@UBERnerd14 - As this event draws to a close I'd like to thank you for the spreadsheets provided for the Town task interface and the mini-challenge sequences. I've never been able to complete one of the latter before but was able to complete the second one this time around. The Town Task list takes tons of painful decision-making out of the experience. Nice job!
Greetings from Salt Lake City ! Your spreadsheets are a work of genius. Thanks for putting in the tremendous time and effort in making them. I'm actually sitting this event out. But just wanted to share the appreciation for your hard work that's all.
First of all, congratulations for the way you edit your videos... there are no words in the dictionary to praise your work. I'd like to ask/comment about the Escutcheon Strategy....is it really compatible with the Alaricus mini-challenges? Since some of the Alaricus tasks ask to upgrade some overseers to even level 4... Would those upgrades somehow affect the results on the Escutcheon Strategy? Thanks a lot again and again for your time and effort. And please forgive my poor use of the English language. Please do let me know if I didn't explain myself clearly enough. Ta.
Thanks a lot for this great video and such an impressive bunch of spreadsheets. It's highly appreciated indeed. Now, I have a few questions: 1. If we already have an overseer upgraded, will the rival count it as the quest done already? Whether it's asking for "Any" to certain level or the specific overseer? 2. When does the rival come in this minigame? 3. The dynamic spreadsheet are really good, but it seems to me they suite lot more for 'Watermill Wishes' strategy. For 'Escutcheon Endeavor', how many tasks should we complete. You said ignore yellow recommendations. But what about the green ones? 4. In the video you mentioned we will get 2 Escutcheon Estates by doing both rival challenges. But your spreadsheet of rival challenges has only one of those listed, the reward on completion of 2nd rivals' 28th quest. Have something changed after the beta related to rewards of those rivals? 5. Which building is the milestone of of 2nd rival's 32nd reward? The spreadsheet doesn't mention the name, and from the picture I can't grasp which building is that. Thank you.
1. Yes 2. Tuesdays, as always 3. Just ignore tasks, really. 4. Well... guess we'll have to wait and see until the first mini challenge, eh? 5. Trailside smithy. Provides fragments for the Sunhaven Palace.
@@UBERnerd14 Many many thanks. Actually I've returned to this game after a long break. So haven't played any events recently. Lots of things are pretty new. And your video, and your spreadsheets, and every other information you've provided has been greatly helpful to me. I really appreciate all your efforts for making these hard things easier for us.
@@UBERnerd14 - Ah! My understanding was that Town 1 was the first town AFTER the short intro town as the Town Select list goes First Town, Town 1 Town 2, Town 3, etc.
Very much appreciate these guides. Too bad a SPREADSHEET or two or three are required to effectively complete these events! They are getting so time consuming. Thanks for sharing!
RIVALS quests 6,14,22,30 (fight/negotiate without losing) I think these are the ones we had in beta and getting GE80 does not auto complete this task...correct?
Anyone have a clever ideas on how best to "Recruit 5 units from the previous age" besides building re-building the barracks etc.? I'm stuck at that one. However, the combination of UBERnerds spreadsheets got me father than I ever have before in the rival challenges, which demonstrates one advantage to this type of mini-game.
@@LandinK-l1y It's as fun as a bag of rocks lol, that being said the echen was nerfed 3 times and you will probably need to do 18 cities if you want to get the gold league prizes just my take on it.
Many thanks for your helpful video and particularly for the astoundingly good spreadsheets. Also thanks to MooingCat of course. Chapeau to you both! Duly subscribed.
Love the spreadsheets. I wonder if I have an older one. I see a few errors, maybe one or two per town. Like a reference to flowershop instead of spice merchant. And some tasks don't quite match. I don't think town 3 has a level 200 spice merchant task.
@@UBERnerd14 "Upgrade the Gourmet Butchery to level 2" should include the word overseer & "flower factory overseer" are in town 1. Do I have an older spreadsheet?
This is the 1st event in 5 years that won't participate. I don't mind spending more time and getting good rewards, or getting worse rewards, but spending less time. This mini game requires too much time for rewards that are not not good enough. Escutcheon Estate was very nice in beta, but it was rebalanced badly. I don't see any rewards that are attainable (without spending cash) that are worth my time.
My brain hurts lol I’ve made a lot of positive gains in the 5 months I’ve played… most from event buildings. And watching your videos of course 😊 I’m going for the eskutchan??? Lol Or multiples of Any GBG help I can get I will take I’m learning because of you dawg 🙏
Thanks as always for your work on the spreadsheets! On the MiniChallenge task list, 2nd Beta, I see you have 4 tasks in red. Does that mean you think they will require current age goods production buildings? Thanks
Hello Uber, first of all, thank you for the great spreadsheet Guide! And secondly, I'm trying to get Gold rank in the event, but I'm already a few quests behind. Do you perhaps know how I can use diamonds to get the best value/number of quests out of them?
More or less, it's to play towns faster. So level your banquet and coachman to label 4, and if that's not enough, you may need to use time skips here and there
Thanks Uber for the video! I have a question for the mini challenges. What buildings work for the quest about goods production? Space colony? Also i checked the special buildings and none have an option for 4-hour production.
