Neighborly Help

Visiting Others

As it has been noted, you can always pay a visit to every player to get inspiration for your city.

However, not all cities will be available for you to trade with or give help to.

By scouting Provinces, neighbors within a certain range will become your natural trading partners. This means that you can exchange Goods with them using your Trader, but he will put a fee of 50% on top of the offering for the ones you haven't discover yet. As a result, trading with your undiscovered neighbors can be a bit expensive at first.

Once you have scouted a bordering Province of a neighbor's city, things become more interesting. Your relationship state with that neighbor will turn to "Discovered", meaning you will be able to trade with him more effectively. Or in other words: the trader will not ask you for a fee when you take an offer from a discovered neighbor.

So, keep on scouting and discovering others!

The second benefit of discovering a neigbor is the ability to give him Neighborly Help once a day. The Neighborly Help allows you to interact with other players and to be rewarded for it.

To do so, visit his city, select the the Neighborly Help icon on his profile and choose the building you want to help.

You will receive some Coins for your work, and, in case your neighbor also helped you within the last 23 hours, you will also receive supplies. In fact, if both of you do this regularly, you will both receive additional Supplies all the time.

  • If you help someone who has already helped you within the last 23 hours, you will also receive Supplies.

After helping a player, a countdown timer will start. Once the time is over, you can help him again.
