    Provision house conversion is not very favorable, but I did not find cakes were hard to come by. I could see why people would have trouble if they were trying to trade for the resources, but it did not seem necessary to me. If the goal is to encourage trading, this is not going to do it, though.

    I think it might be interesting, in some aspects, to play from the beginning again. I think the biggest problem would be having missed all those previous events and thus no way of getting a lot of specialists other than gems.

    General with +200% XP and natural bounty hunter sounds useful.

    One thing I do like about this event is that since explorers only bring back candles/dough, they are not nearly as important as with other events. Thus making the burden on sending them out as often as possible much less, and much less clicking is much more enjoyable.

    Went on test server last night to check things out. The new buildings are great and am looking forward to getting them.

    Being able to convert candles to dough in the PH works for me. If I stay on top of my explorers, send them out regularly and do the conversion to dough, I can make one large birthday cake a day. Which is all I need for a daily swap with a buff partner. Adventures should be optional for me this event, which is a nice change.

    On the calendar, BB switched the large birthday cake to the first day instead of being dropped on day 2, which is a great change. This should be fun!

This is the one chance in the year that low level players can deal out the terms that benefit them. And it's not like there isn't an out for high level players. You can still convert candles to dough. And at the end of the day the whole candle/dough question isn't even the main obective of the event—it's just for a buff to speed things along.

    And the rewards are fantastic: 2 generals, 3 explorers, 2 geologists, population buildings, special buildings, and a nice bunch of nukes. It's the perfect package for getting new players off to a good start.
    There are community goals - price gouging doesn't help with meeting community goals. I guess you didn't see the part where you have players purposely staying under 50 because this one event gives them everything. It isn't like new players aren't typically helped a lot. Remove that ability to pass millions of resources to new players and you would have a point.

    Course you are on a different server - you probably don't have the same under 50s we have that like to try and rip off everyone, year after year after year.

    That same unofficial wiki is saying the level for dough is increased to 57 and below. If true, that's really good news.

    I like the event mechanics in general. The idea of converting resources for balloons is great, but the reward system is not so great. It's good to try something different, but those 'community goals' are ridiculous. What are the odds that we miss the target? What company in the world would let its own game fail?

    "Oh sorry, not enough players are playing our game, so nobody is allowed to have fun. That's the rule."

    It would just make more sense to offer the event rewards for balloons directly from the shop.