I'm confused about step 14 on the Interface tab of the spreadsheet, column C (14. Upgrade your Flower Factory Overseer to Level 2) as it's the first mention of a 'Flower factory' which I think was only present in the St. Pat's event. Would that be the Spices overseer instead?
@@UBERnerd14 - Further down the list I see "~ Upgrade the Gourmet Butchery to level 2" and "Upgrade your Master Butcher to level 6." It seems like some spots spots have 'Master Butcher' and 'Gourmet Butchery' swapped.
I have two cities and no doubt they will proceed differently no matter how hard I try. How do I have two different spreadsheets to work from or will it be needed? From what I see so far it will.
Great video as usual Uber! Great tutorial! I have a few questions though, if I go the eschutcheon route, you said you can get an average of 5 estates, but can you get another 2 for the mini challenges? Or was that taken in to consideration already? Also, If I do try to get as many estates as possible, and don’t get grand prize points for Alexander, will I still get enough for arminius from the mini challenges?
thanks for the clarification. One final thing, is there a town competition number that will get me a whisperwood mill, and also a few mores estates? Or should I just suck it up and choose one lol. I want both, and can’t decide which I want more.
@@dr.crainium 3:54 You need at least 375 progress to get the Whisperwood Mill to max level, but I strongly recommend going for at least 400 progress (tasks completed) to ALSO get the platinum upgrade for the Heroes Tavern if you are in that vicinity already. Ubernerd actually answered your question at timestamp 7:04 . You need to complete 13 towns' worth of tasks to reach 400 progress. This should leave enough spare gems to buy a full set of reward boxes after TWO towns, for at least ONE Escutcheon (with about a 20% chance of getting two) from town boxes. Make sure to open those reward boxes during the event rather than waiting for your last town though, as costs double if you try to open multiple sets of rewards after one town. Note: the very first town can be completed cheaply (with level 1 overseers) for 11 tasks. After that, most towns can be completed at reasonable cost in about a day (maybe a bit longer), each with about 31-32 tasks completed depending on the town. So to be more precise, you need to finish the first short town, then another 12 complete towns, plus be about halfway through the next town to reach 400 tasks. If you have diamonds, you can also buy additional gems to buy reward boxes after more town completions of course. It works out at about 1750 diamonds per Escutcheon Estate.

Hi! At what point in a town's life cycle is it best to begin the 1st & 2nd mini challenges? Should I postpone starting a new town until the start of the challenge? Ty 🙂
I really enjoy this event, it is like Forge of Empires, time based production and reward. However just landed my first Escutcheon Estate...looking at the stats did they nerf this building? All I see is +50 per recharge cycle....where did goods and troupes go
Does this 'transportation game' follow the same ratios as the St. Pat's party mini game (ice cream, flowers, cakes, etc.)? If so I create a spreadsheet for that one what I could use here. (mine is for a slightly different purpose than yours, which I also found most useful and highly recommend for any experience level of player at this type of game).
Hi.. I have questions : 1. in Mini challenge, there is a quest said "Upgrade any Manager / Overseas to level 3", if I have a Overseas at level 3 before mini challenge / quest start, will this quest auto complete? 2. If i use any time skip, is it also reduce time require to complete a quest? let say I need to collect 15T goods from farm with 8 hrs to complete, if I use time skip will that 8 hrs time also reduce?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I believe your Escutcheon Endeavour strategy is flawed? You cannot finish a town with the Banquet and Carriage overseers at level 2 and leaving all the others at level 1 because many of the tasks require you to level overseers up. You cannot skip these tasks, they stay in your box and once you have 3 of them stacked up you are stuck and cannot make any further progress on the task list. Has anyone actually completed towns successfully following this strategy or is it just a proposal emanating from a spreadsheet used to calculated the minimum gemstone spending?
Yes, you will quickly get locked on tasks. Otherwise, just level buildings as normal until you reach 8.4Q. You don't need to complete tasks in order to finish a town.
@pauldyer8590 Seems like you've missed the basics of that strately completely. When you're going for this Escutcheon Endeavour strategy, you entirely ignore the Tasks list. You don't need to do the tasks for finishing the town. You need 8.4 Q feast provisions. The video and the spreadsheets clearly mention that if you go for this strategy you might not get the main building and Alexander. But you will grab lot more of Escutcheons. PS. I'm playing this game with this strategy in two worlds. And it's working perfectly fine.
