there is a quote i like:
"If you cant fight them, then join them"
Thats exactly what i did when i began to know the rule: a single player may have 11 accounts at the same server.

Well that's clearly an alt account.
nope. An account has 3 float which was designed for pillaging for grown. Its got about 5 millions points in last 6 months.
This is how it look like

i agree with you. Why have to play when its all you can do ?
many ppl in my alliance think thats way. If i cant loot from you, then why should i let you be there - especially when you are near from them ? they shall wait until you automatically out of vacation mode and start pillage. Do it with patience. If you have nothing to loot, they wait when you have something. In the end, oneday looting give them res as collected res in month.
When map become small because of sea chart archive, when the effective of looting more and more better because of workshop, then why not pillage?
In pic below, the float is waiting for the guy in vacation mode wake up (automatically). Everything i said is real and its happening.

Display MoreI'm sorry but when they gave us new spots, it was clear (if not written) that new buildings will show up.
We have 20 spots per city
4 are absolutely necessary : Town Hall, Tavern, Museum, Palace
The 5 reducers are needed.
The 2 boosters are clearly a must have
Having a barrack and a Hideout is needed.
We need at least 2 building for storage (more is not needed in general)
I add the Chronos Forge.
So we have 4 spots lefts for :
Building needed in only one city :
God's shrine
Embassy
Building that can be build depending of your game style
Temple
Trading Post
Academy
Workshop
Sea Chart
Black market
So to be clear, except for two cities where you only have 3 spots, you have 4 spots for 6 buildings.
You realize that Ikariam is a strategic game and giving us two more slots make no sense, right ?
you are wrong.
With adding more power on update arm in workshop, add more researesearch future, more gold by shire God update, big accounts can force small accounts to quit the game by attack constantly unless you go to vacation mode. In 1 year of vacation mode, you shall quit the game. Thats I am sure.
And No Forge ? Then don't need big accounts, only small account with Forge may make you quit the game.
The same reason with hide out. If you towns is separated and has now hide out. Ppl like me will hunt you down for res. How much res do you have ? Many arm you got in every town ? Type of arm ? The time you off, I can make a perfect battle with ratio of damage is 3:7 or more, make you feel so powerless and dont have any will to resist.
Do you like it ?
And dont forget one more thing. With no cap for sea archive, no cap for update cargo ship, big accounts can go very far in map to get res. There shall be nowhere safe to play.

2 or 3 years only update warehouse may make ppl get boring and quit the game. That's the coin of new update which developers may not consider it.
-
The one disagree adding slot because you are playing small account and the need updating warehouse doesn't exit.
As long as you update Palace to 15 or above, you shall see why you need more than 2 warehouse or dumb. When you try to update Palace or government to 17, and if you build 1 or 2 warehouse, the cost to update warehouse equal the res to update Palace.
And therefor, if you can see it from like 1 or years ago, you shall build as many warehouses as you can. It cost you alot of time and resources, and then they said: No, we add one more vital building for big accounts and you have to have it because the game remove 20 days limit building time. WTF ? So now, instead of 1 year building warehouse to increase warehouse enough to update 1 level of Palace, gamer shall need 2 or 3 year to update warehouse without chronos ?
The cost is 2 years and more if you update Palace to 18 or 19.
This update impact more in above 100 million accounts. The small ones can't feel it.
-
if the units of ikariam were designed to be balanced: hop is balanced with robot. Steamship is balanced with fireside. Then why there is a big difference between updating these ?
It's better of all update units in workshop has the same price: crystal and gold in each level. The price could be increased every level.
-
90% he hacked into system.
Or he spent tons of ambrosias.
Why ?
Because even he got enough resources to build but building time is big problem. With fastest building server, on Aristocracy government, still cost 16 days for build a warehouse, meaning cost about 1 year of building to get enough of storage for update Palace. Meaning he got to spent 4 - 6 years updating nonstop to update to 20th palace without ambrosia. And thats impossible at the moment.

vote is still No
No-one vote stop the war. Sorry guy.
The ones was banned because of stupid reasons quickly buy other accounts and joun the war even more motivation than before. Even Go cant stop this war for you.

Display MoreThis conflict was started over the actions of a leech. An unwillingness by VIETās leadership to acknowledge the problem or use any of diplomacy turned a leeching wonder into an all-out war. Here we are, 5 months later, trying to talk to VIETās leadership again and getting nothing but crickets. It is obvious this is an alliance that doesnāt want to talk to people.
It is equally obvious that VIET is no longer interested in fighting. They have a few members willing to come visit our islands on occasion, but those get shut down quickly. For the last week, VIET has had a few players repeatedly āpillagingā the same empty towns on and around 18:80 despite never finding any goods.
On our side, weāre bored. Since the original problem (leeching) has been resolved and VIET doesnāt appear to be interested in any kind of official NAP or piracy truce, we are simply calling this war over.
Mods, please close the thread.
you just tell your general sent res to tuantam and sad story could end.
Few last weeks are new year holliday of us. And this greal General think we are afraid, increase looting Tuantam.
And you still dont move your town in your area. This act is provocative symbol with us.
So no, the war is continute. -
this city had been captured port from beginning and you dont even check before you wrote ? before you loot ?
we dont accept that. Every mistake has to repay.
-
Look at the date at top right of picture. This is town of tuantam at 12:98 in 23:01:2025. No temple at the moment
and guess what. He continue be attack by lost.
and he keep ask why dont stop the war.
You pissed all of us off
So its new term: Weapon X have to transport 10 mi of res to tuantam from WEAPONS X's TOWNS.
And he have to ask tuantam to stop the war. Remember: have to add many please in your messenger when you sent to Tuantam. When Tuanam say yes, then the war may end.

