New Building Spot

The new building needs to be put in one city only. I would be very much surprised if you won't find that place in any current or future towns.

Otherwise: it's a matter of making choices. I made mine in the past, where I decided to cut down on some things to keep spots available in my town for future patches. In all of my towns I have one spot available. And at most of them even two. So for me this is not a sacrifice at all.

The only difference between our builds might be: 1) I don't have many warehouses. I only have 1 dump and 1 warehouse currently. Will that change with future needs? Sure. But that's future work. 2) I don't have academies anymore as I finished all my researches (and kept a strategic reserve of 20M just in case).

No, we don't need a new building spot. Last time we already got 4 (!!!) new spots. It's a strategy to decide which buildings to have and which not.

Let's be honest. There is a few reasons why an extra slot absolutely is not needed in my opinion.

1. It's one building in one city.

2. We 'recently' got 4 extra spaces.

3. With the addition of those 4 spaces, everyone was already told they were added with future updates in mind (new buildings could be included).

So if you used all the slots in all cities, that's a choice, but the consequence is you are not able to build the Shrine right now without destroying something. So how you are going yo handle that is up to you. Wait for a new colony or just destroy one building on one of the previously added slots.

Hi

Just a question, because i havent really understood it.

Did the developeres specifically say, that they have added 4 new building spots, because they were planning (back then), to add 4 new buildings in the futur?

Or, did they add 4 building slots just to give out more favors to players? So we can build more warehouses, ressource reducers and stuff.

If 4 buildings are coming into the futur (The shrine is one of them, so 3 are comming in the futur), then its time for me to consider having 12 towns in total.

Instead of 7 now. My play was to have 8 in total, but if 4 are comming then, its time to go for 12 towns

No.

They said we got those 4 Building Spots even though they seemed a lot at that moment, because in the future there would be new buildings, making us need these 4 Spots.

So they just wanted to avoid having to add new Building spots each time they introduce new Buildings.

And yes, obviously we have too many currently and it's insane to demand more imo.

agree it's only 1 building for the entire empire.. you can make room, I believe in you OP!

It's simply impossible not to have one free place, it's literally impossible, I don't know what you have to do with the account to fill all the places in all cities. Now it is not even necessary to have one free place in each city, one free place on the whole account is enough for this update.

Ohh, its definitely not impossible to have no free spots in your towns!

All my permanent towns were full. I ended up demolishing a Forester to make room for the shrine. Not a huge deal, as it was really just a place holder for the 'future' updates that had been mentioned sometime back. And I'll have some more spaces free up when I finish getting the level 6 Academy achievement. And after that, I can still drop one or more of my old pre-update storage buildings - will be a long time before I need 4 warehouses and a depot all at level 40. But it is quite easy to use all the spaces. Even before the shrine, I was paying moving squares with the buildings I want and the spaces I had.

Just a correction to my comment. (I have just created my town number 8).

I just found out that i dont need 12 towns if the developers adds buildings in the future. I can stick with just 8. And thats because currently i got 4 trading posts in 4 towns. I can demolish 3 and keep 1 town with 1 trading post.

Also i can free up 8 more space slots, when i have researched everything (Cause i have 8 academy in each town).

And demolish 1 warehouse in each town (8 in total), when i have 4 warehouses in each town.

Meaning: 3 + 8 + 8 = 19!

So thats more space slots, than the developeres can add new buildings in the next 5 years i guess! And if the developers adds a building that has to be built in each town, than there is still space. 19 - 8 (1 in each town if i have 8 towns) = 11!

So its a no thanks for me to add more building slots. Actually i need more new buildings XD

And if the day comes when Ikariam adds more buildings than i have just mentioned the 19 building slots, then i can just create more towns than just 8
