Diamonds can be spent on a lot, here are some of the things:
- Double production in a supply building or a house. This cannot be done if the building is motivated, and costs 25 diamonds. This can be useful when producing a day of production, but usually that is a bad idea.
- Scout a province immediately (you can't pay diamonds to have the scout scout a province though). This costs 50 diamonds, and is often worth it!
- Buying goods at a price of 5 diamonds each (so 50 lumber would cost the same as 50 whale oil - 250 diamonds)
- Buying forge points - Unless you REALLY need forge points desperately, like to go up an entire rank in a great building construction before someone else does, this is not worth it for 50 diamonds per forge point.
- Paying for missing coins or supplies, but this only applies for research! You then don't have to pay coins/supplies to unlock the technology, and you can keep them instead. This costs 60 diamonds each, and is only really good for things like Industrialization, which costs 300,000 supplies.
- Unlocking the fifth slot in Military Buildings (depending on the age, this varies between 30 and 120 diamonds)
- Training military units instantly, for 50 diamonds. Generally not worth it because only Rogues take longer than 4 hours to train.
- Healing and reviving units. This costs 4 diamonds per hit point. Dead units can only be revived immediately after the battle they died in. If you were using unattached units, it is a good idea to do this if they die.
- Purchasing blueprints, for 200 diamonds each. This is much better than the 2:1 trade-in because you know what you're going to get, and you can't get duplicates. Especially useful if you're just looking for one last blueprint.
- Purchasing an expansion for your city. The price for every expansion is listed in the expansion page . This is very useful since there are a finite number of expansions available through the exploration map and technology tree.
