Hi gamers!
I haven't posted lately about my favorite game, Forge of Empires (FoE).
I am excited to have fun in the Forge Bowl event in the popular online game that I'll call FoE for shorter. For those of you who may be unfamiliar, FoE is a strategy game where players can build and expand their own city, research new technologies, and battle against other players, solo or in a guild.
What I love the most about FoE is that it is not Play-to-Earn! :) I can fully relax when playing it!
Also, it is, in some aspects, similar to blogging on HIVE. If I am getting busier, or something, or someone pisses me off, I could just leave the game and not play for a while. My cities will not be destroyed or disappear. Back to the event now!
The game could be played by focusing on "economical" and "military" long-term strategy and took me more than an year to figure out that the game is developed to support better those players who follow the "military" way.
The Forge Bowl event is a special recurring (once a year) competition that takes place within the game, where players compete against each other, but not in a direct way. All the special events in the game, once fully completed, give a special event building. The event lasts for a limited time, and players must work on a daily basis, that's during the event, to complete all the event quests and collect all the upgrade for that particular event building as it provides a good boost for the attacking army as bonus % for its defense and attack. Playing the bowl gives points that increase the rank in the Event League.
For this event it is crucial to be at least in the "Bronze" as it is the lowest rank that gives the necessary event building upgrade so the special building is fully set. In order to get all the upgrades I have to complete all the event quests. Here is an example of how one looks:
(the event countdown could be seen in the upper right-hand corner of the quest)
Once completed, it gives a certain number of bowls, that could be used on the football field:
Once a day the event gives extra bowls for logging in too.
Everything is randomized. Each of the players gives a chance to win a daily special or another standard game item.
A coach can be selected and each of the coaches helps in a different way.
There is a special "super" coach; hiring him costs Diamonds (that's the equivalent of money in the game)
As with many other games, there are standard (free) and premium (paid) sets of prizes for winning the field. Up until last year, the premium set was able to be unlocked with Diamonds, but presently it can only be unlocked by paying with a bank card or PayPal.
I don't like that much but hey, everyone thinks they need more money in this sophisticated world situation, right? ;)
Still, extra bowls could be acquired with Diamonds.
One base and ten upgrades are required for the full event special building:
Then the final one is up to me, I have to decide do I want "Pizzeria" or "Bistro" as they will provide different daily rewards.
This is the current cityscape of my most developed city as of today:
If you decide to give the game a try, note that I play on the UK server.
I am pretty sure you can guess what my nickname is there :))) I would love to give you a helping hand you if you start to play on that server!
All the images above are screen grabs from my PC but the game could be played on a mobile device as well, I tried it on Android and iOS devices during the years; of course, it has a slightly different user experience there. Also, some of the features are not fully supported, some even fully missing on the mobile versions.
