Just started playing this Friday. It’s a browser based RTS in a continuous world (ie you go to bed and your town is still active). The build pace is slow but it’s perfect for the type of game you can casually play. You can make alliances, build ships, attack neighboring towns and islands, and so forth. It’s currently in the beta stages but so far things are working relatively smoothly.
If any of you guys join up, I’m in the Gamma world. Coordinates 22:72. Town name: Mulchy Glennis.
I can’t stop playing it. The slow pace makes it something you can walk by your computer and spend 5-10 minutes at a time on to get your town rolling. TRY IT OUT OK
Anyone else playing this? I’m building an embassy, which means I can create the JB Alliance! So far, only Javatank and I are working hard at conquering this SQL database ancient greek world! Someone else join up so we can secure an entire island and pillage all the local noobs.
I joined and didn’t play for a few days and they sent me this email…
Hallo xterm,
your citizens from world Gamma are running around since 2 days, not knowing what to do!
Hoping for a sign from you, they have now gathered in front of the town hall, instead of working.
So come back to http://ikariam.com and give your citizens the advice they need!
Yeah they do that to discourage having a lot of inactive towns clogging up the islands and to keep people from creating a town just to farm resources with no effort. Eventually they get rid of the town but I’m not sure how long you have to be inactive for before they do that.
Click on the trading port in the town you want to ship resources from. Then click on your other city name under “send out trade ship”.
How are the rest of you fools doing? The Alliance needs your support (and also a better name). First person to think of a good name gets the rank of general!
