Guild Battlegrounds in Forge of Empires Guild Battlegrounds is a new feature which is currently being tested on the Beta Server. It will not be a replacement of gvg. Both possibilities to compete with other guilds will coexist. It will be published on all player worlds when the test is completed successfully and will then be available for desktop and mobile. Players who are part of a guild and have researched the Military Tactics technology can participate in Guild Battlegrounds. All guilds will be assigned to various battlegrounds. Each battleground is its own map that holds up to eight guilds and will last for ten days. Within each battleground, the participating guilds will fight for victory by holding as many provinces as possible for as long as possible. You will find a new building in the northeast of your city which can be used to access the Guild Battlegrounds. A new map opens with a number of provinces. Each guild starts at the edge of the battleground map with a province, which cannot be conquered by the other guilds, called the headquarter. Starting there, the guild can conquer adjacent provinces. Every guild member can click on an eligible province and either perform a fight or a negotiation. These fights and negotiations will always match the era of the player who performs it. I am in the Contemporary Era and therefore I get opponents matching this. If I would negotiate, the required goods are those a player in the Contemporary Era has to expect when negotiating in the guild expedition. After completing the fight or negotiation, the member will provide his guild with one or more advancement points, which will be visualized as a conquest flag on the target province. The first guild to accumulate enough advancements will gain control over the given province, whereas all other guilds that tried to conquer it as well will lose half the advancements that they have made towards that province. Apart from rewards for your guild, there are also individual rewards. Whenever you contribute an advancement by fighting or negotiating, there is a chance to loot some Forge Points. The looted Forge Points will be added to the players Forge Points bar, in the gold league I received 5 forge points every once in a while. Guilds can only attack provinces which are adjacent to one of their own. With each won encounter, advancement points are gained. The guild with the highest amount of advancement points in a province will have its conquest flag displayed in the respective province. Other guilds having advancement points in a province have their shield displayed next to the conquest flag of the leading guild. The bigger the darker part of that flag gets, the closer the guild is getting to conquering the province. When a certain amount of advancement points is reached, the province will get taken over. The amount of advancements needed depends on the league. Higher leagues need more advancement points. Initially our guild has been placed in the gold league. Based on this we have a target of 100 points. League: Copper Silver Gold Platinum Diamond Advancements needed: 40 70 100 130 160 A province that was just taken will be under lock-down for four hours, giving the new owner some time to get victory points. During lock-down, no guild can progress their conquest flag further in that province. Any guild member can tap on a province to bring up its window. There will be two options for earning points available there - Attack and Negotiate. Both the opposing army for attacking and the goods required for negotiation will depend on the player's age as already well known from Guild Expeditions. The concept does not offer a possibility for direct defense of provinces. Attacking other provinces before they take ours will be the best defense. If an opponent no longer has an adjacent province they also lose all advancements that they have made towards our province. The leader board of a battleground gets dictated by victory points, which are automatically earned by every guild once per full hour. The amount of victory points gained depends on the provinces that a guild holds. Provinces towards the center of the battleground map provide more points than those at the edge of the map. The player can see the rankings for their specific battleground at any time, listing all participating guilds, the number of provinces held, their current gain in victory points per hour, their current amount of victory points and the rewards of every rank. Upon completion of each battleground, there will be a 3-days break for the guilds to rest, collect their rewards and make new preparations. The guild score will then be updated. The Victory Points are particularly used to measure and count the points towards the completion of the current battleground, thus they are reset at the start of every new round. Each province that a guild holds, besides the headquarter, will provide victory points every hour. Whenever a player successfully completes a battle or a negotiation on the Guild Battleground they will build up Attrition. This is a percentage value that directly affects the attack and defense bonus of the defending armies and the difficulty level of the negotiations that the player will face. So at some point, performing attacks or negotiating will become unfeasible as the defending armies become too strong and the negotiations become too complex and too expensive. However, attrition resets to 0% each day at midnight server time. After 33 successful battles my opponents have 400% bonus on attack and defense. Due to the many battles a high level of Alcatraz is recommended. Negotiations now require 6 times as many goods as directly after midnight. So negotiating after fighting fails will also reach its limits soon and consume a lot of goods. According to a guild's performance, they can climb the ladder to join the highest leagues. New guilds start off in the Copper league and can advance step by step to Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond league. A guild's league will be shown in the global rankings and also affects the magnitude of their battleground rewards. Performing great in a battleground will increase the guilds league rating while performing poorly will move the guild down a league. When assembling new battlegrounds the game will always pick guilds which are of the same league. Is is announced that in the future guilds can construct buildings in provinces during the protected time to make attacks from that province easier or to make it harder for enemies to attack the province. This currently is not part of the beta test. When a battleground ends, guilds may obtain various rewards which depend on placement: - Prestige Points for the ranking according to current league - Guild Power according to placement within a battleground - Fragments for the Statue of Honor I am sure that this new feature will attract many more players than gvg currently does. We will all have a lot of fun competing against each other on the guild battlegrounds soon.
