Can someone tell me how I motivate and polish buildings? I see the icon but it is transparent, I can’t click on it.
So it’s either Aid, or motivate or polish. You Aid to get money in the player quick look. But to motivate or polish you have to visit the city. You cannot Aid and motive/polish at the same time. Got it thanks!
So Aiding is motivating or polishing?No, you don't got it. Aid automatically chooses the building that is motivated/polished in the person's city, if there is nothing available to be motivated or polished it will just give you the coins and put an event in the player's event history saying that you aided but weren't able to polish/motivate any items.
Yes. You're just not choosing what gets mot/pol'd.So Aiding is motivating or polishing?

Is her a difference in aiding a friend vs a neighbor?
The coins are your reward for doing the m/p. Your friend's building will stay motivated until he collects it. If you polished something, that effect will last 24 hrs before expiring.So I have noticed that when I go to a friends city and select motivate or polish and then tap on the star I get X amount of coins. Am I taking away the motivation or polish or does it stay for like 24 hours?
If you are aiding friends, and you have the spare time, it's always nice to visit their city and motivate production or housing instead of using the aid button. This will not benefit you but it will help your friends and guild members as polishing can have zero effect on the recipient if they already have an enthusiastic populace. One really important thing I've learned is that having lots of small decorations will absolutely ruin your production and housing motivation from people that use the aid button since decorations and cultural buildings will be polished before motivation takes place when using the aid button. Until recently I was filling empty space with trees and other cheap decorations until I noticed that all the aid was going to those items instead of housing and production.
The default order for the aid button, as far as I have come to understand it, is:
Note: There is apparently some measure of RNG involved in this selection but I haven't seen evidence of it.
- Decorations (Polish)
- Cultural Buildings (Polish)
- Highest ranking production or housing building in the research tree (Motivation)
- Lower ranking housing and production buildings in order of research tree placement. (Motivation)
I welcome corrections to this list
I believe Polishes only last 12 hours, not 24.If you polished something, that effect will last 24 hrs before expiring.
I have never seen a list that far off
Aiding priority is:
After that there is a 50/50 chance of either motivating or polishing. After that selection has been made it will pick a building of the highest age.
- Forge Points
- Goods
- Units
- Medals
- Guild Power
For starters, that list is clearly outdated, but thanks for cutting and pasting from the wiki. Since Happiness does not appear on that list, it is clearly not being factored. I know for a fact that decorations and cultural buildings are being motivated in advance of production. As I type this I have two lower age cultural buildings that are motivated while my production (goods/material) buildings sit untouched. This pattern has been confirmed by weeks of observation on my end.
Secondly, I very clearly mentioned that I was open to correction, so your snark is unnecessary and combative. I think I'll email the community managers about your attitude. You have demonstrated an extraordinary level of contempt for the people of this forum and I think it needs to be addressed.
It very clearly says "buildings" and mentions nothing of decorations. I stand by my prior comment as it pertains to that priority.
Likely you're right, that statement was nagging me a little but I was too lazy to check to be sure. I figured Agent would jump on it.I believe Polishes only last 12 hours, not 24.
