Speaking of cheating… didn’t TheGodfather get banned for like 6 months for being a multi user cheat?

Quote from Fawkes

I am still shocked how dumb the trade ship situation is.

So the devs did think to reset the price of Ambrosia ships after the 41th ship, but they did not think to do the same for the normal ships? How does this make any sense???

And instead they added 200 new ships that cost 33.000.000.000 gold, more than any player (should) have. It realistically will take at least 10years to acquire them, but most likely will take 20-30 for most players. Obviously nobody will have enough money to buy them, and the game will die in 2 years.

I am still shocked that the game does not have that minimum of QA to filter out stuff like this. Shameful, shameful moment. Can't wait for the update that comes 3 weeks from now (I bet), that will reduce the price of the gold trade ships and (maybe?) give us the spent gold back.

Shame on you, Ikariam devs. You are incompetent. And this is not an attack or an insult, don't take it personally. It is just an observation.

And to those who defend this change: start buying ships. See how far you get.

Your post here seems contradictory to your post #853 where you complained that adding 4 new building spots removes strategy from the game (which I happen to agree with). The current trade ship prices force players to be strategic in how they allocate gold - do you want that 200k MS or to buy the next trade ship. The least strategic game is the one where everybody can have everything.

It's not the addition of new building slots or the price of trade ships that's going to kill the game, it's the rampant cheating via unlinked multi-accounts and bots that will kill the game. In the meantime, I'm fine if I can't afford that 300th trade ship just yet...

What part has THE DEVELOPER OF THIS NEW VERSION not understood that more spaces are needed in the colonies, faster in the game in the extraction of resources, more merchant ships and less construction costs, to explain better?

Why are these things needed? Because they would make the game easier? Because then you wouldn't have make any sacrifice in what you build, as you could just build everything in every town? At that point, they might as well just start everyone with 21 colonies with every building maxed. You don't NEED to max out every building to be successful in this game. You didn't need to max out every building before this update; you certainly don't need to max out every building after this update. Be strategic in what you upgrade. Be strategic in when you upgrade. Accept that you can't upgrade everything to the maximum level in every town. It's okay (and the smart players won't even try).

Maybe you can explain to us how to distribute wine in 20 cities with the current merchants.The rest of the things are debatable, each player will have a different opinion.

What is also true is that an update has been asking for years to make the game faster, not slower.

Don't build 20 cities? Or, have 6 of them as floaters that don't need wine? Or have 12 wine cities? Or build all your cities on the same cluster of islands with several Poseidon miracles? Less than 15 minutes to load and send wine from wine town to non-wine town every other day (at most). Even if you have 16 non-wine towns that's 4 hours of wine-shipping every other or every third day. I'm not seeing the problem. I'm sure you can figure it out by the time you get that 20th town up and going.

Quote from volnard

Too many levels , too fast , unsufficient resources when the growth from one level of most buildings to the next one is linear and so small, please at least make it scale because I think no one ,absolutely no one wants to pay millions of marble for a 2% because you'll die before that's a good investment

Then the smart player won't bother with that upgrade. The absurdity of the times and resources involved are the best part of this new version. My initial fear on hearing the new building levels that were available was that they would immediately upset the balance of the game. This is clearly not going to be an issue in the short term unless Elon Musk decides he's not buying Twitter and is going to spend that money on ambrosia instead so he can shorten building times.

There seems to be a mania by some members of the community that it's no longer practical to "finish" the game and max out every building in every town. This is a good thing. It means one has to strategize about which buildings they prioritize. For this reason, I hope they don't increase the number of building spots. For people clamoring about needing 5 warehouses and 3 depots, "No! You don't!" (at least, not for many many years!).

Quote from FEARx5

hahahahahaha well, junjun and laine are girls, and we for sure know we cant defeat girls in using their MOUTHS. (if you know what i mean)

so we will just use our troops to destroy you guys

I don't know what you mean. Why don't you try and explain it to me, preferably in a way that doesn't make you sound like a misogynistic jackass.

It seems S-P has debuted a new alliance website. Their membership rules caught my attention:

1. Be willing to participate in wars
2. We recommend you only apply if you are a warlike player
3. We want our members to their towns only in Forge and Poseidon islands
4. We can accept Colossus islands as well, but not recommended
5. Offensive Points list is important to us, so try to be active and stay on the list

Let's review how the leadership of S-P is living up to these standards.

• The leader, King-Bruxe has a town named COLOSSUS at 38:52, which is an island with Athena`s Parthenon. Also, he only has 35 OP, which seems like a surprisingly low number for the leader of an alliance that has been at war for the last 6 months and where OPs are supposedly important. Maybe it's time for K-B to boot himself for failing to follow the rules of his own alliance?
• The General of S-P, The_Godfather, recently got back from being banned. He immediately went and bought himself an impressive navy. More than 20k ships. In the few weeks that he's been back he's racked up... 18k OP. Any "warlike" player should have more OP than ships. Maybe it's time for GF to be booted as well.
• The Home Sec, Andras, has a total of 1,453 OP. I guess he doesn't make the cut for being S-P material.
• The diplomat of S-P, Donkey SF, has accumulated an impressive 4,622 OP, just sneaking onto the first page of OP results at position 48.

