I'm now getting this:

You have activated a bonus in the Cinetheatre: 0 Favour

Before watching it does state you get 0 Favour so what is the point of making it an option to watch?

If you do not have the Premium Account activated then you can NOT go over 2,500 Favor and I am guessing 5,000 with Premium account, based on Badidol's posting.

I keep my Gods' Shrine up to date, sometimes I renew it early, when I get too much Favor OR I will spend Favor on the "Rewards" tab of the Daily Tasks

It used to be sort of easy to favor cap before the God's shrine but now you can basically do the booster of your choice, the god's shrine bonus for that booster, sawmill, and the god's shrine bonus for sawmill (if you use that). With those 4 I never cap anymore. Before with using only the sawmill/steam drill, I would cap sometimes.

I also use the free 1 day premium, too, that's another great one.

Quote from Morphias

ohh ok!

Did not know that about Bans - I never dealt with being Banned!

It's just part of the graveyarding process. Before the auto rename, you'd have to wait for your original account to get cleared out of the target server.

Using the latest version of firefox, the cinetheater sometimes gives me that error. I know it's a YT error but I couldn't find a solution to it.

Quote from Morphias

The system does not activate Vacation mode

That is the player realizing that they have not logged in and they, the player, activated the Vacation mode themselves.

The phases of Inactivity are:

• Phase 0 (Hour 0 to Hour 24, sorting the fun registrations out, no long time inactivity): If you do not build anything in the 24 hours after registration, you get deleted.

• Phase 1 (1 week to 2 weeks after registration ): You become inactive after 2 days with no login, you get ghosted 2 days later.

• Phase 2 (Week 2 until 1 Month): You become inactive after 7 days with no login, you get ghosted 4 days later.

• Phase 3 (1 Month until 3 Months): You become inactive after 7 days with no login, you get ghosted 14 days later

• Phase 4 (3 Month until end of times): You become inactive after 7 days with no login, you get ghosted 30 days later.

Ghosting now means that they are transferred to the Asphodel servers. The more current term is Graveyarded.

It does when banned. It takes 7 days to go inactive 30 days to ghost, but once you ghost your account on the original server is banned and goes into vmode for 7 days before it's deleted.

Please do. I feel like it'd be very informative.

While I know the merge was a while ago, I'm working on winding down operations to graveyard to the correct server to continue this challenge.

Quote from Iman_Oldie

I'm guessing this is legal, but it isn't in the spirit of the game IMHO.

I'd like to build here, but four towns are L1 and not building or contributing to the mines.

Is there any point in reporting this or do I just put up with it and go on vacation like many others are after the recent merge?

Display More

There's nothing more in the spirit of the game than blocking spots for your alliance mates to take later.

I understand it's inconvenient, but there's nothing against the rules.

The game is simply FCFS and there's no rule that you have to do anything if you have an island slot.

No.

You sound about as smug as your profile picture bro.

But why No, why not Yes? that is the question

Because the way to stop a pirate attack is to have more strength than the person attacking you.

You need to contact support.

I started an upgrade in the workshop (160-180 for tradeships), before the merge. the merge apparently made the in-process upgrade evaporate.

Am I just out the over 2.4 million crystal? or can a ticket resolve it?

Quote from badidol

Should I have a lot of big fleet movements, upgrades, etc. running when starting a merge?

No, as with every transfer (and maintenances as well btw), running events will often be cancelled and then the invested resources might be gone.

That's why we keep saying not to have bigger events running before a maintenance or a transfer. As a few players seem to have not remembered this for the merge, here's your reminder.

sigh. oh well.

didn't see that.

thank you for the information .

V17: Fixed an issue which caused ongoing Workshop upgrades to be cancelled during an account transfer.

It's too late for your issue, but at least you know it'll be fixed in the future.

Also badidol, thank you helping get the bug fixed.

This has a 30d cooldown.

Much quicker than graveyarding, and you do need time for your donations to take effect.

Graveyarding is 37d and this is 30d so there is a minor advantage, but it's also a paid transfer versus something free.

This has a 30d cooldown.

Quote from IM_Mike

Or graveyarding the account by inactivity. I believe you can then pick the server?

I'm not 100% sure as I've never tried it myself.

While the merge is going on the new servers are not available to the Graveyard!

Only the servers that were opened on February 20 are visible, since they are not being shut down nor being merged into.

Sure, but if he starts graveyarding today, by the time the 37d timer is up the merge will be over.

As long as they're all part of the same lobby account.

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 thought premium increased the amount of messages / 5 minutes.

https://ikariam-resource-planner.vercel.app/ is the most comprehensive I've seen.

Thanks!

Some of the Workshop upgrade values don’t seem to match what I see in-game though.

Which? What level is the optician in the town you're at?

Display More

All of them, actually. The crystal costs seem correct and match the site, but the gold costs don’t match what I see in-game.

It looks like there's been an update. I checked all of my upgrades and everything matched.

Hi,

Is there a complete table with upgrade costs per level (gold & crystal)?

It's 100% true; it's just business.

I have 1M points (played for around 175 days) and was in the top 30, but now I have been moved to another server where I am in the top 3,000, with some other players with 40M points etc.

There is practically no chance of survival.

Thanks for the game — no more questions regarding whether I should continue to be part of Ikariam. It looks like they just don't want you there :))

It's just a fun story, no stress. Everybody is aware of this, but it's so funny when someone in this case is talking about compromise... with whom, with "death"?

Display More

There's plenty of ways to survive. It's called diplomacy. Most players with a decent score realize if they pillage everyone to death that then they have no one to play the game with. If you find someone unreasonable, you simply GY and merge back on a server on your own terms. Even The crow was talking about how peaceful en server 2 is now.

Diplomacy left the chat.

Now the Billions of Army and Gold are talking.

Then graveyard to a different server.

Thats your solution to anything isnt it? Think our 220 members would all do the same thing? lol, give it up,people dont play this game to do crap like that just because GF cant figure out how to stop the cheating. A good percentage of our members could write the code that catches illegal multies.

Display More

It's a valid solution and strategy. It's not up to you to convince your 220 members to do it, it's up to you to make the decision on whether or not you don't want to play on your current server anymore and want to play on a different server.

Again, what is your criteria? How do you know? The fact that you can't even see the IP addresses of the accounts you suspect is a pretty big hint that you wouldn't be able to find any illegal multis. At best you'd be able to try to flag behaviors, but all that does is end up causing a ton of appeals saying that they aren't illegal multis and it's hard to determine if they are or aren't. Again, everyone thinks it's so easy to solve these problems, but it's actually really hard because it's a demand side problem and every game suffers from it (unless it's a single player game).
