Mostly this is a bad buy in the long run - but not catastrophic.ģ) Event currency - Some events will leave you close to getting extra prizes and spending a couple thousand diamonds might make a difference to you. While expansions are certainly the top of mind option to start (first 4 are 200, 200, 400, 400 and come at a time when you most need extra expansions (bronze/iron age) - then there's a whole wack of them at 600 - 2 per age for every age from EMA to ME if i remember right - before they go up again), there are a few other things worth considering.ġ) Expedition difficulty 4 while negotiating - you should be using the tavern boost for 4 guesses first, but sometimes it might be worthwhile to pay 10 diamonds and take a 5th guess rather than restart the encounter and spend more goods if you're tight on them as it'll let you get further and win more diamonds/prizes that help your city - the diamonds earned from expedition will outstrip the diamonds spent in the long runĢ) Final blueprint on a key great building - particularly early in your game when it can feel difficult to just find more blueprints you might consider spending 200 diamonds for the last blueprint on a building that you feel will change your game entirely (Chateau Frontenac or The Arc being key examples of this).
