Update

Quote from Daniel Murphy

you gain resources from every unit or ship destroyed in your cities, no matter the owner

Ah, that's very interesting. After factoring the gold cost of the units - both maintenance and population loss - and the cost of the priests in the temple, I'd decided that it still wasn't worthwhile.

That is a question.

according to my calculations, around 1.8M resources can be obtained this way per day (with a fair 1:1 exchange with a teammate, 12 cities, max lvl barracks and shipyards everywhere, the most effective possible strategy (that I could theoretically come up with)) which puts this method in the same levels like top mining and top looting.

however, of the above 3 ways, the easiest is because

- having 12 cities on +44/55 mines is damn expensive

- every day 15x+ driving home 120k materials already requires a lot of time, ambrosia to move the city and opportunities (who can fulfill that??)

as long as the player does not explicitly stick to different accounts, it is a strategy like any other, each has its pros and cons

* 200 additional trade ships (going from 180 to 380)

* 40 additional phoenician trade ships (going from 40 to 80)

very happy with the announcement of V 8.9.0 but should the ships not be from 181 to 380 and 41 to 80?

Can't wait to see my new spots to build on.

Basically it says "you could have 180, now you can have 380" and so on.

Changelog

• 4 new additional building slots

This is huge, and we definitely need an option to visually change the position of buildings in the city.

We have the possibility to teleport a city, there should be an option to teleport an building(maybe between cities too).

Too many building slots

Ships not enough

This update is worse than before

The result is 0 consruction strategy and a temporary solution for ships

The people who made the changes play this game?

Maybe spend a few minutes on thinking about your posts before posting them.

Firstly: people were asking for more building slots for years.

Secondly: you have no idea if those slots may not even be not enough with coming further updates.

Thirdly: welcome to online gaming. Things change over time. That's the reality of EVERY online game.

Since August 2008. You too?

it is known how much gold will be needed for 200 new ships and how much ambr. for 40 Phoenician??

I don't like the 4 new vacancies, so any strategy will completely disappear from the game, everyone will be able to build everything. and going back to my previous post, it's not even worth doing mines anymore when you can loot so many resources in a day

Awesome version!

The gold to buy the new merchants ships use the same formula or is capped?

(sorry translate)

If the formula is kept to the new ships, you need:

- 34.9 bilion gold(34 912 770 798) to buy the 200 new ships(assumed you already have 180)

- 35 bilion gold(35 004 678 105) to buy all 380 ships

The first 180 ships cost us 91.9 milion gold(91 907 307).

I hope there will be a limit of 5M or 10M gold per merchant, if not we will buy only the fenicians xD

Thanks for the updates!,

I liked the new 4 slots however it looks a lot, 2 would be more reasonable, I feel like this is gonna eliminate the strategy on choosing what to build on towns since now everyone able to build all the buildings at each town. Not need to decide what to build etc.

The 4 new construction sites are really cool. we get rid of trying to decide which building to sacrifice. really cool update.

Don't build on all new places, it seems with the new updates we will need them. Probably we will get new buildings.

You mean it's good to not use our brains to decide on which strategy we gonna follow in a Strategy Based Online Game  

lol

you asked for more slots and when you get them you complain

Personally I feel like 4 additional slots is too much, it would be enough with 2 - at least until (if) we get any new buildings. Now, I believe we will end up with players who will start to use these slots without any strategy... and then they will start to scream again once Gameforge adds new buildings and they will need to demolish buildings.

This is the true gameplay experience in ikariam since 2008.

Any updates on deleting inactives? Will it ever come up or will there always be more important topics? It is impossible that we talked about it and that no one has any information.
