The Tale of Robert Redbeard

[SoggyShorts]

Having back-to-back quests to gain relics and solve encounters means scouting 3-4 provinces, or more. Scouting takes long unless you have Instants to speed it up, or you spend diamonds.

The simple fix for this is to scout 3-4 provinces before an event starts. I always always keep 3-4 provinces scouted and ready to clear for events. Likewise I also keep enough goods or troops to clear those provinces if I need to. A city building game requires planning and budgeting.

The best part about setting up your city for events is that once you do it just one time, you can start finishing events in just a couple of days, meaning you have much longer before the next event starts to re-prep your city.

There is a diamond-free path to success in all events, but you need to be prepared.

Yay!
that'll cut you down to 2 relics in 6 neighbourly helps, which (I think?) is average.

YESSSSSSS I made it, that was close

I realize these events are set up to make the game more interesting but also to generate money for InnoGames. When there’s a building that is beautifully created, I don’t mind spending diamonds to put this building in my game. But I do mind when the only way we can complete an event is to spend diamonds.

Having back-to-back quests to gain relics and solve encounters means scouting 3-4 provinces, or more. Scouting takes long unless you have Instants to speed it up, or you spend diamonds. If you only have Very Hard and Hard provinces left on the World Map, they are difficult to fight so you end up negotiating, depleting your city of goods.

Placing these quests back to back and at the end of an event can make it almost impossible for some Elvenar players to complete the event. If you run out of goods to negotiate, your fellowship and neighbors are low on goods too so you can’t trade, and you’re running out of time to complete the event, what do you do? Spend diamonds for the goods? Not me, not anymore. I stop participating in the event. If anymore future events are set up with back-to-back quests to gain relics and solve encounters, I think I’ll take my family to Disney World.

I’d like to think we players are being appreciated by InnoGames. Those of us who spend hours playing and those who spend diamonds help keep this game running. Elves and Humans who have become ArchMages to create fellowships are contributing to this game by helping players understand how to play Elvenar.

It’s a door shut in our faces when we accidentally delete a building, and find out Elvenar won’t help us get this building back. This just happened to me. To get ready for Part 2 of Redbeard's Event, I was using the Sell tool to delete 2 baby Marble Manufactories when I noticed the Grounds of the Orc Strategist was gone. There was no DELETION CONFIRMATION. If there was, I would have stopped. I asked Support for help getting this building back. They are forwarding my feed back to the development team for their review.

If you ever accidentally delete a building, be aware that because of their strict policy on replacing removed buildings, Elvenar only replaces buildings if they are purchased using premium and/or an event grand prize as a one-time credit.

If all your provinces are hard and very hard, you must have overscouted in the past. I just made it thru part 1 and with 22 encounters to solve in the 2nd part I will need 3 provinces to be scouted at 48 hours each, it is going to be close again. But until now I still manage to play without spending real money on the game. I am near the end of chapter 11 and all the provinces i scout are medium so the fights are still ok.

You're doing great dikke ikke! Keep it up. I did overscout but then Elvenar changed the battle system and added a feature where you need Orcs to trade so I have really slowed down my scouting. It seems when you're too far ahead of the storyline, you will have problems. It's getting difficult not to overscout with the quests that ask you to Gain Relics or Solve Encounters. As long as you have good neighbors and your fellowship to trade with, you always have the option to negotiate. You'll be trading a lot because negotiating takes a big chunk out of your goods supply.

well i am back again to say i made it through part 1

I managed a couple of workshop upgrades which in turn helped me upgrade a couple of residences which led to more upgrades which were part of the quest and just about fit the space i had available .

It was very tight on space and resources right down to the wire .

I am going to try and prepare a bit for part 2 if there is enough time .

by scouting a couple of provinces and leaving them ready and just going to grind out supplies like crazy this next week .

just hope we have enough time to prep and be a bit more ready this time

Am not that impressed with the building etc just glad i managed to complete the quest

Thankful for good neighbors

I hate to be the one to tell you that Part 2 should start 24hrs after part 1 ended.

I hate to be the one to tell you that Part 2 should start 24hrs after part 1 ended.

Since it's supposed to start the following Monday, I'm not sure how that is possible. it should be a week from today

 

[SoggyShorts]

I can't seem to find that information-- On beta it started 24h after part 1 ended.
Inno seems to have a very different idea of what terms like "Soon" "a short break" and "weeks" mean compared to most people, so it's hard to be sure.

 

[DeletedUser5800]

Since it's supposed to start the following Monday

Where did it say following Monday? It was a 24hr break on beta and the last 2 part event had 24hrs between parts on live. Did I miss something?

 

[SoggyShorts]

the last 2 part event had 24hrs between parts on both beta and live.

If memory serves, the last 2 part event on beta had an extra FA slipped in between for testing reasons, and PT2 was launched on live without any Beta testing.

 

[DeletedUser14960]

If its a week cool

If its 24hrs then I am screwed

I thought I read somewhere it was a week between part 1 and part 2

It just gets better and better LMFAO

 

[DeletedUser5800]

Edited... so much drama I forgot some of it. It also got postponed a day on live back then...
Even if it said following Monday somewhere, wouldn't that be today in Germany and tomorrow here... how does time work? LOL
Monday 9:33 PM there now so I guess not.
But I still never saw anything about Monday anyway.

When looking at set buildings, the set bonus should be considered.
Since you are in the last chapter, even if you want to ignore the silk,culture, and pop that the set gives you, consider the seeds.
930 seeds per day for 15 squares is actually very awesome.
To get that many seeds you would need to clear 35 more provinces, or gain at least 7 AW levels. (if you don't collect seeds 5x a day then you need even more AW levels)

From what I can see of the seed costs in chapter 12, the redbeard set might be the best prize ever for chapter 11 players.

I get seeds from the trader. I have no problem with having enough, now that everything has been built. You need those seeds for building the Halflings farms and field, and upgrading them. Beyond that, I've not seen a need for them. If it were giving mana, I might go for it.

Elementals.

Then you haven't looked at the next chapter where virtually everything costs seeds.

 

[Ashrem]

I can't seem to find that information

I can't find it either, so it could be incorrect.

I did not reach orcs yet when that feature was introduced, but i remember the forum was buzzing with unhappy players. I kept my scouting withing the GLZ until i reached Orcs, since then I scout ring by ring being at ring 14 now I have to do medium fights until i reach elementals, then my scouting should go back to easy. With 373 provinces conquered I confirm I am doing great

I was Very frustrated with this Adventure. I only completed 20 stages and ran out of time despite my best efforts. I think this adventure was almost impossible for players in the middle. Or players who don't or can't buy diamonds.I wish there was a way to look at all up coming task and pick the ones we can do. This gives us a chance to build and save for the task we can't do at that moment. I've been playing almost every day since summer. I just didn't have space to expand 4 buildings. Please Reply

Spoiler: What about right here?

For the "upgrade x buildings to level y" quests it's generally fastest and easiest to build a new level 1 marble factory.
