Space Age: Jupiter Moon blasts off on April 25th!

from The Forge of Empires team on 4/22/22 at 9:14 am

Mankind has triumphed over energy, transportation, and nourishment. However, cosmic rays and electromagnetic radiation hinders further exploration possibilities. To solve this challenge to our species, our best minds have gotten together and found a solution.

They look to Jupiter's Moons, to the aquatic lifeforms which have developed resistance to harsh cosmic waves and radiation (in the form of a bioluminescent protective layer).

They believe through cultivating this lifeform, and splicing its exotic genes with ours, that we can better withstand space's unforgiving radiation.

However, to accomplish this, this gene needs to be refined and adjusted to our forms. Furthermore, it needs to be tested extensively. Due to the fragility of this gene, this can only be done on the Moon itself, underwater in its natural habitat.

Will you triumph in this pursuit? Join us and play Space: Age Jupiter Moon on April 25th!

The new Wildlife Event!

from The Forge of Empires team on 7/9/21 at 7:00 am

Summer is the time for adventure, and what could be a better adventure than a Wildlife Park! See animals thriving in their natural habitat, and follow the tracks they leave behind. They may lead you somewhere that will be worth your while!

The Wildlife Event is a completely new Event in Forge of Empires, with a new Pop-2 mechanic! Every level has a finite number of moves, and these are consumed with each pop. The goal is to pop 2 or more blocks to free up space and drop rewards. However, that is not all! By matching 5 or more, you can also create Reward Chests. Where the strategy comes in, is how you maximize those moves! If you would like to know more, full details are contained in the Forum post here.

We look forward to seeing you during the Event!

Chrome 86 Issues

from The Forge of Empires team on 10/13/20 at 8:00 pm

We have found that players updating their Google Chrome browser to version 86 could encounter trouble playing our game, showing itself in being unable to load the game client, or in a slow gaming experience if it is possible to load the game. This, in most cases, is caused by the browser's hardware acceleration feature being disabled for you by the Google Chrome update to version 86. You can re-enable this feature manually, which will allow you to play the game again in most cases.

If the issue still persist, it could also be related to a compatibility problem, most likely caused by outdated drivers for your system, especially your graphics card. In case that's the issue, you need to update your graphics card driver.
Finally, you can also try playing the game through another browser of your choice (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, which is not Chromium-based), or you are welcome to contact our support team by clicking the green "Contact us about this issue" button through the link below. We will be happy to assist you wherever we can!

For more information on the drivers issue, or about how to turn the hardware acceleration on, please check our Knowledge Base article.

Our Game Designer, Micha, is seeking a book in an old and dusty library. Can he find what he's looking for? Or does he need help from a mysterious figure... find out more on the Forun HERE!

This year's Halloween season, we've transformed the conventional questline of years past into a fully-fledged event. An old ghastly library has to be uncovered. Exchange candies for special tools in order to get rid of thick cobwebs blocking your path to some rare treasures. In this year's event questline, a Death Druid seeks your help in rekindling ancient stories. Listen carefully as she regales you with dark tales. With the help of the old Librarian she will offer you 52 quests in total. You'll receive 30 rush quests, and then 22 quests, with one appearing each day. Quester beware, you're in for a scare!

You will be able to work on solving all the Librarian and Death Druid’s quests until the 5th of November. Good Luck!

GvG Improvements

from The Forge of Empires team on 7/9/19 at 2:25 pm

Greetings Kings and Queens,

First up, we wanted to thank you once again for taking the time to continue to contribute your feedback on the upcoming changes to Forge of Empires, especially in relation to Guild Battlegrounds. You will remember that during the announcement of the Guild Battlegrounds (embed link), we stated that we'd be putting some effort into improving Guild vs. Guild (GvG) as well. We'd like to keep you updated on what we're planning to do, as we're about to get started on implementing the following improvements, and would love to hear some community insight into if you feel these additions address some of the fundamental issues GvG faces.

