Dear Kings and Queens,
On Thursday, November 24th, our Forge Bowl Event returns once again!

This is the place to be if you have any questions about it or would like to discuss it with other players.
Please keep in mind that your opinion may differ from the opinions of other players, you don't have to convince each other of anything here.

We appreciate your feedback!

Please write your feedback in a factual and constructive way and stay on topic.
So that we can pass your feedback on to the developers, the following points would be important to note:

• Feedback that only contains one sentence like "Looks nothing like Bowling!" is not helpful. Please make sure to include reasons for your opinion.
• The same goes for positive feedback. We are happy about it of course, but describing what exactly you like is always very helpful!
• Limit your feedback to the actual content. Feedback like "You should improve X" or feedback that refers to other game content or previous events is not helpful.
• Use the "Like" button if another player has already reflected your opinion well.

Thank you very much and have fun!

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team

It's time to fire up the BBQ grills, grab your teams jersey and get ready for this years Forge Bowl! Our famous quarterback Cal Rogers makes his return with the InnoForgers for another run in this years highly anticipated Forge Bowl!

The Forge Bowl starts on November 24th and will run until December 15th

As soon as the Forge Bowl kicks off, you can access the event window on top left corner to drive your team down the field for a touchdown! Huddle up with Cal Rogers to make progress in this year’s questline. You’ll be able to complete 35 rush quests immediately, and receive another 21 quests on a daily basis.


The goal is to reach the end zone and score a touchdown, giving you the opportunity to win the coveted Touchdown Reward. Move your team forward 80 yards in order to score, while pushing your opponents down field towards your prize.


To start the game, select one receivers from the field to advance towards the end zone. Each player gives you a different reward for choosing him, and each play requires Footballs, which you earn via quests. You can also get additional Footballs by logging in every day, as well as collecting some more from incidents.


For every yard you move forward, your rank in the League will progress. With higher ranking come better rewards! At the end of the event, you will receive additional special rewards based on your ranking. Aim for a higher rank to gain access to some awesome extra rewards!


Just like last year, you will have the assistance of five highly experienced team coaches. You can change your current coach by clicking his portrait in the the top left corner. There, you'll be able to select a coach that best suits your play calling strategy. There are four specialized coaches, and each of them provides different advantages as you advance your team to a touchdown. There's also the Ultimate Coach, who provides all these advantages combined.

At the beginning the tutorial will guide you to select the Default Coach, once the tutorial has ended you will be able to change strategies and select a different coach if you wish. They will work for you for 24 hours (but you can dismiss them earlier), after which they will have a 24 hour cooldown period during which they cannot be rehired. However, they will rejoin you earlier for a small fee. This cooldown does not apply to the Default Coach and the Ultimate Coach.

Default Coach	Progress Coach	Special Coach	League Coach	Ultimate Coach
Provides a small chance to double a play reward.	This coach grants extra yard progress for each play	Increases the chance of winning the Daily Special	Doubles the points earned towards the League Table	Provides the bonuses of all the Coaches together

With Forge Bowl 2023 we're also introducing two new exciting branch buildings! The event's main reward is the Pergola (5x4), at level 11 you will be able to choose between the Pizzeria or Bistro! You will receive the level 1 building from the questline, and you can upgrade it all the way to the level 10 then for level 11 you can choose between the Pizzeria or the Bistro. To do so, you need a Pergola Upgrade Kit .

BritishBoy said: What will I receive as future age goods if I am in last current age?

Similar to previous age goods in Bronze Age, they will provide goods of your age instead.

BritishBoy said: Is this perk storable and usable when new age comes out or it goes right to your goods pile in moment when you receive it?

Again, similar to previous age goods rewards, this will not be an Inventory Item, but a reward, that is instantly added.  

CrashBoom said: current age only or random up to the players age?

There are 2 options, just like the goods rewards from your age: Random from unlocked or all from unlocked.

CrashBoom said: and for ages below AF ?

In case there are no special goods unlocked yet, you will receive next age goods.  

You get these from pretty much everywhere in the Event, so it is not really specified. You will see more, once the Event is active tomorrow  

CrashBoom said: is "event building" only real event buildings
or for all other special buildings too (from GEx, settlements, ...)

and is all both: category "houses" and production buildings (like Magnum Opus)

All buildings, that can not be found in the building menu fall under that, so it works for Magnum Opus, Golden Orrery, Log Cabin, Shinto Temple, Rogue Hideout, etc., but not for buildings like Hatmaker.  

Here are the current stats for the new Event buildings:

Required Fragments for : 30  

The Event is available on mobile, once you have the version 1.245.5 (or higher) downloaded and installed.  

Dear Kings and Queens,
Tomorrow, we will make some adjustments to the Event.

• We have increased the amount of some rewards, exchanged some fragment rewards with the full item and replaced some worse rewards with better ones.
• The Pizzeria will now produce Previous Age Goods as well (0 in Bronze Age, 10-30, in later ages).

Thank you for providing your feedback! If you have some regarding these changes, please post them in the feedback thread here!

Your Forge of Empires Team  

Dear Kings and Queens,
It is time again for the after Beta changes, that will be applied to the Live Event.

• Firstly, we have decided to adjust the price for the Ultimate Coach. Instead of 150 diamonds, it will now cost 475 diamonds.
• Next, we have increased the Fragments of the Epic Forge Bowl 2023 Selection Kit from 5 to 10 at the daily specials.
• We have also increased the amount of some rewards in the Bowl Prizes.
• The Milestone Quests now provide 100 Footballs more each.
• The Pizzeria now provides 2 Fragments of the Store Building Kit.

We also want to inform you, that we initially announced, that 30 Fragments for the Store Building Kit are required, that was false and is only 15. Lastly, the "cryptic" reward increase from the last announcement was referring to daily specials specifically.
Thank you all for your feedback, it really helped improving the event and especially to see, how the new rewards are liked.

A Merry Christmas from
Your Forge of Empires Team
