FoE Basics: Collective Wisdom

Events

1. I’d recommend that everybody have at least a 4×4 space open in their City. This will allow them to place a “quest required” challenge to build a Residential, Supply, Goods or Military building of their Age. As they get past the Colonial Age they may need to increase it to a 5×5 space or larger.

Fighting

1. When you are doing battle look at enemy Rogues as a benefit to you! The more Rogues they use the better your chances of winning the battle. The strategy is that if you take out all enemy units before the Rogues then the Rogues have nothing to “morph” into so all you have to do when the enemy units are gone is hit a Rogue with any unit and they disappear.

2. When possible when fighting using rogues, bring along other units that retaliate. That way when your rogue gets hit, you take 0 damage, but deal a free attack!

3. During Daily quest battles (i.e. “Defeat this medium sized army”) and the Guild Expedition, the computer will preferentially attack any “un-morphed” rogues. Have your rogues advance first so that you can get as many 0 damage hits as possible.

4. During continent map battles, the computer will target the nearby or damaged units. When a unit sustains significant damage, have it retreat!

General

1. Reduce the number of “low producing” Culture features so that when someone “Aids” you it will be more likely to go to a building you would prefer Aid to be applied to instead of a Fence, Bush or unit of that nature.

2. Shorter Goods production times are more advantageous when you can collect them on time. Here is a breakdown if you collected as soon as a production finishes to show you:

* These values include partial completion of a 2 Day production. The actual goods you would collect in 24 Hrs is 0, and in 7 Days is 90.