Thanks all for the clarification. I am only following this strategy through being unable to start the minigame until day 5 due to a holiday with limited online connectivity. I would normally go for the event building. So I am following this in all 3 cities and now on the 4th town in each. Working ok, but in one so far have received the minimum number of Escutcheon fragments every time 🤢🤢
Hi 1st off thanks for the guides and spreadsheets without which this would be impossible one question According to your vidio we will need to buy time skips to complete the second mini event but your spreadsheet shows a surplus of 3 skips, help required
I believe you're confusing the quest with the 4/8-hour timeskip. It's not 2 pieces of 2-hour timeskip, but 4 pieces of 2-hour timeskip. Similarly, the 8-hour one would require 8 pieces of 2-hour timeskip. Is that correct? @UBERnerd14
Some comparisons of the Main Building vs side building: every number down below is PER TILE, and the Boosts are for the highest Age Watermill (MainB.) FP: 2.123 Goods: 5.077 GuildGoods: 3.8 Total boosts: 7.96% Estate (SideB.) FP: 1.56 NextAgeGoods: 3.1 Total Boosts: 12% Conclusion: Main Building is better for FP and it gives good amounts of Goods and Guildgoods, but getting increased with Blue Galaxy, and also it has a room. The Side Building is better for Military Boosts, it has Next Age Goods, and gives some QI Actions (assuming you go for this building, the avg. of 5 building give a total of 250 extra QI Actions per hour)
Yeah but you also got to count boosts from ally since you can only put 1 in timeless junction so you need at least 1 main building so thats extra 60% attack boost for main building
@ondrejbartos8019 yeah true, but also I don't know how to handle these rooms. Assuming there will be more rooms than historical allies in the future, it doesn't really matter, whether we use this buildings room, or some other buildings room. Vice versa, if there will be more allies, then every room is very valuable, but since it doesn't really matter which ally goes in which building, how do we Attribute the boosts to which building? Anyway, here the per tile boosts for the Watermill: No ally: 7.97% Alexander: 9.81% Arminius: 10.74% But again, we could put Arminius in another building, so I'd say one would need to either take the average of all used Allies, or alternative one could take the value of the "best not yet in use ally". So with these two allies optained, and the other building with room, that we got for free already containing Arminius, the best unused ally would be Alexander, and so we would take this value... But thats gonna change with every upcoming ally... Ah, I don't know.
You forgot the most important part : the 10 fragments of "finish special production". Does are insane for a 4x4. You can use those on any gold league reward to create some more buildings. I plan to get about a dozen of those.
@@UBERnerd14I made one. I'm using the st. Patrick's one atm, as I know what is what. In my google sheets, If I use the app I can tick the boxes, although there are #/ref errors everywhere. It's a pity, I got free gold league both in fellowship 23 and St. Patrick's 24 because of these spreadsheet. It's very well built.
Question on the spreadsheet. Where do I locate the create your own strategy section? I remember it being just below the strategies description section but it is not there in my copy of your spreadsheet which I copied today.
Enable images. There should be a banner at the top, but it may not show on mobile. You may have to open the spreadsheet in a browser in desktop mode to enable them
I don't have the time to create stuff only for a tool that a subset of players on one version of the game can use, so no. If you have any lists from previous events, they should work fine with FoE helper.
For the "recruit units from a lower age" quest - does it work to use the Traz? Pop down an earlier building, dont even need to wait for the build to complete, collect the traz? would be instant complete if that worked
@@UBERnerd14 You can also do an other level, if you're in trouble, or wait for the mini challenge to grow the space hub new GB (forgot the name sorry), wich is basicly in mini traz^^
I have last years step by step guide done off in a notebook so it’s quicker to bring up on my computer, I’m not a lover of spreadsheets and fid this better will that one be good?
Just returning to the game after a looooooooong break. there is so much new stuff.... this might seem like a dumb question, but where is the mini quests? or when do they start ?
So, been gone for almost 3 years and I don’t recall a more confusing prize structure. What is the “grand prize” number dependent on??? Versus the task prizes u get ??
@@UBERnerd14 yeah, k was so confused but now I see it just starts back over at 1 after u get ur grand prize. Seems like a no-brainer but coming back after 3nyears, I think I’m over complicating things. lol.
Excellent video (as always), horrible event. You mentioned, if going for EE’s, to ignore the listed recommended levels for overseers, do we also ignore the recommended leveling’s of the buildings? I also assume we’ll want to play the 1st town as a regular (rather than shortened) town to give us time to save up 1400 gems before finishing it, correct?
Yes, ignore the recommended levels. Level 2 for banquet and wagon, level 1 for everything else. You just need 8.4Q every 3 days, so you can more or less ignore tasks and just level buildings normally.
@@UBERnerd14 umm… sorry but this doesn’t seem right…. I’ve got the banquet and carriage at level 2 each with a level 2 overseer; the spice emporium at level 2 (because the tutorial requires it) with a level 1 overseer; and the juice at level 1 with a level 1. FoE helper says I’m making 151k per hour. So in 3 days that would be 3.6M (151k/hour x 24 hr/day x 3 days= 3624k), orders of magnitude short of the 8.4Q needed on a normal town. FoE helper says the bottleneck is at the banquet itself, so opening the other factories won’t help.
@@UBERnerd14 oh, ok, I see now your “yes” was answering my second question, not my first. “Level buildings normally” meaning following the spreadsheet, gotcha, sorry. I’m now up to 15.1M per hour, and saving up to build the farm.
Do you mean, at the top of the screen, in the list of available rewards, the fourth slot had a summerhold? Or do you mean you opened your fourth box and got a summerhold kit?
I don’t understand this interactive spreadsheet at all. Maybe I’m just a big fat idiot. But all I want is to see is the skippable tasks, the link on the spreed sheet doesn’t open anything 🤷♀️
got me interested with the giveaway, I entered the link and it says the winner has been already chosen.. waste of time apperently.. I do like free staff but this is impossible to get unless I spend time watching for the start of the event.. and even then there is only one winner among thousands.. I wish there were prizes for those who care enough to press the link and not only for Chosen ones..
