Had to make a profile to say my piece on this.
This update is going to throw the server into a black hole.
The idea of expanding further onto the game is great, but this is just completely out of scale. Upgrading your town hall 5 levels past 40 is a great idea, but making it 26 levels is insane. Trading port to 70, 3 depots to level 80. 20 colonies. The pure scale of this update is insanely out of proportion.
Giving each building 5 levels of additional upgrades is fine, and might be just what the game needs. I don't even have words for what im seeing.
Roll this back or postpone the time of its release, take some more community feedback and reevaluate. This is insane. This is gonna skyrocket bullying of smaller players > more players leaving > less ambro sale > less money for the Ikariam developers.
Best regards
