They merged us with Arab and Turkey players, and from what I've seem, those players are cheaters who also abuse tons of cheap ambrosia.

Since I've been to Turkey, I know people there are underpaid, I also know the food is cheap, transport is cheap, mobile data is insanely expensive, museums have high 80 euro tax for tourists and as a native you can go for free or way cheaper. You are using pirated software and watch movies from torrents for free, your homes are modern and your cars are brand new SUVs. Most people on the streets tried to sell me something or lead me to their shop.

As for Germany, I've been to Bavaria, prices there were squeezing me like a bug, food was in much smaller quantity, at first I thought I'd starve to death, homes are mainly modern houses and cars are brand new sport cars or sedans. A lot of fines, a lot of regulations and a lot of restriction of freedom and everything is taxed in ways it should not be.

Turkey was easier life, less effort. While Germany is set only for people who work a lot.

So the imbalance comes when the marketplace is global and Turkey people have to pay a lot more income for the same things from the global market that Germans have - computers, phones, cars (tech manufactured elsewhere). It is way easier for a German kid to buy new gaming PC each year, that is a fact.

So imagine what happens when a player with German Salary buys from the Turkey shop ambrosia.

the legal minimum salary in turkey 22000₺ (~504€) and

the rent for a liveable house 15000₺ (~344€)

gas, water, internet, mobile data, electric 1500₺ (~35€)

2 meal per person (only eat chicken wrap): 240₺ x 30 days = 7200₺ (~165₺)

automobiles? buying a house? (are only dreams for an ordinary citizen)

so lets calculate: 504 - 344 - 35 - 165 = -40€

ikariam 5000 ambrosia = 900₺ (21€)

lets talk about equality and justice right???

so as you say the regular citizens should not play this game. becaus "This game should be priced according to the European exchange rate" =))

and by the way, if you like turkey so much, welcome home.

immediately start living in bağcılar or esenyurt in istanbul. but you will earn money and spend money in turkish standarts =)) I am sure 3 months later you will run back your hometown by crying...

hopefully, mathematics makes clear about purchasing power differences between countries...

Those numbers are almost same in Serbia and probably in other Balkan countries (some are even worse) and still 5000 ambrosia is 200e

So I really would like to hear more about equality and justice

Prices should be same for everyone if we play on same servers...

no!

price is need to be adjusted based on every countries' purchasing power.

Quote from ConteMarlo

no need. I will do the same as you do.

I will travel a cheaper country and feel myself very rich =)) then I will come back home. I will write a post about "why they buy cheaper ambrosia" in forum by crying...

Turkish minimal salary is ₺22,104 per month (504 Euro / month)

Bulgarian Minimal salary is still 933lv even tho they promised a rise, it will happen mid summer or later.
But say it is 1077 as promised, that is 535 euro

So yeah we are almost the same minimal salary but you guys pay 21 Euro for 5100 amro while I pay HALF MY MONTHLY SALARY for as much.


You are so privileged in this game (and other digital goods), yet you have no idea.

P.S. Yes 5k Ambro costed 2x month salary in the past, pricing was THAT high for us, always. I started working for 75 euro / month at my first job and Ambro was 3x as much XD

then the problem will no be solved if the ambrosia price is same as germans' price.

the price should be localized based on their purchasing power!

as I said, if you think turkish people have advantages, welcome home buddy. you need to take off your glasses that see the world in a pink color =))

no need. I will do the same as you do.

Flying to Turkey costs me 35 euro and takes an hour.
I can spend my day there and get back home in the evening.

And it still be cheaper than renting a place there. My last visit cost me 14-15k ₺, two people, 1 week.


I totally forgot to buy steam games, ikariam ambrosia and spotify sub and discord nitro....next time!

Quote from shirokenyasha

Dear Ikariam Team,

I am writing to highlight a major problem that is affecting the competitive integrity of the game, especially on international war servers where players from all over the world are matched together.

The issue lies in the regional pricing of Ambrosia. For example, in Turkey, players can legally purchase 1,000 Ambrosia for about €6.50, while the same amount costs €49.99 in the EU. This is not about abuse or rule-breaking—Turkish players are playing within the rules—but the imbalance becomes a serious problem on mixed servers where Ambrosia offers huge advantages.

On war servers, where competition is intense and Ambrosia affects military strength, cooldowns, resource boosts, and construction speed, this regional price gap creates a pay-to-win environment that favors players from cheaper regions. Players from higher-price regions are at a constant disadvantage, even if they invest significant amounts of money into the game.

This damages the fairness of the game and discourages many players who want to compete on equal footing.

I respectfully ask the Ikariam team to consider:

1. Separating war servers by region, so players compete under the same conditions;

2. Or, adjusting Ambrosia effectiveness or access across regions on global servers;

3. Or at least, acknowledging the issue publicly and explaining if any steps are being considered.

We love the game and the strategy it offers, but fairness is the foundation of any competitive experience. Right now, this pricing model breaks that foundation.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

kim bunu yapan ben de phobostayım kullanıcı adı nedir

dostum google'a ikariam destek yazıp kendi mailinle oraya kaydol ve ticket aç lütfen. adminler bu konuda çok sert. ekran görüntülerini yolla ve mesajlarını da şikayet et. sonrası güzel bi ban yerler akılları başlarına gelir.

yeni güncellemeyle gelen birim yükseltmeleri maalesef bi işe yaramıyor. herkeste durum böyle mi?

dostlar selamlar,

yapılan güncellemeden sonra phobos serverında önceden full mucitli olan bi arkadaşım tüm gemi birimlerini +2 seviye daha mucitlemesine rağmen full mucitli ama henüz yeni seviye atlatmamış biriyle savaşa girince aynı oranda kayıp verdiğini söyledi.

sebebini bilen var mı? henüz savaş alanına yapılan güncellemeler yansımamış olabilir mi

you can reset mobile data settings from the phone settings

do you use google chrome?

if yes, go to app settings and clear cache.

-> if it doesnt solve, I would delete the app and download it again.

Quote from Lili

They should just remake the app.

mobile data makes endless puzzles that NEVER EVER EVER let me in the game.

I think with these settins, you will be able to play easily

I have heard that 60 tender will decrease the number of losses. Is that true?
