    Quote from Iman_Oldie

    Surely it would only require one message to the whole alliance.


    You assume you're the only player sending that diplomat a message. During a merge, when EVERYONE is trying to completely refill their museums, diplomats can get dozens of messages a day just for CTs, let alone any CT requests of their own plus however many alliance members sending circulars asking for messages...


    By the end of the first day of the merge, I personally had over 500 messages in my inbox.



    Quote from User12996

    I thought premium increased the amount of messages / 5 minutes.


    Once the Festival of Worlds is over, I will have to test this. I could be wrong, but I could swear I've run into this limitation even with the premium account running.

    Quote from NMadalin

    Yes, there is a limit of 5 messages in 5 minutes. However, the limit is off when you have a premium account, and when moving, everyone gets a premium account for 7 days.


    During the first week of the new server, the limit is raised to 25. (I ran into it trying to accept or reject CTs.) After that first week, however, the 5 message limit kicks in again. The premium account doesn't protect you from this.


    Quote from Morphias

    You need to delete them if someone else NEW joins the alliance and you want to send them a request


    You cant send a request if your SENT messages is more than the CTS you have available but you can accept all CT's no matter how many messages have been sent

    Exactly. If you want to send a request to someone, you have to go back through and clear out all of those unaccepted offers.


    Also, when your inbox keeps filling up with CT requests because EVERYONE is trying to fill their museums at once, it gets really hard to use your inbox for anything else. Having a quick way to remove those extra requests would be very nice.

    I believe they've even fixed the duplicate name issue. If the server already has a name that matches your username, the game will alter your username. I think it adds numbers or something to the end of it to make it unique.

    Quote from Morphias

    There will only be 3 US servers after the Merge. Minotaurus (opened February 20th), Medusa (New recipient) and Themis (New recipient)


    ALL other servers will be merged into Medusa and Themis


    I was referring to after the merge, when the dust has settled, if someone isn't happy with where they ended up they could go through the traditional graveyard process and have more options than just the US community.



    Quote from Splina

    except if you have high score... -,-


    An account on the graveyard still has way more options than an account on a current US server looking at the 2 merge options. ;)

    Quote from Morphias

    Luky  badidol I do not have a problem with how many servers are opened up each year, as new and old players want a variety to choose from. My only complaint about this particular merger is the time frame for the complete new set of server merges - We just did this back in February of 2024, just barely 2 years ago.


    It wasn't even that long ago. The US community specifically merged September 11, 2024. So it has only been a year and a half.

    The ancient Greek aspect of the game has been here since its inception. Personally, I find it hard to comprehend someone being offended by it and yet becoming a paying customer anyway. But to each his own? :/


    As others have already said, this is fiction, fantasy, make-believe, and not intended to be especially serious. After all, this is a game in an ancient setting that also includes rocket ships and gyrocopters. Just relax and have fun with it. :)

    This one deserves to be shared. It went 9 rounds.




    On round 9 he finally remembered to send in some mortars.

    Quote from Reaver

    I don't know how are you using ballons to take down a wall. For that, mortars are required.

    Balloons, in general, are used in defensive, to force the attacker to bring mortars in order to take down the wall, this way balloons kills mortars, hence better battle report. Exactly as Flaze mentioned above.


    In order to take down a high level wall, you need as many mortars as possible to survive the defender's balloons. So, what I did was wave full gyros, balloons, and mortars and recalled them each round. My balloons distracted the defender's gyros, so my own gyros were able to get full attacks on the enemy's balloons. Therefore, the defender didn't have many (or sometimes any) balloons survive long enough to attack my mortars. This allowed my mortars to take down sections of the wall. i sent a fresh wave each round so that my gyros and balloons were at full strength while the enemy's units were starting to fatigue.


    Did I lose some mortars? Yes. Was the damage ratio ugly? Absolutely. ;(


    But, the wall came down relatively quickly and I was able to start turning the damage ratio back around. ;)

    Quote from Flaze

    Incorrect. Before the update, balloons were mostly used when the opponent sent in mortars, to break down a wall, or against steam giants Using them to conserve gyro never made sense


    I don't know about before the update, but I know I've used balloons recently to conserve gyros. It made for some ugly rounds, but they helped me take down a level 48 wall in 4 rounds.


    When the current wonders were first implemented, Ares worked in all cities, even enemy towns, to prevent players from losing morale and scattering. So if you attacked an enemy's town and found an army with no cooks, you could activate Ares and prevent that army from scattering. The bug was around long enough that people start to build up Ares islands and use the wonder. Then, when the bug was fixed, those players had to move their towns since the wonder didn't do what they needed it to anymore.

    I am trying to sell goods in my trading post. The game is giving me an error saying I need a trade treaty to trade with partners out of range of my trading post. Obviously this player is within range, otherwise I wouldn't be seeing his buy offers.







    Notes:


    I do not have any trade treaties. I'm relying solely on what's visible in the trading post.


    My government form is Oligarchy.

    Quote from SOF

    Got a head injury at work, and I didnt feel like being on Ikariam.


    That's fair. NOR is the #3 alliance and has plenty of other people who can hold down the fort, right?


    Quote from SOF

    I know having a job is a foreign concept to several of your players :)


    Hardly, but keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep at night. :sleeping:

    Quote from Flaze

    I primarily play during war, and mostly during winter. I'm not sure how you expect me to get the new workshop upgrades in 48 hours?


    If your play style is warfare, what exactly was your plan for getting your military upgraded to where you could participate when a war came along? The update with new upgrades came out back in April. :/

    We started to turn it around and they ran. :(
