We have a lot of guys getting the same bug. I cant even get 2 rounds in and troops come back and battle is lost. According to discord lots of people are experiencing this bug.

Unless you face someone with submarines at level 15+ defence, then all your dreams will be over.
Attack is essential in some cases as well.
As I said to another group, one-shot rockets that die instantly, despite your carriers' attack, are one thing, but facing submarines with strong defence is a completely different story. They won’t go down easily to your carriers, even if your carriers have level 10 damage and 25 def.
You should play the game.
For real, subs are expensive and get melted with 22+ speedy ships and 6 carriers.
Melted.
I did obliterate over 100 Submarines in 5minutes, they die like flies.We had a big discussion about subs with some of the top fighters and remember they are defensive and not offensive. With the right amount of proper upgrades They can work very well and especially against waves. It's too complicated to explain it all here but when waved in a big battle they can be very effective.
what would the proper upgrades be in your opinion?
thnaks in advance
Viking puts out a lot of youtube vids about ikariam.
Heres troops.

They won't, it's just a matter
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"?
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.

Any chance for someone that made the wrong choose of the new server to switch?
Not without paying for ambro but getting to a safe server may be worth it and at least you can play the game as it was intended.

That's probably what I'll be forced to do, go on vacation until hopefully I get more CTs filled.
BTW. I'm completely legal with IP Sharing and because I have so many accounts I help to keep the game alive. I've spent thousands of dollars on Ambrosia over the past 15 odd years.
This is something also that have been bypassed. 15 accounts with no IP shared. All of them are working under one person.
The merge showed us some tricks that they are using long time.
Some have 40 and 50 multis. They also use bots and scripts.
it's getting bad when they openly brag about it.
Some guys get more points in 6 months then an honest player gets in 10 years.

I am wondering how new players will survive in these servers, when the 120 Million's is attacking until you get in vacations or leave it.
There aren't restrictions.
They won't, it's just a matter

Thats because we tricked the bullies into thinking we were going to server 4 on discord where most alliances are and discussing this.. They are there right now putting everyone in v.mode. They start with the smaller alliances and work up. Some of these guys have 40 multis and most use scripts from hiesenberg discord and gameforge knows it but dont seem to care.

Is anyone else having trouble filling Cultural Goods requests?
Over my 8 accounts I have well over 1000 requests pending and I've even asked players that are supposed to be online.
Needless to say, once the Festival of Worlds ends and we don't get 1000 satisfaction, I'll be running out of wine.
Gameforge does not realize some guys have dozens and dozens of multis used for piracy and other nefarious purposes like gold and resources. We have 220 members in my alliance and im also full finally but what a lot of work. try going to the high score and working down from the top as those are players who are actually playing the game.

I moved to server 3 Erida, so far only 1500 players have moved to the server, with at least half of them being bots. Does this mean that server will remain with so few players?
Should have went to 2. You can waterski behind the cargo ships. Not many bully's here either. I think a lot of guys came here for a vacation and to sit on the beach and build like crazy.

It doesn't usually hinder me, if it's not developed, you can take it down to a 1/99% ratio. On land, you shoot it out of the air, then grind it down with steam giants. At sea, you throw out the third line, doesont matter if it 6,000 rockets or even more. You can shark all them one night.. In the morning they are interesting afterwards, the enemy always runs and dont one to fight with you.
Man you sure dont want to ever fight my alliance. Steam giants. hahahaha bring em on.
If you use sharks and shoot your enemies out off the air line. Why would you use hoplites if you don't throw a single unit into the front row?
In short, I didn't say that I don't use hoplites. I described a simple tactic that you can use to grind them down. It's pointless to explain anything about the mechanics of the game and when to use which unit, for those who are hysterical on the forum and don't thinking, you only see your enemy how much money spent and they are "unbeateable". Learn a little, spend your time how to fight, maybe you will realize that the big Mastercard warriors can be easily beat it. You just need to think a little.
i'm not a mastercard warrior. Fighting for over a decade,i learned a few things.
They are the reason you are hysterical on the forum. I didn't say you are, or that I am. I use Ambro like everyone else, there is no other way to improve it.
Those who run around with millions of general points, there is no point in approaching things in only one way. I wrote a few simple things, you just have to use them and click a lot.
That's it... if you don't understand, I can't help you. Read, learn. Find someone who understands what I wrote and learn from them. Use sharks, mark the route, uprage the carrier's defenses.
If you throw 8,000-10,000 rocket in one night, you will be good. You can believe it hurts them.
Its only +6 hour
15 sec 1 shark
They are not unbeatable either...
Writing is always easier than thinking..Speeds offence more priority then carrier defense. Not my first rodeo bud. I'm just pointing out new players dont stand a chance.

