FoEhints: (outdated - new version available) Summer Event Buildings 2018 in Forge of Empires
88The Summer Event 2018 brings some new buildings to Forge of Empires. Three of them you can win as a Golden Prize on the wheel of fortune.
The Hammock is a decoration with 2 x 2 tiles size and offers much more happiness than premium decorations of the same size and age. It can be polished and then the happiness is doubled for 12 hours. Especially in the lower ages this temporarily can help to achieve the required happiness to make your population enthusiastic. When advancing to higher ages this decoration would need a one up kit or a renovation kit to be competitive with other decorations. But this is not worth it. These kits are just to valuable. Therefore the Hammock will not remain long in most cities.
The Sunken Treasure is a production building with a 3 x 2 size. Comparable to the Sacred Sky Watch it can deliver 1 forge point every day, but without the other advantages of the Sacred Sky Watch, population and coins. But the Sunken Treasure is a production building and therefore it offers 6 production options. I like most the possibility to receive 5 current goods every 8 hours. Especially in the Modern Era and above this is very interesting as it does not require unrefined goods. The building is very small and can provide a good share of the goods a player needs. I also want to mention the medal production. 140 medals per hour in the Early Middle Ages or 960 medals per hour in the Postmodern Era are a very interesting option for those who urgently need medals.
The Stranded Boat is a 4 x 2 residential building which provides half as much population as normal residential buildings. On top it produces less medals than a victory tower.
Summary: From these 3 buildings I am convinced of the Sunken Treasure only. But this I like a lot.
Then there is the dominant new building of the Summer Event 2018, The Ship. You receive The Ship by completing quest 4 of the event quest line and as one of the 3 options of the Pirates Selection Kit, one of the 3 Silver Prizes.
The Ship will not be in the ocean near your city. Instead it will be built as a normal building in your city. On level 1 it is a rowing boat in a pond and provides a little population and a few coins. If motivated the number of coins is doubled and on top it also produces supplies.
The Ship then can be upgraded with the Ship Upgrade Kit. Bringing it to level 2 doubles the related population and beside all other produced things it also gives medals if motivated.
On level 3 the properties again are increased plus one forge point..
On level 4 you also get 5 goods of the current age if the building has been motivated.
On level 5 you get a second forge point and on level 6 you get 10 instead of 5 goods every day. In the meantime also the values for population, coins and supplies grew in way that it is better than normal buildings in the city. Now this building is good, but not exceptional.
A completely new feature in Forge of Empires is the possibility to make a decision when upgrading to the seventh and last level. In all 3 version the values for population, coins, supplies and medals are increased.
The Royal Ship then produces 5 forge points every day. From the Trader Ship you 'only' receive 3 forge points, but as a compensation the number of goods is doubled from 10 to 20. The Pirate Ship is a mix of both providing 4 forge points and 15 goods.
My recommendation for players in lower ages is the Royal Ship. You can produce goods easily in different ways and you primarily need forge points. Players in the Modern Era and above possibly decide for the Trader Ship as 20 goods per day without needing unrefined goods can be a huge advantage. The Pirate Ship does not have a specific purpose. People might think that if they cannot decide between Royal and Trader Ship they just should pick this. Bit I cannot recommend that. If you are not sure which ship might be the best for you, you should decide for the forge points, which is the Royal Ship. And all ships will look great in your city.
