The various options for adding a bonus to the Crow's Nest, or guaranteed number of fp's per day are fine, but they detract from the idea of it being essentially a Wishing Well. Introducing Terrace Farms shrinking kits / upgrade kits would seem like a good idea. And for good reasons: the only reason to have Terrace Farms is if you don't get enough m/o to have Shrines of Knowledge instead - which are MUCH more space efficient. Improving the Crow's Nest to be better than Little Wishing Wells would make it much better than the Terrace Farm. Little wishing wells are much easier to find place for and more flexible.

If the diamond chance are worse, or even just similar, there is little need to fit a huge 5x5 in your city. Wishing wells you get in every event, can win in daily and weekly chests, and both it and the shrinking kits can be collected in large numbers in events that have a Daily Prize. The bonus for it being a main Event Building would then be the improved chances of getting fp's or goods, over coins, medals or supplies. I agree with those who say that the Crow's Nest, which is basically a large wishing well, should provide at least as many diamonds as little wishing wells on the same amount of tiles (counting road commections needed). The Crow's Nest being a large wishing well is an interesting idea. It would be nice to have more than one good Gold prize, but the ship upgrades are SO good that they are hard to beat in that respect, in my opinion. By saving up Dubloons so I can spin multiple times, I have a reasonable chance of getting gold. I always wait for my neighbors to get rid of the bad prizes, and spin only when there is a good Gold prize. Otherwise, the fp's might be ok, but not good enough to spin for. The Ship selection kits are useful if you need a lvl 1 Ship. The Guard Posts are fun but completely underwhelming in stats. I'm very happy that Inno is including the upgrades for previous year's rewards in the events these days. Just like the Tholos upgrades were in the soccer event. For me, the Ship upgrades are the main prize in this event.
