Update

  • I will wait until the implementation of the update until I properly pass judgement. At first I was alarmed, but in reality this will likely not be an issue because most people will be unable to reach anywhere near these limits.


    Personally I would have to demolish and rebuild a lot of buildings that I previously had and thought I would never need again, but I suppose this just an inevitable consequence of being part of a game that changes with time. I'm just happy to see GF do something, even if it is just changing some numbers in the server code.


    My main concerns are the number of building spaces required to accomplish such upgrades and the lack of trade ships available to transport necessary goods.


    Regarding language issues, this is an English forum. There is no debate needed beyond that.

  • Do the tavern, museum and the "Forms of government: Democracy" covers the full citizen size of the town hall Level 66? The current version of Ikariam (8.7.2) covers only till Town Hall Level 38.

    This topic is soved with the new satisfaction of taverna and museeum.

  • So, I've did some calculating and asuming that it'll be possible to build Palace 20 with 5WH and 3 Dumps at max (and max reductors ofc) without using ambrosia, then at current storage capabilities the last level will cost (((5*85)+(3*80*4))*8.000) 11.080.000 wood.


    However, they already told us, that storage capacity will be changed (and heavily implied it will increase), so lets asume they'll keep it simple and raise it to 10.000/Wh level and we'll get a price of 13.850.000 wood (for just the last level, not accumulated) although my personal bet is on 13.849.999*. That'll take a while to reach.


    Personally I'm looking forward to finally having something new to build even if it'll take another decade. I was ruining out of things to do. Heck, even my Sawmill on Alpha (DE1) will reach Lv59 in a few days.

  • Nice update to build more, but:


    We need more level research than future25.

    We need more merchant ships.

    We need more build spots.


    Can GF say somenthing more for the update? or we only can wait without more info?

    hello, could you inform me if there is any possibility of an update that could move the buildings out of place?

  • Miracles are extremely important issue here and looks no update on them?


    Will cooldown calculations going to change?


    Will there be updates on miracle bonuses etc.???

    Im not sure they've taken into consideration the colossus heavy players, I've had to fight a few but they have to sacrifice a lot for it but with another 8 towns to stack up the sacrifices should be much less now.


    if you you have 20 of them and theocracy you could get the cool down to under 1hr.. and it's not hard to drag a fight out for at least an hour with barely any troops.. esp if you have a high wall.


    Im really curious how they're going to balance out these changes so the players don't break the game a dozen different ways.

  • In my opinion the direction of GF's changes is sure, but it's going too far, it is kind of exaggeration. E.g. three more cities, max level of town 45, one more depot per city, museum, trade port etc. +3 or +4 max. level and that's it. Enough. Or if they want to double maximum of performance our cities, just divide, impart it to few phases – e.g. one per 3 months.

    Double everything in Ikariam and do it in one huge upgrade is a recklessness, not courage.

    I understand that these changes are for years and people will have a content for another 10 years maybe. But it changes our play, our gameplay and it's better to making smaller steps, and after years come to such big levels of buildings and everything.

  • if you you have 20 of them and theocracy you could get the cool down to under 1hr.. and it's not hard to drag a fight out for at least an hour with barely any troops.. esp if you have a high wall.

    I believe you've miscalulated somewhere. By my calculation the max cd for the Collossus you could get is 2h 44min (21cities & theocracy).

  • I think this is likely going to be the last major update, barring some major influx of players that bring cash flow into the game.


    Any other changes will probably be incremental.


    So, it does make sense for it to be really huge and take years to exhaust.

  • I do not think they are there to troll/insult but they are venting over an big update, or before bugs that take ages to be fixed. Like, I think it is kind of passive aggressive to immediately assume someone is trolling and not helpful to the topic overall either by replying in such a manner. Also, if you are only allowed to say positive things it is kind of pointless to have a topic.

    And it makes sense for them to write in a way that I understand, if they want me to answer, wouldn't you agree?

    If all I read is odd jibberish and nonsensical words thrown together, then I simply don't understand them. It's as simple as that.

    And this is where the OFF TOPIC discussion about what language to write in in the ENGLISH section ENDS!


    there's no disrespect in speaking other language

    It is, as other participants cannot understand.

    it is not, every web browser translate automatically.

    No. Not every browser does that automatically.

    Apart from that: if you want to speak Spanish, then do so. In the SPANISH section, not in the ENGLISH section. It's as simple as that.


    I think this is likely going to be the last major update

    Think again.


    General reminder:


    1. This is the English section. Write in English or live with the fact that I will ignore your post and may even warn you for spam. It's as simple as that.
    2. Please make the effort to read the thread and the announcement. 75% of the questions asked here (an on Discord) had already been previously answered.
    3. Please keep this on topic. Asking for things not referring to this update are not on topic. Make your own thread.

  • I think this is likely going to be the last major update

    Think again.

    It was a hypothesis, based on the general neglect this game seems to have gotten.


    It would be good to see GF take some interest in actually developing the game again, as much as a mixed bag those changes often are.


    Also, this is probably the most profound thing you have actually said in this thread.


    Is your refusal to give us even a hint as to how the changes will be promulgated based on the roll out being kind of a limited beta and the numbers are going to be adjusted prior to final and full roll out?

  • I may be wrong, since I was not here from the very very beginning, I started in 2008, but I THINK this major update is because this is the 15th Anniversary of the game, similar to what they did when O-Game became 15.

  • It's close, but I believe Ikariam started in early 2008. So we're not quite to the 15th anniversary yet. I know Alpha.en was in February 2008.
