FoEhints: Number 2/2020 of the Journal for Forge of Empires

0:17 Starting Vikings
Egyptians disappeared?
1:30 White Hat Hacking
2:30 St. Patrick's Day Event

Starting Vikings

I want to begin this 2nd issue of the journal with quick answers to some questions. Henk from New Zealand wrote that he no longer can start the Vikings, only the Japanese settlement. InnoGames only changed the design a bit. On the left side, you find some icons to switch between the different cultures. All released cultures will remain available permanently. You can play these as often as you want.


Egyptians disappeared

Some players were afraid that the Egyptians might not be published. As some first graphics are already included in the game, I am pretty sure that InnoGames still plans to add these as the next culture. As the Egyptians have some fighting includes, they will be different to the previously published cultures. Maybe this requires more testing and so it takes a bit longer. But the Egyptians will come this year, I believe. The fact they disappeared from the selection window was simply an effect of that design change.


White Hat Hacking

Is it rewardable to hack InnoGames? The Egyptian Ahmed Sharif aka "Batee5a" discovered a row of security issues and reported these to InnoGames. He got special thanks for his precise and detailed documentation enabling InnoGames to find and close the weakness very fast. He received a total of 22,500 Euros as a reward for his work. In Forge of Empires a new Avatar will become available soon , painted based on his photo. The website HackerOne is a platform with many white hat hackers who help a lot of companies to find and remove security issues in their software.


St. Patricks Day Event

In the beta server the St. Patrick's Day event started. St. Patrick's Day is a public holiday in Ireland and some other countries, reminding of the start of the proselytizing if Ireland in the 5th century. In Forge of Empires, there will be a completely new minigame. That is a bit tricky and it is necessary to work on it from the very beginning of the event to be able to have the new event building set completed on level 2. This set then has the size if a terrace farm, but much better properties making it very desirable. The event will not have daily specials, bit chests to be opened after each completion if that minigame city. You heard it correctly: This city must be completed some 5 times to get enough upgrade kits. I am currently working on a detailed video about the related strategy recommending the steps to finish the event successfully.
