To enable the generation of Forge Points, the Innovation Tower must be connected to a street. As for all great buildings a single lane is sufficient. With its 6×6 footprint, the Innovation Tower is one of the largest buildings in Forge of Empires. Its construction needs to be well thought out because the space in the city always is limited. At level 40, your Chateau Frontenac will provide 5,200 medals each time they come up. Depending on how often you do recurring quests, that can be 15,000 medals a day. Even at lower levels, a level 15 Chateau at Iron Age can easily provide 200 medals a day depending on your city set up whilst also providing 100 goods. The Defense Boost is a feature of some buildings and items to increase the defense value of either the defensive units or the attacking units by a certain percentage. The defense boost can also be activated from the Friends Tavern by paying for it with Tavern Silver. The defense boost for the attacking army is counted separately from the defending army. In both cases it only benefits the Statue of Zeus (Zeus), Cathedral of Aachen (COA), & Castle del Monte (CDM) These are otherwise known as the “fighting trifecta”. Generally speaking, if you like to get through GE via fighting, attack your neighborhood, or fight to win sectors in GvG; you need this combination of buildings. All three of these items are used to unlock your tech tree, which is how you advance in age. They’re also used to negotiate in Guild Expedition (GE), and to unlock more levels. Plus, you need coins and supplies to build your armies when you’ve finished sacrificing them to the maps, and for making goods. If your guild participates in GvG One of the most important resources in Forge of Empires is the people who live in your territory. And to increase the population, you need to build buildings, of which there are a lot in the game. The best choice for experienced players is Great Buildings, but to build it, in addition to the usual resources, you will need to get a lot of Buildings may be deleted either during construction or afterward, but goods spent are not returned. A building may be completed immediately with the expenditure of 50 diamonds. The guild goods required to build a province building are dependent on the ages of players in the guild, not on the ages of goods actually in the guild treasury. Balance/Details: As stated, there are already speed ups for coin and supply collections, so a building speed up would not change much or require a complete overhaul. Plus the dynamics already there as the Tavern has the building boosts, as pointed out. Could be a reward in Events, Quests, as a prize in GE or GBG, whether for full completion, as f4Gdy6.
