- The Harbor of the Arctic Future in Forge of Empires
Many players asked me to explain the details of the harbor in the Arctic Future which has been added to the game end of August 2016.
Until the future era we just have a nice bay in the West. With completion of the first technology of the Arctic Future this bay suddenly contains a building site. But nothing else. You cannot use it, it is just there.
When you develop Promethium Extraction in the technology tree the building site turns into a fully function harbor for a single ship, that you can send to the Arctic again and again to fetch promethium, a sort of very efficient fuel. You will need Promethium for many of the new technologies of the Arctic Future.
For each expedition to the Arctic the ship needs a crew. The crew will be paid with goods of the Arctic Future. You must have three crew members. Without them the ship cannot start. This results in costs of 75 goods for each start.
The crew members have different skills. Some make the trip last longer, others increase the amount of promethium etc.
As I always was short on goods at the very beginning of the Arctic Future, I did not care if a journey of 24 hours might last a bit longer. For me it was more interesting that the ship returns with as much promethium as possible. I picked the crew members accordingly. With a complete crew the ship can start.
A bit more than 24 hours later the ship returns. The amount of my promethium I can see in my inventory, but not in the market. The market only shows goods that you can trade and promethium cannot be traded. The effect is that each player has to fetch his or her own promethium and cannot receive it by trades from other players.
Once the ship is returned it got a bit damaged during the expedition. I immediately repair this which, you already suspected this, costs goods. This time I have to pay 10 of each good of the Arctic Future, a total of 50 goods. It is highly recommended to repair a ship after each return as sending out a damaged ship will be even more expensive in the end.
After repair the ship needs another crew. To hire them I pay another 75 goods. If I am unhappy with the presented candidates, I can shuffle those positions who are not already hired. As soon I again have a complete crew, I can send out the ship again. The ship should always be on an expedition as it has absolutely no effect if it is inactive in the harbor.
After three expeditions I have enough promethium to complete the technology 'Combined Weapon Systems'. This technology allows me to produce one of the heavy units of the Arctic Future.
With each expedition the crew members get more experienced. After 5 times a crew member reaches the next level of experience by enabling this. This step requires 5 of each good of the Arctic Future. From now on the positive effect is even better.
The consumption of Arctic Future goods by the harbor is significantly. 75 goods every day for the crew. 50 goods every day for repairs. More goods for enhancing skills of the crew. Players should expect that the Arctic Future needs many more goods than all previous ages. Once you developed the harbor, most of the subsequent technologies require promethium. Different to previous ages most of the technologies require mainly goods from the Arctic Future.
The production of goods of the Arctic Future requires goods from the contemporary era. I recommended in various of my clips to stay longer in contemporary than in other ages. Those who used that enhanced time span to produce a huge stock of goods of the contemporary era will have less challenge in the Arctic Future. Beside that I want to emphasize that you also can receive goods from event buildings, terrace farms and tribal squares. This can help a lot, especially for covering peaks.
Please reduce music level and increase your voice volume. I have a hearing loss and find it difficult to hear you over the music in parts of your video. GREAT video with an excellent explanation.
Great advice, and very timely as I am one tech away from that age.
Edit: Finally arrived. Now I can use this advice!
I'm 2 researches away. Thank you.
It's interesting how the game has changed. As of 2022/2023, I get all my Goods from event buildings, and do not need any Goods buildings. So, Contemporary Era goods are not needed to proceed through the Arctic Future (if you have done enough in-game events). Also, Inno later introduced the Space Carrier Great Building, which provides special goods in the AF or later eras. You will need later era goods to build this GB, but it is strongly recommended to level up a Space Carrier before going into the AF era. The Arctic Future prometheum bottleneck on research is HARSH, and every extra source of special goods is beneficial. (You also need a good stockpile of Prometheum before going into the Oceanic Future era after that; camp out a bit in the AF to build up resources if necessary.) The A.I. Core GB helps a bit too, but is much less useful overall (and also more expensive) than the Space Carrier.
No. It is recommended that you do NOT build your SC until you get to AF. Save maybe 30K FP in your stash. Then the minute you hit AF. Built the SC & have a level-up party. This gives you ~2,300 promethium instantly. So you can rip thru the tech tree, almost to the end.
I’ve always just camped in IA to HMA. Very informative. Thanks 👍
I didn't worry about accumulating CE goods. Between my Lighthouse, Babel, Frauenkirche, and WWs I get enough unrefined goods to support 1 of each type of goods building no matter the era.
I didn't know which to put it on but I've searched and today is the total off day and I was curious as to do you know how one who is the captain of a SS Space Carrier would find negotiations for the Diplomatic Gifts? I put here as SC takes so much stress off as it gives promethium daily in AF!
Really helpful advises, even if I'm in industrial age.
Can we appreciate for a second the songs you've chosen? They're wonderful!
What are their names?? Especially the last one you used
I used 2 songs in this video:
in the beginning and at the end:
Bright Future, author: Silent Partner (pop music)
In the middle:
Drunken Sailor performed by The Midshipmen Glee Club (shanty)
The songs are part of the TH-cam music library, that creators can use for free.
Whats the song in the background?
Is that the Coast Guard Academy Midshipman’s Glee Club Singing Drunken Sailor?
Yes, it's the The Midshipmen Glee Club singing Drunken Sailor.
It's in the TH-cam audio library to be used for free. I thought it's a good match
My hub is dropping my goods when I don't collect on time
Eventually it will cost diamonds to send out the ship. The alternative is to wait it out which may take five or more days without being able to send out the ship.
It only costs diamonds if something (especially goods) is missing
I have goods. What could be missing?@@FoEhints
Sorry. You are correct. I never noticed that. I am missing two of something.Thanks.@@FoEhints
Weiter so
can i ask what music is in backround in 1:40
in the beginning and the end it is
Bright Future by Silent Partner
from 1:10 to 3:48 it is
Drunken Sailor from The Midshipmen Glee Club
Both songs are taken from TH-cams audio library
thaks
Are there any videos that explain these points in ENGLISH?
what language do you believe this is?
some crew members have the ability twin, triplet and akademics. do you know what they do?
twins: if you hire both in the same crew, they boost each other's time skill
triplet: hire all three if them and tghey boost their second ability
academic: increases all crew members' experience gain by the given percentage
thanks!
Is the contemporary era the equivalent of the present day?
yes
My city actually looks like a city.
Sounds like they are forcing people to slow down.
Yes, I agree that Promethium was added to avoid people from speeding through this age.
Where do you get all these goods? The game is getting to be too much
The Arctic Harbour was introduced to slow down the development of players. You can neither buy nor trade Aurichalcum, so you have to produce it. That takes long. This is wanted by InnoGames after they saw players speeding through the ages.
@@FoEhints figured. Thanks
I have zero AF goods building (No TF or event building, ie. nothing). Arc and Chat is enough for the goods
Well, this really does not explain about the crew is what I am wanting to know.
I always picked the crew members providing most goods, neglecting the other skills (less repair, faster).
Anyone know how I level an arc fast?
Be in a Guild that has high level arcs and contribute forge points for the blue prints.
2 years late but do a 1:9 forge thread
