There are 4 Bosses.
This is the third introduced to the game.
It is still unknown how and when we will fight him, but for sure it'd be soon (means July, at worst August)

Unless you face someone with submarines at level 15+ defence, then all your dreams will be over.
Attack is essential in some cases as well.
As I said to another group, one-shot rockets that die instantly, despite your carriers' attack, are one thing, but facing submarines with strong defence is a completely different story. They won’t go down easily to your carriers, even if your carriers have level 10 damage and 25 def.
You should play the game.
For real, subs are expensive and get melted with 22+ speedy ships and 6 carriers.
Melted.
I did obliterate over 100 Submarines in 5minutes, they die like flies.We had a big discussion about subs with some of the top fighters and remember they are defensive and not offensive. With the right amount of proper upgrades They can work very well and especially against waves. It's too complicated to explain it all here but when waved in a big battle they can be very effective.
what would the proper upgrades be in your opinion?
thnaks in advance
Viking puts out a lot of youtube vids about ikariam.
Heres troops.
I had good laughs at the expensive mistakes, thanks
Don't waste crystal and gold on Rocket defense, 2nd line defense, Speed boat attack is half of what it should be, if you are not sure what to upgrade, ask first. -

between +10/10 and +15/15 costs normal amount of crystal without using premium trader too much or other ways
Anything above +20/20 is 1bil gold and 500mil crystal and capacity in towns that requires actually developed account.
Even accounts with 470mil total score show +15~20......but people with multies are +25 easily nowadays and Thrall even +35~+40 -

Yes,they really did make this game unplayable for honest players.
Just learn to play instead of complaining about it. Up your storage, focus on the upgrades that matter, etcИ
Huh? You a troll or something? Let me teach you how to play: Make 1+10 STRONG accounts (and by make, I mean Inherit with Gift system, which doesn't exist anymore or buy from the Black Market). Let them Dig on clustered Archipelagos.
Step 2: Now buy 10-20 bil total donation accounts from Black Market to pump those islands to 6X/5X
Step 3: Now, ask your friend to enter your alt alliance and rob you daily 10 of them.
Step 4: You mirror each other and you rob his 10 farm accounts made in similar fashion.
Step 5: Donate some ambrosia for x2 warehouse limits and reach 300mil cap
Step 6: Make 25~27 lv speed paddle upgardes by converting any res to crystal with premium trader
Step 7: Go to forums and type "Just learn to play instead of complaining about it. Up your storage, focus on the upgrades that matter, etcИ "
P.S. Gold, as always is generated by thin air in this game *wink wink* -
What I wanted to get out of this is that the problem here is not with the v14 update. There is something to improve, of course, for example on land the balloon is quite unbalanced.
The source of the problem, the possibility of multi, I think Badidol knows this, everyone knows it, but for some reason it is good business for GF that multi is allowed in the game..
Wow has multiboxes, mmos open infinite clients (before your system crash)
Be glad we live in the era of AI, should I spoil you how it all ends?
But yeah too late for that in 2026, I have no solution sadly. -

Közzéteszek pár cr-t, amik bemutatják, hogy a korlátlan fejlesztések hogyan teszik játszhatatlanná ezt a játékot.
[csatolás='138699','nincs','hamis'][/csatolás]
Az enyémek 15-ösek és változnak, ez becsületes játékot jelent, és az ambrót üvegcserére használom. Először is, ennek a srácnak 5300 tendere van, korlátlan aranya és generátora az illegális multiplayerek miatt.
[attach='138700','nincs','igaz'][/attach]
Ez az ellenfél hamisítatlan. A gőzei 16 és 17.
Ez a játék régen szórakoztató volt, évekig a top 5 támadó pontszámú játékosok között voltam, néha egész éjjel harcoltam, de igazságos volt, és ügyességre volt szükség. Most már nincs szükség ügyességre. Valaki magyarázza el nekem, hogy a korlátlan fejlesztések hogyan tehették ezt jobb játékká.
Badidol, magyarázd el, hogy ez miben jobb, mintha egy 9 éves lennék.
Nem tudod legyőzni ezeket a csaló srácokat, és ne mondd, hogy nem csalnak, mert mi öregek tudjuk, hogyan csinálják, te pedig igen, mert nem vagy hülye.
Heisenberg szkripteket és botokat, Badidolt és tudod, hogy pont úgy használják őket, mint az összes régi játékgépezőt.
Ez a 10. kör.
[attach='138701','nincs','igaz'][/attach]
[attach='138702','nincs','igaz'][/attach]
A korlátlan fejlesztések az utolsó szög a koporsóban, és egy kétségbeesett kísérlet a GF számára, hogy pénzt keressen Ambrón.
Kész vagyok, a játék játszhatatlan.

