## Description

FoE - Helper is a Chrome extension designed to improve your Forge of Empires experience without violating any game rules. It provides a suite of helpful tools accessible via an in-game sidebar, including cost calculators for various places, personal account calculators to manage deposits, and an overview of your city's forge point production.

## Review summary

FoE - Helper is highly valued for enhancing the game and is described as essential by long-time users. It is feature-rich and offers convenient tools. However, reliability is a major concern: updates often break functionality, some users see it not load or not start the game, and core features like city/production views or the blue galaxy helper disappear. Compatibility with older systems and ongoing post-update fixes are recurring themes. Users urge keeping it up-to-date and for developers to address stability.

### Pros

- Feature-rich with many tools that enhance gameplay.
- Provides convenient access and launcher (FOE Tools dropdown) to start the game from the extension.

### Cons

- Updates can break functionality and stop the extension from working (e.g., post-update issues like 4.0.1.0).
- Not loading or starting the game from the browser; the extension becomes non-responsive across multiple browsers.
- Key features may be missing or broken after updates (city overview/map, production overview, blue galaxy helper).
- Compatibility issues with older systems (Windows 7, Firefox ESR) and ongoing instability after FoE changes requiring frequent updates.
- Some users report that many features do not work reliably, indicating overall reliability problems.