@@UBERnerd14 I'm honored that you took your time to respond.. just expressing my disappointment as I probably should've lowered my expectations.. will know for next time and maybe I'll try to apply once more.
Many thanks for the work involved in the spreadsheets, however there appears to be a problem in that when I try to scroll down to see the rest of any of the sheets it flicks to column Z and line 980 and asks whether I want to add another 1000 rows. Moving back to the top and left does not solve the problem. Any ideas?
So many of these videos refer to "Towns , 2, 3 and 4..." int his evet. But so far I don't see anything in the event that tells you what number town you are in... where is this info?
It's not really told to you in game. But there are three task lists and they rotate through them, so based on the tasks you can figure out what town you're on (see the spreadsheet).
I want to try for the middle strategy but already did the 1st town without following your guide. Do I still have a god shot at it? I finished 35 tasks out of 38 and only increased my helper guys half way
@@UBERnerd14 Sure, apologies though - it’s a bit retrospective. Thought if you were playing with it’s release today that you might have seen. Example on town 1.19 upgrade flower factor? That’s last year yeah? Intro town was something to do with the 99B task popping up and not on the list (I think). And on town 1 there was an error to do with the butcher but can’t remember what it is. Haven’t made any notes, just wanted to make you aware incase you were at a spot of reviewing.
I'm New player, I'm not stupid, but couldn't create a more complicated game, so,if i press by mistake on something wrong, i use marbles or something i loose the chance to use them for another thing maybe more important, to open box ,or fssss.... Stupid...
Don't worry, first time is the hardest 😂😂 The first st patrick' day event I did, I didn't get it and it pissed me off bad (no yt video or anything). Now I can event do it on my phone just fine, without foe helper. I recomand you focus on the estate, in the long-run, it will be extremly useful (the "finish special" will be killers once you get a gold league reward of the building that you love).
What are the odds that I'll be able to use the heroes in other buildings in the future? I can always place the 90 att gbg in the 2x2 building but only 1 right?
I hate this event game. It's being repeated ad nauseum. It sucks the life out of me. And I have a real life. No thanks. No event building is worth spending most of my time in this game.
Yeah, it was much better when you could just do the quests when you had time and then spend all the event currency when there was something you wanted. Summer and Christmas event are my favourites, just because of that.
It can, but remember that the Timeless Junction can only have one ally - if you participate in this event and get both Alexander and Arminius, you'll have 3 Allies, so if you want to use them all you'd need more buildings with rooms.
@UBERnerd14 Yes one slot for each ally. The default ally we were given is just so so. Will see how things unfold. Thanks Uber - great channel you have here. I/We appreciate it
you said that there will be a platinum upgrade package for the heroes' tavern in the event, however, in the spreadsheet of the second challenge, this upgrade does not appear. So what is the truth? P.S. Good job with the video :))
so what is the best way to do task 27 recruit from previous age if i don't have Traz anymore and in 8 hrs or so new era comes out as well? IM in SAT and was going ot move up to SASH 1st thing but not sure how the previous army will go in GE, anybody got idea's
Either: 1. Find a building in your inventory from a previous age that provides units (knights pavilion, governor's villa, etc), and use one ups/renos to get it to be the previous age. 2. Rebuild traz 3. Age up and leave behind some buildings that produce units
How do I add the interactive to my phone? All it lets me do is copy it, but I don’t know where I’m supposed to put it. Thanks to anyone that can explain.
It would only cost 1850 per set if you opened them individually - opening them all via the discount of 1400 gemstones would be 9800 gemstones required. As per how many you get, the questline gives 11200 and more can be gained from incidents and the mini challenges.
I was unable to view them also, I had to delete files to make room on my Google account. I can now view and I was able to make a copy. May want to try that.
Hard disagree with mosts of the comments here. I hated the cards game and hope it never returns. But this event and the Saint Patrick's event are the only exciting ones for me. This is the only kind of event I like taking part in. So happy it's back!

This is the 1st event in 5 years that won't participate. I don't mind spending more time and getting good rewards, or getting worse rewards, but spending less time. This mini game requires too much time for rewards that are not not good enough. Escutcheon Estate was very nice in beta, but it was rebalanced badly.

@@UBERnerd14 do the titan colony goods buildings count for this task, or do I have to build a goods building in my main city?
I’ve never played this one before but it feels rather complicated. But the video does help a bit.
My brain hurts lol
I’ve made a lot of positive gains in the 5 months I’ve played… most from event buildings.
And watching your videos of course 😊
I’m going for the eskutchan??? Lol Or multiples of
Any GBG help I can get I will take
I’m learning because of you dawg 🙏
Very interesting that completing both minichallenges nets extra currency. Usually it's the most expensive lol
Thanks as always for your work on the spreadsheets! On the MiniChallenge task list, 2nd Beta, I see you have 4 tasks in red. Does that mean you think they will require current age goods production buildings? Thanks
Nope. Just that they are more expensive (either use or buy time skips) and require a goods building.
@@UBERnerd14 OK thank you
Hello Uber, first of all, thank you for the great spreadsheet Guide! And secondly, I'm trying to get Gold rank in the event, but I'm already a few quests behind. Do you perhaps know how I can use diamonds to get the best value/number of quests out of them?
