"What's Next?" Question Thread

  • GameForge was talking about obstacles to server merge, which is one of the biggest wishes of players. Now that they remove obstacles (one way or another), players are asking GameForge now.


    :/ "What's Next?" :/


    Players who wants to see a new "authoritative letter" from GameForge is meeting in this thread. New expectations will be listed in this thread and a response will be sought from GameForge.


    So we start this thread and ask GameForge:


    :/ 1) What do you think about adding different views (day/night or weather) to Ikariam? :/


    :/ 2) What do you think about holding award-winning tournaments in score categories other than Piracy? :/


    :/ 3) What do you think about shortening round times in battles? :/


    :/ 4) Do you have a feature project that is logically similar to Barbarians but on a larger scale? :/


    :/ 5) Do you think of any differences that would give the attacker an advantage in looting an inactive player? :/


    Our questions are not over and we will continue to ask GameForge.


    Stay tuned. 8)

  • Another 5 years without any major release would be my expectation. ;)

    I guess you got tired of the "Soft Merge" season. :whistling:

    So we go ahead and ask GameForge:


    :/ 6) What do you think about Utopia (research) being valid in every town instead of just the capital? :/


    :/ 7) What do you think about holding an Ambrosia award-winning tournament on the war server? :/

    :/ 9) What do you think about being able to buy Ambrosia with a very large amount of Gold? :/


    :/ 10) What do you think about increasing the number of Warehouses that can be built in a town from 4 to 5? :/


    Our questions are not over and we will continue to ask GameForge.


    Stay tuned. 8)

  • My bet would be to not expect anything unless it involves an in-game purchase involving ambrosia/money. The last new free "feature" I remember being added is Sea Chart Archive, which is actually useful in this late-game stage. Perhaps they will add another new building after a decade or two.

    Don't sink into despair and keep struggle for your Ikariam. :thumbup:


    Because we must do this. 8)

  • I would like see a new kind of merchant boat that you can build in the shipyard. So you can tranport more goods around between you're city's. It would cost wood and gold to make. And you need to pay a amount of gold when you use the'se boats, like battleships.

  • :/ 1) What do you think about adding different views (day/night or weather) to Ikariam? :/


    I think it would be a great change, a great variety. Ikariam nowadays can be boring for some players. But I don't think any of the operators would want to think about it. It can be difficult to apply.

  • Chuck "Bee" Bashlick I like the questions you asked, and many of them are also what I want to ask.

    I'm glad you liked it. ^^

    Still, we'd like to hear GameForge's opinion on such things, right? :/

    Yeah, since the Ikariam server's time is by Germany time, so on US servers it would be a night view all the day - why not? :P

    Why did you say "all the day"? :/ While it is day in the USA, will it not be night in Germany?


    For those who are curious, let's take a look. :/


    US states with a time difference of 6 hours from Germany are Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.


    US states with a time difference of 7 hours from Germany are Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.


    US states with a time difference of 8 hours from Germany are Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.


    US states with a time difference of 9 hours from Germany are California, Nevada and Oregon.


    US state with a time difference of 10 hours from Germany is Alaska.


    US state with a time difference of 11 hours from Germany is Hawaii.


    We go ahead and ask GameForge:


    :/ 51) What do you think about being able to see players who built Temple from monument on island? :/


    :/ 52) What do you think about enlarging the battlefield? :/


    :/ 53) What do you think about adding "reducing maintenance costs of Scientists" to the effects of "Scientific Future" (from Future Researches)? :/


    :/ 54) What do you think about increasing the amount of raw materials that Barbarian Villages will give? :/


    :/ 55) What do you think about removing production-restricting Bandit feature from Barbarians and giving it to Spies? :/