Guild Battlegrounds

from The Forge of Empires team on 5/19/19 at 11:59 pm

Hello Queens and Kings,

In the past few months, we have been thinking about what to do with the current browser-only feature: Guild versus Guild (GvG). Since its release, we knew GvG was a very complex feature, in technical and usability terms. We know that this, along with its many issues and lack of scalability, has rendered GvG the one feature that is used by only a very few of you out there. Less than 5% of you are playing the feature, while for Guild Expeditions it is 10 times more. These numbers clearly show we can do better - our aim is to provide you with a more approachable, understandable and technically stable gaming experience. Forge of Empires has evolved over the last few years, as has the game team, and we want every feature in our game to be appealing to, and for, as many of you as possible.

With that in mind, we raised several questions that we would like to share with you to explain our next steps on how to improve the overall Guild gameplay experience. Read this and ALL about the new Guild Battlegrounds in our Forum HERE.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!
Your Forge of Empires Team​

Virtual Future Part II

from The Forge of Empires team on 11/12/18 at 10:18 am

A lot has happened in the VR Network. A man called "Dr. Neurodeath" was tasked by one government to program new interfaces responsible for the routing processes within the VR network. Using a switch he secretly placed in the code allowed him to temporarily take control over the whole VR network. He used this moment of absolute power to overwrite owner certificates and header files, granting him a big share of all VR domains. From this moment on, "Dr. Neurodeath" was the Number One in the VR network. Throughout all his domains, he enforced weird laws and regulations, and some markets almost collapsed under the burden of his insanity.

The second part of the Virtual Future will be available on Wednesday, the 14th of November, after the Update to Version 1.139 takes place. Be sure to read all about it on our Forum HERE.

Reconstruction Mode

from The Forge of Empires team on 8/31/18 at 9:28 pm

Dear Queens and Kings,

The City is the central part of Forge of Empires. It is the core of your efforts and a visual representation of your progress and might. Over time, many players have managed to expand their cities to large metropolises. While they are great to look at, they are not so easy to manage. The tools we had in place to move buildings around work very well for small to medium-sized cities. However, as cities grew and the current average city size is far greater than a few years ago, it's become increasingly obvious that significant changes to very large cities are somewhat cumbersome to execute.

To solve this issue, we came up with a new mode that allows you to make large-scale changes much easier :). We have been checking its performance over the last few weeks.
Now, we are happy to announce that we will be making it available to all Forge of Empires players on Tuesday, 4th of September.

For a video on how Reconstruction Mode works and more information, read the post on the Forum HERE!

Your First Great Building - A Guide Questline For New Players

from The Forge of Empires team on 10/9/17 at 12:10 am

As you know, new players constantly join the community of Forge of Empires making it larger and stronger. However, we have noticed that some parts of the game are not always clear to everybody, so we would like to improve the way we explain them :). And we would like to begin with Great Buildings.

In order for this to happen, we will introduce a short questline that will be integrated into the early phase of the game. The questline (not abortable, like the main story line) will guide new players through the process of obtaining blueprints and leveling Great Buildings up. We will also introduce a new Great Building - Oracle of Delphi - that will serve as an example.

The questline, as well as the Great Building, will be a permanent feature of the game available from October 11th on.

Please note that the questline will not be shown to players who are farther down the tech-tree than mid-Iron Age. We made sure the Oracle of Delphi Great Building will be useful to Iron Age players, but not really that interesting for advanced users. If you're past mid-Iron Age and you are interested in building it in your city, keep in mind that the only way to get blueprints is by contributing to existing Oracles.

Yours,
The Forge of Empires Team

QUEST OVERVIEW

from The Forge of Empires team on 9/6/17 at 2:39 pm

Dear Queens and Kings,

Quests are one of the central parts of Forge of Empires. They lead players through the game and often determine their progress. The current system that we were using for the past five years has been great and worked well, but it had several restrictions that were always very limiting when it comes to what we could do with quests.
We sat down and thought about possible improvements to the way we show them and present them to you.
We came up with a new Quest Overview which should be able to display all of the needed information in an efficient way and provide the possibility for future expansion.

