Chronos' Forge Milestone 3

    Dear players,


    after the milestone is before the milestone!


    While we're looking into the feedback we're gathering, we've been authorised to give you a small preview of parts of what Milestone 3 of Infinite Horizons will contain.

    We're aware, this addresses only small parts of your current feedback. We'll address your concerns about building costs, resource production and the battle system further along the line in upcoming posts once game design and product manager have finished going through your feedback.


    Introducing Chronos' Forge!

    With the Infinite Horizons Part 3 update, we’re introducing a powerful new building that brings strategic expansion to the next level: Chronos' Forge!


    What is Chronos' Forge?

    Chronos' Forge is a brand-new building designed to reduce construction times for all your buildings within the city it's built in. As you level it up, the time savings become even more significant.


    • Applies to all buildings in the same city
    • Reduces both construction and upgrade times
    • Does not affect its own construction time
    • Does not affect resource nodes on the island


    How Does It Work?

    Every level of Chronos' Forge grants a percentage-based time reduction to building times. That means the more you invest in this building, the quicker you'll be able to level up everything else.


    Construction times shown in the building window will reflect the reduced duration

    Hovering your mouse over a building’s timer will reveal the original time, the reduction bonus, and the final build time


    Requirements

    You’ll need a Town Hall Level 5 to build the Chronos' Forge. Construction costs scale with each level.


    Not Final – Subject to Change!

    While this information gives you a preview of what to expect, please note that all values and effects are still subject to balancing and may change before the full release. We're committed to gathering feedback and fine-tuning this system via our Public Test Server.


    Looks like we're finally getting the RoboFactory in Ikariam.

    The Chronos Forge is good for building a new city, but I think it's useless for developed cities. Large cities depend on resources, not construction time. I'd like to know the construction costs of this new building at low levels.


    I like that GF continue updating the game. Good job!

    Without knowing the cost to build and the building time reduction, I believe we should withhold judgement.

    If you're using Ambrosia to convert resources then I think cities depend more on shipping and storage space,. When buildings are taking the max of 16 or 20 days to build then a significant time reduction is going to be a huge benefit.

    With costs like this, I'm much less concerned about the time than I am getting all those resources in the first place. It's going to take a lot longer than 13 days to collect 27 million resources.

    I'd assume, for that level, it's more for building up new cities than it is for accelerating our existing cities and that's okay.

    Chronos' Forge doesn't belong in Ikariam!


    If you also made it a wonder, from the gods Chronos (Χρόνος) or Kairos (Καιρός), then I could still accept it.

    Here we're already deviating from Greek mythology and taking so-called technologies from other games, you might as well make it C&C3: Tiberium Wars...


    Don't forget about UFOs; in Book II of 'Posthomerica', there's a description of a strange sign in the sky observed by the Greeks before setting sail against Troy...

    personal opinion :

    all the latest innovations in the game, being very very decisive in the management and growth of accounts, were perhaps better if they were made active only and exclusively on the new servers.

    Because once they are active on all servers, those with highly developed accounts can grow much faster than those with smaller accounts, and above all can have much more military strength that a small account will never be able to overcome, not even with its tactical and strategic skills.

    The ship has kind of sailed on that.

    I wonder..

    When I proposed an almost same idea, everyone was voting down. Because the most of the players they are using ambrosia for speeding time. (they said)

    Now gameforged decided to invest on "Time rushing" ..

    very weird


    2 or more are building simultaneously

    It also works for upgrades which is probably a lot more relevant to you.
