Disliked. Much to cpmplicated. I stoped playing the event after 1 day. It's the first event I didn't play to the end.

The event was great but there is a fundamental problem with the game: the Love Garden and the Christmas Market. Both of them require quite a lot of reorganizing which can get very expensive. That`s why I would suggest a day or a week or another period of time designated EVERY year for moving buildings for FREE (no cost). I think the game needs this the most nowadays because of the constant new buildings and their design. I personally like the Observatory very much and I hope the known issues about the building will be solved soon(generals not arriving in the assigned time). The Weather Station would be great one day if it would only affect personal units, NOT enemy units. I would not mind if the Weather Station would get a nerf if it would only affect personal units.
As for the Specialists:
The geologist has a bad mechanic because I cannot know if the 50% chance to find deposits that can be mined 100% faster occurs. Only after I build the mine or put an Industrial mine I can find out the good or bad news. In this case, I would potentially lose an Industrial saltpeter or titanium mine for basically a coin flip..
The explorer has a great ability especially in events.
All in all, the event was great and brought players together by doing co-op and multiplayer adventures which I think is crucial to keep the game alive and interesting.
