I want to make a statement that concerns not only the present event, but in general those events that contain the requirement to buy forge points:
Whenever any event asks me to buy forge points, I will stop the course of the event at that moment. I have told you before that I consider it unfair to "force" me to buy forge points. I consider the purpose of this demand to be fraudulent. It is intended that in the future the forge points will be so expensive (since the points become more expensive with each purchase) that I will be forced to spend diamonds. Ask me what else you want, but not to buy f.p.. That's all.
By the time you make it to the later ages you will find that buying FPs is of no concern. I have bought over 10,000 FPs using coins only and at every collection of my city I find myself able to buy 100+ more FPs, even though they now cost me 2.1M coins per FP. You will eventually see over 1 billion (1G in the game) coins on your bar and should have little problem keeping a buffer to be able to buy 500FP at any moment without concern.
Hang in there, get an SMB (Saint Marks Basilica), add event buildings to your city and FP purchasing will no longer be about "I don't know if I'll be able to afford it in the future" and rather become, "How am I going to click the buy 1 FP button enough times to spend all my coins?"
As for the event, I'm sorry to see it is almost "exactly" the same as last year, but at least getting the event building, which looks pretty good in stats, should be pretty simple.
