Pirate Fortress Capture Run Security

  • I spend a lot of money on this game. If the devs want my continued support they should look at improving the security code system to make the characters more distinct.

    I'm tired of them being rejected over and over ...

  • I know why it is there. Perhaps a different system like recognising a picture. Cars, birds, traffic lights and so on. It's a far better system IMHO and bots can't recognise pics AFAIK. Just a suggestion. I can always leave the game.

    Threats are usually not a strong argument to make a point, you choose to pay for certain premium options in the game.

    You are correct but it wasn't a threat, it is a fact which I have rectified. After all that work and the "pain" of accumulating capture points, all 23,000+ were stolen from me overnight so I'll demolish my Fortresses. Problem solved.

    While I'm here I'll have a whinge about the help system in this game. I first played Ikariam 12 years ago and the Help system is still archaic and missing crucial material for the game. I'll try again in another 12 years, if I live that long .... Bye ....

    I hear you!

    I have magnifier pinned to my task bar + reading glasses and on screen keyboard to assist me. When the captcha is still difficult, hit enter until something more decipherable is displayed.

    Thanks for the support. I use a physical magnifying glass. Hitting Enter is a great tip, thanks.

    Sure thing!

    Isn't browser zoom easier, like Ctrl+?

    Sure, if one is typing a lot.

    Too much work when you are clicking the mouse playing Ikariam anyways...

  • That still involves more keyboard usage and mouse usage. Carpal tunnel is real.

  • Guys and gals, if I'm not mistaken does Crew Strength reset after the 3 weeks valuation?

    I'm sure mine was over 20k but now 3k.

    If that is the case I may just give this part of the game a miss.

  • Of course it does. Everything related to piracy is reset after the 3 weeks.

    I guess my expectations are different to yours. I didn't expect it to be a given. It makes more sense to me to continue to grow your Crew Strength. The way it is now is the person that spends the most time playing and hitting that Capture button and solving a puzzle, wins.

    They are not my expectations. These are the Game expectations. It's game rules, not mine!

    In theory, it is what you said. In practice, wins the player who has the most bots used for piracy.
