Chapter after Halflings?

[DeletedUser2947]

This year (2017?)

Same question about uses for blueprints other than magic buildings.

Month after month I listen to the newest episode. Lots of mobile hype, but nothing about the two topics mentioned above.

Sorry, but tedium (coupled with apathy about the barely-changed FA) is setting in. I'd like a reason to stay and play the game I've loved for so long.

Answers are the same everywhere I've seen...
New race: Probably Elementals, Probably in a few more weeks but maybe a few more after that. (Waiting on enough people to get there to use the new trade system for Sentient Goods)
Blueprints: Probably will upgrade event buildings, but probably may never come.

Finished halflings and wondering that too

While not as exciting as doing research and building new buildings, I am enjoying finally getting to do a mass upgrade on my Ancient Wonders.

Have to say I am enjoying that too. Only been a few days but not having anything to research means I can help out a lot of members with their AW and such without slowing my research down.

In the Beta Forums - Maridor confirmed that we won't see the new guest race until after the Winter event - so I'm not planning on seeing them until Jan time frame. Will just keep collecting KP and upgrading AWs till then - as well as building stockpiles of mana, divine seeds, and goods.

That is correct, and new races in particular are not always ready for us a week or two after Beta, so we still do not have a firm idea when we may see it here.

I know there are many anxious players, and it will happen

Guess accounting is making the push to get even more players on to the end of the KP tree, just found this announcement in my junk mail:

Tomorrow only: Elvenar Black Friday!
Elvenar Black Friday is upon us once again, which means a variety of valuable offers up for grabs!
New offers every 3 hours

Starting on 24th November from 9:15 EST, there will be new offers every 3 hours throughout the day, so keep coming back to check for the latest deal!

Does anyone have a clue yet as to the space needed for Elementals? I will be finishing Halflings this weekend and need to completely change the layout of my city for upgrades...
Since the layout change will be drastic. I'm hoping to get a hint of what shape to leave my free space

 

[WolfSinger]

We probably won't have any ideas on space until the new race is at least introduced on Beta. Keep an eye on the Beta forum for when they are introduced there and then visit Elvenarchitect to start playing with possible set-ups for you city. That's what I do in order to open space for the guest race and well as changes to current buildings.

most likely residences will change size and orientation, T1 factories will and armories will change size, maybe also main hall, so i would place them as much as possible at the bottom and right side of the city to have room for the shape change

If the previous patterns continue expect the changes mentioned by @dikke ikke

• Armouries - They are alternating armoury and barracks upgrades and we just had barracks
• Goods have been going in a rotation of 1,2,3,1,2,3 (halflings). 3 factories remain to be "taken over" by a guest race so likely to see the pattern continue
• Residences and workshops alternate between which one changes direction. They stay the same for 2 chapters then change direction. Halfings changes the workshops so they are likely to remain in place while residence have had the same footprint since S&D so likely due to rotate.
• Merc camp I believe is meant to get to level 16 eventually but unlikely to be this chapter as it was the last. That said I believe I read that level 16 will be the last for merc camp and training grounds. With one already at level 16 we may get a surprise this chapter. That is also assuming they haven't decided to expand them beyond 16 in which case the training grounds might change.
• Main hall is an unknown - Recently they started to change this but no consistent pattern as yet
• Trader is also a little unknown. While it finally got an upgrade in halflings the concept of sentient goods may see a change, but we know very little to nothing at this stage.

While we have no specific information those are the patterns of the past. Inno can change this at anytime though like with trader and main hall..

A dony bird told me

Spoiler: Huge spoilers, I guarantee nothing =)

residences are going to 4x4 with 2600 then 2800 pop
Trader is going to level 3 at 5x5 (I'm least sure about this)
The guest race buildings require a minimum of 456 squares to complete quests.
Sentient goods are being added, and you will gain new boosted goods.
If you are marble boosted now, you will get a steel boost, meaning you must make a level 24 steel factory so you can produce Sentient Steel. Much like how you needed to upgrade armories to level 20 to make orcs

 

[dikke ikke]

does this dony bird of yours also had info on t1 factory size, armory size ? What I quickly calculated is that i need at least 2 expansions to accomodate the new guest race and the new size residenses, so it will be more like 4 expansions. Running slowly but surely to the end of non primary space

That sounds horrible and exactly like what would happen... I hope I shouldn't have kept all these relics I've been trashing for mana.

5x4 or 4x5 factories, I don't know about armories though.

 

[dikke ikke]

trashing relics for mana ? luckily i don't know how My lowest relic is 1125 for scrolls

As soon as everything is updated/upgraded in elvenar architect we can make a new city layout. But the fact that details are emerging means it will be coming soon, like this month, i hope

I got those details back in October....but there's still hope for a end of January launch.

One would think it will be announced in whatever new format the "inno tv" has converted to this year. Since we have heard nothing yet in January perhaps we will be lucky otherwise it might be Feb before live sees anything.
