Hey INNO managed to mix it up a bit in a good way ..... they've got the ANDs and ORs pretty well balanced this go round ...... like the mix

Except for Dec 16 ughhhhhhh


Make that Dec 18th quest- Research a Tech OR Contribute 70 FP to Great Buildings, another speed bump would be Dec 31st quest- Research a Tech without any and/or options. I could get by Dec 18th but would forced me to age up by Dec 31st quest. :eek:

Oh wow, I had not thought about that. if there is more than 3 researches that could cause me some issues. :(

How about this for a dumbass Storyline Quest: Pay 70 A.I. data and win 275 medals. Really!! Get real INNO!! Problem is u can not abort this ridiculous quest.

The 18th should be easy. 70 FPs to a GB- contribute them to someone else's to get some FPs back in a reward. If you are early on and your city doesn't produce many FPs and you don't have any packs in your inventory, stop spending packs now to save them for that day. (And if you are in BA and can't contribute, researching a tech shouldn't really be an issue. If you are parking in BA, then you will have to get used to missing out on all events.)

Worst-cast scenario, it takes you 70 hours to accumulate FPs through hourly FP production. But if it takes you that long, you need to revamp your friends list to get people with upgraded taverns.

For me, it is the C-Map that shuts me down. I am WAY ahead- almost a full age. I have 3 sectors left of my current province. So if I were to do the 3 sectors on the 19th, I'd have to scout a province and acquire all sectors to gain control on the 24th*. My C-Map is already so messed up, I will probably quit the quests after the 18th. Prizes aren't good enough to keep going. Sure, another SoK or two would be nice, but it is not worth messing my C-Map up even more.

*I am stuck in a spot where I cannot scout until I gain control, giving me only 1 province to work with at a time. Otherwise I'd acquire of 2 sectors of my current province, scout a new one, and acquire one of the new province. Then when it was time to gain control, finish up that last sector in my current province. But, nooooo........ I have no option to scout right now. :mad:

Last years event was a confectionary.

Think sets have only been started within last 12 months. I would guess than next years event will be a different set altogether.

I did not state it clearlt. While the Special buildings from past Events would get no additional benegits they would count as part of the Current set making it easier to get full producton from a partial set of this year;s Winter Event set.

Am i explaining this clealy? Would ot be useful or good?

Hell yes it would...especially since these event buildings are tough to get this go around. I gave up...no way can I get the set or a partial set with the allotted stars without diamond usage. If I could connect them to the confectionary that might work better-give me a reason to try for the collection or parts of it.

In reality this is a weak event and I'm sure INNO's numbers will show it to be so at the end...1 in 18 chance to get a set piece with no doubles or previous pieces on the board make the odds too damn high. And a nine piece set to boot. I can only wonder what they were thinking when they came up with this formula...the summer casino had a 1 in 9 chance (I think) plus others spun the same wheel and multiple pieces were on the board-far better event. Too bad, it was an interesting building...

New Year New Age just make sure your RESEARCH is ahead of CONTINENT MAP and you're good to go ..... you can always keep making goods from previous age as those can be used for TREASURY donation quests....

Those high up in the ages will always find these events much more difficult if attempted FREE OF CHARGE....but if you pay the game it's always a CINCH.

Always up to the player .... those production timers are a ROYAL PITA !!!! i would love to just buy out of those quests....BUT i play for FREE and just try my best....

As always save those STARS ...... I can no longer acquire provinces until research goes beyond my C.M. and that goes for all 8 worlds
Thanks Praetorious and Edward. I'll donate to treasury on one, so I'll have the 4th for the 31st. I think Im ok on the map.
 
Another garbage set and event by Inno. This was my first winter event and I was really excited about it, then I saw the event and Innos MASSIVE greed come through, yet again. You think for a CHRISTMAS event, yeah I said it, they would give us a better event instead of a HUGE set that is not easily placed and you cannot even get unless you are the luckiest person on the planet or willing to shell out big bucks for diamonds. I for one will NEVER spend anther penny on this game after seeing Innos latest greedy event. Way to go scrooge, I mean Inno. You must think people are really dumb and don't see through your greedy bs.

You get free stuff everyday. It might not be what you want, but you still get free stuff. I dont think anyone cares if you call it a Christmas event or Hannkah, or Yule, or Holiday, or Winter Solstice.
Im not trying to be ugly. It is a personal preference.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Comparison to past Winter Events...

This is the first one with set pieces. I'm not a fan of the sets, but this set seems pretty awful.

This is the second Winter Event w/o Barracks. Past years jumping Era mid Event to get advanced Battacks was a stronh strategy.

Diamonds are no longer available, this is mitigated by the Diamonds in GE.

Otherwise this Winter Event is remarkably similar to past Winter Events. Difficult to obtain multiple good prizes and a hell of a lot of frustration from shuffle.

The big difference is the set pieces diluting good prizes. Hopefully we'll get two shots at the best prizes. Maybe not.

I am going for at least four sets (so, two won through stars) in one of my two worlds. But, no luck. Only four fields left and I can get 20 stars today. With my luck, the next field will be a shuffle. Not liking this event so far. But I wait for the day with SoKs for my other world.

It’s Inno’s money grab. Merry Christmas!
 

DeletedUser29623

I’ve had decent luck on both my worlds from saving up stars until today. Both got the moose meadow. I have no idea if I’ll end up using them, but I don’t really crave anything else on offer, so why not? I wish I could get into the SOK cult, but I spend so much time staring at this game, I really don’t want to fill up my city with buildings that look like a pile of broken sticks.
 

DeletedUser26120

I'm hoping that at some point they'll have Obs BPs
If it doesn't show up in beta, we probably won't get it in live.

It hasn't shown up so far and there's only 3 more prize rotations, at least 1 or 2 of those will be set pieces.

I know another guy wants diamonds prize like last year and I keep telling him if it doesn't show up in beta it probably won't show up here.

He keeps saying prizes are different but I'm pointing out it's just the order that's different, imo.
