Entire army vanished from a city, after the update to 16.0.1 from 04.02.2026

  • Hi,

    My entire army just vanished during a small fight, right after the update from 04.02.2026. My army size was about 180k+ troops.


    Server: RO/Lips

    Player name: Reaver

    Player ID: 100535

    City Name: Bellatrix

    City ID: 5074


    I was in some fights with some guys on the island where my above city is placed.

    This is the events timeline:


    Time: 18:17:59. My army from a previous fight in that city:


    Time: 18:26:59. The attacker comes again, but I send all my army away, so the attacker will only fight the wall:


    Right after the first round starts, I retreat my army, which returns into the city, during the wall fight.


    Next, the attacker sends mortars, so I decide to join my army, by pressing the blue button from the city island View: "Join Ground fight".

    At this point I do not get any message (normally I should receive a message that my army has joined the fight).

    Looking at the military movements, my army did NOT join the fight.


    Time: 18:41:59. The fight ends, without my army:


    I am puzzled. I look into the city: there is no army.

    Looking into the city barracks i just see 0 everywhere!!! Not in the military movements, not in the barracks view, not scattered. My army is nowhere.


    The army was not dismantled away, by mistake, lets say, since the citizens are not full:



    The army you can see in the first image, is just GONE, for good. And I have enough gold, about 978M, so there is no way a gold issue.

    My military score dropped from 520k to 236k, my gold income increased from -350k to +90k.

    Two days later, my army is still missing from that city!!!


    This is a SERIOUS issue in this game, after this update, since it is so easy to loose over 180k troops!


    I already opened a ticket to Ikariam Support, I was asked for pictures and details, but that's it.

    I really hope you can do something to bring my army back, no matter what, but also do something to this update, because if it happened to me, it can happen to anyone starting this point.

  • No luck :(

    They admitted that it might be a bug, but since it happened to me it is an isolated situation and they are refusing to return my army :|

    Not even the invested resources :|

    This is really a shame!!!