The merge went ok for us, except with 204 members and active war a lot of people stopped reading the circs and did not even know there was a merge but they are slowly figuring it out and filtering in. I think gameforge should have posted a few more announcements then they did IMO.
We took the server our enemies didnt and I feel sorry for 2 and 4 as they will have to now deal with guys with dozens of multis,scripts,and Turkish Ambro.
They attack the smallest players first and have huge upgrades so i dont see those servers lasting longer then a year.
If you can't communicate effectively within your internal alliance, I'm at a loss, that's your own internal communication problem and not GF. Yep, some people will always be oblivious, but that's on them.
I look forward to your complaints about server 3; I'm sure you'll find plenty of people with Turkish ambro, "multis" and "scripts" there, too. Just give it a few days.
And really, your opponents looked reasonable. They simply wanted 100k MS to end hostilities. That's a reasonable ask.
No complaints,we got to a different server then the phlv cheats and they are proceeding to take down server 4. I give that server a month before everyones in v.mode or inactive. You cant beat cheats when GF does absolutely nothing to stop it.

Play on smaller battlefields. I’ve realised that fighting on smaller battlefields, actually reduces/removes the advantage of upgrades
I have strong army upgrades, so trust me I wouldn’t farm someone with 80k generals with troops. The mindset should always be to gain more, not to lose.
Unless you’re just chasing attacking points, most players rely heavily on their navy anyway.
Who is realistically going to attack you when you have 15k hoplites, 13k swordsmen, 7k gyrocopters, etc.? That’s just crazy.
Lili's suggestions are also greatThe enemy on our islands have about 10 times more troops then that in 10 towns. You can safely sleep knowing they cant put a dent in your troops. But thats why 4 of us are in the top 10 offence score. Try 50.000 ships and guys with half a million gens and a billion gold.

Carrier/speed waves still work.
This depends upon upgrade levels. I've gone against players with high upgrade levels where those waves have had no effect.

Oh they work. For carriers upgrade defence and for speeds offence. I think we waved over 700 rockets one night when the enemy was sleeping.
If you send 6 carriers, 30 speeds and a ram and you see 37 ships missing after they hit then you need upgrade the speeds for sure. For land battles upgrade levels are different for every troop if more then one is fighting and i cant find the list i had made But i have an older one you can use for a guide.
Ohhh, it was you (the crow)back in May, if I remember correctly, you were advising people to upgrade speedboats and mortals in defence because your allies said it was right. Man, I’ve spent so much crystal for nothing.
Anyway, it’s my fault for listening. Then common sense kicked in and I stopped before wasting millions more.
Sending bombs to players where the third line has defence, while your carriers aren’t properly upgraded don’t expect to see many casualties.
Anyway guys, can someone explain this to me… why do I see so many players without submarine upgrades? Is there any reason for that?
How are you supposed to counter an enemy with 36 flames while you’re sending rockets?
And why invest in rockets defence? Lol.
Why????
Sorry but I cant think of any reason players not playing with subs like in the past
Edit The crow
You said--->
If you send 6 carriers, 30 speeds and a ram and you see 37 ships missing after they hit then you need upgrade the speeds for sure.
In reality if you send 6 carrier 30 speeds and 1 ram 36 will be missing, the ram will be dead.
Sometimes depends the level of the enemy balloons you may see 35 missing as you might have 1 balloon casualtie
HOW YOU CAN CHECK if your BOMBS were effective from the def points of the enemy and your attacking points and sometimes if you have 1 balloon casualtie thats a good indication
OBVIOUSLY dont send 30 speedboat with 1 ram..they will die ...maybe that the only reason foe someone to upgrade the speedboat in def..silly if you ask me
Sorry I had to correct you buddy
if only 37 are missing means you killed nothing. I thought that was quite evident in my post.

