and Forge of Empires offers a lot of them! What befits strategic game, the room for maneuver in developing our city is very complex. Our empire will need not only residential buildings, but also production, goods and military ones, as well as "culture" places. The last ones directly affect the satisfaction of residents, which is one of the game basic mechanics. Populations satisfactions means increased productivity! What is more a well-thought-out road network will be necessary to save space within the city. Planning our settlement of is crucial if we want to become world class leaders!
In order to move to the next eras in the game, it is necessary to break further technological barriers. However, you need a lot of patience. Even getting to the Iron Age is very time-consuming thing, not to mention advancing to subsequent ages: Early Middle Ages, its heyday, "autumn" and finally the Colonial era up to Modernity. Beside developing technologies and infrastructure, we must also remember to ensure a constant supply of basic resources. Remember that active trading is good way to go.
When it comes to the PVP clashes, expanding our army and adapting it to the conditions of the era is cleary a must! Keep in mind that sometimes the best defense is an attack. If it is possible - try to take control over as many battlefields as you can. Skirmishes also have one very important role. Winning them gives us an "injection" of all kinds of resources. As you can see, all game features are inseparably connected.
Besides regular resources we also have the premium one - diamonds. They are very valuable and it is not worth spending them in the early stages of the game. Its really hard to earn them later so we mainly have to spend real money to acquire that currency. However, diamonds are not necessary in the game progress so there is no Pay2Win model for sure. Of course, diamonds are speeding up rise of our empire, but all of this can also be achieved with more conventional methods. If you do not want to pay, all you have to do as I mentioned before is to be patient!
