Forge of Empires: Build a City
How does the tech tree work in Forge of Empires, and can I queue research before class?
The tech tree lets you research upgrades like better roads or military units, with each research taking a few hours. You can start a research before class and check it later, but you can only queue one at a time unless you use in-game currency to speed it up.
Can I trade goods with other players, and how do I start?
Yes, you can trade goods with other players through the trading post once you unlock it in the tech tree. To start, you'll need to produce surplus supplies or goods and then offer them in the trade menu, but the economy can be tricky to figure out early on.
Why does Forge of Empires keep crashing on my iPhone 14, and will I lose progress?
The game crashes about once every two days on iPhone 14, often during resource collection, but it autosaves so you won't lose progress. To reduce crashes, try closing background apps and keeping the game updated to the latest version.
I'm stuck in the Early Middle Ages because I keep running out of supplies. How can I get more?
Focus on upgrading your supply buildings like farms and workshops, and collect from them regularly. You can also clear forests and rocks to expand your city, which sometimes yields extra supplies, and consider trading with other players for what you need.
How does Forge of Empires compare to other city-building games like Clash of Clans?
Unlike Clash of Clans, Forge of Empires focuses on progressing through historical ages via a tech tree rather than just building and raiding. It has turn-based battles on a separate map and less pay-to-win pressure early on, but it forces longer wait times for upgrades and research.
