Fall Event Strategies
With the Fall Event just around the corner, I thought it would be apt to start this strategy/ progress thread, where we can share ideas, strategy, and accomplishments, separate from the feedback thread.
I have never participated fully in previous Fall Events, so many of you may have much better insights than I do. I would love to hear from you! I did play the event a bit on beta, though, and perused the Beta forum and various other sites. Here is some of the more important/useful info collected in one place. I hope you find it helpful. (note: this assumes that you have read the announcement, and are somewhat familiar with the event mechanics).
For easier access to the Harvest Farm Sets spreadsheet, I will post the link HERE, at the top.
Log in every day, and you will get free ingredients
Collect incidents every day, you will get more free ingredients
Do all daily challenges.
Only use your ingredients when there is a daily special that you really want, otherwise you are wasting half their value.
Complete rush quests as soon as you can, since a good daily special may come up early.
That being said, you will not lose daily quests if you don’t finish the rush quests on the first day.
since there will be two parallel rush quest-lines, it is recommended to look ahead at what they are, and try to line up certain tasks, esp. long productions, so you can kill two birds with one stone
Tips for quests:
here are some tips and tricks for completing quests easily.
collect coins/supplies: build and sell buildings esp. from inventory. Do GE. do UBQ. use coin/supply rushes.
defeat units: if you are not a strong fighter, use 8 artillery in a fight with slow units. then kill some, and retreat without taking losses, and repeat till the quest is complete.
recruit units: do GE. every 4th encounter rewards units.
gain population: build and sell barracks (archers are 2x2 with ~ 105 population)
gain happiness: redo your roads, or build and delete memorial decorations (fast and free)
make enthusiastic: use tavern boost

Legal disclaimer brought to you by the law firm of Barkas and Darn: Any and all daily special prizes released on beta, are subject to change at the sole and arbitrary discretion of INNO Games. No whining on the forums about change in daily special is permitted without the express written consent of Ragu Silvertongue. "Barkas and Darn, Attorneys you can swear by, not at."
The most interesting daily specials for most players will be the September cottage selection kit, the cider mill selection kit, sentinel outpost and the sentinel upgrade kit. (mill of fall will be there too, but it is somewhat obsolete) For diamond farmers, the wishing well and shrink kit will appear.
Different from other events, it may not always be wise to go for the recipe with the highest daily special per cost ratio: you also have to keep an eye on which ingredients you have the most of, and choose recipes accordingly, trying to keep your ingredients more or less even. It is no use to have lots of apples at the end of the event, and not have any available recipes that use apples. The best may be to bake the highest DS/cost ratio recipes early in the event, and then nearing the end of the event, make sure to even them.
My plan is to save all my ingredients until the September cottage kits show up, and spend enough to get 7 (enough to max it). The cottage kits should appear twice. Then, I will spend whatever I have left on the sentinel outposts or upgrades.

see my spreadsheet HERE which gives an overview of some of the best sets you can build. I gathered the info from various sources scattered around the internet, not all of which can be linked here.
The main prize, the Harvest Farm Set, is quite interesting. The set is the most versatile of any set in the game, and you can highly customize it to your liking. If you want an overall awesome production, you can build the developer’s design. If you want more FPs, there are options to increase FP production by building certain fields. If you want an insanely good attack setup, there are many different attack-based sets you can build with certain fields, without the barn.
The one problem is that to get the set you want, you may need to spend diamonds. Even the dev’s suggested set will likely require diamonds to complete. Many players will be outraged by this, but it is very possible to get a set that is much better than most main event buildings, without spending diamonds, even if you don’t finish the event!
Field only strategy
It is possible to build this set without the barn, and many players may like the fields only setup better than the one with the barn. To get more fields, use the league reward selection kits for fields, and not barn upgrades. Two of the fields, the wheat field and the Ochre Yard, give very efficient boosts to your attacking army, when they are connected to other fields. Thus, you can make extremely efficient attack setups and chains, both with and without diamonds. There are also possibilities for FP setups, though these are more difficult, as one of the FP fields requires a road connection, and the other one needs to be connected to 3, and not just 2 unique fields.

This event promises to be very interesting, with some great daily specials, and awesome main prize possibilities. Because of the set versatility, this event favors both the diamond buyer, and the casual player that doesn’t even finish the event. There are amazing possibilities for both!
Enjoy the event, and comment below your thoughts on the event, and any strategies you have.
I am very interested if there are better sets that I missed.