@@markbush9997 this depends. highest priority: do what you prefer. Gameplay should be fun. There usually should not be a GE or guild battlegrounds. More often I hear if gvg is still that important. With guilds in the diamond league guild battlegrounds will soon become more important for the guild ranking than gvg. GE can only be something that comes on top.
Have to agree with antoine1696 and Origobaldo, it all seems very interesting but the rewards do seem very weak and the costs of goods, units and time may not be worth the effort.
Everyone here is complaining about lack of rewards lol who cares this gives us something to do other then daily events, GVG, GE, and invasion of other players etc it sounds like a lot of fun why does everyone have to whine about everything I swear.
Honestly, the rewards don't seem worth the effort at all, some points, maybe an extra one per day from the towh all thanks to the guild power.... At the cost of many units, goods and lots of time. Useless feature IMO.
@@origobaldo7090 Its not about what "the guild" as a subject gains.. Its the fun players get from it. Sharing their resources with teammates, fighting together for a common goal, talking about your day with them... Some people like the environment more than they like the fps
@@FoEhints I kind of figured I just wanted those 11-12 goods per person per turn negotiations to count like *Looks suspiciously to the left and right* 11 times that of one as these past two GBGs I put in 414 the 1st and I thought 424 on the last one but wow it was actually 464! Negotiations that is! But I think that no more than 4 goods per person per turn! As Lmao I was too scared to do the math for a 12 goods per person per turn negotiation and always have to have diamonds if you're at these high negotiations as you throw it all away when you can't get an extra turn! But on the one 12 I did that I also needed 65 diamonds as the other thing is when you don't have enough of each good to be used 10 times min and ouch so I got the extra turn leaving the only one but my fears came true as of all the goods it was the one that I only had 1 of! So I had to! That stung and then I did the math and it was 156 or 168 but I paid for 11 goods! And I had been thinking that if I gave it my all maybe it would motivate others to do the same but instead it was like lmao I stop at 3! And also to get the goods no one would do fair trade down so I was having to give 1:1 two eras ahead for the bottom era goods! If I'd do fair trade they'd sit unless this one guy would be on! As he'd cover them! But the strange thing is when I battle wow! Starting with 0 attrition the enemies will have two waves and already have boost so I can maybe get up to 4 or 5 before it's a lost cause but the awesome thing has been, I really messed up at that build a tower ruin quest as it's so far ahead and I had fallen behind on my strategy of always always do tech first! I had just gotten ARC and was so into putting all my FP on that and in the meantime I advanced the map all the way to USA! And what's odd is I was kept told stay in LMA as there are the best recurring quests in whole game there! But it was strange as All of the sudden the recurring for a few rounds were CA! I think it was a glitch as it got back to LMA but that was brutal! But I had no idea when I'd be able to win a sector by battle again but when I advanced into CA and got all the units, as well as more military boosts, and how the units in USA don't go after rogues I won province after province by battle as the IA units seem to have regressed to stone age mentality lol so I'd hide my 1 ranger in a tree, and they'd just keep going after every unit but rogue and with paying the negligible infiltrate fee I could take out a unit with one rogue hit! And the last one I won lmao it was 3 rogues against 2 cannons and since they don't have defense hit I beat it lol! But thank you for your answer as this is going to save me a lot of goods 👍 👍👍 Guten Morgen!
Tried the forum but couldn't find the answer. So I anyone can tell me whether to keep the goods producing Great Building once you get to space age Mars?
I even added one, the Star Gazer, producing goods of the Virtual Future when being in the Mars Era. But you are right that ni longer unrefined goods are needed and Lighthouse or RAH produce goods of the Future era that you do not need. But you can help new players of your guild with it to get a Great Building of that era. They will be very happy.
I have a question that is unrelated to the topic at hand. I noticed some friends can see my trades in the market specifically but I can't see theirs. no names are attached in my market screen. why is this? thanks.
Do you have a video for commanders? I was just elected to be commander for GBG and is like I know I'm right for it I just don't know all what that entails
@@FoEhints Thank You! No rush as I'm doing my best to just forge alliances and plant traps on provinces that will be sieges it's so much fun being a Commander despite my name being CaptainHowdy as lol I had just watched Strangeland before signing up and I didn't think that this game would be sooo immersive! And now since I did finally have another Commander ask me if I liked Twisted Sister because CaptainHowdy is in one of their songs and lol Strangeland was Written, Directed, and Produced and starred in By TSs Dee Snider But thank you so so much @FoEhints for everything
Hello there, nice video. Do you know if there will be a way to see how much a player have helped? That would be very good to estabilish a few rules around my guild so we maintain a top spot
BATTLE GROUNDS NEEDS THESE OPTIONS 1,Battlefield needs a upgrade were theirs a Allies tab and you pick who to allies with and for how long.. 2,The increase is set way to high ,,,LOWER IT 3,That's to many months of work ,,, just to get a Soh ,,NEEDS TO BE LOWERED 4,Guild members who do nothing in bg ,Should not get a prize PERIOD....................... 5,
gvg gas many provinces across different ages and you can fight with your guild in all these ages. guild battleground have one province for a selection of guilds competing 11 days. the advantages of guild battlegroinds: - app and browser (gvg only browser) - you can make your fights whenever you want (gvg: 8 pm important time) - great benefits for individual battles and at the end of each tournament
When you watch my other videos you will notice that my city in DE-Niarsil is in Space Age Mars. Bit this is the Beta Server. It is mainly used for testing. No need to push it too much - and no time also. But those players who really want to stay very long at a certain age, eg for pushing great buildings, are also OK. There is no single correct way. It is a game. Everybody can play it the way they enjoy it most.

