Dominate Forge of Empires with this Friends List Strategy! (2024) FoE

[@johnsimpson8424]

I am in titan. I would never get rid of my traz. I focus on only one type of troop and make as many as possible. In titan as others have said is hard on troops. Think of all the fp's that you have invested to create your traz. Yes you get some more space, but you lose a year's worth of fp's........

[@BardoFarkins]

Yeah, I get it. Long term I think it would be a mistake that I would regret. Short term it's tough, because it is so massive and providing basically no value to my city. Thanks for watching and weighing in. I appreciate your thoughts and advice.

Thanks for a new video🤩 Saint Patrick - I love it🤩 I am aiming at two Celtic Taverns (with the golden pass, of course😇) I can also hear a much nicer music theme on the US server, cool Traz - it depends on what your long-term goal is. If you are happy camping in FE for ages - indeed you can consider getting rid of the big guy. It will, however make advancing much more challenging, in particular if you are a GB fighter. The Titan era introduces a new step of challenge also in fighting: with the lack of universal unit, fast units being very vulnerable and forcing you to replace your injured units in almost every attempts, even in lower attrition values. My stats are 2800/3200 attack/def, my Traz is 82 and I am running out of units rapidly, if not cautious. My guild mates all pretty the same: levelling their Traz up to 120 and more. Oceanic Future fights, so notorious, are a piece of cakes, compared to the Titan fights. Another point: in the more advanced eras artillery and heavy units are loosing their ground, giving a way to the fast ones. In some other eras you need a precise combinations of unit (Oceanic F for instance). Keep in mind that the event buildings most often give you random units, whilst with Traz you have 100% control on your production. For your consideration;) On the friends list: good tips indeed, but in my case, just sniping my neighbours is so tedious to me, that I cannot imagine on top taking care of my friends list and regular visits in their great buildings;) I accept this lost opportunities as a comprise between time/energy investments and relax. Thank you and waiting for more videos❤

[@ywills7890]

Thanks for the advice re the Traz in higher ages, I've just hit Arctic Future and looking to keep moving as quick as I can, so will factor this in.

[@BardoFarkins]

Good luck getting the two Celtic Taverns! You can do it and that will be a HUGE boost to your military defense. That is interesting that you have alot of guildies taking Traz to 120. Funny how some are burning it down now, while others are building it up....very interesting. I think I need to find a way to keep it for later, delete some other less efficient buildings to to make room for the Celtic Tavern coming soon! Thanks so much for supporting the channel and engaging with your thoughtful comments.

In my main world, I'm in the gold league (spent diamonds for that). I don't love the St. Patrick's Day event because of the lack of daily specials, but it has kind of grown on me... Well, I don't plan on deleting Traz. Although we can get a lot of units from event buildings, with Traz, you can choose which units you get (and right now I really need steel guardians lol). But I was pondering, and I think I will delete my Inno Tower since I don't need the population or the FPs that it offers me. About my friends list... I try to have only active players; if I see a yellow or red dot on the profile, I exclude them. But my goal with this is that, as a Seed Vault enthusiast, the more people to aid, the better. But your model is really cool, too bad i'm lazy to organize my FL like this LOL

[@BardoFarkins]

Haha - made me laugh at the end! I really appreciate you watching the video and the positive comment feels good! Yes, the Seed Vault is all the more reason to have a strong FL. It's becoming very popular and I don't have one! Great comments - Good luck.

#187! Best of luck to you brother!🎉

Thanks for checking out the videos!

When I think about it, a lot of my choices in the game come down to saving time. I've looked through friends lists a few times for profit spots on GBs, but don't commit time to it regularly, so don't put that level of effort in to maintaining the list - but found it interesting to hear your thoughts. I still aim to have a full list to maximize the rewards from Seed Vault though. As for the Traz, I want to burn through GBG and GE with as little time as possible spent replacing injured units, so I often auto battle until all 8 units are dead (or close to it), then replace them and go again. Using Traz helps here for two reasons: 1) In my experience (just moved to Arctic Future) I can last longer with the same 8 units when 5 or 6 are rogues, and 2) I don't find event buildings generating that many troops just yet for me, so rely on my Level 48 Traz to boost the stock of units so I can burn through them without worrying too much about saving units. But, my approach also means I need space for the large military building from each age, so the total space is quite large - I'll definitely reconsider my approach after your comments here. Curious, how many troops are you generating from event buildings and what attrition are you maxing out at each day? The other part, along with time, that dictates my play style is how quick I want to age up. In my main city I'm not looking to camp, so the Traz also helps to quickly get units in the new age as I'm sometime a bit behind on getting sufficient One up kits or Reno kits to be able to level up all those event buildings giving troops.

