[Guide] Feedback for the Guides

DeletedUser9184

I was wondering if you guys have any sort of suggestions any new guides or for the guide section in general. I want to mainly focus on any new guide that I should include/make, but any improvements to our current guides wouldn't be bad as well :)

How about fixing the broken links to the guides? This problem is a clear example of poor customer support. I will stop purchasing anything from Inno (and I will urge others to do the same) until this problem is fixed. Shame on you, Inno.

I'm sorry, did you not read all the posts in the numerous threads about these guides? The guides are not provided by Inno - they are the work of a VOLUNTEER player who is aware that they need updating. Shame on WHO?

Yes, how about fixing the broken links to the guide? It would be nice to actually read them and glean some information. Impossible to read.

King, see above. A player who volunteers their time created the guides. From multiple other posts on this topic, you can see that he is aware of the issues with the guides and will fix them when he can

Anyone volunteering to help?

I do understand that a guide such as "One Lane vs Two Lane Comparison" is NOT an Inno product, and I agree that Inno should not be obligated to provide such guides. But I was referring to the basic stats for buildings. That information is vital, and I do think Inno has a responsibility to provide those stats.

Those are again updated by me when I was a normal player. The EN forums haven't gone through this change, so you can use them while it's still the old vBulliten: https://forum.en.forgeofempires.com/forumdisplay.php?75-Best-Guides

I realize that a volunteer posts info about GBs, and I want to thank all of them. What I'm wondering is why can't a link be established to the old guides instead of having to post new ones? It used to take 2 maybe 3 clicks to get to a level by level reward for each GB.

Because the architecture of the new forum is not the same as the old - at least, that's how I understood the explanation.

You can see that information from the main page:
https://us.forgeofempires.com/page/the_game/buildings/ Though this does not include Great Buildings and Special Event buildings.

There are no old and new guides, basically. The forum is still the same old one but running on a new version. So the "old guides" are the ones you're seeing here, except the old codes do not work properly and have to be manually updated to work for this new version, which is tedious and heavy work at the least.

Perhaps someone could fix the table coding in the "Goods Buildings & Tech Tree Requirements" guide. I've found it useful for planning but it's just so hard to read now.

You've got Hansi's old building guide with it's point values in the obsolete portion of your index (and yes, it does stop at PME). Has there been any update to that to include all buildings. I'd like to know what all the building point values are. Thanks.

I need some time to get the new point values since the ranking has changed them (actually getting the data may not take much time, it's making/editing the tables for it! :p), but the only point values listed here are Great Buildings and special buildings. I do have point values for all buildings on the EN forums, but I'd rather not link to it until it's updated ;)

Speaking of updating, what do you guys think I should do first? The different Statues stats', GB points, or something else?

I just notice when selling goods buildings the rank numbers move up. Then building a set of different new goods buildings. It went down again. How much, I don't know. It seem that it gonna be a lot of work getting all the new points setting for every building. I would very much like to help. This kind of stuff interest me. Just don't have the techno to do so. Lost my Excel due to an upgrade. Don't have the money to get it replace. Been keeping up with stuff just using notebook. Plus, I'm only as high as HMA and barely breaking LMA.
