than us with some really massive players! Yes lol those GBs in higher era are definitely huge, takes the reconstruction button to move everything. I spent hours doing that this week lol. I am so so glad that the video was helpful and out at a good time! 🤩
I would send a message out to your friends and hoodies asking if anyone is boosted in Stone and if they would be willing to make a trade. Someone has to be boosted! Otherwise, if you play on computer, you can post a need in global chat and there are goods traders!
Best day to advance is not after the Guild expedition starts. It's AFTER GROUND BATTLE STARTS! That's 2 weeks of advantage!
It definitely needs to be after GBG starts, I agree. I find it best the 2nd Tuesday of the GBG season then you get an easy GE and GBG 🤩
Like the video keep it going
Aye aye Captain 😎
one "fell" swoop... not one fall swoop. Fell means "deadly", in this case. (Look it up)
ROFL maybe it is a deadly situation bahaha!
Im at the end of EMA on the research tree and the only GB i have is the Oracle, should i wait till i get some more?
Do you have full sets of BPs for various GBs? If so, which ones?
@@LilianatheMagnificent i need 1 for the lighthouse, 5 for tower of babel and 4 for zeus
@@kxngmal1185 hmmm 🤔 how active is your guild? Do they have swaps available for your to earn spots to get those bps?
@@LilianatheMagnificent They are somewhat active the people in it are nice but most of the GBs are too high of a level and so i never have enough forge points to get blueprints
@@kxngmal1185 do they have a 1.9 thread so that you can take 4th-5th spots?
I am in late Middle Ages and have a complete BP for the Ark. How can I get the supplies for that era without spending diamonds ?
First, message out all members of your guild and find out if anyone can help you with goods, if it's a no there then message out everyone in your friend's list and ask if anyone can help you or provide you the name of someone that can help you, if it's a no there then do the same in your hood. Even if no one in your immediate guild, friends, or hood can get you the goods someone will come from a guild that has a member that can help you. Worst case scenario, log onto your computer and post in global chat that you need Arc goods if anyone can help. You will have to send a friend request to whoever is your goods supplier. Good luck! :-)
Depends on how old the server is. Easiest way is the guild as LIlana already said, otherwise a good alternative is just looking through the top 100 players. Just message some of them and ask if they would be willing to trade. Most likely one of them will either trade themselfs or will know someone who is trading.
@@hughmungus6964 oh oh oh that's a great idea too!! You are an expert, I can tell!
Some helpful ideas, imma start keeping tribal squares now
Yay 🥳 I'm so glad and great idea!
This came up as the 1st vider in my feed! And I was just wondering when you'll move up to the frigid Arctic Future? I am going to have my AO at 85 in 2 days! I'm so excited; But I also wanted to mention as you know how having you CF up as soon aa ARC 80 and possible? Well In my second city that's an active city I camped in CE for 6 months but I had to move up to Tomorrow because I needed the diamonds to get a ferris wheel to full level 10! But in that world wow! It's so great as With the CF at 70; I get so many coins and supplies! But it's like in my main city where I'm staying in Mars for well Idk but it's probably my final era! Because the recurring quests and CF don't work like they used to! Ever since I got to Virtual and then Mars it's like the large coin reward doesn't fulfill fnord! And once you get to AF you get a second supplies recurring! It's less supplies than Spink but in VF and Mars You don't get enough supplies on the large reward to fulfill Supplies! And also I asked around and if I were to move up I'd be in top hoods which hood snipe profit is impossible without an ARC 150! And then it's such small profit! OF was the last hood group that was crazy high on the profits but I make do with Mars I just don't see why that anyone would want to move up as profits go down and ugh SAAB is the worst space age! But I love having the Egyptian Bathhouse and governors villas because they make moving into new eras so much easier! But in the eras below AF and OF you can up everything but once to AF and OF you wanna have a balance since you're going to need goods for the Arctic Harbour ship and then you need to keep loads of stuff in AF while in OF because with stuff like HC/SC you'll get lots of OF goods but you need a source of goods for Arctic Harbour! But I hope all well! Oh the summer event this year is going to have a HUGE base building that's a chain building! The pirate hideout has 9 levels and is 5x6! It looks neat but it will have 3 attachments same size as the Vineyard attachments 5x2! The boats, piers, and sharks!
