I'm trying to figure out how to unlock the next level on our "uncapped" great buildings?
I still can't access the GB I already have (from the Inventory) so I can view the extra Bps I have and open more levels to donate to.
And no Vouchers.
Same here. It's as though there was no update on mine. I have all 3 attack GBs in 3 worlds and can't find the vouchers anywhere. I can see that I have an entire set of extra BP's for Zeus in 2 cities, but there doesn't seem to be a way to access them or to "unlock" another level on my Level 10 Zeus. Kinda frustrating really.
the great building level cap will come after the ipad update. ipad update is now done, so expect the gb change sometime in the next 365 days
I think its being delayed because of the ipad.
Which begs the question.
Is FOE a pc game with a ipad version, or an ipad game with a pc version?
I don't really like this update. Reason is instead of the progression of 3% per level in Zeus/Aachen/CDM, you only get 1% per level.
You can see all the level 11 of current GBs here:

This update is horrible. This update has made me deeply disappointed in FoE.
Three main reasons:
a) The original military bonuses were 5% per level. When FoE nerfed them to 3%, they said "it's ok, we'll let you keep leveling them up to make up for the big decrease and give you a voucher for each military GB so you won't be as negatively affected." If you had a lvl 10 Zeus, CoA, and CdM, then you had a +150% military bonus pre-nerf. Post-nerf that bonus became +90%. Now, with the voucher, each GB would gain a measly 1% bringing the military bonus to +93%.
That is a massive loss in military bonus %.
b) For players who love FP producing GBs, levels 11 and above seem worthless. Neither Hagia or CdM receive an increase in FP production. Booooo!
c) I have a city on Brisgard in the Bronze Age with GBs from LMA, HMA, EMA, and Iron. I think it is fun to build GBs while staying in the Bronze Age. My goal is to build every GB eventually without leaving the Bronze.
Because of this update, I will have to level up to the Iron Age. I will not be able to play the game like I really want to.
Say what? Was this said in jest or do we just have a failure to communicate?
I may not be like other players. I like having Great Buildings and supporting other players Great Buildings. I am in HMA and you will now be forcing me to go into a higher age, which I am not interested in doing at this time. Most, if not all, of my Forge Points go into these Great Buildings of other players. Because I will not have the "architecture" to support other players Great Buildings, my forge points will be lost unless I go further in Age.
A player should be allowed to play the game, as it was produced. With the change to my ability to contribute to other players Great Buildings, what is the use of me having a friends list? What is the use of me having lower level guild members if they are not the proper age to support my Great Buildings? I do not use Forge Points on MY OWN Great Buildings. If I did, I feel it would not be worth having this game as a multi player game.
You are taking away my ability to play the game the way I want, as long as it is within the rules.

I'm in complete agreement with Pokkets!
This type of adjustment is not productive to the game, rather quite the opposite, for many players who are in the Bronze Age have Great Buildings and now they will not get as many forge point contributions as prior to this adjustment...thus lessening productivity of gameplay. I have no current intention on reaching the Iron Age anytime soon. And if researching 'Architecture' will cause my Tribal Village to reach the Iron Age, I simply won't engage in Great Buildings anymore. Not until I feel suitable for reaching the Iron Age; which is far from now. However, I am more concerned with other players reaction to this unnecessary and imprudent change. I don't think this modification is very welcoming to many other Bronze Age players as well.
Furthermore, I also agree with Walrusking001 comment. I am not completely sold that turning in a Blue Print set, then buying Forge Points to Level up Great Buildings is the way to go either. I agree that locking the ability to purchase Blue Prints after you've built a Great Building, then trading in a set of those excess Blue Prints for a Leveling Up Voucher would've been a more productive idea.
Your consideration of players/customers suggestions is of high gratitude!
