Using FB with Age 2

There are many benefits to using Facebook with Age 2. There are in-game buffs, items, and units you can get from them. While there are many possible buffs, I am only going to list the ones I consider useful (and no, I don't consider PRESTIGE as useful).

Hunger No More: 5% reduction in troop upkeep (stacks 10 times). This is my favorite post on Facebook. When you post it, and someone click, or when you click on someone else's, it counts towards 1 of the 10 stacks. If you have lots of Facebook friends that will click it, there is no need to click on others to obtain this buff

Wild Horse: 100 cavalry for clicking on another's, or 200 cavalry for someone else clicking on yours. You should at least post this, if not click on other people's as well to collect these freebies, especially when new to a server.

Legendary Bard: Clicking on this will get you a War Horn. This is a 20% attack bonus for your troops that lasts 24 hours. This is an item in your inventory that you must apply, but you can save it if you want. I make sure to have this active at all times

Discovered an Artifact: Clicking this will get you a holy water. Holy water allows you to redistribute a heroes attributes. Any time you recruit a new hero, you should redistribute, so you will need many of these (requires 1 for every 10 levels the hero is)

Caught a Wanted Criminal: Clicking on this will give you a speech text. Speech texts automatically clear any public grievance as well as increasing loyalty to 100. These aren't great early in the game, but later, when you are in a strong alliance and someone is trying to capture your city, one click of this can really help. I try to keep 100 on hand at all times (also another inventory item)

Pestilence: When you post this and someone else clicks it, you get a penicillin. This is a great item to have because it will increase your wounded by 30%, meaning you can heal that many more after a battle. This lasts a week, but someone has to like you to waste one of their 20 clicks on it.

Uprising: When someone clicks this, you gain 3% attack, 5% defense, and 3 leadership to all of our heroes for 8 hours. This stacks 10 times. It only counts when other people click YOUR post, so once again, people better like you because they get nothing in return. This is an amazing buff to have


As for gifting from Facebook, I like to receive the following, based upon how built up and my current needs in the server I am playing.

Minor Speedup Pack: this is a Beginner Guidelines that speeds up building by 15 minutes. It is good in the first few days of the game, as well as right after you conqueror an NPC Historic City and need to build it up before the 24 hour truce is over.

Minor Fortune Pack: This is an Aries Amulet and allows you one free spin of the wheel. This is the gift I use by default when I have no other needs at the time. Most wheel spins are awful, but hey, I can keep hoping right?

Any Reinforcement Packs: These should only be sent by people playing the same server as you, because they can get downgraded otherwise. Also, if you can't send the type of pack you receive, it will be downgraded as well.

All of your Facebook friends on your server should be added as allies as well. This allows them to visit your kingdom and give you free resource packs in the process. You receive free resource packs for visiting them as well.
