Server Merge Additional Questions

  • Oh what a day it was, I just hope this was the last merge and I won't ever have to face such adrenaline ever again.
    Now I have question about ship speed. 2% or 2x (200%)?

    The bonus from merging is 2%


    To verify this go to "Help" then click on "Ships" and look at the speed of "Cargo Ships" - normal speed = 60


    If says 120 then it is 2x

    If says 61/62 then is 2%

  • Thank you for your answer, but that was not the point about my question. We are not all very active players and have different schedules, so it is almost impossible for all of us to be active at the same time. given that we did quite well actually and actually got on new server in good numbers.


    I was just wondering if any of you have seen the strange behavior of those turkish players?

    Are they just normal players (no problem here)

    are they there just for piracy (not ideal, but to be expected on large servers and will probably leave in due time, after stealing all pirate points)

    or is there something i am not aware of. Some tactic to pillage or some exploit i am not aware of.

  • If says 66/67 then you are on server with 25% increase to tradeships and the 2% Festival bonus

  • Hi all,

    I am currently in the process of attacking the barbarian village(L45) and hunting for the achievement(s). I was wondering if the level would reset after I migrate to a different server?

  • I had 3 different islands where I attacked the barbarians (they were L49 on all 3 of them).

    After the migration, I ended up with 1 island with L49 barbarians. Don't know why, but the other 2 did not migrate also :D

  • I had 3 different islands where I attacked the barbarians (they were L49 on all 3 of them).

    After the migration, I ended up with 1 island with L49 barbarians. Don't know why, but the other 2 did not migrate also :D

    Ah, that's a shame. In my case, I only have 1 island with L45 and the rest of them are L1. So perhaps I won't be affected? Thanks for the reply!

  • What happens if my account is still active on its original server and during these days it goes into inactive mode... does it go directly to Asphodel when it becomes inactive?

    No, depending on how old your account is, I am guessing not new, you will show as inactive for up to about 1 week, then when you will ghost out of that server and go to the Asphodel (Graveyard) servers

    Like 1400+ days.


    2nd.In case I have an account transfer, I could make use of it and move to another community.

  • Move from there to avoid bad dreams in the scary night. I felt prejudiced and contemptuous towards Turkish players in your article. Every player can play anywhere.

  • It's not really strange behavior. For all we know, he could be blocking for another account to join and waiting to see what happens.


    In your situation, I would've hoped someone would've made a multi just to block, then you could pick an island, block, unblock and let you warp, etc.


    I hope you picked the no bonus server because all of the other servers are so crowded that good luck getting empty islands anywhere.

    Hey I know there is a limit on accounts per server 11, but is there a limit on lobbies?
    since the merger I have a few accounts on a single server and I wanted to break them up into different lobbies my understanding is you can gift accounts via a code generation option?

    No.

    Correct.

    No, it was not about anyone moving in, it was just about pirates. it is 1 turkish player and a lot of his multies. He seems to have 1 main account from which he attacks other people, and his multies he uses to prevent blocking whole islands.

    We actually as alliance has some small multies to block off the spots, but he was too fast. he already placed his colonies in first 15 minutes of merge, before all of my alliance mates transferred to server. I got in the morning, but some could only make it in afternoon.

    Now they are waiting for him to leave, so a spot opens up


    We have agreed not to collect pirates anymore, so he will have no reason to stay. I don't care about pirates really, but about the island spot, so we will see.

    That cockroach is there for the pirates... scum of the earth

    Referring to humans as cockroaches may be fine wherever you are from, here on our platform we urge you to refrain from such vocabulary.

  • LOL hey look on the bright side could be there to destroy your islands faith.


    there are a lot of reasons why they showed up


    1 could be they intended to move there and you guys moved in at the same time, this happen to me in the 2015? merger.. the first merger.
    1 of my towns got left off the island as I was moving it as someone else was and back then the warps expired after a little bit so you used them or lost them.

    So waiting for a spot wasn't an option.


    they could be there to have a foot hold to pillage you in the future.


    they could be there to destroy your faith you won't know this untill the towns are built up if they're new


    pirates will often use colonies to avoid long pirate raid times, they'll setup shop, build a pirate fort, raid and leave


    lots of possibilities, hopefully they're not there for the island faith because that is the worse possible outcome on this, at least if they're aggressive you can group up and fight htem off but island faith, nope.. ain'nt nothing you can do about it except pull their slack or if it's bad enough accept it and drop your priests.


    of course there is always the move option but town warps don't grow on tree's so that can be an expensive option and that might be what they're hoping for.


    if they want that island for them selves they could build up the towns wreck your faith and finally you give up and move and then they can move in fully.\


    Good Luck to you.

  • racist discourse

  • They are there only for pirates. there is one turk who is the main account and goes for pirates. but he has multies that he uses to block out island spots (1 account on 3 of our islands). then he deletes that colony and moves his raiding colony there, attacks everybody, leaves and places his multi colony back on.


    In my case even if he was there to ruin faith, he would have little effect. it is 1 town and we have at least 8+ towns with temples. it would be inconvenient and annoying for sure, but we would "only" need to buff up priests to 110% or so.


    We agreed that we would not go for pirates at all, so we hope that he would leave.


    Again it is not about pirates, but the fact that some of my alliance mates cannot place their colony, since the ishmaelite is still there. at least he could set up raiding colony on one of adjacent islands and not the main ones if he wants to have a spot.

  • Somehow I don't think the conversation would be much different here if he had a town he left there and only built a pirate fort to raid you and then destroyed it leaving the town.


    Be faster next time sorry your boys didn't move in time they should have stayed up like the rest of us.

    It was at 10:00 at my timezone, and many have to work at that hour.


    Lets hope the little saracen will leave shortly, after all there are a lot of bigger fish on the server, who might actually try and go for pirates.

  • I am actually considering pulling a leech on him.


    I might build multi accounts with sole purpose to nuke his wonders. He has 6 accounts on 6 different poseidon islands, and 7 mobile towns for piracy. Might actually have some effect if he could not use that sweet, sweet speed boost.


    Not really ma kind of dirty tactic, but at least this way he might be willing to drop his multies for me dropping mine