@@FoEhints What is Guild vs Guild?
You are my one stop shop for the good information on FOE upcoming events and strategies. Good work sir.
Thank you @FOEHints ! It always helps to have a visual representation of how something looks compared to simply reading about it.
Thank you once again for the amazing introduction. I'm desperately waiting on your Holloween Event guide.
Thank you for being the best FoE explainer.
much appreciated again and again for your great introduction...
waiting Halloween video with english , already watched it on Germany :)
been waiting for this
most interesting feature but reward seems a beat weak...
ye this is unusual because they are quite generous with other stuff
For so much work. Wait. Troops and goods i must agree. It is good that you get 5 unbound troops once in a while though after succesfull attacks
This comment aged well, love my level 8 Soh :) and the tens of thousands of fp
Yes, but actually no lmfao
Wow, that looks great !
wow this sounds so complicated
hi great vid hope you make more
Have to agree with antoine1696 and Origobaldo, it all seems very interesting but the rewards do seem very weak and the costs of goods, units and time may not be worth the effort.
and why do you think you need to have rewards? you don't win anything by doing GvG and there is still plenty of people that play it.
sounds pretty cool.but i agree with antoine 1696..... small rewards
this should be interesting with my guild :)
GvG doesn’t get much participation because it isn’t supported on tablet/mobile. This should have better participation.
The concept of this feature looks quite like battle royale games, such as PUBG and Fortnite
Everyone here is complaining about lack of rewards lol who cares this gives us something to do other then daily events, GVG, GE, and invasion of other players etc it sounds like a lot of fun why does everyone have to whine about everything I swear.
Is the staue of honor a better investment for me than a few SoK's?
Depends
In the beginning most would decide for SoK.
then longer you play, the more you look on efficiency per square and then the focus changes
Honestly, the rewards don't seem worth the effort at all, some points, maybe an extra one per day from the towh all thanks to the guild power.... At the cost of many units, goods and lots of time. Useless feature IMO.
some people play for the guild and not only themselves
@@JC50000000 oh really? And what does "the guild" gain exactly?
Points to get to the o
level 100 guild rewards

and why do u need u think to win something? You don't win anything in GvG and plenty of people play it.
Team Deutshland against Team Polska, aint we saw that assault earlier?
I was curious as too if your attrition is 60 or so does each win give more or is it just the same?
attrition only influences the difficulty of a battle, not the rewards

How to the Victory points work? It says points are earned every hour. Does this mean Ever Hour on the Hour or For every hour that you own a Province?
Every full hour server time
Hello there, nice video. Do you know if there will be a way to see how much a player have helped? That would be very good to estabilish a few rules around my guild so we maintain a top spot
Good point. Please give this feedback in the forum of the game.
In the meantime this was added
Has anyone moved guild mid season? I know in GvG you can't participate for 7 days but can't find anything about GbG.
You then will only be able to fight again in gbg when the next season started.
Do you fight a real guild’s army or the computer? That’s what I like about GvG. The enemy places their DA’s and you fight them
the computer takes one of many predefined armies, sometimes one wave, sometimes 2 waves. With every battle they have a higher bonus.
BATTLE GROUNDS NEEDS THESE OPTIONS
1,Battlefield needs a upgrade were theirs a Allies tab and you pick who to allies with and for how long..
2,The increase is set way to high ,,,LOWER IT
3,That's to many months of work ,,, just to get a Soh ,,NEEDS TO BE LOWERED
4,Guild members who do nothing in bg ,Should not get a prize PERIOD.......................
5,
5. game need a log on what player were they attacked ,,so guilds can manage their guilds better
will having a Chateau help rewards?
When you get coins, supplies, goods, diamonds or medals as rewards from quests, you receive an additional percentage on top.
What is the difference between Guild Battleground and GVG?
gvg gas many provinces across different ages and you can fight with your guild in all these ages.
guild battleground have one province for a selection of guilds competing 11 days.
the advantages of guild battlegroinds:
- app and browser (gvg only browser)
- you can make your fights whenever you want (gvg: 8 pm important time)
- great benefits for individual battles and at the end of each tournament
Got it. Thank's for the explanation
oh great :))))))))))))))))) ugh
The first letter of „honor/honour“ is silent. Like it is in the term „honestly“.
It‘s a huge pronunciation-mistake (especially by German)
thx, will make it better next time
when will it be
depends on test results
since today :-)
You're STILL in CE?? why? Camping is a poor way to build up GBs

nice building... but still no use for guild goods post futur
you will need many of these goods soon for these guild battlehround buildings.
As complicated as it is boring and useless.
