Improve your exhibits with 20% lower level up costs for your Museum Artifacts during this limited time event!

In 1921, Bessie Coleman became the first African-American woman to earn a pilot’s license and the first African-American to earn an international pilot permit. Since America was segregated, as an African-American woman, Bessie could not find anyone to teach her to fly. So, she taught herself French, moved to France, and enrolled at Ecole d’Aviation des Frères Caudron, where she received her pilot’s license while specializing in stunt flying and parachuting. Due to discrimination, Bessie could not become a commercial pilot, so she became the main attraction for many air stunt shows and exhibitions. She would only perform for desegregated audiences that entered through the same gates, regardless of their race. Bessie fell to her death during a rehearsal for an air show on April 30, 1926 at 34 years old. She has since been inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame and her dream of opening a school to teach African-Americans to fly was realized when the Bessie Coleman Aero Club was established in 1929.

Event lasts from 14:00 UTC 8/24 until 14:00 UTC 8/27.

is this a discount on blueprints or supplies or both?

 

[oddin]

why they can't write an announcement properly so that we understand where the reduction applies exactly?

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

It's the same thing as an increase in blueprints. It's a reduction in cost of upgrades. For example: the first upgrade normally costs 50,000 gold and 40 blueprints. During this event it costs 37,500 gold and 32 blueprints. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Of course, you never know with these guys.

 

[oddin]

we were hoping for a reduction in supplies...would have been better right?

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

Not really. Unless you have supplies already handy, or multiple workers raring to go and happen to have those expeditions available just as the weekend rolls around. For a weekend event I'd rather have a reduction in the things I could potentially upgrade dozens of times instantaneously (levels) than ones that are upgraded a few times on a timer (stars).

Am I missing something? No discount in game.

i didnt realize “level up” officially meant improvement on the individual stats. yes these are better than star-up because we all have artifacts that could use some levelling up but not everyone would have artifacts worth unlocking stars for