ROFL ummmm that's a very difficult question... Maybe in two years 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats on your AO! Beast mode! I have my CF at 71 I think 🤔. I have been working on my goods buildings for a while now to help stock guild treasury in the lower eras.
Lol I probably need to move up to TE but I'm a slow poke bahaha.
Omg I am sooooo excited about the Summer Event, I super enjoy the theme! Was worried they replaced it for the Wildlife Event so a relief to hear you talk about it!
Now I am in LMA and the server started in November 2019 I started a month later...
many players are in Ocean future... why?
Also I was able to fight across all maps to the era before modern age... in LMA ...
Also do this calendar for every month please, just calendar... day two before months end
Those players are doing one of two things, either spending massive amounts of diamonds in order to plow through everything successfully or they are floundering through eras and don't know to take their time and save resources patiently. I am banking on the former. 😏
🤩🤩 Fantastic idea, thank you! I will make that video each month. It will be a quick one for me (which we all know I struggle with not being a chatter box ROFL) and I love visuals!! They are great!
I'm in en3 server .. can somebody help me get the arc .. ill do whatever is needed ... thanks
I would totally help if I could! 😞
Question - what do you do to get some much medallions ? Any tips..
I have a level 80 Arc and I work the 1.9 thread. I am overflowing with medals because of it. 🤩
I played this game for a few years and finally last july got sick of the game and deleted my city in asteroid age
I hope you found a new game that you like! It always sucks when friends leave the game. 😭 It's been more lately.
Good video. but. With Ge, keep in mind that your rewards will be of the previous era as well. not good, but kind of depends on your attack boost. With GBG, this is fine, since you can't get previous era goods that are now totally useless. Also, in lower ages, you want to consider neighborhoods as well. you want to be above your neighborhood until LMA or later. That helps, but should not push you into the next era. the new neighborhood starts with Monday every two weeks. not sure how that lines up with GBG though. Finally, If you are in a good guild, you will probably be able to get previous era goods. Also, do you have a problem with trading with your guild? I have a trading loop with two other people that provides me with all the current and previous era goods I need. Again, great video, but I felt the need to put in other things that I consider.
These are absolutely great suggestions!! I have heard from others that being near the top of your hood is also a key indication. Hood changes are tricky, most often it is every two weeks but the timing gets impacted with events, especially those where you're competing against your hood (e.g. Pirate/Summer Event). I find I like getting "previous era goods" in GE because I still do negotiations because of my Space Carrier and also during races in GBG. As per the trading, we have a very active goods trade thread in guild but it gets tricky when some of our players are heavy negotiators in GBG because then they are using a ton of their current era goods and can't pick up other's previous era goods needs if they are an era below. If that made any sense lol. 😅
P. S. I'm sorry I missed this comment!
@@LilianatheMagnificent My guild is full of strong fighters, and most people have l80 arcs, so treasury is not a big issue. Whenever I post a trade, it gets picked up within 10~ minutes. I am in CA, right now, and I can typically fight 600~ encounters in GBG every season, so goods aren't exactly an issue to me. I personally like being near the top of my hood, since that seems to repel attackers more than anything else I do. When I moved EMA to LMA, I kinda skipped HMA, so I was 2 ages ahead of my hood, with some CA troops as well, so I could fight down 3 ages. It was great. I killed GE that week, and did much more GBG than usual, but I also plundered so many terrace farms, and only got attacked back a couple of times. What I was saying about previous age goods is that after that week, they are 2 ages old, and totally useless now. Like you said, if that made any sense. . .
@@G3-7162 That does make sense!! 🤩🥳 You kicked butt sir!! I'm so glad you shared your perspective, I learn so much from everyone who comments. 😃
Note that when you renovate Terrace Farms their population increases significantly, and in middle eras this can throw you out of a "happy" populace. So for example if you are using them primarily for FPs don't renovate them!
