Hi server mates,
THE FIRST PHASE IS OVER! Good job everyone!
Phase 2 has no date yet. Lets prepare for it!
When it launches, convert stuff on Provision House and let’s get some balloons! Its on the EVENT tab.
***** THE STRATEGY *****
Switch off all production BUT:
- Water Wells (water) (cover your island with wells, turn off Stables, Bakeries, Breweries/Friary)
- Pinewood Cutters (pinewood) (turn off Pinewood Sawmills and Coking Plants)
- Fishman (fish)
- Stone Masons (stone)
(thanks to Saphorik for this info - German and Polish servers were doing it this way and produce average 15k balloons each per hour)
I would also suggest myself:
- Hardwood Cutters (Hardwood) (turn off Sawmills, they are 9 mins X Cutters 4:30 min, same Balloon value)
- Hunters (meat) (turn off Butchers, they are 12 min X Hunters 6, same Balloon value)
- Copper Mines (Copper ore) (turn off Copper Smelters)
- Recyclers and Coal Mines ONLY (Coal) (Because Coking Plants use Pinewood and you want it - Cutters are two times faster than Coking Plants)
** Rewards for the first phase of the event: (from official thread) **
- The first phase will take approx. 4 days. During this time frame, each game world can win Gems and Hired Troops. The actual amount of these rewards will depend on game world performance during the first phase of the event.