Who is making decisions in your alliance? Who are you representing? I want to know who I'm talking to. List the names of the players. Its disrespectful to come here and make demands, while you're using the alias of a different player on the server.
Also, you're in no position to make any demands, such as having us move our towns from your area. Especially when you started this war, because you're too "lazy" to communicate.
it sound like ridiculous but how about this: everyone have their vote, everyone may talk, may give their option. That's how decision was made.
no interest in doing kind of stuff like: secretary. no fun at all. So tell me: why someone have to do it ?
PS: and be honest you are talking to me: the softest, easiest one in our alliance.I am too easy person to be secretary.
-
Who are you?
The secretary of our is not fluent in English and lazy too. So thats the reason why your mess was ignored. And others who can write in E without transtrale app were lazy to be secretary.
We vote in group chat and I was sent to talk to you because I can communicate in English.
ok, I shall ask who want to take this job: chat with you guy. Just wait. This one shall sent mess to June

Tuantam said: he was attacked by weaponX when his temples were updating.
But when in war, leeching in enemy islands is nomal thing.
when war stop, the leeching shall end. Leeching was not accepted in Viet too. Tuantam is a new player (since 2021), he dont understand leeching mean. At first, when he saw wonder island is 5, he believe he done enough and stop update temple. If he knew it better, he wont bother to build temple at Demeter garden.

I will use this nickname to represent the Viet alliance. I borrow this nickname, note: I am not truongtamphong in the game.
1. The war began because WLS attack one of our member without negotiate. Maybe some of you think Viet is easy target at the time. Account tuantam is a busy man in real life and he not understand how temple work or leaching mean.But if you chose to talk in the alliance channel, it would go alot more easier way.
It is obvious that we will respond to the attack, and some lost member was decided to join. That how war started, not suddenly like June said.
2. This war has been going on for quite a long time and our new year is coming. At this scale of the war, arm or gold of both side are nothing. If one side is distracted for 30 minutes, they will lose and have to run away and the result was cities was pillaged. Some combat reports cannot describe the severity and harshness of the war. Ppl were in the war are burn out. Work and personal life are seriously affected. But i have to say: lost alliance is much richer than us. Many of us have to thank you for your res, of couse some of us have to VM in long time. If the war had continued, perhaps the two alliances would have been equally rich.
3. Although there were still a few voices of opposition, the vast majority passed. We want to stop the war here with 2 conditions:
- you have to relocation town of batman in 4:56 and town of sergio in 2:54.
- No attacking to each others.
-
Have you ever consider lacking of citizens when building army ? It cost gold: meaning cost resources as well.
I dont see any profitable here. If it has any, they already do that for years.
-
no, ika strength is not in visual. Chasing this target would cost alot of money and nothing good could come. Focus on pro, not coin.
One thing you can change: GF could make game more social. Like you can set status beside your nick name. When ppl click in island or view high score list, they can see this status.
Ex: I sell marble at 10.
And you made tradeship for buy/sell stuff run faster than usual. Or made special ship which buy in dockyard for that. New ship could buy by ambrosia.
-
not only new mini games. Gameforce may add the way highscore display. This very easy way, cost GF programers some more text codes .
1) Like top score of ppl around 20 islands of player.
2) top score of ppl begin to play in the same months or same week in this server
3) top score of ppl begin the play in the months or week in all server.
4).....
There are many way to do. Make new pleasure, more happiness for gamers.

you should quit. Spent more time, more money on more account if you want to win. Life is fair. You should pay for what you expect to get.
A worrying amount of players have been doing this for years, I actually endorse this advice though.. if enough people quit the wallet warriors with 10 accounts can finally have the game they want all to them selves.
Ppl quit because the game is hard and lack of intermediary incentive reward system.
But what about ikariam ? Want to be top of server ? Too hard for almost everyone. When ppl realized they cant get anything, they lack of fun, and they quit.
The game should have more mini games in game. By completing these game, player get resources and they can competition in these minigame. Pirate is a example: a very good minigame. But be destroyed by bots.
I've been playing since 08.. I know people who played for 10 years that have quit.. it ain't cause it's too hard.
Ppl do thing because these please them.
thats why they separate your learning at school by term and year. Thats also why they set kpi for each target workers archive instead of money factory earn every year.
Examples are everywhere. Just think about it.
When you agree about ppl do thing for pleasure. Now, look about how this game made pleasure for us.
In first 6 months, there are many works to do. Also many archive they can get: New units, new researches, the distance points between ppl are narrow make them illusion they can do it, can archive anything. It's all possible.(that's why gameforce keep open new servers every month) And in these time, they make mistakes.
But after then, they realized: they can't catch up ppl. They have better solutions and they did it from beginning. They seek pleasure in something/someone else.
Like: bully new players. Be a hero protecting weak players. Become a leader of alliance. Pay back a bigger player who bully them in beginning.....
Without joys and happiness, the game is no longer a game. Its a duty, a responsibility. And they quit when they facing this.
In my server now, there are ppl only play pirate game for fun. Not for res. They don't build any. Don't do any but pirate game. Dont even build more storages to get more piracy reward. No. Just raid and win piracy game. Nothing more.
