Buildings aren't universally useful either, many people are maxed out with loads of buildings they can't place anyway... there is no such thing as a universally useful prize... kind of the point. And there are far more buildings than buffs so where the balance comes in is you can either get lots of buildings or the best one.
I doubt anyone missed the point. It simply requires looking at the answers from a point of view that is not your own. The military buildings are only enticing to those that want them. Double crowns give other people a reason to consider them. Once they have the buildings in inventory, they have an extra reason to try combat. Therefore: most likely the double crowns are designed to tempt people to to take the least popular buildings. They are a form of "coupon," doing exactly what the developers intend. They don't need to offer double crowns for buildings that people want anyway. You are asking the equivalent of "Stop giving coupons for things hardly anybody wants," when the whole point of coupons is to get people try the things hardly anybody wants.
I think if you have a couple of MMM buildings you may find that combat when using troops that do double damage is actually quite different
As others have said, there is no building that is universally useful. If you believe that the combat buildings are the least useful, then that actually shows that inno made a good decision in making those the double crown days.

yep. any building that works like a spell needs redeveloped. inno isn't that bright.
Nope. One of the things that constantly gets me on people's hit lists on these forums is that I'm always looking for the other point of view, whether I agree with it or not. Try looking at the thread on cheaters for the most uncomfortable, recent, example. Or go back to a thread from a couple of months back when I got strips torn off me (by the people I most often agree with) for postulating that swearing at others is a form of abuse.
I do those things. Actually, 10 hours for work due to commute, and I insist on minimum 8 hours of sleep per night, plus I care for a severely disabled spouse (last night's shower and getting into bed took just over an hour). I'm finished the mainline quests. Admittedly, I'm able to play on my lunch break, which happens to coincide with the start of the tournament every week. On the second world I'm only on step 35, because it doesn't have much space to allocate for level one buildings for the event, and only has a level 2 builder, while the other has 50 workshops and 50 of my T1 boost factories and a level 5 builder. I'll still finish the second city.

I'm glad she didn't have a damage multiplier or...
...wait for it...
I would have needed double crowns!
It's possible to complete chapter 6 from start to finish in under 5 weeks, you should be fine- Just keep pluggin away at it.can't build past level 17...in dwarves...waiting for granite for the only tech I can open at the moment...2nd day waiting...have 10782 of the 75000 needed....advised to add buildings and upgrade portal...takes granite...not happy...sure I won't finish or even get the 2nd building...pretty sure I won't even get the first
The truth is there is always a group of people that hit events in the worst part of the tech. tree and have serious trouble if they also have not made room for prepping.
This point of view is common. One thinks it's the position of the player that makes a game event more difficult, when actually it's simply poor game event design.
I disagree, in a game based on space and time there will always be points where people limited in one or both have trouble, otherwise there would be no point in an event at all, they could just give you 6,000 keys and let you roll the chest.
Disagree. Some people play sub-optimally. Either they're not playing guest race buildings "efficiently," or they're not planning ahead on events. You can't play that way and expect to win these great event prizes. Otherwise, like @Lord Draconian said, why even have the event? Why not just give out prizes to everyone for logging in once during December?
Truth: But I would add for the average player that isn't psychotic like some of us there are just a couple of 'bad spots' in the tech. tree that conflict with a couple of quest... I don't think it's poor design though... just an inevitable conflict that's firmly in the realm of bad luck timing.