More or less, it's to play towns faster. So level your banquet and coachman to label 4, and if that's not enough, you may need to use time skips here and there
thanks ubernerd - you really are the spreadsheet king haha!
Why in file Excel there is only one Escutcheon Estate in the 2nd Rivals, but in the videos you put Two Estate as rewards? Thanks for the answer.
Guess we'll have to wait and see what the second live server'smini challenge has, now won't we 😉
The challenge item "Use any Time Skip once" is kind of odd . . . Isn't there only one kind of time skip, The King's Chronometer?
No, since you can also buy the time skips with gemstones for 2, 4, and 8 hours. Those bought ones also count for the quest.
Thanks Uber for the video!
I have a question for the mini challenges. What buildings work for the quest about goods production? Space colony? Also i checked the special buildings and none have an option for 4-hour production.
Is there a town/task step by step guide for the Escutcheon strategy?
Hard to get those pots of gold and shamrocks out of the system eh? :)
Thank you for the excellent spreadsheet!
I'm confused about step 14 on the Interface tab of the spreadsheet, column C (14. Upgrade your Flower Factory Overseer to Level 2) as it's the first mention of a 'Flower factory' which I think was only present in the St. Pat's event. Would that be the Spices overseer instead?
Juice. It's been fixed in the spreadsheet, but you'd have to re-copy it.
@@UBERnerd14 - Further down the list I see "~ Upgrade the Gourmet Butchery to level 2" and "Upgrade your Master Butcher to level 6." It seems like some spots spots have 'Master Butcher' and 'Gourmet Butchery' swapped.
What building is now better in Stats, FP and Goods?
I have two cities and no doubt they will proceed differently no matter how hard I try. How do I have two different spreadsheets to work from or will it be needed? From what I see so far it will.
Great video as usual Uber! Great tutorial! I have a few questions though, if I go the eschutcheon route, you said you can get an average of 5 estates, but can you get another 2 for the mini challenges? Or was that taken in to consideration already? Also, If I do try to get as many estates as possible, and don’t get grand prize points for Alexander, will I still get enough for arminius from the mini challenges?
The mini challenges are counted as extra. And Arminius is only available from the second challenge, so if you complete it, you get the entire ally.
thanks for the clarification. One final thing, is there a town competition number that will get me a whisperwood mill, and also a few mores estates? Or should I just suck it up and choose one lol. I want both, and can’t decide which I want more.
@@dr.crainium 3:54 You need at least 375 progress to get the Whisperwood Mill to max level, but I strongly recommend going for at least 400 progress (tasks completed) to ALSO get the platinum upgrade for the Heroes Tavern if you are in that vicinity already. Ubernerd actually answered your question at timestamp 7:04 . You need to complete 13 towns' worth of tasks to reach 400 progress. This should leave enough spare gems to buy a full set of reward boxes after TWO towns, for at least ONE Escutcheon (with about a 20% chance of getting two) from town boxes. Make sure to open those reward boxes during the event rather than waiting for your last town though, as costs double if you try to open multiple sets of rewards after one town.
Note: the very first town can be completed cheaply (with level 1 overseers) for 11 tasks. After that, most towns can be completed at reasonable cost in about a day (maybe a bit longer), each with about 31-32 tasks completed depending on the town. So to be more precise, you need to finish the first short town, then another 12 complete towns, plus be about halfway through the next town to reach 400 tasks.
If you have diamonds, you can also buy additional gems to buy reward boxes after more town completions of course. It works out at about 1750 diamonds per Escutcheon Estate.

Thanks for all your effort!!
Hi! At what point in a town's life cycle is it best to begin the 1st & 2nd mini challenges? Should I postpone starting a new town until the start of the challenge? Ty 🙂
It would probably be easiest to postpone a new town
I really enjoy this event, it is like Forge of Empires, time based production and reward. However just landed my first Escutcheon Estate...looking at the stats did they nerf this building? All I see is +50 per recharge cycle....where did goods and troupes go
That was changed while it was on Beta. The actions got heavily buffed
@@UBERnerd14 many of the buildings in this event lost there good stats, were any improved? I guess best option is the Manor now
Does this 'transportation game' follow the same ratios as the St. Pat's party mini game (ice cream, flowers, cakes, etc.)? If so I create a spreadsheet for that one what I could use here. (mine is for a slightly different purpose than yours, which I also found most useful and highly recommend for any experience level of player at this type of game).
Hi.. I have questions :
1. in Mini challenge, there is a quest said "Upgrade any Manager / Overseas to level 3", if I have a Overseas at level 3 before mini challenge / quest start, will this quest auto complete?
2. If i use any time skip, is it also reduce time require to complete a quest? let say I need to collect 15T goods from farm with 8 hrs to complete, if I use time skip will that 8 hrs time also reduce?
Yes and yes :)
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I believe your Escutcheon Endeavour strategy is flawed?
You cannot finish a town with the Banquet and Carriage overseers at level 2 and leaving all the others at level 1 because many of the tasks require you to level overseers up. You cannot skip these tasks, they stay in your box and once you have 3 of them stacked up you are stuck and cannot make any further progress on the task list.
