My Precious ..time (and yours)

What we are missing most in the game?

Time!

Everything goes so slowly. Building, pillaging, loading from pillaging, units.

O.K ! ..there are wonders, but still you need 1 hour to pillage a dead one, in your island.

So.. why don't we ask for a embedded building , like the one with the well of Ambrosia?

We can call it "Rush Hour" Master builders, technician, pillages and all that are hired to do the Job.. faster...way faster.

Once per month it can give us a free 24 hour use of double speed X2 !

But why stay at double, while we can pay with gold or resources to take the advantage of quad Speed X4!!

Wait.. ! We can pay more.. for "ludicrous speed" for Six times faster x6 !! (back at the old days, when a beta version 3 appeared with a sever of 6 times faster)

But, we should also set restrictions.. in order to protect smaller accounts

The "Rush Hour" can be enabled if you have 6 cities.

Also when "Rush Hour" apples you are free to pillage only 5 times.(per city) Beyond that point you enter the "Dark side" and get banned for 2 days

Because as Cleobulus said " all in good measure, all in moderation, moderation is the best thing"

6 times speed means 10 min to get there and come back, plus 10 min for loading after pillaging

Quote from Luky

ARES ......

What Ares can do, with this idea?

Ares gives moral.

The idea gives speed to everything.

This is a server only for wars.

The others are for everything.

The idea is optional. No one is forced to spend, to take advantage of shrinking time, as well as the well of Ambrosia.

Try to get from one edge of the map, to the other.. or even to the center.

You need 12 hours with no active wonder. (Also, do all players have an active wonder?)

Besides.

What not bring that speed to normal servers, with the ability of optional feature?

Quote from Rastan

The game is slow it always has been.

I would like to see sea/army battles sped up to 5mins per round though.

but it's a slow game and always has been it just seems slower as you get larger because of the resource cost for that next building level.

Why the " Temple of Hermes" does not affect pillaging? Why not speed up everything. Why I need 12 Hours to go to the other side of the map, because my area is Full empty? Yes. The game was and still is slow. But all other elements got bigger

Haters gonna hate..Bro I am in 100%.Players need boost on everything!

They don't hate. They are afraid that this speed will allow to pillage them. That they will lose everything.

The participant is the Great defense. Not the features that you can pay for

Quote from Rastan

I mean that's a good point I think it should I think a lot of the lesser used wonders should be reworked so that they're more useful.

As far as the other side of the map.. you should really get posiden cuts travel time in half and this WILL make pillaging faster if you have to travel off island.

Difficult to raise level 5 of any wonder, alone. (not impossible though)

Because other don't want. Because other are waiting for you to do the hard job.

Quote from Rastan

what do you mean "raise"? IIRC the donations to it aren't that expensive.

as far as faith goes it's simple anyone with a temple just needs 98% faith. you can be the only person on the island and raise it no problem.

if it takes more than that then you have a leech.

You are referring to a single action. Get in there fast. (and not even come back fast. But taking the graphic route. Because when Poseidon ends, ships take take the full Tour)

I am proposing a Speed to everything. x2, x4, X6

Build faster

Train Units faster

Gather Mats & Gold faster

Travel faster. Even loading after pillage goes faster

Scientists goes nuts

Send units to another Galaxy ( ) and come back with the same speed. (not after 22 hours)

Quote from Draxo

One of the cases when someone just does not understand that Ikariam is a very long-long term game.

That reason too. Because the game goes sooooooooooooo slowly from 2008 when I entered first time in the game.

People want some speed. But they don't like the idea, that someone from the other side of the map, can pillage them.

We can add restrictions as I said
