Forge of Empires: iPad Player Guide ( Neighbourhood, Friends and Guilds)
3 - Neighbourhood, Friends and Guilds.
When you play Forge of Empires you have three lists as above. You can motivate and polish others players buildings to help them, and they can also visit your city to return the favour. You can't help players if they are not on one of your lists.
Neighbourhoods
As you sign in for the very first time, you will be placed into a neighbourhood, of around 80 players. To see them, tap the icon bottom right of your screen, that looks like three houses.
Once you press the icon, you will see a new row across the bottom of the screen showing all the other players in your neighbourhood, friends and guild as below. Please note however that the current version of the iPad app does not include the ability to join or create guilds, or to send or accept friend invites; to do this at present you must log on via the browser version. Scroll along to see them all.
With your neighbours, tap on them and you will see the option to either enter their city, message them (when available) or attack them. The screen shot below shows you this.
Attacks, PvP tournaments, and plunder will be covered in more detail later in the guide.
As you and your neighbours will likely progress through the game at different speeds, there is a neighbourhood merge every two weeks. This means that at midnight server time (CET/CEST), after the PvP tournaments have ended there will a merge. Some times you will not move and will stay with the same players. Some times you will notice some players leave and you gain a few new ones. Other weeks you will be moved into a new neighbourhood.
Friends
If you have played the web version, your friends will also be visible, under the friends tab. To visit you tap on them and again you will see the option to enter their city, here you can motivate or polish your friend. You can send up to 80 friend requests, and then you can accept requests until you reach the maximum 140 limit.
Sadly friend inviting and accepting is not yet available on the iPad app - but I will enter more detail here as this feature is released.
Guilds
As with friends, guilds are not yet released on the app. However, if you have played the web version and are a member of a guild, they will also be visible to you under your guild tab.
Guilds are groups of up to 80 players. Being in a guild holds many benefits - you have an additional 79 players who can motivate and polish your buildings. Also, trading is free in guild so you don't have to use your precious forge points to trade with guild members. You will also be able to participate in Guild vs Guild and reap the additional benefits your guild wins such as daily forge points from your town hall, or reduced building costs as a couple of examples. This will be covered in more detail later in the guide as this feature is released.
Whether players are in your hood, guild or friends list, you will be able to motivate and polish them, trade with them, and also donate forge points to their Great Buildings and vice versa. If a player is not on one of these lists, you will not be able to interact with them in this way.