Has anyone actually completed towns successfully following this strategy or is it just a proposal emanating from a spreadsheet used to calculated the minimum gemstone spending?
Yes, you will quickly get locked on tasks. Otherwise, just level buildings as normal until you reach 8.4Q. You don't need to complete tasks in order to finish a town.
@pauldyer8590 Seems like you've missed the basics of that strately completely. When you're going for this Escutcheon Endeavour strategy, you entirely ignore the Tasks list. You don't need to do the tasks for finishing the town. You need 8.4 Q feast provisions. The video and the spreadsheets clearly mention that if you go for this strategy you might not get the main building and Alexander. But you will grab lot more of Escutcheons.
PS. I'm playing this game with this strategy in two worlds. And it's working perfectly fine.
Thanks all for the clarification. I am only following this strategy through being unable to start the minigame until day 5 due to a holiday with limited online connectivity. I would normally go for the event building. So I am following this in all 3 cities and now on the 4th town in each. Working ok, but in one so far have received the minimum number of Escutcheon fragments every time 🤢🤢
Hi 1st off thanks for the guides and spreadsheets without which this would be impossible one question
According to your vidio we will need to buy time skips to complete the second mini event but your spreadsheet shows a surplus of 3 skips, help required
Not sure where you're getting a surplus of three! Just keep an eye on the sheet for when it gets updated on Monday
I believe you're confusing the quest with the 4/8-hour timeskip. It's not 2 pieces of 2-hour timeskip, but 4 pieces of 2-hour timeskip. Similarly, the 8-hour one would require 8 pieces of 2-hour timeskip. Is that correct? @UBERnerd14
We'll see on Monday 😉
Some comparisons of the Main Building vs side building: every number down below is PER TILE, and the Boosts are for the highest Age
Watermill (MainB.)
FP: 2.123
Goods: 5.077
GuildGoods: 3.8
Total boosts: 7.96%
Estate (SideB.)
FP: 1.56
NextAgeGoods: 3.1
Total Boosts: 12%
Conclusion: Main Building is better for FP and it gives good amounts of Goods and Guildgoods, but getting increased with Blue Galaxy, and also it has a room.
The Side Building is better for Military Boosts, it has Next Age Goods, and gives some QI Actions (assuming you go for this building, the avg. of 5 building give a total of 250 extra QI Actions per hour)
Yeah but you also got to count boosts from ally since you can only put 1 in timeless junction so you need at least 1 main building so thats extra 60% attack boost for main building
@ondrejbartos8019 yeah true, but also I don't know how to handle these rooms. Assuming there will be more rooms than historical allies in the future, it doesn't really matter, whether we use this buildings room, or some other buildings room.
Vice versa, if there will be more allies, then every room is very valuable, but since it doesn't really matter which ally goes in which building, how do we Attribute the boosts to which building?
Anyway, here the per tile boosts for the Watermill:
No ally: 7.97%
Alexander: 9.81%
Arminius: 10.74%
But again, we could put Arminius in another building, so I'd say one would need to either take the average of all used Allies, or alternative one could take the value of the "best not yet in use ally". So with these two allies optained, and the other building with room, that we got for free already containing Arminius, the best unused ally would be Alexander, and so we would take this value... But thats gonna change with every upcoming ally... Ah, I don't know.
You forgot the most important part : the 10 fragments of "finish special production". Does are insane for a 4x4. You can use those on any gold league reward to create some more buildings. I plan to get about a dozen of those.
I am blind or where can i see the mini-challenges? when they appear? Great video btw :)
They will run on Tuesdays, as usual
@@UBERnerd14 Thank you!
Any suggestions how to farm fight/negotiations at upcoming mini challenges? Neighbors are not enough
Guild expeditions
Thanks for your hard work. Where is the giveaway special code?
It's in the video :)
The interactive spreadsheet looks broken. It's not possible to tick boxes or change towns
Make a copy of it so that you can edit it
@@UBERnerd14I made one. I'm using the st. Patrick's one atm, as I know what is what.
In my google sheets, If I use the app I can tick the boxes, although there are #/ref errors everywhere.
It's a pity, I got free gold league both in fellowship 23 and St. Patrick's 24 because of these spreadsheet. It's very well built.
The reference errors are because you have not allowed the spreadsheet to load images. There should be a yellow bar at the top
@@UBERnerd14 many thanks mate. I could only allow the images via my computer. All working now!
Question on the spreadsheet. Where do I locate the create your own strategy section? I remember it being just below the strategies description section but it is not there in my copy of your spreadsheet which I copied today.
Correct. That doesn't exist in this iteration of the sheet.
I think someone may have messed with ypur spreadsheet?
Toens and overseers arent shown now and many cells just have REF in them
Enable images. There should be a banner at the top, but it may not show on mobile. You may have to open the spreadsheet in a browser in desktop mode to enable them
Thx Uber. E-estate(s) for me. No instructions to input into helper?
I don't have the time to create stuff only for a tool that a subset of players on one version of the game can use, so no. If you have any lists from previous events, they should work fine with FoE helper.
For the "recruit units from a lower age" quest - does it work to use the Traz? Pop down an earlier building, dont even need to wait for the build to complete, collect the traz? would be instant complete if that worked
Traz would work, but remember not to collect it early!
