FoEhints: Alcatraz, Great Building in Forge of Empires

[@mtr2562]

Finally built my traz. I’m in HMA and have been delaying to get it till I get 80 on my arc, but after GBG came out I decided it’s a good time, even though I’m at arc lvl 70. Must say, it is REALLY helpful in GE and GBG. Thank you for all your great help, wouldn’t be anywhere close to where I am now without your help.

[@aragantd5611]

hey, im wondering how can i get the requiremnet goods to make GB that need goods far above my age.

[@mtr2562]

Aragan TD you can usually get them by “paying” a certain amount of forge points to a player by putting them on one of their great buildings, then they will allow you to trade hoods of your age for the goods you want. Varies from world to world but that’s the general idea. Sometimes you’re guild can be of great help too.

[@Heioshi]

Continent Map too. I get units of a higher age and use one with multiple rogues

[@worldpro94]

How did you get all of the materials to build it?

[@PsychedCamo]

Thanks for the awesomeness

[@alphapimp]

Your radio voice is amazing and your delivery is top notch! Well done on all your videos! Diamond in the rough

[@thomasbarkoski]

Traz + Rogues = Amazing

[@Morbidejs]

I had Alcatraz, when I was in LMA. I did not use diamonds. If I remember right, I bought goods with FP`s. It`s very common to have Great Buildings above your age. For the last Great Buildings above my age I gathered goods with Dynamic tower and by trading from my current age.

[@wildphantomgaming2163]

How can you buy goods with fps?

[@oOo-dj7pt]

If your city is really young and you're dependent on trade its helpful to get Alcatraz early, you dont need to get it to a high level at first, especially if you're working on getting your arc to 80, but its very helpful to stock up on troops as your city becomes more and more independent.

[@g.dochev]

Forge points + lower age goods for the goods required for this one. That's how many people in the earlier ages get it.

[@FoEhints]

Georgi Dochev correct

[@g.dochev]

by the way, thank you for the informative videos, they are fun to watch and nicely explained.

[@opejskshwhsbjsh990]

I was able to trade totally fair 1:1 with my guild for the goods on arc, cape Canaveral, and Alcatraz in the high middle ages

[@razielnecrolektrik3588]

What do you think about getting the Aachen and Zeus to 69 cap? I find that 59 levels of FP for double the percentage you have at 10 just isn't worth it! When you can use the points for buildings like Alcatraz! I'm currently doing Traz and CF I've just about hit the sweet spot on Traz as I'm at 27 on Alcatraz but only 18 on CF! But once they get fast it's quite a nice return! But I just hit 69 on CDM! I think it's worth it as 40FP with the 60% is great the others are just too much! My attack is 500/ my defense is 296 and My CoA is 6, Zeus is 7! I'll get them up to 10 but I have found that Himeji and Space Carrier Are great to have at 60 for the futures and space ages! However on tech when you don't have enough coins or supplies you just buy them with diamonds as I got 5.6M coins for 30 diamonds

[@FoEhints]

First goal is having Zeus, AD and CdM on level 10. Later you want more bonus without using more space as space always is limited. This is why I have all 3 buildings on level 80.

[@samschaefer3395]

this a tip for any age any one get the fisrt to goods bost than find some one to trade fp for bp and goods yes this may take along time but you can do it as i have yes im high age that has doen like 3 events in witch have gave me alot of fp making some like that durn cidermill take way to space orthers take no space at all for what thay give you even some the halloween stuff is bad the dark doorway is kind of good for the 3 fp every 24 hours but things that take up 3by3 and give one ever 8 i see use less in my eyes but thay can help you pay say 225 fp for 1120 goods faster but yet i think thay need to make fp 30 min's and not a hour like it has been so long now but i wud wait till high middle age than get the good gb's seeing as you can get rid of alot of quest fast or event quest lines so i hope this helps sorry about any bad spelling

[@dummyregister]

Hello, love your videos! Have a question, what if you pair champions retreat with Alcatraz? At the first thought of having your army consist of champions sounds crazy! But is it worth it?

[@FoEhints]

In lower ages champions are not very important as they only provide a small bonus. In contemporary era and even more above that it is an important unit. I often use two champions plus 6 rogues in the fights of level 4 of the guild expedition

[@trizthe1]

You should make a whole video on how long to stay inages pros and cons and hacks and tips how to surpass the minuses best of having been advancing too fast :) Im in colonial age and I donr know how long I should stay.. Everyone tells me to stay forever.....🙄

[@sergipareracontreras5254]

is there any page that shows the % chance of getting Alcatraz blueprints by polishing each building in Progressive? or do all buildings in this age provide the same chance to get the blueprints?

