No, you can't get blueprints in GBG. IIRC, quests and GE don't give blueprints for ages above your current one. Just up to your current age, and no-age BP, like the ToR.

What do you think are your responsibilities as a guild leader? I'm one also, and am curious.

I'm a farmer, and I love GBG. I just do the negotiation game -- a logic puzzle -- instead of fighting.

Of course they can't. But guilds can maintain a list of goods sellers to pass along to guildmates looking for GB sets. Everyone else has been harsh, but they're essentially right. You're doing a poor job of looking after your people. When your players have questions you can answer, you do...

Yes. As I said, we scrapped it. The idea had been proposed as "It seems to get us easier opponents," so we tried it. Doing so didn't cost anything, and wasn't especially difficult.

My guild has done this; imported the idea from a guild leader's other guild. It did seem to work for a while, as in we were blowing the competition out of the water, but after coming up against another guild that was doing the same thing, we scrapped it. We generally do quite well in GE whatever...

It is an interesting question, but I don't think it's necessary. In my opinion, possibly the best aspect of FoE is that it accommodates widely varying styles of play. If anyone wants to maintain that particular city development challenge, there are routes to do that, as others have already...

Whiners do have a voice. But it's not a binary choice between tolerating kvetching and participating in a community that interests you. If you think someone adds more noise than signal, it's easy enough to hit "ignore."

The richness and depth of play; it covers enough ground to appeal to bajillions of different people, with wildly different preferences and play styles.

Yes, but are you your own grandpa? Inquiring minds want to know.

Is it crazy to keep >2 cities for diamond mining purposes?

Ah. That was a mush-for-brains moment, too early in the morning. I hadn't realized how old the post was.

I have once or twice (in about a year of playing, negotiation only) gotten a five-goods negotiation right on the first guess.

FoE has a lot of features that encourage cooperation and community building. There are enough that I've theorized that cooperation among players and guilds is a continuing guiding principle of their design team. Much like the lesson of Civilization (the board game) is that war is a losing...

I've used the forum's bookmark function for a few posts, but haven't figured out how to retrieve them. What am I missing? Never mind. I found the answer.

Generally speaking, the guild admin privileges are extremely out of date. Four out of the seven are either already obsolete after last year's changes to the Message Center, or will be partially obsolete shortly, once the guild forums are gone. At the very least, the descriptions should be...

I can still attack neighbors >1x/day. That bug fix, isn't. Many thanks for fixing the zoom and RQ delay issues.

Effectively, that would allow you four "extra" fights/day that you might not otherwise complete. That seems like a pretty paltry payout for the dedicated city space and FP. It takes 10,248 to get a GT to L20. For that amount you could bring a Traz from L20 to L28, and increase the units it gives...

I don't do GvG. What's the 96 hour rule you're talking about? I thought GvG was an ongoing daily thing, rather than having discrete sessions like GE and GBG.

If you're trying to say I offended you, I apologize. If you're not, I'm at a loss for what your stepson has to do with our conversation. Perhaps.. just perhaps.. when people say you misunderstood them, they actually have a better idea of what they meant when they said it in the first place than...
