On the Einstein mission I can’t get past quest 2. No matter how many buildings I motivate or polish it doesn’t seem to register them. What am I doing wrong? Help please.
Hi Duncan,
It is better to contact FoE support if you spent 11 forge points and motivated/polished 10 buildings and it doesn’t let you pass that quest.
