Good info, but until it hits the live servers, we don't know if it will come to the US servers. We've seen in other threads the EN server has different completion requirements, for all we know this change is headed there.Just want to come in here to give @UBERhelp1 and anyone else a heads up that beta has 'fixed' the final settlement quest to require 1200 diplomacy along with 4 (down from 6) goods buildings. Both of these conditions must be met at the same time, so deleting diplomacy buildings to make room for the goods will no longer work once this change reaches the live servers.
EDIT: Completing the quest this way requires at least 8 expansions to be placed (plus the 4 you start with) for 50 clan totems, 3 huts, and 4 mead breweries.
If you instead use old willows and clan houses, in exchange for the much longer build time you only require 5 expansions for 1 clan house, 1 shack, 4 axes/beast hunters, and 11 willows plus 2 runestones.
However, I can't imagine there being enough time at the end of later settlements to afford the 8-hour build time and still reach gold. Plus, if you're reaching gold it's likely you've already placed a lot of expansions anyway so you have space to use for the 1-hour buildings. It is quite remarkable though how much space you could save with the 8-hour ones. 187 squares total for the 1-hour build (embassy included), but only 135 for 8-hour!
This is one of many reasons why Spoilers such as this are discouraged on forums other than the Beta Forum. It's also the reason why there are Spoiler Tags. While it's always fun to be the first with the 'news', I'd appreciate it if folks would stop posting Spoilers (from to root 'to spoil') to the Forum and wait for announcements to be made before Spoiling.
