Forge of Empires Dev Tracker

For our first community vote, we've gathered 20 popular suggestions that you then helped us prioritize with your vote. Read this Knowledgebase article to discover what we could and could not implement and why.

Now, the community vote goes into the second round! This time, we include suggestions about new features we have released since and the ideas that didn't make it in the first round. Some of the top-voted suggestions turned out to be too big to get implemented within the time we had, so we are putting them back in rotation. Your vote will help us understand if your priorities changed since April and shifted towards new content.

Dear adventurer, we did more changes to the buildings from the Fellowship Event. We want Quantum Incursion Army Boosts to become a bit more common, however only during events. With our previous change we added the army boost to the Whisperwood Watermill, however you quickly commented, that having this boost on a "printable" (getting more from the league reward for free) building was not a good idea. And we agree. This is why we moved it to another reward, you can't get many of so easily. In addition, we decided to remove the Quantum Units and Goods from permanent buildings, as they are very strong and limit Quantum Coins and Supplies on permanent buildings. As some buildings got their QI boost removed, we increased the other stats for them. But enough with the reasons, here are the changes in detail:

• Whisperwood Watermill:

Dear adventurer, we bring you changes to the event. Listen carefully to not miss any details:

Banquet chests​

To promote more diverse strategic options, we opted to slightly reduce the amount you receive from opening all chests.

Whisperwood Watermill​

To connect to the previous change, we did some improvements to the stats of the Whisperwood Watermill

The current Quantum Incursions Championship 3 will run for 5 Seasons instead of 6. In addition, the Championship 4 will also be shortened to 5 Seasons.

This change comes in preparation for a future Quantum Incursions update that aims to adjust the feature balancing within the game economy and reduce the inner competition within Guilds that is currently being driven by the feature setup. We find it crucial to adjust those aspects as quickly as possible in order to contain the potential negative impact.

In addition, we want to return to the old two-Season gap between BETA and LIVE Championship starts to allow us to react to BETA feedback better. As a result, we opted to adjust the duration of the Championship. Due the combination of those reasons and the overall importance of Quantum Incursions for Forge of Empires, we see no scenario that would allow us to maintain the regular duration.

As the future update is still being worked ... Read more

On Wednesday, the 28th of August, around 10:30 CEST, BETA will be undergoing a technical maintenance. We expect a downtime of around 60 minutes. Although we aim to minimize the downtime, it is paramount that the maintenance is fully completed, so it might take longer than expected.
In addition, there will be no daily update on this day.

We apologize for any potential inconvenience and thank you for understanding.

A brand-new addition to Forge is about to arrive on the BETA server today! From now on, you will be able to join forces with the key historical figures and benefit from their vast knowledge to boost your gameplay. View and manage your Allies in the new off-grid Hall of Legends building and place them into specialized rooms we will gradually make available in selected City buildings to gain valuable bonuses.

Important! This release brings only the first iteration of the feature. We want the Historical Allies to become an integral part of the game, so we are taking things slow and plan to evolve and update the feature in iterations, applying learnings as we go.

Starting from August 19th, you'll notice that Finish Special Productions and Finish All Special Productions items can no longer be applied to:

• Guild Battlegrounds and Quantum Incursions buildings that produce building Fragments.

It will also remain that the items cannot be applied to:

• Time-limited buildings;
• Cultural Settlements buildings on the Ascended Level.

We understand that this change can significantly impact your gameplay, so we want to assure you that this decision did not to us come lightly.

The reason behind the change​

To help you achieve your faster city growth and layout updates we made FSP/FASP items readily available as rewards and as products of certain buildings. However, this availability has led to a widespread strategy where players use buildings that produce FSP/FASP items to collect the necessary Fragments and acquire hard-to-get GBG and QI buildings...
