I have seen 3 fully maxed out castles so this must be working well for Inno. My Castle is 115K through level 8 and I would not have bought diamonds without the huge Castle boost when I did.
One thing I noticed is that the offers I see in the browser version of the game are always much better than those available from the mobile app at the same moment, but the mobile app does give a daily free gift in that area, which is not available on a PC browser.I've been playing for 1 year. Bought a $79.99 package twice. December and May. This is my current offer on PC. I only open the window on iPad to get the free daily trinket and I see offers like this all the time. Thanks but no thanks.

Connect your Purchases to PayPal, and you can Purchase ANYTHING from Just about ANYWHERE Using PaypalEh, I considered buying the very cheapest diamond thing (~$5) a few events ago because I was one or two turns short to max a building. I only pay for things with prepaid debit cards however, and they cannot be used for overseas purchases, so no sale to me. Thanks for saving me money
Inno has chosen to give certain regular spenders a better deal hoping they will spend more, rather than give all spenders an incentive. That is their choice. They are basically the "gods" of their game worlds and we don't know how they choose these spenders. Those chosen (assuming they even know) are unlikely to enlighten us on how to join the chosen few and Inno could change their algorithm anytime.
I would definitely use diamonds more often if they cost half to a third of what they cost me now. Would that translate into my spending more? I don't know, but apparently Inno's algorithm has decided the answer is no!
I enjoy playing FoE but I am not a fan of INNO. Believe me, if I knew what it took for me to qualify for a 189% deal I would scream it from the rooftops. The fact is I am not a frequent buyer yet I get 189% deals often. I'm not sure that there's algorithm in play. I think that it's more like the candy display at the cash register. Most people pass it up but, every so often.....Inno has chosen to give certain regular spenders a better deal hoping they will spend more, rather than give all spenders an incentive.

Actually my best guess is their marketing people are hoping,after selecting a sample of their best customers which they sent to their computer people. Their computer people then examined a selection of best customer habits (on game and spending); and those players that conform within some percentage of the resulting profile get the offers. Of course it could be much simpler: Those who spend for awhile and then slow down or stop get the offersYou are correct that we can't know what the requirements are for Inno's deals and that they can be changed how and when Inno likes but that doesn't mean you can't some educated guesses if you know someone who's getting the offers and they will share what and how they spend their diamonds. I'd venture a guess that it is at least partially done by diamond usage and of course by how you buy the packages. And you are mistaken in your belief that Inno is 'hoping' on this matter. It comes down to data crunching and people's spending habits which while not 100% certain is a bit beyond 'hoping'.
So I used to spend several hundred a year on Diamond purchases. I rarely, if ever, buy them anymore. I used to get great deal offers quite frequently when I was spending more consistently. I still get them several times a year. I am also not afraid to use piddling amounts of Diamonds. That extra turn in negotiations. Diamond expansions when aging up. Once in a great while that last BP. However, for the last 6 months or more I've been hovering around 35-40,000 Diamonds without buying any, even with the spending. And yes, I do still get the offers. Had one just about two weeks ago. (And I'm not talking about the one with event currency that most everyone probably gets.)Actually my best guess is their marketing people are hoping,after selecting a sample of their best customers which they sent to their computer people.

You seem to be saying that in addition to the Diamond deals that are offered to spenders, they get preferential odds from the RNG. Is that right? Because if you are, I can testify that it is hogwash. I have gotten the same average results overall as anyone else in the 6+ years I've been playing, whether I've been spending a lot or nothing at all. I have hot streaks and cold streaks, just like everyone else. The difference between me and you isn't whether or not we spend money, it's whether or not we recognize and understand the realities of an impartial RNG. I do. You, and a whole load of other folks over the years, apparently do not.But even if not every person at a casino gets access to every table, every casino table pays every person without discrimination. We're supposed to be at the same table.