Display MoreI'll post a few cr's that show how unlimited upgrades make this game unplayable.
Mine are 15 and change and that's playing honestly and using ambro to change for glass. For starters this guy has 5300 tenders, unlimited gold and gens because of illegal multi's.
This opponent is unforged.His steams are 16 and 17
This game used to be fun, I have been in top 5 offence scores for years fighting, sometimes all night but it was fair and skill was needed. There is no skill needed now. Someone please explain to me how unlimited upgrades made this a better game.
Badidol ,explain how this is better like I'm a 9 year old.
You can not beat these guys that cheat and dont say they dont because us old timers know how they do it and you do to because you are not dumb.
Heisenberg scripts and bots Badidol and you know they are being used just like all the old timers playing do.
This is round 10.
The unlimited upgrades are the final nail in the coffin and a desperate attempt for GF to make money off Ambro.
I am done,the game is unplayable.
I've fought thousands of sea and land battles since the update came out. It was clear from the very beginning that you need to increase your storage capacity and invest in upgrades if you want to fight. Not in palaces, governors...
Upgrades are important, there are a lot of upgrades that are useless and pointless.
If you don't invest in upgrades, just keep building, don't be surprised if you don't have a chance to fight on the front. This is not the difference caused by the previously shared tender. This is the difference caused by poorly invested resources....
The enemy is not at high levels at all.. I usually fight with 100-120k general points, I'm much more advanced than him, not with mastercard..
You miss one critical point, normal players already dag and invested their spare 20~40mil crystal in upgrades, while multies and richlings invested over 1 BILLION crystal in upgrades, therefor your point is really super valid, yet not possible for an ordinary player to achieve anyway.
Ikariam is the epitome of bad balanced game.
P.S. shhh don't say anything about gold, please, it is magical and comes from thin air. -
If i can advice you, go only to upgrade paddle attack. If next paddle attack up requires 50m crystal and you could do other different 10 ups to other ships, ignore them and just go for up paddle attack. If you want to remain competitive in naval combat it doesn't matter about ram or fire ship, you just need to be sure that your opponent lose >= number of balloons than you.
would you give the same advice for land army too?
Yes but it requires strong, developed account and a whole Green island.
If you don't have those, the tactic is invalid. -
Well Alliance player 1 sends fleet to alliance player 2 and from there sends some of the fleet to a third town of alliance player 3 who has ongoing navi battle.
1 minute after the fleet is send, arrow is used to fix the quantity of ships sent and upon arriving back, it scatters because of "block" that never existed and still has more fleet in said town of player 2, no battles happen at player 2 whatsoever - no blocks, message for scattering mentions after an ongoing navi "battle" in the town of player 3 ships scattered from a block..... even tho ships never arrived to player 3 to fight at all, because they were returned 1min after being sent.....

One of our fleets ran into a blockade on its way back from Player 3 to Player 2. The exhausted units had to scatter. -

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Oh boy
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I mean....I told you so.....years agoIt's mostly due to the difference in tenders. The defender has over 2x as many. They will fix doctors/tenders soon per badidol.
x20 hp means x20 tenders (200hp heal x 400 tenders) still fills all units in this case, in fact tenders cap at 700 then diminishing returns, anything above is wasted.
It is all pure upgrades -

If I want to stay in vacation for 3-4 years I will.
For free.
And you won't touch my resources, greedy troll -
It is a known old bug. Rare.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is with the new system, though, but that's probably because I played Ogame before Ikariam. In Ogame, you always had w/s/a (equivalent to Ikariam's upgrades, but for all ships and defense).
If you want to go around attacking other players, this is a good system for you, because you're incentivized to upgrade your troops and the more you upgrade, the greater your battlefield advantage should be.
Every post complaining about it is always around the lines of "what if someone has more upgrades than me?!" which, well, increase your upgrades, th
The Balance of the game was around the fact that an account with 2million score can fight 1:1 against a player with 200million score and win.
Now, developed accounts used to have the following advantages:
1:Way More action points
2:More attack and defense positions
3:More Occupation and Block availability
4:Way More gold income
5:Less CDs of miracles
6:Way Faster creation of troops and navy
7:48lv walls
But at least armies were matched. All you had to do was make gold, buy army and fight with an actual chance!
And now, Ikariam BROKE the game. No more balance whatsoever.
I have +6/6 Gyrocopters and when I fight against +12/12 (or more), by second round I lose 30 out of 40 per round, while the enemy loses 6.
So I have to invest 5x more resources compared to the whale huh?
Conclusion: Ikariam lost it's balance. Gameforge gave you the solution - buy ambrosia, buy crystal and gold, upgrade. That is their business model. Force players into a Pay to Play scenario.
I am not paying. I am leaving. -

Does the hideout above lvl 60 allows you to hire more spies and have better anti-spy defense? I checked the changelog, but it only mentions minimum training time.
Also does shipyard beyond lvl 38 further reduces ship constructing times?
Depends on the Town Hall
If you have say lv 35 Town Hall, a lv 43 Hideout with 43 spies working for your defense cap even the easiest infiltration missions to 95% risk
So even if you go for lv 60 hideout, you are already capped.
But when you upgrade Town Hall a few levels, you gotta compensate with more Hideout levels and spies working as counter agents
I am pretty much sure that the Enemy Hideout level was also in the formula, so now things are changed - you are not capped with 32 Hideout and 43 spies if the enemy is above 60This does not answer my question - all I am asking are the shipyard and hideout upgrades only for points or they actually give you advantages.
they do give you advantage.

Their actions suggest they will shut down the forums soon to save costs from hosting it.
No. We simply exchanged the link ingame from the less used platform forum to the already more used platform Discord.
The forum is in no current danger of being shut down and there are no mid to long term plans to do so.
Well that's good to know, considering many games closed their forums so far in favor to discord
-
The end of forum
Only discord
Yes I noticed that too, please can anyone explain what is that ?
