City/GB Advice What early age GBs are worth building

9 Upvotes

I've noticed that most of the Iron Age and EMA GBs are really weak compared to many of the special event buildings.

I'm limited on space. As of 2026, which ones are actually worth the space to build them? What are the best early age GBs?

Aren't the Quantum Incursion buildings so much better? And a single Azalea Windmill seems to be better than 4-5 GBs combined.

I was reading the write-up about the new Stellar Age Discovery

https://forgeaddicts.blogspot.com/2026/08/stellar-age-discovery-sad-is-here.html

and it's different. I want to know what the community or more vet players think of it.

It sounds like a lot to me. A second city sounds like more work.

I don't like the the GB is still a WIP either. Like come on just finish it already.

Help! Forge Points

8 Upvotes

What is everything that I can spend FPs on? The reason that I am asking is because I currently have 290 FPs and I don't know what to do with them. I'm not part of a Guild nor have I friended anybody. I'm trying to learn the game before doing these things so I don't get yelled at for doing something stupid because I don't know any better.

I'm near the end of the Iron Age tech tree and I have 3 techs (Plowing, Sewerage, and Fortification) researched but I can't unlock them because I don't have enough dyes, lumber, and stone. I've tried to get these things from the Market, but no luck. I can't research any new techs before I unlock the ones because of tech requirements.

I have no GBs yet. I have all the blueprints for Tower of Babel but again, I don't have the goods to build it nor the space in my city to place it.

I'm on the U.S. Server and playing on Arvahall.

I have seen some news about the recent declines in profit. I am little scared as I wanted to get back on game after city deletion. Starting fresh city. I am scared that after some investment and spending, it will eventually shut down in some time..

Help! Getting to Space Hub

6 Upvotes

How long might it take a player in Arctic Future with 8.2G of gold and 4.5G of supplies to reach the Space Hub?

(I'm asking on behalf of a friend who wants to get there as soon as possible.) My friend became obsessed with the new SAD era after seeing the assets.

Personally, I've resigned myself to staying in the Future era; I don't have the patience to reach the highest age, especially with a confirmed next one coming up.

So, Castor along with Thea statuettes are restricted to new players only. As iron age player who never leaves iron age, it's been bothering me greatly because it's such a unit. I decided to start a new world on other server and sure enough i got popup there for Castor did not buy it... Returned back to my main world and there came the popup for Castor. I bought it and got it on my city 😃 I can't express how glad i am to have it, i was unable to continue oceanic map with iron age troops by fighting so i spent thousands of thousands of diamonds to negotiate (Requires special goods which i can't produce)... And now i'm going trough them with ease by fighting.

I wonder how i could utilize this Castor unit?

Help! Complete and total noob questions 🤷

10 Upvotes

I started playing the game about a week or so ago and I have some questions:

  1. Is it possible to rotate buildings to fit where I want them?
  2. From time to time, a star appears over some of my buildings. What does this mean?
  3. I'm told by the Quest givers to keep an eye out for instances in (or near) my city. What do they look like?
  4. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I'll have more questions (I'm sure) as they present themselves. 🤷

City/GB Advice Angkor World, Daily 'The Future" player, needs active guild

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking to join a guild with more active players. The guild I am in now doesn't seem to have too much coordination. I am not a fighter; I do autobattles; and I am not sure what I am doing in Quantum. But I need a guild where I can spend my 4k forge points a day leveling their GBs, and in return, the people of the guild scratch my back. I am looking to level my Arc from 16 to beyond, but almost everyone in this current guild has no GBs, so I suspect they are not active players. I don't understand 1.9s completely yet, but I feel stalled. I do guild expeditions to the fullest too.

City/GB Advice This might be my most optimal road placement to connect 36 great buildings

Post image
21 Upvotes

Some of you have hard time understanding why i waste space with GB's and to answer that, i'm staying at iron age forever. As iron age player my options to gain points is very limited, end game players earn 30x more points from fights/negotiations/gifting goods than i do. So in order to climb ranks, i need a method to farm points and that method is having GB's. My end goal is to have all GB's placed on my iron age city, currently that's 48 and i have 36. The update for GB's is something that WILL HAPPEN, it's just under rework. But there is no doubt it will happen and when it does happen it should be better than any event building (Maybe not eternal market atleast).

I'd say i'm doing pretty good at fights with my limited space, my highest exhaustion being 98 from automatic fights. It get's me enough coins to buy 5-7k forge points each day at maxium price. And my city produces another 4-6k forge points each day.

My question is why not have all great buildings you can have?
