When players had fields of SoKs and the priority list for aiding was not what it is now.

I do remember when it was a consideration. So the fact that someone may be in your guild and also on your friends list is really just a matter of player preference, and not really a game consideration anymore. Build menu buildings that are used, are usually just production buildings there for fulfilling production quests in events or the DC, which doesn't require them to be motivated. Event/special buildings are higher on the aid priority list than build menu buildings and so get the necessary motivating close to, if not at, 100% of the time. None of them have as much as 100 in the friends list, and only one of them is in a guild with other players.who are apparently not that active. As well as in my lower era cities as well. I manage to do it in a fully developed FE city with a friends list well under 100, in a solo guild, without aiding neighbors. With the vastly superior production from event/special buildings over standard build menu buildings, the issue of getting everything important motivated isn't (or shouldn't be) an issue in a well managed city.

The game has moved on from the need for this. You can also buy three kinds of boosters as Resource Boosts, Military Boosts, and Time Boosts.Click to expand.This should not be standard practice anymore. There are Decorative Upgrades that allow your visitors to earn rewards (even Forge Points) when they visit the tavern. Tavern Silver is the currency you use to purchase items from the Tavern Shop. This special building allows you to invite friends to come over and earn Tavern Silver in return. Located beside your empire is the so-called Friends Tavern.

TIPS: It is very interesting to note that Boosters are only made available through Tavern Shop.

To speed up the production, you could either pay Diamonds or better yet use a Booster that will last a certain amount of time. Some buildings will even ask you to wait for more than an hour. At first, production and construction will only take a minute or two but as soon as you progress and the community evolves, the waiting time will increase exponentially. If you have played games like SimCity or other city-building RTS, time is really a challenge and most of the construction will require you to patiently wait.
