I don't think we need a guide or that we should talk about it because if it gets too popular they'll nerf itBut since you asked I'll just follow up some.
Generally speaking it's about time management really so depending on how much you can dedicate will give you an idea of which way to go and how much you can get. There's really only two things you can do; a Wishing Well/Fountain of Youth city and/or a Guild Expedition/Chest reward city, and a third one that's not really all that useful, Random Rewards/Château Frontenac.
For a WW/FoY city you'll mainly just concentrate on setting up your city and preparing for events that have WW as rewards and do as much of the event as needed to get as many WW's possible. You can get FoY's only from the last GE chests in level 3&4 and Jade Relics. For a GE/Chest city, same principle, set up city tuned up for finishing GE to get diamonds from chests. Either way will take some time to really get going, like weeks/months.
Daily Challenges - You can also get WW's from the Collectors Chest and the final Challengers chest. I found with as many cities I have it was just too time consuming to do though. My First Attempt at Daily Challenge If you go that route then same principle as above, tune city to be able to complete DC tasks effiecently, always go for Collectors chest and maximize Challenger's chests.
GE Chest Rewards - Someone who does all of GE and keeps track of their diamonds can speak to this method better than me since I don't do GE on my alt cities and don't keep track of diamonds won on my main city. Given that the rewards in some of the chests change I imagine it's quite difficult to know with any certainty just how many diamonds are averaged over the long term per week. Think it's something like 625 diamonds as rewards total but each chest reward of course has their own % chances. http://forgeofempires.wikia.com/wiki/Guild_Expeditions
In the end you have to think in long term thinking, you're not going to be showered in diamonds any time soon and even after quite some time not really then either but it makes for some interesting play and can be worth doing to some degree. How much you get out of it depends of course on how much you can do and get. For me personally I can't imagine doing all of GE on my alts and I started doing the event thing on them really before GE4 so I just stayed with the Event/WW thing, once the cities are setup then it only gets time consuming for whatever event comes around that happens to have WW's in them. The fan wiki lists WW's as 1.25% for diamonds, I just say 1%, doesn't really matter all that much statistically speaking anyway. So say you had 100 WW's spread over how many cities you have and collect daily then over the long term you would average 50 diamonds a day so of course the more WW's the more diamonds, 500 WW's 250 diamonds per day. And of course statistically you could go one day with less and another day with more, streaks of good days, streaks of bad days, but over the long term it converges towards that average.