Are there other strategies other tham just building a units building? I delete my traz xd
I am using a knights pavilion from a previous age that I have in my inventory
@@UBERnerd14 thank you that works for me
@@UBERnerd14 You can also do an other level, if you're in trouble, or wait for the mini challenge to grow the space hub new GB (forgot the name sorry), wich is basicly in mini traz^^
@UBERnerd14 who won the Jolly Oink Pigsty?
A winner has been chosen, but I'm waiting to post their name until I can confirm the prize was delivered. So, soon :)
I have last years step by step guide done off in a notebook so it’s quicker to bring up on my computer, I’m not a lover of spreadsheets and fid this better will that one be good?
Just returning to the game after a looooooooong break. there is so much new stuff.... this might seem like a dumb question, but where is the mini quests? or when do they start ?
Tuesday at 8am server time
@@UBERnerd14 thanks! i felt like i took crazy pills while looking for for it and not being able to find it
So, been gone for almost 3 years and I don’t recall a more confusing prize structure. What is the “grand prize” number dependent on??? Versus the task prizes u get ??
Grand prize progress is the number of tasks you complete
@@UBERnerd14 yeah, k was so confused but now I see it just starts back over at 1 after u get ur grand prize. Seems like a no-brainer but coming back after 3nyears, I think I’m over complicating things. lol.
A lot has changed since then! Kudos to you for asking the questions :)
Excellent video (as always), horrible event.
You mentioned, if going for EE’s, to ignore the listed recommended levels for overseers, do we also ignore the recommended leveling’s of the buildings? I also assume we’ll want to play the 1st town as a regular (rather than shortened) town to give us time to save up 1400 gems before finishing it, correct?
Yes, ignore the recommended levels. Level 2 for banquet and wagon, level 1 for everything else. You just need 8.4Q every 3 days, so you can more or less ignore tasks and just level buildings normally.
@@UBERnerd14 many thanks! 🙏
@@UBERnerd14 umm… sorry but this doesn’t seem right…. I’ve got the banquet and carriage at level 2 each with a level 2 overseer; the spice emporium at level 2 (because the tutorial requires it) with a level 1 overseer; and the juice at level 1 with a level 1. FoE helper says I’m making 151k per hour. So in 3 days that would be 3.6M (151k/hour x 24 hr/day x 3 days= 3624k), orders of magnitude short of the 8.4Q needed on a normal town. FoE helper says the bottleneck is at the banquet itself, so opening the other factories won’t help.
@@UBERnerd14 oh, ok, I see now your “yes” was answering my second question, not my first. “Level buildings normally” meaning following the spreadsheet, gotcha, sorry. I’m now up to 15.1M per hour, and saving up to build the farm.
Thank you so much for this. Can you tell me, where to find the exact name for my world?
Video on how to do that is on the giveaway entry form :)
@@UBERnerd14 wow, did not even see that. Ty ♡
It seems the end of town rewards have been rejigged a bit, i opened slot 4 and got summerhold manor
Do you mean, at the top of the screen, in the list of available rewards, the fourth slot had a summerhold? Or do you mean you opened your fourth box and got a summerhold kit?
Is it possible to get the platinum upgrade and Focus on escutcheon estates?
Just ignore my comment yes it is
I don’t understand this interactive spreadsheet at all. Maybe I’m just a big fat idiot. But all I want is to see is the skippable tasks, the link on the spreed sheet doesn’t open anything 🤷♀️
That's on the spreadsheet. Interface page. Red tasks are the ones you skip.
Does the titan age colony goods buildings work for those 4 and 8 hour goods production tasks in rival ?...whats the date for the 1st rival ?
Rivals are on thesday. Not sure about the colony, I usually just put a 3x3 BA good building, cheap & fast, but will try your idea.
got me interested with the giveaway, I entered the link and it says the winner has been already chosen.. waste of time apperently.. I do like free staff but this is impossible to get unless I spend time watching for the start of the event.. and even then there is only one winner among thousands.. I wish there were prizes for those who care enough to press the link and not only for Chosen ones..
Well, yes, there is a giveaway period and that is how giveaways work. You've had a week to enter, and I think that's more than fair.
@@UBERnerd14 I'm honored that you took your time to respond.. just expressing my disappointment as I probably should've lowered my expectations.. will know for next time and maybe I'll try to apply once more.
Many thanks for the work involved in the spreadsheets, however there appears to be a problem in that when I try to scroll down to see the rest of any of the sheets it flicks to column Z and line 980 and asks whether I want to add another 1000 rows. Moving back to the top and left does not solve the problem. Any ideas?
I've never seen that before... not sure how to fix it. It works for me.
So many of these videos refer to "Towns , 2, 3 and 4..." int his evet. But so far I don't see anything in the event that tells you what number town you are in... where is this info?
It's not really told to you in game. But there are three task lists and they rotate through them, so based on the tasks you can figure out what town you're on (see the spreadsheet).
I want to try for the middle strategy but already did the 1st town without following your guide. Do I still have a god shot at it? I finished 35 tasks out of 38 and only increased my helper guys half way
Yeah, you're fine
Does the First Town count as one of the 13 required towns for Strategy 2 -- Watermill Wishes?
