Come to the changed ancient world and see for yourself! The new design is now available in many countries. Your Ikariam Team
a few weeks ago, when my husband the mayer was called to help with the renovation on our cities, I promised that you would be able to access our international test server and get the opportunity to have a preview at our new islands and cities.
My husband just informed me that on Thursday, April 19th 2012, in the morning, the test server will be updated to our newest version and you'll be able to explore our "new world".
He also had an information for our players currently playing with Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 7 support will be discontinued starting with this new version. It brings too many problems and only a few players are still using it. We are also experiencing problems related to Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 9 that will only be adressed by Microsoft in Version 10. Therefore, for the best experience, we strongly recommend using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Apple Safari in the newest available version. My husband promised he would continue to send drawings until the release on the test server. He will also communicate a list of all changes made in this version
The sundial at the marketplace has confirmed it! The countdown to Happy Hour has started. Secure a bonus of 20 percent when you purchase Ambrosia - available today (March 19th).
The -20% Happy Hour will start at:
19:30 server time for all European and Middle East countries
The end of the year 2011 is closing in and the time has come that we'd like to give you a sneak preview on what you should expect in the first quarter of 2012 in Ikariam.
The world of Ikariam will shine brightly in a whole new layout in 2012. This fresh new layout will allow you to experience the world of Ikariam in full screen mode. It also provides us with a lot of new possibilities concerning the cities, thus allowing us to promise you 2 new building slots for each city already. And there is yet much more to come!
In 2012 Ikariam will be going mobile. We're currently working on a special Ikariam version, especially meant to be used with mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets which will allow you to access your empires from everywhere, the sofa, the beach or on the bus. This mobile version requires us to know your wishes, thoughts and ideas for said version which is why we have created a survey for you so you can let us know about them.
Players that have not researched bureaucracy can transport 8,000
goods in or out of an occupied town per day. The amount is valid per
occupied per town and not per game account.
If a town is occupied, it is not possible to transport goods out of
the town over land without smuggling. Transport by sea is still
possible.
If a port is occupied, it is not possible to transport goods out of the town by sea. Transport over land is still possible.
If a town and port is under foreign control, goods transportation without smuggling is not possible.
Feature - sea fight changes
From now on sea fights also have similar unit types to ground
fights. The additional ship types can be distributed between the close
combat, long-range combat, flanks, first strike, carrier ship and
carrier ship evasion slots. With this change similar tactics to the
ground fights are available to you.
Four new ship types are available for this: rocket ship, paddle
speedboat, balloon carrier and tender. To build them, some new
technologies will have to be researched.
The values of already existing ship types have been partially changed. Buildings costs and upkeep have also been adjusted.
Feature - alliance forum extended
The topics each receive a 'last changed' field, in which the date
and time is listed. Additionally, unread topics and threads are
highlighted.
When composing a new forum entry, the number of possible characters is displayed.
Feature - town relocation change
If a relocation cannot be carried out, the reason is now displayed in a message box.
Feature - the town advisor now informs about the allocation of the daily bonus
The test server (http://test.ikariam.org)
has been updated with a new version 0.4.x, that has the new sea
fight and the new ships. Other functions of 0.4.5 are not fully
implemented yet in the version put onilne on the test server, we want to
give you the opportunity to test the ships extensively.
Ikariam 0.4.3 is starting this week! Please note that when the game gets updated to version 0.4.3, all military activities (combats, occupations) as well as all transporting/trading activities will be cancelled.
Everything is going to be sent home automatically. In order to avoid problems during the update, we would like to invite you to prepare yourself for not having too many activities involving ships/units running when the update comes.
Should you have transports involving Ambrosia active at that time (mercenary ships, triton jets), you will get the ambrosia back on the "beaming" home.
Any unit "beamed back home" during the update might need up to an hour to be available again for new missions.
