Its not even in beta yet so who knows. It does look interesting and I look forward to having somewhere else to play that is slightly different than where I play now.
I'm more curious if rewards will be buildings, passive abilities or something totally different. Most interesting would be a GB like building that levels up every time you complete a cultural settlement and doesn't rely on FP (or not as much). It would make it much harder to powerlevel it so no instant power-creep.

Yes. But since it's only running on the Beta server, you should take youir questions to the Beta forum.

I believe that there is an announcement about it on the Beta Forum.

Thank you.

It started on BETA yesterday 11/4.
The rewards you win go to your main city yes. Quest rewards and end of event rewards. Buildings you use to build up the settlement (and currency/goods) are settlement use *only*.
Coin/supply/diamonds you have from your city are used to buy/unlock/assist the settlement things.
It’s *different* to say the least.

I watched the video and read the beta thread (I visit there often to see what's coming out, like this year's Winter Event. It's cool). I'm looking forward to this feature already. I think it will be a cool addition.

Just more stuff to do with lousy rewards, the same old tired worn out quests blah, blah. Why can't these so called brain children of INNO for once concentrate on better rewards, improvements in game play mechanics, etc!

They will, they're just waiting for all the ungrateful people to quit playing first.

I'll never understand why so many people spend so much time playing a game they dislike so much.

Habit. Played for so long, used to enjoy it, now going through the motions.

Did you read the rewards? They look overpowered. Greater Runestone looks like it will be an upgraded SoK & Yggdrasil is an atk% buffing Pillar of Heroes. Since it sounds like both are a 'level it up by grinding the cultural settlement' building... I'm guessing most Power-gamers will be farming then non-stop to replace SoK farms. Once I delve deeper into the numbers, I wonder if they will end up being the power creep replacement for terrace farms to boot.
What would you like to see as an improvement to game mechanics? The mechanics are pretty solid as is... are you bored and looking for something new? Or is there a particular deficiency that is nagging you? Personally, I'd like to see defense % do something more than just help prevent hoodie pillaging.
Anywho, I just read the announcement and watched the video (Video didn't really give any unique information that the announcement gave, imo). Time for me to read the beta thread and maybe ride my free election day into maybe, possibly joining the Beta.

If I understand this correctly, Settlement buildings etc. can only be used there, not in FoE proper.
Edit: Disregard the above. I didn't read the "rewards" section of the announcement closely enough.

OH YEAH, they are VERY nice buildings. I am working on my first play through now. It will be a grind to get them. FYI, I did the math on the Rune Stone and it will take a minimum of 13 play through runs to get it at max level (that is IF you can play though fast enough to get 6 segments per play through- a total of 75 segments to make a level 5 Rune Stone). The way things are set up you can diamond some stuff for advantage, but you cannot diamond a play through (there are things you CANNOT buy)

It's a pretty slow feature. The settlements are more simplistic than our cities (only the one base resource and 4 goods - no GBs, boosts, happiness, etc). The ultimate rewards are nice but it remains to be seen how long it takes to make a play through without dumping diamonds into it. The emissaries along the way are probably enough to encourage you to keep going while working on the 14 play throughs to get the max ygg tree. Mostly it's more busywork that you *have to* do if you want to minmax your city.

Trust me, this will even make them more bored.
It's like en event where you can only go very slow through the motions.

I was thinking the same thing. The rewards are awesome, but based on FoEHints, it will take around 7 - 8 months to gain one end-game building and each upgrade if you are playing each event till it's end. Not sure how often the other rewards pop up within the event, but I doubt Inno will allow you to bank too hard too soon. From the start this looked like a strat to rope players in for long-term investment.
The rewards sound cool, but I can foresee a time where this, ordinary gameplay, and other special events can possibly overload a person if they have to do them all at once.

So do I.
The more special buildings that are plunderable, the more plunderers are attracted. The more plunderers that are attracted, the more I get to watch them FAIL at attacking me and trying to break through. The more they fail, the more I laugh.
Always a good time hahahahaha.
Edit: According to the beta server though, the Yggdrasil (spelling...) Tree isn't plunderable. Has a motivated bonus.
Edit 2: @ODragon I just checked and the runestone had motivation bonuses as well. So neither special building is plunderable.
