Uh huh. I tapped the I button on trader. I don’t have 50 yet. I tapped the population button and it’s there is 380 but only 31 available. Also, how I get diamonds besides buying them?
That means build/upgrade more residences!
There are lots of way to gather diamonds, but it will probably take a while before you get to that point in the game.
- As you have seen you can buy them, but if you wait for a while there will be special offers coming up that offer diamonds at a discount (up to 100% extra), or they offer other things for free in addition to the diamonds.
If you don´t want to spend money at all there still many ways besides:
- Some quests between chapters offer diamond rewards.
- Crafting in your Magic Academy (which you obviously first have to research and then build) will give you mystical objects after a while and those occasionally contain them.
- The spire shows up when you get to chapter 3 (I think?) where you can get diamonds as rewards. You can also gain a building there (called genie) which will occasionally produce them.
- Another building that occasionally produces diamonds is called wishing well, it used to be part of events, but it has not been available anymore for quite a while now, we shall see if they ever appear again in the future (they were very popular).
- occasionally there some kind of contests by Inno outside the game (like on facebook) that can offer diamonds as prizes.
I am sure there more ways, but right now I can´t remember, others will add them for sure
