If you have the Arc, even at Level 10, you get 141 Forge Points and 3578 medals instead. Forge Points / Happiness / Goods / Attack & Defense Power / Medals are the pillars of success in FoE. Already its common to see people with more than 100 points attack/defense boost. Coins. Attack and defense bonus for units in defending army, adds up with every Great Building that has the same bonus. The added perk is that this will also open up free rewards spots for your guildmates. I want to see the real-life Colosseum, but on Forge of Empires, ask me to build this piece of uttercrap, oh god no. Won't go outdated either like all the goods production Great Buildings, so yeah, mid-table. At the other end, Alcatraz won hands down, with CdM a distant second. No wonder the Space Needle is so unpopular. If you are in a 1.9 and have a busy 1.9 thread in your guild then it makes sense to get your Arc raised up to 100+ . It may not display this or other websites correctly. RandomForger123 2 yr. ago. Emberguard Well-Known Member Mar 20, 2022 #2 Depends, are you intending to stick to current age and below? It provides you with two things: Coins, which as I've established hundreds of times already, is a crap bonus. The Statue gives a unit attack/defence bonus when attacking. The Tower gives 6 goods at level one and upgrades itself as you move through the ages! DYNAMIC TOWER ok Tough one this one useful when it gets levelled up a higher AND you aid lots of people every day. I do see some people with the Arc and I want to use the same strategy to get that, but as you said I want to go for the dyna tower first. Guys, this advice is from about 5 years ago, the game was radically different then. 2000 coins per day from a GB may feel good in EMA, but is nothing later in the game. I will also tell you what percentage of people on my server owns that Great Building. It's a gigantic piece of garbage on Forge of Empires. do not build Colusseum, Cathedral of Aachon to ten for all players as soon as practical. So as you all know, there are over 40 Great Buildings in Forge of Empires. The other benefit of Notre Dame is to provide lots of happiness (3900 when maxed). Unlike conventional buildings which require only coins / supplies, Great Buildings have requirements of goods and a full set of blueprints which must be collected before the Great Building can be constructed. But what do we have as icing? The Great Building at level 0 is just a construction site and it won't build itself like other buildings. This tells you a relic appeared on your GE map. The only high level players that have them are ones that are sentimental and like the look of it in their city. St Marks Basilica: Excellent (peaceful/traders). Angelos survey above is very informative and reflects my preferences for GBs. In addition, the calculated FP to block the first place and the total construction costs of the Great Building by the owner. How do I correctly do fp threads as well. Statue of Zeus: Mostly decorative (ok for PvP). Players who have Great Buildings have a "castle" icon on the social menu. Helping Hands Allows the possibility of finding a Relic upon completing a Guild Expedition challenge. The supplies boost is very good (more than 27,000 supplies per day, when you have some farms), and actually exceeds the benefits of the Goods side. How do you advise people of low level to get the blueprints and goods to build the Tower so early in the game? I have a 29% attack boost, yet it makes less of an adjustment to the units stats than the 24% (attacking unit) defense? Nice Great Building to have, but it's really down to you. If you have one of these, youll want to spend your forge points to advance to later ages as rapidly as possible. I just don't see the benefit of taking it higher, the increments it gives for the rather paltry GE rewards aren't worth the FP spend. These are at minimum sufficient to pay back the cost of the space and goods required to build it. It does provide a fair amount of gold, but it needs a reno kit to move up in age. Quite delicious already, and if you upgrade it to say Level 80 (which is where most people stop upgrading their Arcs), and then do the same thingyou get 209 Forge Points and 5189 Medals. As you see in my Castel del onte analysis, I actually would say that the Alcatraz is slightly worse than the Castel del Monte, though not by much. Overall, this IS a very, and I do mean, VERY good Great Building, and I'll be amazed if you don't have it by The Future at the very latest. (Similar. I have just reached the industrial age and my view on GBs is now very different to when I was earlier in the game. My thoughts and suggestions as well. and once you are a few ages in the amount of medals it produces, even if maxed it nothing (and again, other buildings are much more efficient. The Castel provides both, and only occupying 25 spaces. Now players can trade in a complete blueprint set to unlock levels after 10. This would really be a valuable reference item. 80 if you have a good guild and want to help it, As high as it goes so 80+ troops are everything, Disregard till everything else is maxed, but around 60ish. I built the Cathedral of Aachen shortly after I reached the Progressive Era, and I actually felt like that this Great Building is a little bit overrated. That is 1 in 4 shot. If you cant afford enough space in your city to have