Nah not more than anyone else that use premium trader, as typed before it's a sulphur convert into marble!

To get that far from pre-patch is ~160M points. That's about 10 billion in resources after reducers. 10 billion in 15 months? Call it 10B in 500 days. That's 20M a day. I don't think so.

lets say its 250m points in ships, its about 5k usd if you are buying 1m for $20
seen way bigger spenders in others games

Who said he is buying? didn't knew there were such a feature to buy ships ingame for money!

your math isn't right

we know that master builder score is 100 resources = 1 point..

thus 160*10^6 points equals with 160*10^8 resources before reductions...

max reduction is 64%..

thus the actual ammount for 160M points will be

(1-0,64)*1,6*10^10 <-- >

5,76*10^9

5.76Billion resources

8.8 was installed on 6/9/2023

before 6/9 even with double capacity each city could store something like 25M resources in total..

thus if we assume that someone before the update had all his warehouses full with all the resources after the update he had 300M goods

therefore in order to get 160M points.. after the 8.8 someone had to get more 5.46Billion resources in 111 days

thus 49.19M per day.

if you want to be more exact

on the 1/21/2023 he had 103,552,849 total points

now he has 253,013,658

you are right..

thus 5.46 Billion resources in 476 Days

11.47M/day

In the survey thread I think I saw a peak of 3M per day with all bells and whistles. Increase that to 4M / day for the Shrine and we're still well short.

he buys ships and does hades

its not that difficult

Guys, if the game has people who can pay a lot for those things... GF has money for developing Ikariam and we can play for free. „Always look on the bright side of life.” It is good that we have those players on our servers.

Only Multi accounts have alts with generals to buy ships/ troops and Hades them.

Because of the IP sharing, he can't sell himself troops. I doubt unions will feed him just so he develops his own account for fun.
He either has illegal not IP shared multi or paid IRL somebody to get those ships. Again that is against the rules.
That are so many ships, unions take years to stockpile in a multi in permanent vacation somewhere.


P.S. The most dangerous kind of players - those who not only donate, but also cheat in any possible way, yet avoid bans because nothing can be proved, even if obvious.

of course

no one said it was legal

I get those messages all the time as a diplomat trying to pitch those to my members.. I just ignore them.

Honestly a little surprised the game is popular enough for anyone to try and farm it.. even more surprised anyone actually takes those people up on the offer.

Some players have cities with a single resource. They could all be marble. However, these players cannot benefit from Olympian gods other than marble. With the modification to be made in the future version, it would be nice if the donated god, for example Hephaestus, provides the marble city with a certain amount of sulfur

This means they use Premium Trade, no point to get benefits from other resources. At the end all resources are the same.

I mean if you choose to build all marble towns.. you kinda made your bed didn't you?

You can also use Plutus for gold.

Quote from Rastan

You can also use Plutus for gold.

Or Pan for Wood, so 3 out of 6 available.

Not sure where the problem is, f.e going only for Wine gives you big advantages and on newer servers with modifications often you receive +X% Marble, in the end everyone has to choose for themself.

I partly disagree. Bonus events do not always boost all resources equally. That could be a temporary incentive to boost another god instead.

For instance, I play with wine for all my cities, but whenever there is an event that only benefits wood (not wine), I switch over to Pan to get the extra boost for a couple of days, then I switch back.

But it is an expensive strategy as I let my Pan's grace die in between because it doesn't happen often.
