Server-wide Alliance Wars for Gold and Glory

  • Many battle-focused players just attacks random players regularly because of the lack of events where they can regularly use their troops. Ikariam needs to have regular battle events wherein everyone can showcase their fighting skills, not just focusing on stealing from other players.


    Ikariam can create seasonal server-wide alliance wars:

    1. All Alliances can register. Then, they'll pick their top 10 representatives.
    2. Everyone who joined can attack all other alliances' participants and during the time period, scores will be calculated. So, if there are 20 alliances who joined, 200 players will be battling for the whole war season - let's say 2 weeks.
    3. The winner alliance will have its members have 5% more resource production. The 10 registered members would have an additional 5% more gold production, 5% less troops upkeep, and 5% attack points boost on all their troops. On top of that, the alliance will be crowned the Champion Alliance (or something like that) for the season and it will be announced server wide. The flag and name of the Champion Alliance will be planted on all the islands in the server and will be at the top of the Alliance highscore lists regardless of the alliance points. It's like the Champion Alliance occupies all the islands in the server.
    4. All the rewards will last until the next war season starts (maybe this lasts for a month?) and Ikariam should have a dashboard to record the champions per season. This gives the winner the gold and glory as the reward.
    5. We can have the top 2-5 alliances have consolation prizes.


    However, gen banks and multis might ruin this, as how they are ruining all other mechanics in Ikariam.

  • I really really really like this idea


    ***If it was pre-workshop upgrades


    That’s all.

    Now I don’t think I would bother. I’ve already said gauntlets are USELESS now, this would be the same.


    Also, don’t give an attack boost to the champions, I like fair gameplay not domination


    Also 2 weeks isn’t a long enough war season, my opinion


    Apart from that, lovely

  • I agree that it doesn't make much sense to have such a thing currently with the new Upgrades and that Multis would certainly ruin it.


    Generally speaking some real War-Competition would be interesting in Ika, with benefits for the winners, but I think right now Ikariam just lacks too much Groundwork to make something like this reality.

  • Agreed, the rewards and the rules could be tweaked a bit.


    For the workshop upgrades, maybe during the war season, upgrades won't have any effect on the battles happened on registered players' towns. Their towns would have an icon similar to the bird on players with God's protection.


    The event's concept can be like "people are displaying their strength to please the Gods, and Gods reward them with gold and glory".


    Then, the icon on the registered players is labelled as God's gladiator or God's warrior, or similar to that which nullifies all the workshop upgrades on the battles on that town to show the warrior's true strength.


    Since this is an event for the Gods, we can also have favour as part of the rewards to the 10 Gods' warriors of winner alliances and their God's Shrines wouldn't be limited to 1000 favours until the next season starts.

    Still, multis and gen banks would ruin this.

  • with or without banks

    with or without multies

    with or without upgrades..


    it would still make sense and bring benefits for all because these type of players will have something to focus on, a decent objective fitting their paly style and rewards of course

    all this isntead of ruining someone's else experience just because the only option now for rewards is to pillage another player...


    so yes, with or without current issues this would still be a nice addition with good effects for all

    Many battle focused players who attack random players are doing so because they know they can win, not because they're wanting a true fight. If anyone is looking for a chance to fight, I would suggest checking out Eurydike.us. There's a new never-ending war going on.



    Also, the last time Ikariam had a server-wide "battle" event, the mechanics used had nothing to do with the battle system. ?(

    Turmoil's in the air

    Hold your breath be deadly calm

    Make a final prayer

    Don't forget what you have done

  • New never ending is bold words for something like a month old. Also needs to be competitive to be never ending and idk if it’s even matchup. The longer it drags on though the better, I will be joining once I’m available ;))

    The Hydra had an interesting concept, but it was clearly not fleshed out.


    I would rather remember the "Red vs Blue" Event, which goes more into the above mentioned direction.


    But again, right now it wouldn't matter much what Sort of War-Event they would introduce, probably none of them would rly end well.
