Guess this is just latency (FOE servers are somewhere in EU/NA so I get 350ms+ ping to them) but playing similar games where moves can be placed much faster and more responsive, it becomes painful. Piece movement (matching, making a chest, bottom collection) was very slow. For reference, I enjoyed the St Pat's event. Most of my gripes with it were mainly QOL things that made it feel as drawn out as possible. The new style of minigame was a nice change compared to 'click one of the 3 guys and get a prize' type event. If you have Tribal Squares, Sunken Treasures, as someone mentioned, get rid of them.they don't provide enough for the space that something else can provide.same with Lord's Manor, if you have them in your city, get rid of them as their space for 2 fps isn't worth it.I'm sure they'll be able to make improvements for next year if it comes back.

Do the cultural settlements, and work on leveling up your goods providing GB's. As long as you have event buildings at your current age, or FE since you're in AF, then I would check the antique dealer for sleigh builders on the buy it now side and get some. I keep sleigh builders in my city(10), since I do use goods for neg in gbg when attrition gets high, and it allows me to do a lot of trades within my guild for those that need FE goods. You can fit 4 sleigh builders in the same space as a TF, which will give you 60 goods/day. Altho you can have terrace farms for the same reason, and they give goods if you run them on 8hr timers, they're mostly used for fps on a 24hr, but they're huge, and event buildings easily replace them now, since they give both fps and goods on a collection every 24hrs. If you're able to have sleigh builders, then place them in your city for not only 15 goods/day, but they also take care of the need to do event production quests too. Completing the Japanese settlement will also give fps + 55 goods/day, and Aztec gives fps + 30 goods at max. One thing no one's asked.what level are your GB's at? At higher level, the CF provides a lot of goods from RQ quests, and if you're placing maxed event buildings in your city, then you're also getting a decent supply of goods.
