[19:51]

btw.. I cannot reply to message atm because I am at work and used my home email to verify... so I have to wait to get home to do that and it will not allow me to send messages til I get that done

Depends on what kind of island you are on.

Krys liked to lecture people about "food is powa" in Civ3. I think that growth is power in Ikariam.

Dope your people up with booze. Build as much museums and sign as much cultural treaties as you can. The happiness boost is for free. Focus on the necessary tech. Beline for wine press.


If you are on a peaceful island, neglect building of a standing army. Only islanders can attack you without blocking your harbor first. Build a few ballista ships to fend off overeager guys looking for easy targets. Keep your warehouse at a decent level.

While attacking, troops and ships cost double upkeep. War ships are much slower than trade ships. If a raid costs more than it harvests, the raiders are pwnd.

Where are you, smalltalk?

Matrix.. you have some fairly large towns on your island.. and sulpher.. just what every budding civilization needs :P

If there are going to be at least 4 of us lurking here maybe we could open a sub forum for the game similar to what HT has.. a Quick answer/trades/war threads might be useful eventually

Starter kit sent to both of you.

ETA to Mistfit is like 15 hours. Cough.