Summer is here and that means the Summer Casino is open for business again! This year, it's run by two royal guests from an empire far away: Maharaja and his wife Maharani. They want to establish a casino in their own empire, so this year they take over from Greva (with her permission, of course), to learn about the business.

There are awesome prizes to be won, so make sure you visit their Summer Casino! If you didn't have a chance to participate in our previous events, now you have an opportunity to compete with your neighbors to claim some of those old event items, as well as brand new Summer items.

The event starts on Wednesday, June 28th and you have till July 19th to win as many rewards as possible.

See the video and information in the forum to learn more about this year's Summer Event HERE.

Dear Queens and Kings,

Do you still remember Hilde who organized the May Day festival last year? Time sure flies and she's back! This time she took her brother Halvard with her. Halvard knows a lot about maypoles, so if you help his sister have a May Day festival as good as the ones from her youth, he will surely reward you generously :).

Over the course of two weeks, from 27th of April to May 11th, Hilde will present you with a series of quests. There are 12 quests that you can do right away. Complete them and Halvard will grant you a new Maypole Upgrade item that you can use to upgrade your Maypole to a Mighty Maypole (2x3). Not to mention other goodies, like for example Renovation Kit.
Don't worry if you don't have a Maypole yet! You will get one right after completing the very first quest :).

Guild Expedition- New Rewards

from The Forge of Empires team on 2/12/17 at 11:18 am

Guild Expeditions are by now a well-established and popular feature of Forge of Empires. We've got some changes incoming (on Tuesday) that we think are pretty exciting. Read the Forum HERE for more information!

We have implemented new rewards!
There are new buildings as well as new consumable items.
What we were aiming for here was to introduce some rewards specific to Guild Expeditions, in much the same way as you can only get certain rewards from certain in-game events. We think that this can add more variety to the game, and also allows you to show off your Guild Expedition accomplishments better.

Venice Carnival Event

from The Forge of Empires team on 2/6/17 at 8:14 pm

Dear Kings and Queens,

Carnivals are rooted in an old tradition. The Carnival in Venice started as a festival in honor of the victory of the Republic of Venice against the Patriarch of Aquileia in the year 1162. The celebration changed and evolved over the years and was even banned for nearly two centuries before reaching its contemporary style.

On February 8th you have a chance to lose yourself in the colorful maelstrom that is the carnival of Venice. You will also assist a mysterious quest giver in finding love.
You will do so by offering roses to masked attendants of a ball. They may give you hearts in return. Use them wisely and get great rewards! You can enjoy the Venice Carnival till February 28th.

A new historical questline will be starting on Monday, September 5th! This time - as you can see - we will follow the life of Elisabeth, Empress of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Queen consort of Croatia and Bohemia.

If you manage to complete all the quests in time (by September 12th), you will get a unique portrait of Sisi and a brand new production building: Aviary with varying production options!
The Aviary is also the very first building of our 'Baroque garden set', which you can only get by completing historical questlines.

Enjoy!

Dear Kings and Queens!

It is now time to add another extension to our Guild Expedition feature! Please welcome: The Guild Championships!

This brand new addition will take Expeditions to another level, and - for the first time in Forge of Empires history - will allow for cross world competition!

From 6th of September onward, every week your guild will be grouped together with up to 6 similarly-sized random guilds from different worlds of our language version. During the 6-days long Expedition, you will be able to compete against them. Make sure that as many of your guild mates as possible complete the Expedition to get to the very top of the ladder!

Arctic Future – part 2

from The Forge of Empires team on 8/29/16 at 3:39 am

Dear Players!

Every new bit of information you gather in the Arctic suggests you're in the right place, but you're not there yet! You must progress even further into the harsh, frosty territories, but it will be worth it!

As you remember, we are no longer progressing further in time, but we rather explore futuristic themes - with Arctic Future being the first one.
Your journey will continue from August 30th on!

