Only 5 stars for completing each main quest? Last year it was 10. I wasn't in last year's Halloween event so I don't know if that event supplied a "surprise box" for the Winter Event. If it did not then the reduction in stars for daily quests would make sense....that would make up for having the surprise box. So, did players get a surprise box for playing the 2020 Halloween Event?
A simple "yes" or "no" was all that was required. The relevancy is simple. Either a surprise box was awarded during Halloween Event 2020 or it was not. If it was not then the reduction of 165 stars (5 times 33 days) for the main quests makes sense because the surprise box awarded for Halloween 2021 makes up for the fewer stars. If a surprise box was awarded during Halloween 2020 then the total number of stars earned during Winter Event will be 165 fewer meaning it will likely require diamonds to max out the building.Not relevant at all. You got a surprise box for playing the Halloween Event THIS YEAR. First surprise box introduced was THIS YEAR.

Uh....yes, yes, and yes.So you where not in last years Halloween, did not know if there was a Surprise box, but you do know last year you got 10 stars for completing the quests????
My bad. You are correct. 38 main quests this year which is the same as last year. 190 fewer stars from main quests this year. However, if you are correct that there was no surprise box awarded during the 2020 Halloween Event then this year's surprise box will compensate for the reduction in main quest stars.BTW, there are 38 rush quests, not 33, so that is 38x5= 190 fewer. You also have no idea if they have made any changes to incidents. If it will or will not require diamonds is way to early to tell.
I do recurring quests to fulfill these in my IA cities. Later on, building then selling barracks is faster (more costly though).I'm playing on my new world and I just have to say again, since I've said it before I'm sure. The iron age quest line is too much. My tiny city struggles to make goods, coins and production. The first quest took 1/3 of my coins...8000. The next quest wants me to collect 6000 coins....but my next collection will only be 5000. The the production request in Iron age was 9 times. In my main world it was 11.
On my main world, I was able to blow past the first 5 quests in under 5 minutes. In the iron age I am stuck on quest 2 for at least 4 hours.

It is not too early to predict whether, or not, diamonds will be necessary. MooingCat has already made his prediction based on Beta and the modelling that he does. His analysis used 10 stars per main quest instead of 5 though. According to him no diamonds will be necessary.

If you two could dispense with the public yet personal back and forth that is barely on topic between a moderator and a well-known member it would be appreciated. Not sure how a simple question needs to turn into a a rude response from a moderator right off the bat.
Don't forget about the key fragments offered in the daily challenges. If the published odds are correct a player can collect approximately 59.4 key fragments by completing all of the DCs during the Event (12 more keys). This would mean we only need to find 20 keys by opening presents. 1170 stars will open 117 presents. The odds of finding the key are 1:18 so expect to find about 7 keys with the 1170 stars. The "show 2" and "2X" prizes will help somewhat as will incidents and stars awarded for landing on "shuffle" but not enough to enable finding 13 keys. Unless I am missing something, completing the calendar means spending diamonds.So we are supposed to fish that all-important calendar key (and hopefully the daily special) out of a total of 15 choices in about three and a half tries every day? I though April Fool's Day was in spring, not winter!
Yep, it looks inevitable--and quite a few diamonds. I wasn't going to pick the key fragments in DCs based on experience during the Halloween event, when the daily stickers were much easier to find, but looking at the odds for the keys in this event, I guess I'd better get going with the DCs.Don't forget about the key fragments offered in the daily challenges.

From memory I‘m pretty sure it snows every time you:Speaking of snow...
Could you guys for Pete's sake decide whether it is snowing or not? The weather changes every 15 minutes are giving me visual whiplash....