In summary, the 4 leaders of S-P don't live up the their own alliance rules. In fact, only 5 of the 50 members of S-P are in the top 50 on the OP list (which is very very very important!). I guess the other 45 will be booted?

It's unfortunate to see a once respected alliance turned into such a feeble remnant of its former self.

King-Bruxe, please be better.

Apparently, while he was banned for cheating, The_Godfodder forgot that he shouldn't leave his navy laying around.

The_Godfather[S-P]'s army has fled because they were exhausted from fighting.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate S-P on becoming the #2 alliance on the alpha server. Only through King-Bruxe’s leadership could such a feat be realized.

Heard the sad news that jojogol is leaving S-P due to a lack of support from leadership. Of course, King-Bruxe doesn't care if S-P self-destructs, as long as he protects his precious feeders.

Smiting the "God Of War". 8 rounds of getting whooped and then he ran.

Quote from JuneBarcarolle

We had a big fight going in Badboy's town of steel toe boots. Badboy and Awo0 were both sending in fleets to defend the town. Eventually, Badboy decided he didn't care if we took his port. So he scattered his ships, leaving Awo0's fleet to get slaughtered. Another great example of SP teamwork.

Wow. I guess that explains why S-P members usually don't bother coming to each others aid.

p.s. Awo0 - I doubt you read the boards, but you deserve better.

Wait. Let me get this straight. Vendon spent 48 hours straight battling Wild Wolf on an island that he shares with three additional S-P members (HvC, Gucky1, and Nuramon SF) and not a single S-P member could be bothered to help their alliancemate from losing more than 100k in MS? Wow King-Bruxe, that's quite the alliance you've got there!

Quote from PunkyPunky

LOL and what about this VNS Player then that you temporary give to SP it came like this when i'm online

Huh?

Lets see if you can make sense here.

Lost and BP had back to back undeclared wars.

* Regime change to depose BP's Leader.

* Having Marvel booted from BP.

What right does June have to chose Alliance Leaders or its membership?

Neither of those sit well with any Alliance.

Now they return.

Meanwhile, you play kissy face with Lost for gold, as your original Alliance is at war. Not sure what that says about your character. Maybe you awaken to Lost using you/PH and come to your senses before the Kool-Aid completely erases your mind.

Is this one of the "undeclared" wars you're talking about? Lost Declares War on Black Pearl (-BP-)

Quote from Starman

Quote from skyhawk377

telling part of a story, but leaving out the parts that don't make one look good, is also known as lying.

June has a loooong history for lying like you said.

Leaving out the part that WLS/Lost Home Secretary's didn't vet Lake's alleged multi's for nearly 7 years makes those Alliances sooo smart .

Starman

Starman. What are you even rambling about this time? I can normally piece together some sliver of coherency in your nonsense, but even I can't parse your unintelligible drivel in this post. Are you really trying to claim that June was lying about the cause of this war because WLS/LOST don't perform comprehensive background checks on players applying to their alliances? And then you're trying to draw some equivalency between this fact and The_Godfather's intentional omission of his use of colossus from the CR he posted, specifically because he views using colossus as the dishonor badge of ikariam? I'm sure that somewhere in the deep recesses of that potato you call a brain this all makes sense, but to the rest of alpha you just come off a petulant little child that can't stop obsessing about that fact the WLS and LOST are highly respected alliances, June is a highly respected leader, and you're just the "Alpha US Spokesman" for VNS making asinine comments on a message board.

If you don't want words to do the talking, then perhaps you should consider removing these words from your profile:

Maybe you could replace them with the following:

The miracle of Cosa Nostra[S-P] 'Colossus' is activated. (28.02.2022 12:00:09)

Or, is this one of those situations where it's strategy when you use colossus, but dishonorable when others do it?

Q: If Colossus is the "Dishonour Badge of Ikariam", then what do you call buying 50k ships, warping a town, and then hitting v-mode as soon as you encounter resistance?

A: Cowardice? Shameful? Embarrassing?

V-mode. It's SOP at S-P.

Oh look. Starman butting into an issue that doesn't concern him to feed his own attention seeking obsession. Glad to see that some things haven't changed with the new year. Does anyone want to guess how long it will be until he brings up Veronica Viking or how there was that one time he beat Elmo in a battle in 2006? Please Starman, tell us all how you are the true victim here. We can't wait.

Quote from Starman

I'd never leave that many units unattended in anyone's town.

Or, maybe you're just not as good as you think you are.