Közzéteszek pár cr-t, amik bemutatják, hogy a korlátlan fejlesztések hogyan teszik játszhatatlanná ezt a játékot.
[csatolás='138699','nincs','hamis'][/csatolás]
Az enyémek 15-ösek és változnak, ez becsületes játékot jelent, és az ambrót üvegcserére használom. Először is, ennek a srácnak 5300 tendere van, korlátlan aranya és generátora az illegális multiplayerek miatt.
[attach='138700','nincs','igaz'][/attach]
Ez az ellenfĂ©l hamisĂtatlan. A gĹ‘zei 16 Ă©s 17.
Ez a játék régen szórakoztató volt, évekig a top 5 támadó pontszámú játékosok között voltam, néha egész éjjel harcoltam, de igazságos volt, és ügyességre volt szükség. Most már nincs szükség ügyességre. Valaki magyarázza el nekem, hogy a korlátlan fejlesztések hogyan tehették ezt jobb játékká.
Badidol, magyarázd el, hogy ez miben jobb, mintha egy 9 éves lennék.
Nem tudod legyőzni ezeket a csaló srácokat, és ne mondd, hogy nem csalnak, mert mi öregek tudjuk, hogyan csinálják, te pedig igen, mert nem vagy hülye.
Heisenberg szkripteket és botokat, Badidolt és tudod, hogy pont úgy használják őket, mint az összes régi játékgépezőt.
Ez a 10. kör.
[attach='138701','nincs','igaz'][/attach]
[attach='138702','nincs','igaz'][/attach]
A korlátlan fejlesztĂ©sek az utolsĂł szög a koporsĂłban, Ă©s egy kĂ©tsĂ©gbeesett kĂsĂ©rlet a GF számára, hogy pĂ©nzt keressen AmbrĂłn.
Kész vagyok, a játék játszhatatlan.

Display MoreI'll post a few cr's that show how unlimited upgrades make this game unplayable.
Mine are 15 and change and that's playing honestly and using ambro to change for glass. For starters this guy has 5300 tenders, unlimited gold and gens because of illegal multi's.
This opponent is unforged.His steams are 16 and 17
This game used to be fun, I have been in top 5 offence scores for years fighting, sometimes all night but it was fair and skill was needed. There is no skill needed now. Someone please explain to me how unlimited upgrades made this a better game.
Badidol ,explain how this is better like I'm a 9 year old.
You can not beat these guys that cheat and dont say they dont because us old timers know how they do it and you do to because you are not dumb.
Heisenberg scripts and bots Badidol and you know they are being used just like all the old timers playing do.
This is round 10.
The unlimited upgrades are the final nail in the coffin and a desperate attempt for GF to make money off Ambro.
I am done,the game is unplayable.
I've fought thousands of sea and land battles since the update came out. It was clear from the very beginning that you need to increase your storage capacity and invest in upgrades if you want to fight. Not in palaces, governors...
Upgrades are important, there are a lot of upgrades that are useless and pointless.
If you don't invest in upgrades, just keep building, don't be surprised if you don't have a chance to fight on the front. This is not the difference caused by the previously shared tender. This is the difference caused by poorly invested resources....
The enemy is not at high levels at all.. I usually fight with 100-120k general points, I'm much more advanced than him, not with mastercard..
You miss one critical point, normal players already dag and invested their spare 20~40mil crystal in upgrades, while multies and richlings invested over 1 BILLION crystal in upgrades, therefor your point is really super valid, yet not possible for an ordinary player to achieve anyway.
Ikariam is the epitome of bad balanced game.
P.S. shhh don't say anything about gold, please, it is magical and comes from thin air.Yes,they really did make this game unplayable for honest players.
