11/6 FoE journal post

Every time I play Forge of Empires I discover new features. For example, I did not know that a storyline exists. I learned that players advance their storyline by completing quests. The more players advance their storyline, the more prizes they receive. Due to the fact that Halloween just past, Forge of Empires provided users with a “special event.” This special event is a limited time offer and allows players to complete quests in order to receive prizes (such as coins, metals, and other random rewards) as well as limited time buildings (such as a “haunted tower”). Moreover, I believe that there are a variety of “daily tasks” that players can conduct and engage in. Some of these tasks include collecting the coins that appear on top of buildings on your land, advancing your research by using your forge points, keeping your towns people satisfied and happy by giving them work to do as well as building monuments/plants. Another new feature I learned today is about the gold stars that appear on my established buildings. To my understanding, I receive these stars when other players of the game “aid”(i.e. polish) my buildings. Additionally, this gives my townspeople temporary happiness, which is an important aspect of this game. Thus, I have begun to aid other players as well.
