FoEhints: Great Buildings of Space Age Titan in Forge of Empires
Space Age Titan offers three new Great Buildings:
These are the Saturn VI gates Centaurus, Hydra and Pegasus.
All three buildings offer combat bonuses plus additional, individual bonuses:
Centaurus, for example, produces random goods from the player's previous age every 24 hours. Hydra produces some of each current good for the guild's treasury and Pegasus produces Forge points every 24 hours.
I have listed the values for levels 10 and 80 here. Even if these are impressively high production values, hardly anyone will build these expensive great buildings for this reason. Those who build Centaurus, Hydra or Pegasus do so for the combat bonuses. And most players in the Titan Age build all three! Many people wonder whether these buildings are really that good. And what about players from lower ages? Should they also think about one of these buildings?
To be able to classify the combat values of the three new buildings, it is worth comparing them with the existing Great Buildings with combat bonuses. Statue of Zeus, Cathedral of Aachen and Castel del Monte provide the same combat bonuses. That's why I'm only showing the Statue of Zeus here as a representative example.
At level 10 the Statue of Zeus offers a 30% bonus to the attack and defense of the attacking army.
There is also the terracotta army. At level 10, this grants a 20% bonus to attack and defense for both the attacking and the defending army. However, the building takes up much more space and costs considerably more.
At level 10, Centaurus offers a full 40% bonus to the attack and defense of the attacking army.
At level 10, Hydra provides a 30% bonus to attack and defense for both the attacking and the defending army.
Finally, Pegasus offers a 50% bonus to the attack and defense of the defending army.
These are not bad figures, but in view of the fact that these three new buildings are significantly more expensive, this is not really impressive.
When comparing the bonuses of higher upgrade levels, it almost takes your breath away. Bonuses of 320%, 240% and 400% respectively at level 80 are absolutely impressive. This is the motivation why everyone really wants to have these three buildings.
But does this also apply to players of lower ages? Many players build an Arc very early on with the help of their guild. Can you do the same with these new Great Buildings?
Upgrading to level 10 is already more difficult in the lower ages than with the Arc, for example, because the amount of goods required is far greater and, at least at present, only a few players can spare such quantities to give to smaller players.
While this alone is already difficult, it becomes extreme after that. Above level 10, further upgrading requires a set of blueprints as well as Titan Age goods plus coins. For example, upgrading Hydra to level 80 requires another 1.24 million Titan goods. It is inconceivable that these could be passed down to a lower age. These new buildings are therefore only realistic for players currently in the highest age.