two large GBs, I still slightly prefer the Notre Dame or Hagia Sophia happiness GBs over the Colosseum, but if you get a full set of Colosseum blueprints first, then build it for sure. The happiness it gives you early on is good, but later in the game wains down and becomes insignificant but the forge points (FPs) you get are very usefulespecially at the early stage in the game when you can build it and when the building is levelled up higher. CdM Underwhelming?!?!? Zeus-63. Plunder Repel Not worth it. And its pretty colorful! ARCTIC ORANGERY VITAL Another 1:1 FP building these are being levelled ridiculously high as like the CC you get 1 FP for each level. Let's see what is the Space Needle's secondary bo- COINS? Youre going to fight. No GB can supply you with attached units. The high ownership rate really already speaks volumes about how good it is. On reviewing their benefits, it is clear that some ARE better than others. Its difficult to figure out exactly how much though, and whether the difference is fair or not. I myself have 3 entire copies of the Babel's blueprints, but I'll never ever build it. CAPE CANAVERAL Very good/vital 1 FP for every level it goes up. I'll rate each Great Building via [TBD] catagories, and rate each of these categories from 0-10, before calculate the average and translating it to an S to F- system. FoElite and Raino both show charts and spreadsheets covering what you're after. Alcatraz: level 3,6,or 9+. Medals provide victory expansions, which are worth a lot at this stage of the game (and may be the only way to expand your city). Bottom line: build this one for the happiness benefit alone. GBs are crucial to enjoying FoE. Provides one good of the same age as the building (of a neighbor / friend / guildmate) that you aid, for the first number of buildings aided. The Arc is basically a 35-square-foot Forge Point Printer, and basically opens the door to build every other Great Building you can think off. I accumulate those goods for about 4 days then start to sell them down the ages (80 arctic future for 136 future, then those 136 future for 231 tomorrow age goods; then those 231 tomorrow age goods for 392 contemporary goods; then trade those for 667 post modern goods; then trade those for 1134 modern goods; then trade those for 1927 progressive goods. You would be correct if you are the only one contributing to your own GB. Youll want to have 10 supply production buildings, collected 4 times per day, or some similar arrangement. This is basically a better LoA. Post-Arc80 Level 60-70. So the Lighthouse is better for its size but the coin boost of St Marks is so huge that it makes up for the larger size. That is, it gives you people, without any corresponding income. However I was already at Modern Era when Tomorrow (and the Tower) were released so couldnt benefit. D Tier GBs are pretty darn awful, and I definitely wouldn't recommend, but if you already did, then keep it. As a player of 3 years in the game, let me give you my thoughts. *The post does not include FE GBs. CDM? What does this mean? A bit too much time and effort needed to make it useful IMHO. Diamonds can buy FPs and goods. At Level 1, you can stuff 4 Chalets from the same age and it will provide 38 more population than the Tower of Babel. Build this at all costs! Just flat coins. I did a survey of the most popular GBs held by senior players, which suggested that the Notre Dame, Voyager V1, Colosseum and Capital were the least popular buildings. Don't make this a priority, but it's still a nice building to have. Below I will also give some ideas of how to obtain other formulas when I cannot establish them myself. Research-wise, you simply end up being held up by unlock costs of technologies. For the purposes of the latter issue, I made a table where I estimated the output value of GBs in the Early, High and Late Middle Ages, with an assumed standard set of houses and supply production buildings. Space (medals) have the next palpable value. Oh yeah, Space Age Asteroid Belt and Space Age Venus' GB's won't be featured, as they are too early to judge as of now. However, the high level players are unlikely to level their HS higher than lvl 10 as there are other FP GBs that give you more bang for your buck. Bronze age goods that you can produce cheaply AND a (i.e.) TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Buildings are one of the fundamental mechanics of Forge of Empires. This author has missed the point a little. Thank you Agent327, that is exactly what I needed. As we all know, the worst bonuses for a Great Building is flat coins, supplies or even happiness. Probably not). Cathedral + 4 Gambrel houses + happiness bldgs => around 65 squares, provides 19120 coins/day at level 10. So the best comparison would be. etc. If anyone knows a formula I don't, I will add it here and credit your input. Gives an increased chance of gaining blueprints while aiding. Attack and defense bonus for units in both attacking and defending armies. Take it to 10 after the other 3 combat buildings. Useless gold and not enough happiness to make it worthwhile. Start with Zeus, Lighthouse, Hagia, Aachen, Castel, Relics, Alcatraz, Cape. The happiness it gives is extremely valuable, as on Level 10, it provides over 10,000 happiness (which is ironic considering that prison is probably the word you least asscociate with happiness), which