FoEhints: Space Age Mars #01 in Forge of Empires

Space Age Mars Episode 1 in Forge of Empires

I rose up to Space Age Mars on early Tuesday morning, after the guild expedition started. A few words about my city. My main collection every day provides some 270 forge points. That is OK for a city in that age, but not exceptional. Some players have many more forge points every day. Some more forge points I get in the evening from 8 hour productions. With that number of forge points the research can make good progress, even if a single technology, e g Entangled Nuclear Fusion requires 305 forge points. Independent of the type of resource deposits that I might find, I will need this technology to make progress in the technology tree. Therefore the decision was simple. Some technologies have a special mars background. These release buildings that can only be build on mars.

The daily polishing and motivating in space age mars is still the same as for a new player. While other games allow advanced players to complete such recurring tasks with a single click, Forge of empires asks to visit 140 friend and 80 guild mates every day. I accelerated and shortened this in the video. In this aspect Space Age Mars still feels the same as all other ages before.

As we are in Space Age Mars now, we want to get on that planet. The shuttle is located next to our city and with a single click we are there. An introduction windows provides some first information about Space Age Mars. The astonishing note is: This colony will only be available as long as we are in Space Age Mars. Future ages, next will be space age Ceres, will have their own colonies and this will then vanish. Greetings from the Vikings.

All the mars buildings still have to be released in the technology tree. Therefore I cannot do much here. I build 2 drop pods and connect these with a street to the space port. These drop pods can now produce credits every 4 hours. We will need these credits later to explore the mars. Whether is makes sense to do that already or if we better would have built many more is difficult to estimate at the moment.

If you want to read the introduction again, simply click on the space port.

For the next technology in Space Age Mars I need Mars Ore. This can only be found on the province map if the Mars. Now I have the huge problem that I am still at the beginning of the Virtual Future province map. I have to make progress there first. To accelerate this, I will pay 50 diamonds to eliminate the scouting time. The next episode will then continue with the Space Age Mars. The remaining part of this video will only provide a quick look into the fights of the province map if the Virtual Future, for those who are interested to get an idea about that. This has nothing to do with the Space Age Mars!

The province map of the Virtual Future is extremely varied. Sometimes only 1 wave, then 2 waves. Sometimes opponents of the Virtual Future, then those from the Contemporary Era, but with a bonus of 500% on attack and defense. You see how much I use the automatic fighting feature. Therefore you cannot say that these battles are really difficult for my bonus level. But it is necessary to change the team every time based on the opponents. It is no longer possible to just use a standard team for all battles. Deciding for the right team in each case, it is possible to walk through pretty fast. From most units I have more than enough, except Turturrets as I simply used these too often. And of course I don't have many units of the Virtual Future as I haven't spent much rime in that era.

I am showing the teams I decided for and the battles without claiming that these are the best teams in every case. I simply accept some lost units. Important for me is to make good progress here. I only want to complete this map to reach the Space Age Mars map as soon as possible. These first impressions just give you an idea what you have to expect on the province map of the Virtual Future and how to face them. The battles are very different and not as boring as in other ages. This is completely new and really good. I have fun!