[@BardoFarkins]

Thanks for watching and weighing in! To answer your questions...I think I am generating 35-40 troops from event buildings every day (my FoE Helper is not giving accurate readings on this for some reason - like it's not including Majestic Winter for some reason). My attrition max is right around 105-110 ATM. Great observations - thank you for sharing!

[@ashleybarnett3390]

i also "snipe" a lot...i consider im doing people a favour..if they moan i desist.of course. and yeah, i love it when anyone invests in my GBs.....i just didnt know i am what is called a "self-leveller".))

[@BardoFarkins]

Being a sniper does not make you a self-leveler. But as a sniper, you are looking for people who tend to level their own buildings - those players are self levelers. I look for friends who are self-levelers and who do not use 1.9X threads to fill slots 1-5. Thanks for the comment!

[@ashleybarnett3390]

@@BardoFarkins well, i do level my own buildings..i dont ask for help from my guild and i cannot figure out this 1.9 thread.....durr...makes me feel stupid).no one has ever satisfactorally explained it to me in a simple way!.

[@cameronthompson4196]

I have a couple video ideas that you could potentially use (I like to send ideas to creators that I like) #1 You could do something going over the entirety of FoE Helper (mainly cuz I’m a noob at it since I’ve always played on my phone) #2 You could do a little starting from the Stone Age series and have fun with that and maybe fan interaction on one of the youngest servers (us a2, b2, etc.) #3 You could show how and why to optimize your base (I personally reorganize my base a lot but an extra take on it would be cool) P.S. You’ve gained 4 subscribers since I started watching your stuff an hour ago.

[@BardoFarkins]

I love getting video ideas! Thank you for suggesting these. All three are really good ones that I could see myself doing....Maybe not as much #2 since I would need to start a new city from scratch! That one might be the most interesting but also would require the most in terms of a time commitment. I already feel a bit stretched between keeping up with my one city and creating the videos! LOL. Great suggestions though....I really appreciate your support!

[@cameronthompson4196]

@@BardoFarkins#2 is coming from someone who has time to burn, but definitely don’t overload yourself. If you decide to start it, you definitely just take it slow, even just doing like one episode on it a month (or something like that). It’s definitely not a thing to worry about, and if it gets overwhelming, then you can just tell your community and we will understand. That’s not necessarily pushing for that individually, more of just advice for content creation in general.

[@BardoFarkins]

@@cameronthompson4196 It really is a great idea and I have thought about it. It has been so long since I started , I'm sure I forget what it was like just starting out....so it would be interesting to start over again and document my way through it...Just need more time! lol - thanks for the great suggestions!

[@celebthoron]

If you reach Titam Age, you need that Traz - I would delete the Abandoned Asylum, the Cape or the CdA

[@BardoFarkins]

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, that's what I am afraid of in later ages...I could always rebuild it of course, but making room to add it later would be a chore, I'm sure. You are probably right about the Asylums.....they might be on the chopping block in order to get the new building planted. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@DavidL.Harris-di3vy]

Keep Traz. The higher Ages requires a lot more units than your current age .

[@BardoFarkins]

Ya, I just cannot bring myself to drop it. I know I will need it whenever I do choose to age up! Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidL.Harris-di3vy]

Unfortunately , many people are just taking up space. I prefer to have highest age players in my friend list. For transactions . But , 10 lower age people who I am able to help. No! I don't not need guild members just for the sake of having numbers.

[@jaredsparr7380]

Yea, i had thousands of units when i aged up to AF. The AF troops suck, you’ll want your traz so you can keep producing Hover Tanks in AF.

[@BardoFarkins]

Yeah, I think your advice is good! I plan to keep using Hovers once I finally do age up....but what will suck is losing the benefits of the AO....mine is L140, so I just cannot imagine not benefitting from it. Thanks for sharing.

[@JessicaHarrys]

The title says Optimize & Organize your FoE friends list lol whats this other talk nothing to do about the big problem we Diamond farmers have with removing & putting new friends in are friends lists with are 9+ worlds to manage I Wish there was a Extension that can help with that !!

[@BardoFarkins]

Oh my! I have a hard enough time trying to manage one friends list - I cannot imagine working with 9 friends lists! Thanks for checking out the video and good luck with the game!
