  • Account Transfer Ban and Player Dissatisfaction / Community Protest

    Quote from UMBRA

    I am not sure this is true though. So you are saying that you cannot transfer an account from a Turkish server to another country`s server?

    Yes, that is the new announcement weā€™ve received. An update is coming, and we will no longer be able to transfer from TĆ¼rkiye servers to any other server. Likewise, players from other countries won't be able to transfer to our servers. No exact date has been given yet.

    Why though? lol


    And where did the announcement come from?

  • Account Transfer Ban and Player Dissatisfaction / Community Protest

    > * The removal of donation codes, weakening guild solidarity,

    > * Increasing the black market troop selling time to 48 and now 72 hours, making the game flow nearly impossible,



    These two literally block the ways how many people in TR community used to gain advantage over others and abuse the system.



    > * And last but not least, the ban on transferring accounts from Turkish servers abroad.

    Not really though. Your suggestion is too rewarding for defender; my counter simply adds cost to the attacker without overrewarding a defender.

  • How to "kill" a player

    Well, you cannot completely neutralize him. Keeping him blocked and occupied could severe his gameplay a lot BUT he can still function in other ways, especially if he uses Ambrosia.


    My advice for your long term well being is, finalize the argument diplomatically and move on. There is little to nothing for you to gain out of such campaign.

    Quote from Luky

    Knowing that you might lose something during your attacks, I reckon many people would be more careful about how they moveā€¦ and this could encourage new players to join, even those who arenā€™t part of an organised group

    Losing crew would make far more sense than being rewarded with points while playing the defensive side.


    That will also force your attacker into spending points, so losing them in some sense, because if they lost a battle and their crew got weaker, they will have to spend their points and rebuild the crew.

    Fairness of the piracy and its practical reality (as in how people actually win) is a different subject.

    Your proposal would not really fix that. You will still be a non-significant factor to those who farm points off their friends or whatever, their crews will still be hard to beat.


    The problem with your concept IMO is that it offensively rewards someone who is defensive and that should not be the case.

    You win if you initiate aka attack and that is the only way it makes sense.

  • pirates: change to the game system

    That would be equivalent to saying if someone launches a pillage mission against you and lose, you should loot their resources, even though they are in their warehouses and you did not visit their cities.


    Prize of a successful attack are capture points.

    Prize of a successful defense is retention of those points.


    Those who initiate and those who sit back should not be entitled to same reward.

  • STYX - Looking for alliance to join

    Hello everyone, I play as UMBRA in game and my account ended up on STYX server after the last merger. I have played Ikariam since 2009 and I pretty much know and understand the game very well from both town development and combat perspective.


    I hate playing on my own and I am looking for alliance to join. I have dropped some messages around but I so far have not heard back from more than just a few people.

    Are there any alliances out there that would take me in? ^^


    Feel free to comment here and ask anything you would like to know or drop me a PM.