This is great information!! Thank you for sharing it!!

What's the best way to get reno kits?
I get some in guild expedition via completing 64/64 encounters and having a Temple of Relics to occasionally get a relic with a Reno kit. I occasionally get one from the daily chests. If I ever see one in the daily options in the antiques dealer I pick one up. BUT when they come around as a daily special during events, that's when I stock up like crazy! 🤩
Awesome video. I learned a lot from this. Subscribed and going to check out your other videos. Thanks!
Yay 🤩 so happy! More to come!
How much money are you sending a month on this game???????
Nothing, the last time I spent money in the game was probably 2 years ago.
Im still in Iron age bcs i want. Its the Best era
How long have you been there?
For 1 month
Okay that's alright, I was in iron for a few months before I jumped to EMA. Building a foundation is key.
Lil, I got lost when you said wait til the second week of gbg. Both Ge and gbg ended for me today. No events running. Why do I have to wait for week 2 of gbg? Run that by me again, if you have time. It seems I’d be missing contributing for the first week, but I’m sure I’m not getting the big picture. So many considerations! I’m going from LMA to colonial if that matters and already have about 1700 of each. My stock of LMA is giant...over 40k each. I have plenty of one ups but not completely clear how many I’ll use. Unfortunately I don’t have a stargazer and my cf is good but not at your level. Neither is my Traz. Seems like I will take more time to get good troop levels as a result. The amount dropped in Ge is unpredictable and not sufficient for my bloody battles.
I mostly use champions and rogues. Do I really need multi era champs? Are these 800 LMA champs going to become useless fighting colonial troops? I use artillery a lot, so will need to unlock them. I’ve been cycling too for ages but think I lose recurring quests once I start the quests related to moving thru colonial. Abort side quests but do story quests? Can I get them back later? What about bonus quests? I’m so confused!
And you think YOU are wordy!
Let's see if I can't help a bit 🤩
Oh thank god, you saw this. Tomorrow is the first day of gbg and I’m very tempted to age up right after it starts. I’ve asked about all of this in my guild and very few take ANY timing into consideration, and those who do, only consider Ge. My mentor, outside the guild, does, but he also doesn’t get waiting a week.
@@phillycatlady 🤩🤩🤩 okay so you have two strategies at your disposal. Option 1 (the one you are considering): You can age up tomorrow after GBG starts and then for two weeks you will fight your previous era troops and use previous era goods. On your GE cycle come Tuesday you will go into current era. Option 2: wait till after GE cycle starts on Tuesday and then age up then. Then you have the rest of the GE cycle and GBG cycle to save up troops and goods. I chose and spoke about option 2 in the video because the idea of fighting previous era troops for two weeks makes me 😵😂 lol but you need to do what is best for you. I honestly didn't think about option 1 until just this past week when a friend brought it up. Basically you are safe doing either but consider which area you wanted affected for a shorter/longer amount of time.
@@phillycatlady I am answering in parts by the way ❤️
Why did you decide to park in modern?
Bahaha because I just got to Modern a few weeks or so before GBG was released and learning all about it took a lot of time. I finally have a grasp of it works and how our guild responds to it. Now that I know they love it, are serious about it, I know what is expected of me as a guild leader to maintain it. I finally feel comfortable jumping to the next era...I sit in eras often to make sure that I can support anything a guild member may need. Lately, it has been tons of goods for the Traz and CF. We have one guild member in Progressive Era and so I have been working hard to ensure that I can provide goods for building these GBs. Time for me to jump! :-)

You need room for 2 lane roads
I have purposely set up my city so that I don't need two lane roads as they take up so much space, I just don't build anything that is era specific.

@@LilianatheMagnificent wouldnt it be better to save some space so we can build any resource buildings to produce resources from previous eras?
That's is also a great strategy! Normally, I just hoard goods of my era and then create juicy and enticing 1:1 or 2:1 in my favor trades several eras down for whatever era goods I need or the treasury needs. However, I work my CF recurring quests to do so.