is a lot, and it's happiness per space is higher than all non-premium buildings up until The Future. Method Two: Put Forge Points On Great Buildings. For one, at this level, 44 is not a lot of space. (Reality will be different of course, but it is a useful gauge/estimate). Anyway, the Castel could have been better. Hopefully all the gb's aren't up and at those levels. However, in saying you dont understand why players max out their fp producing GBs, you are ignoring the fp exchange aspect of the game. Im unclear why it doesnt seem to increase the attack stats accordingly. I built the Castel del Monte during the Modern Era, and hands down, this is the best Great Building in the game. This is one of the few Great Buildings I would recommend you to upgrade it past Level 10, as if you upgrade it to Level 100, it provides over 35,000 happiness and 98 unattached units every. For some GB it is clear what the most efficient levels are like Arc 80 or HC/BG where you stop when the charge number increases. Lighthouse of Alexandria (37.1%, AA: 185%), 12. Personally, I recommend the Lighthouse and the Hagia Sophia as two of the best GBs in the game (so far, at least). This "Great Building" wastes you 42 squares, that's 4 entire expansions. Again, it will soon be obsolete. Unfortunately the other benefit of this GB is to provide forge points, at the same rate as the Hagia Sophia (+6 each day). Also, the goods required to build it are mostly useless to me at this stage. The beauty of the GB is that it's passive, so long as it's collected the guild is [] How to Get Ahead-of-Age Great Buildings | Forge of Empires Guides - [] you aren't alone in those thoughts. Bottom line: take it for the coin production, or if you are in an aggressive neighbourhood. Not sure I understand the low rating on the Tower of Babel. Theres a lot to be said for GBs where the output benefit improves as you progress through the ages. The going price for alcatraz goods is around 500 FPs. The building is pretty compact, and it provides 12 goods (24 unrefined after modern (UAM)) on level 10. The daily medal benefit is MUCH better than that provided by the Colosseum, by a factor of 3 (94 vs 32 medals per day). Im not sure that its really worth this size of building, but at least it will eventually pay for the space that it uses. To level your Great Building, you need to contribute a specific amount of Forge Points to the building. Himeji Castle: 5, 10, 16, or 58 post-Arc. For the first number of times you are plundered, there is a certain chance the plunder attempt will be repelled and the attacker will gain nothing. I hope someone could look at my city and help me understand the game better. If you, like most players, don't care about city defence, then you get the same bonus from two levels on the other three buildings. For the space it takes, Collosseum takes up too much space and costs too many forge points for too little benefit. Any GB that can boost your Goods, Coins or Supplies production is necessary as well: The Lighthouse, St. Marks, RA Hall, Chateau, Frau, Dynamic Tower. It takes me 4 days to get goods which I can in turn sell for 500 FPS. A close second for worthless is Nortre Dame. better than that of the Lighthouse, while needing twice as much space, and having a greater initial goods cost. St Marks is large (66), provides a better daily Goods output than the Lighthouse, and boosts coin production. Firstly once youve built a GB you wont want to delete it. Right now, less than 170 people have the Lotus Temple, which is justridiculous. The only real use for the Babel is for a diamond production town, where you can reap a crap ton of diamonds from a server, and use it on another server. An amount of Forge Points every 24 hours. Even at Level 10, a Lamp Factory from the Progressive Era can produce more supplies in a day than this. Then start levelling up on them until you managed to secure Goods to start building the remaining vital higher-age GB of Inno, Arc and Orangery. ZUES.Very Good should be built by everybody as it gives you a boost that will be useful for your entire playing of the game as long as you actually do some fighting, which is impossible not to if you want to go through the map. Is there a list anywhere that shows optimal level to take GBs to? Subtracting the Statues space (for same benefits), it seems that 19 squares of the Castel are used for the forge point production, which means that the Hagia is producing 6400 happiness from 23 squares (vs only 3900 happiness for the Notre Dames 24 squares). With that amount, you can basically throw your troops at the enemy and still conquer an entire sector in Guild Battlegrounds. The (maxed) daily output of 19750 coins (much less than the pre 0.26 output) is weaker than that from St Marks (which is a larger GB), but much better than the Cathedral of Aachen (same size, but earlier age). Its not the worst GB, but its close! The Statue (and Cathedral etc.) I think most people would rather spend around 500,000 supplies than over 2500 Forge Points for happiness. Dont bother. If you dont invest in military buildings early and level them up, you will be a helpless victim in the Progressive era. The payback time is years. I am a relatively advanced player there is some variance depending on your playing style, but mathematically, the worst building in the game is clearly the coliseum.
