Forge of Empires Dev Tracker

Dear Kings and Queens,

Today we will make some balancing changes to the Gentiana Windmill. We have increased the Forge Points from 10 to 11 Forge Points, slightly increased the Goods amount from the random production and removed the need for motivation.  

FYI: The Event is available on mobile, once you have the version 1.230.8 (or higher) downloaded and installed.  

Dear Kings and Queens,

Firstly, I have to apologize, that this announcement is so late. This is completely my fault here.
During the beta phase, we noticed, that the amount of event currency given was higher than intended. This means, we had to adjust it. The following adjustments were done:

• Daily login: 42 → 50 Scrolls
• Rush Quests: 70 → 40 Scrolls
• Daily Quests: 95 → 80 Scrolls
• Milestone Reward: 1000 → 650 Scrolls

With this change, the balancing of the Event was changed to the intended one. We know, that this change is not one you might like, which is only amplified by this late announcement. We totally understand your feeling regarding this change, but it is a change, that had to be done. We are once again sorry.

• The first quest in the Soccer Event had the wrong resource. This has now been adjusted and the icon matches the needed resource.
• We made an important change earlier this week already. We have now removed the happiness modifier for battles and replaced it with a 1.2 modifier. This change was done because of various reasons. Firstly, it led to many additional requests, which in result led to a significant server load, especially shortly after a new battleground started. Secondly, this modifier had a significant influence when it was introduced. Over the years the game changed and many players have an enthusiastic population and if they don't have it, they don't care about the points. Because of these facts it was decided to go this way. For most players, it will not make any difference at all, for some it will lead to slightly more ranking points from battles (if their population was not e...