[@FoEhints]

The chance to get a blueprint when polishing is 2%. If you polish a building of a certain age you have that chance to get one of the 2 possible blueprints of that age (age of the building, not town hall). So an average of 100 polishes is required to get one of the 9 blueprints. Which one is random. Players report that there is a daily limit for motivations to have the chance to get a blueprint. This is not confirmed by InnoGames, but I think that assumption is correct.

[@dohori2024]

I am in iron age and have already build cathedral of aachen and now I am aiming for alcatraz ... and I already have have of the goods I need cuz one fellow mate just happen to needed goods form Iron age .. so lucky for me... so now I am using some cleaver idea buy selling them and producing more goods out of that ,,, so I am not spending FP.... not a single one till now ..

[@dohori2024]

I build it....

[@punkrider8758]

I am in the Early Middle Ages, I never got an Alcatraz blueprint so far and I don't plan to move forward until I get it, what are the best strategies to get the blueprints for it?

[@FoEhints]

As the Alcatraz is a building of the Progressive Era, there is a change to get a blueprint when motivating or polishing another player’s building of that era. The faster possibility is to sponsor an Alcatraz if a guild mate, e g by making a swap deal: he pays some forge points in one of your great buildings and you pay the same number into his Alcatraz. It should be enough to guarantee a good rank to receive the related rewards: forge points and blueprints

[@punkrider8758]

@@FoEhints No one else has the Alcatraz besides one guy and it costs 260FPs to level it up and it only has 3 FPs in, :( Do you think I should go for it?

[@tommymichelsen4739]

@@punkrider8758 if you haven't gotten the prints yet, I would suggest leaving the guild. had to leave guilds that I was happy with when I wasn't progressing the way I wanted (getting prints for GB's needed or would need). also a guild with a 1.8-1.9 thread that allows lower age players to take 4th or 5th place on a variety of buildings.

@@tommymichelsen4739 Nah I got everything I need (even an Arc group) but thanks

[@juicehexed3498]

I am in the late middle ages and I have the catherdreal of Aachen and tower of babel I have spent no money on the game and am wondering if it even possible to continue on without spending money

[@FoEhints]

Yes, it is Two facts: 1st: You can play without diamonds. You will miss some expansions and this makes it a bit more challenging, but beside that you can do everything. 2nd: You can receive up to 400 diamonds per week (average: 200) through completing guild expedition level 4 every week. I recommend fighting instead of negotiating. You will need Zeus, Cathedral of Aachen, Castel del Monte, Alcatraz and a couple of rogue hideouts to do that. There are not many games offering everything without the requirement of spending money.

[@juicehexed3498]

FoEhints Thank you I just keep running low on supplies and coins progress is very slow

[@FoEhints]

Coins: motivate / polish your friends, neighbors and guild members every day. Build more houses. Supplies: 1. try to use the 1 hour production as often as possible - collect every hour 2. use tavern boost 3. use boosts from the inventory There are more possibilities to increase the number of supplies, but in SMA this should be sufficient.

[@juicehexed3498]

FoEhints Thank you once again I hope to finish the game someday

[@constantinmatiu5632]

In my neghborhood i have someone in the iron age with alcatraz

[@FoEhints]

On DE-Uceria I also have a city with Zeus, AD, CdM and Alcatraz. Players who want their city to remain in Iron Age forever do that. Such cities are just used to produce diamonds.

[@iff666]

HMA and i got Traz,Inno and Arc. Not a single penny spent.

[@FoEhints]

Great! I hear this from other players too. It is really free2play and even in higher ages this will not change. Good to read this comment as it is real player feedback and possibly helpful for thise who think about playing this game.

[@iff666]

I dont mind spending money to support good products like foe is but am just broke as *** :D its harder to get all the GBs when you start in young world, i whas lucky and traded some fps to SAM goods-its a bit tricky to downtrade them and you may want to skip few ages. Now i buy Himnji goods and am allmost done with GBs, in future i need AO and some more but atm i have anything i need (traz, arc, cc, zeus, coa, sbc, inno, tor etc). Good guild is allso important.

[@tangcheesum5418]

I won a rogues hideout but i sell it away. What a loss.

[@FoEhints]

Just win another one in the next event