Summer Event is Coming!

from The Forge of Empires team on 7/27/16 at 9:25 am

Dear Kings and Queens,

Summer is here and that means Greva's Summer Casino will soon open for business again! This year she decided to go for a Polynesian theme: sun, sand and crystal clear water.

If you didn't have a chance to participate in our previous events, now you have an opportunity to compete with your neighbors to claim some of those old event items, as well as brand new Summer items.

The event starts on Wednesday, August 3rd, so you will soon be able to jump right into it! All the fun is of course also available via the mobile app.

To spin the Wheel of Fortune in the Summer Casino you need tickets, which Greva (and occasionally other advisers) is more than happy to help you with... in exchange for completing tasks, of course.

You have plenty of time, as the event will end on August 24th, but if you're advancing very quickly through the questline there are also a few bonus quests that will activate, which are more difficult and provide a slightly bigger challenge, for a chance at an extra ticket. THE EVENT WILL END ON AUGUST 24th. (NO EXTRA TURN IN DAYS.)

Let us present you: the Temple of Relics!

Temple of Relics is a new Great Building, with its functionality tied to the Guild Expeditions. The blueprints will be available starting on July, 21st, mid-day. Read all about it HERE.

Negotiation Game

from The Forge of Empires team on 6/11/16 at 12:13 pm

Dear Explorers!

As you remember, when we first introduced Guild Expeditions, we promised that we will also develop a peaceful way of solving encounters in the jungle.
Until now, the 'Negotiate' option when clicking an encounter has been padlocked. With the upcoming Expedition, starting on Tuesday, instead of battling your way through the unknown territory to eradicate evil invaders, you will also be able to trade with locals using your resources.

We proudly present - the Negotiation Game!

If you succeed and complete negotiations, they will let you through and you will solve your encounter with no fight whatsoever! This will not be the simple pay&go solution that you know from the single player campaign map. Instead, we will entertain you with a negotiation game where you will need both, luck and the power of your mind!

There will be a short period of downtime during the update, we apologize for this little inconvenience.

Improvements

We have implemented two significant changes to the Hardware Acceleration feature. They should improve the game performance noticeably. The improvement should be particularly perceptible after an hour or two of playing.
The increasing memory usage when a city was left open for some time has been fixed.
Cache handling after visiting other cities has been redone. This should reduce the memory consumption even more.

Bugfixes

UI bugfixes
Player could have negative points shown visible next on the neighborhood bar.
Fixed various issues where unit health points were not updating correctly when healing.
City hall & Market - Fixed an issue where goods names that are too long were either cut off or left their allotted space.
Some missing translations in GvG have been added.
The Forge Points timer was sometimes overlapping the building menu.
Sell/Move/Cancel options were not always shown when the building menu is open.

Other bugfixes
In rare occasions it was possible to have no neighborhood.
Moving/Selling houses was not possible in first session, right after finishing the tutorial.
The game was not loading correctly if a Flash player was set to restrict size of the available local storage.
Fixed an issue where a Flash error could occur when closing the army management window.
Fixed an issue where a player could get stuck in battle.
Quest 'Dictator's Death' did not work exactly as in the quest's description.
Quest ‘A Little Helper’ did not recognize available tinplate after setting a trade.

There's rewards and prizes all to be won,
Quick! Come claim them, Before they're all gone!

What's that? You say. Is that a phantom?
Don't be silly, it's just Jack O'Lantern!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Kings and Queens,


One more time you will have a chance to meet the infamous Jack O'Lantern, a man of scare and distaste! Your pumpkin-headed guest will come to your city on 22nd of October and will remain there till the 5th of November. Not surprisingly, the spooky quest giver will challenge you with a series of riddles for you to solve... Do not fear though! Jack O'Lantern is mysterious, yet in fact very friendly and generous creature and he will reward you in adequately unusual way if you manage to solve all the riddles on time.
And he will reveal his real identity, too!


Good luck with solving the riddles!
If you wish to discuss the event, please go here.
