Event Tenth Anniversary Event

Juber · Feb 23, 2022

Dear Kings and Queens,

Welcome to the event for the ages! Almost 10 years ago, Forge of Empires was created, and now we are celebrating this momentous occasion with a brand-new event!

The Forge tenth anniversary event is based on a board game — and like many that you may have played — the objective is to get around the board by rolling Dice!

Roll The Dice!

Use Paper Money to roll the Dice. Earn Paper Money through completing Quests, through Daily Log-in, or from Incidents found in your city. These Incidents are very much distinguishable from the normal ones!

There are also Golden Dice, which can be found as rewards in the event and purchased with diamonds. These allow you to select the exact number of spaces you want to move (from 1-6).

Quests can be found through the Forge Fact-Finder, which will not only give you quests, but also some interesting facts from the history of Forge!

There are 40 rush quests and 21 daily quests, for a total of 61 quests in the questline!

The Spaces You Can Land!

With each roll, there are a variety of Spaces you can land on. Each with its unique reward including buildings, coins, medals, supplies, avatars, as well as Chests!

Common Chest	Rare Chest

13-15% chance of the Daily Special Blueprints and Fragments (including the wishing well) Coin and supply boosts Goods, Units, Buildings, as well as other additional prizes!	16% chance of a Daily Special Large Attacker and Defender boosts Units, Buildings, and Forge Points And much more!

Yet, that is not the only space you should pay attention to! Once per day, there are the Daily Goal spaces, which are marked with a little blue flag. Landing on these will grant you additional rewards (including a 20% chance of getting a daily special)!

There are also special tiles, found in the corner! These will provide you with special additional rewards, and the one on the bottom right will even boost your percentage chances of winning Daily Specials by 5%!

Advance Around The Board!

A full trip around the Board will advance you through Ages! You start at the Stone Age and then catapult your way to the Space Age! There are twenty different boards for you to experience, and once you reach the twentieth, and final board, the fun doesn't end! You can continue playing until your heart's content.

Yet, advancing Age is not the only reason, that you should move around the Board! Each trip, will improve certain Spaces on the board (thereby improving the rewards), as well as make progress toward the Grand Prize! Indeed, the Grand Prize bar fills up with each roll of the dice, and space you pass on the board!

The Rewards

We can't have an event without a new building! The Golden Orrery is a ten-level 4x5 upgradeable building and the main building that you will win in the Grand Prize!

Level 1-3: Population, Happiness, and Supplies
Level 4: Population, Happiness, Supplies and 1 Forge Point
Level 5: Population, Happiness, Supplies and 2 Forge Points
Level 6: Population, Happiness, Supplies and 3 Forge Points
Level 7: Population, Happiness, Supplies, 4 Forge Points, and up to 17% defensive boost for an attacking army.
Level 8: Population, Happiness, Supplies, 6 Forge Points, up to 21% defensive boost for an attacking army, as well as a random reward!
Level 9: Population, Happiness, Supplies, 8 Forge Points, up to 24% defensive boost for an attacking army, as well as a random reward (with an improved reward pool)!
Level 10: Population, Happiness, Supplies, 10 Forge Points, up to 27% defensive boost for an attacking army, as well as a random reward (with a further improved reward pool)!

However, we couldn’t just celebrate with one new building! There are also additional prizes you can win by landing on Spaces on the Board! This includes the Grand King, which grants medals, and the Grand Queen, which grants goods. These are both upgradeable to level 2 and when placed next to each other you can receive Forge Points!

In addition, the Stage of Ages can be won in the Daily Special and will grant forge points, goods from the previous era, and an attack boost for your attacking army.

Lastly, you will have the opportunity to earn avatars from past events, even highly sought-after historical figures from our historical quest lines! There are also some brand-new avatars, just for this event, that you can win to show off your board game prowess!

We hope you enjoy our newest event. You can share any feedback you have here.

Sincerely,

Your Forge of Empires Team

Dear Kings and Queens,
After tomorrows update, we will make some changes to the Event. This will lead to the side effect, that the rewards on the board will get shuffled again after the update. The following changes will get implemented:

We will remove the 2 blank tiles from the board and replace them with chests.
We will also increase the frequency of chests on the board in general.
We will increase the chance for Daily Specials in every chest.
For the presents containing either the grand king or queen and the upgrade kit, we changed them to a selection kit, instead of one of the two rewards and added an item and Forge Points as possible rewards as well.
We will increase the amount of Forge Points from the Daily Goal chest (10->20).
We will also remove the incidents, which only contain 3 paper money and made the event incidents appearing more often.

Thank you for the feedback you provided already. Please tell us, what you think of these changes and what else we could improve in the feedback thread!

Juber · Mar 7, 2022

Dear Kings and Queens,
Today, we will make further balancing changes, this time to the Event Buildings.

Golden Orrery:
- We have removed the need to motivate it. It can also not be plundered.
- We have exchanged the Mass Aid Fragments and replaced them with Large Attack Boost (20%) Fragments.
- We have added Previous Era Goods to its production (5 on level 9 and 10 on level 10)
Stage of Ages:
- We have decreased the amount of Forge Points from 5 to 4.
- We have also removed the coin production completely.

Thank you again for providing all your feedback. If you want to give feedback on these changes, please do so here.

The Stats post will be updated later today.

Juber · Mar 13, 2022

Dear Kings and Queens,

The feedback you provided until now was incredible and lead to more balancing changes, that will be applied after tomorrows update:
Firstly, we have increased the amount of Paper Money you receive from the Rush Quests (from 50 to 55) and decreased the difficulty for a small amount of quests.
We also made some changes to the Grand King and Queen. Both now provide a 5% Attack Boost for your Attacking Army (same for every age) on level 2.

Again, feel free to share what you think of these changes and what further changes you would like to see in the feedback thread here.

The Stats post will be updated after the tomorrows update.

Dear players,

As some of you, especially iOS-Players may have noticed, the event was not available, when you have the app from the store.
Firstly, we want to apologize, that you were not able to test the event. We know that many of you would have loved to test it, since it has a completely new mechanic and has great rewards. With this post we want to give you a bit of insight on why it was not possible this event.

We have to begin with why you even need a specific version to play events in the first place on mobile and why there is no issue on browser. On browser, you always have the version of the server you play on. If your live world is on 1.225, you also play on 1.225. When you switch to beta, which has 1.227 as a server version, you also play with 1.227 on your browser. This is possible, because on browser you don't have a client, which needs to be updated, but everything is in the browser and online. It is however different for the app. If we take the versions from the previous example, your app will be on version 1.225.XX (XX stands for which iteration of the 225 update you have) or even lower, if it is not available yet.
If you now go to the beta server, you still play on version 1.225.XX, even if the server is already on version 1.227. So even though you play on beta, you don't play on the newest version. Because of this, we introduced the Beta App a while back, so you can also play on the latest beta version, which is always in sync with the current server version, when you download it.

Now, why did I explain all of this? Because since you are on an older version, things created and done in version 1.226 for example are not yet available to you. In the case of this event, some core mechanics of the event were done in 1.226, so even if we would make the event available for lower versions, it would not even work and potentially even break your account and make the game unplayable until you get the update. As the Anniversary Event is a brand new Event type, many things have been done, changing many aspects of the event itself. This is why the required version is so high, compared to other events.
Of course, we have forwarded your unsatisfactory with this situation and look into improvements for the future. But until now, it is simply not possible in any other way.
Thank you for reading and keep on Forging!

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team

Today, we have made another improvement and increased the amount of Paper Money in the rush quests by 10 again, bringing the amount to 65 Paper Money per quest.