Yep
Quite a lot of errors in timeline of town 1 of the static sheet. Couple in the into town timeline
Care to explain what those errors are so I can fix them?
@@UBERnerd14 Sure, apologies though - it’s a bit retrospective. Thought if you were playing with it’s release today that you might have seen. Example on town 1.19 upgrade flower factor? That’s last year yeah? Intro town was something to do with the 99B task popping up and not on the list (I think). And on town 1 there was an error to do with the butcher but can’t remember what it is. Haven’t made any notes, just wanted to make you aware incase you were at a spot of reviewing.
The flower factory and butchery have been fixed, recopy the sheet?
Thank you for your wrk, but i have diffrent tasks, than its in your spreadshet
I did too until I realized I was looking at the task list for the wrong city.
I'm New player, I'm not stupid, but couldn't create a more complicated game, so,if i press by mistake on something wrong, i use marbles or something i loose the chance to use them for another thing maybe more important, to open box ,or fssss.... Stupid...
Don't worry, first time is the hardest 😂😂 The first st patrick' day event I did, I didn't get it and it pissed me off bad (no yt video or anything). Now I can event do it on my phone just fine, without foe helper. I recomand you focus on the estate, in the long-run, it will be extremly useful (the "finish special" will be killers once you get a gold league reward of the building that you love).
What are the odds that I'll be able to use the heroes in other buildings in the future? I can always place the 90 att gbg in the 2x2 building but only 1 right?
Is there really a platinum upgrade foe Heroes tavern in the second challenge? I cant find it in the spreadsheet.
The questline for the second challenge on live servers has not been added yet.
I hate this event game. It's being repeated ad nauseum. It sucks the life out of me. And I have a real life. No thanks. No event building is worth spending most of my time in this game.
Yeah, it was much better when you could just do the quests when you had time and then spend all the event currency when there was something you wanted. Summer and Christmas event are my favourites, just because of that.
Does anyone know if Alexander can be placed in the Timeless Gateway's slot, versus needing the massive event main building?
It can, but remember that the Timeless Junction can only have one ally - if you participate in this event and get both Alexander and Arminius, you'll have 3 Allies, so if you want to use them all you'd need more buildings with rooms.
@UBERnerd14 Yes one slot for each ally. The default ally we were given is just so so. Will see how things unfold. Thanks Uber - great channel you have here. I/We appreciate it
Will the old MooingCat spreadsheet work?
so, story short .... if I am after the main building mainly, should I be opening all the chests after each town or just open the free one?
No no no just the free ones for the most part, but you'll have enough extra gemstones to open all the boxes on two towns
@@UBERnerd14 thanks superbly mate !
How many for the estucheon building?
you said that there will be a platinum upgrade package for the heroes' tavern in the event, however, in the spreadsheet of the second challenge, this upgrade does not appear. So what is the truth?
P.S. Good job with the video :))
That is the questline as it was on Beta. The rewards may have been updated ;)
@@UBERnerd14 Cheers 🥂
so what is the best way to do task 27 recruit from previous age if i don't have Traz anymore and in 8 hrs or so new era comes out as well? IM in SAT and was going ot move up to SASH 1st thing but not sure how the previous army will go in GE, anybody got idea's
Either:
1. Find a building in your inventory from a previous age that provides units (knights pavilion, governor's villa, etc), and use one ups/renos to get it to be the previous age.
2. Rebuild traz
3. Age up and leave behind some buildings that produce units
what if you can't complete the first mini challenge?
will we get alexander fragments again?
i will be shy of 60 fragments
Probably in the future
Unfortunately there is currently no way to get the remaining fragments.
How do I add the interactive to my phone? All it lets me do is copy it, but I don’t know where I’m supposed to put it. Thanks to anyone that can explain.
It copies it to your google drive.
Where are the spreadsheet downloads? Nothing but comments.
See the description
Build a master butcher after levelling it to 14?
It's fixed in the sheet.
Opening all end-of-town boxes 7 times for the Escutcheon Estate would require 12,950 gems (7*1850). Does the game offer/reward that many as you play?
It would only cost 1850 per set if you opened them individually - opening them all via the discount of 1400 gemstones would be 9800 gemstones required. As per how many you get, the questline gives 11200 and more can be gained from incidents and the mini challenges.
If you go for estates, do you lose out on rivals?
Nope!
cant view interactive spread sheet ,says to many viewing this file so sadly lost 10 hours of event :(
That's probably the static one. People are really bad at following directions to just make a copy of it...
I was unable to view them also, I had to delete files to make room on my Google account. I can now view and I was able to make a copy. May want to try that.
How do you start up a mini challenge? I see no way to do it
They start at 8am server time on Tuesdays
CAn I still complete the 2 mini challenges if I go with the 7 towns option?
Yeah. Nothing should stop you from doing so
Watched this video twice, I still have no idea what the fuck a mini challenge is or where to find it.
They've been in the game for a while now. On the tuesdays during the event, there are short, 2-day questlines that give good rewards.
Hard disagree with mosts of the comments here. I hated the cards game and hope it never returns. But this event and the Saint Patrick's event are the only exciting ones for me. This is the only kind of event I like taking part in. So happy it's back!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
