Infinite Horizons 2

You can use the formula: =CEILING(Ships*20 / (500 + Upgrades*20)) to compute the minimum number of ships you'd have to buy to generate the same increase in capacity.

You can then use =SUMPRODUCT(3 * (4500 * 1.03^(ROW(INDIRECT(Ships+1 & ":" & Ships + Ceiling))) - 4475)) to compute the total gold cost of buying ships.

But for upgrades you'd have to manually plug in each upgrade cost and I want a formula that computes it dynamically.

So, in the end I ended up making a simple version here: https://docs.google.com/spread…KH3IIick/edit?usp=sharing but it requires you inputting the price of the upgrades instead of computing the price dynamically, which is what I'd prefer.

The example price is also with Optician 50, and ideally, you'd put the level of Optician in the formula.

But the point was that I wanted someone else to make this, not me.

Slinger attack level 23

Hoplites armour +50 , attack i do not remeber

Spearman levels 12/19

Forge active

Slingers attack lev 24

Hoplites +60 armour ( that is with 20 base armour and forge 100 armour so immune to barbarian second line )

Hoplites +50 attack

Wanted to leave my 2 cents here on the workshop changes. Been playing Ikariam on and off for close to 15 years, and this is the most ridiculous and game-breaking change I've seen. Purely benefits the whales of the game and widens the gap even more between them and the average player, which was already ridiculously high, and this time completely destroys the fighting mechanics that was the most exciting part of the game in my opinion.

I think it's pointless to argue with them, as they don't give a crap, and there's 0 chance they will change it back, too much greed. But I hope at least they release new servers where this garbage change is turned off and upgrades are capped once again, where the game is worth playing again.

Next time, need to read the patch notes before coming back, pointlessly spent the money to boost my account just to discover this change and leave again.

Well the upgrades are now the ticket. It is possible to do double damage on someone if you have the right ones but that's a real complicated bunch of numbers on what needs upgrading and what doesnt.

Try this for upgrades

carriers-7 and 12

rockets-10 and 9

speeds-13 and 3

rams-18 and 9

steams-10 and 12

morts-10 and 3

If your in an alliance with some good fighters then they should and probably are focusing on upgrades and then you build troops and ships to sell them as their upgrades take over as soon as they buy them. Then you can focus upgrades on say just hops and swords and gyros to add to long battles if you want to participate.

Or you can go all out and upgrade everything but it's expensive and some things dont need upgrades in defense and some in offence but it's complex because of what the enemy has upgraded so it's something you have to find out for yourself in battles. It takes a bit more strategy now to beat the whales but look at the carrier damage on the last cr I posted. I have seen some cr's where we lost no carriers.

I did not like this whole change myself as like most I dont have a lot of glass towns so ambro has to be used. I would suggest guys getting bullied join a big alliance. Get your upgrades up and take on the whales!

Is it really worth the expenditure of gold and crystal? Would it not have been better to spend the gold and crystal on superior units? Or does this enable combat without sulphur?

On flank it enables battle without sulphur, but only against barbarians.

Then it is just experiments.

Since i dont play anymore competitive i am wasting resources on slingers

Each unit has two different upgrades. What if they upgrade the transport ships speed as well, or loading speed. that would be great.

Very slow progression
