I can't even log into the hosting provider's portal to log a ticket ... guess they're having a bad day. Will keep trying.

The Seeker of Knowledge is not showing up. I think that was what they gave us for Christmas. I get a blank spot from elvenstats for my city layout.

I haven't placed it, but a teammate says the Goddess of Wishes is also not showing up.

I checked the index and Goddess of wishes isn't there, nor is the Seeker of Knowledge.

We got one of them on Christmas day as a gift and the other is the last prize in the winter magic event.

one thing I don't quite get is: why don't they show up as ??? instead of a blank.

After all, from the way elvenarchitect is working, you see there is a building there, you just don't know what it is, so it could just as well appear as some unknown object instead of some blank space ?

of course this would require a bit of new code instead of just adding objects to the db.

So how EA would know what even dimensions of this building are, it's pop/culture impact etc?

You use elvenstats, get a copy of your city to open on EA and you see 4 empty tiles where these pieces belong.
The copy of your city only has id of buildings, corner coordinates and evolution levels. Everything else, including dimensions, have to be in a database.

Apologies, I've been away up til now. The files have been refreshed.

There are two types of data EA needs in order to show your city:
* Game data - Contains building stats. Has to be periodically refreshed and pruned in order to remove spoilers. Changes rarely and is very heavy.
* City data - Contains building location in player city. This comes from Elven stats, which in turn comes from the game. Changes often and very light.

Happy new year, all!

No problem :) Elven Stats is developed and maintained by a different team of players. You can donate to them through the 'Donate' link at the top of their site.

no, I was wrong. I know (and used) the donate button on elvenstats, but I wanted to know if there is possibilty to donat elvenarchtect too. I guess, you are also infected by the costs of servers etc.

so it wouldn't, but you would get a nice ? at the square with the starting coordinates, and you would know instantly something is missing which would be a MUCH bigger clue than just the whole building entirely missing.

Nothing to apologize for, you give us such a great product. I just report when I see something missing so you know you check message.
