Anyone play Ikariam?

[exarkun1178]

let me know if you need anything...

[exarkun1178]

ok..ok... whos got the town "exige"

[Timmah]

I have no idea.

Just founded a new colony.
Capital- Buckeye Nation 49:29 (crystal)
town- Buckeye Grove 49:31 (sulfur)

[exarkun1178]

nice.


note, the most valuable goods are grapes they sell for the most $$$

then marble

then glass

least valuable is sulfur.

id suggest.

if you start on a grape---firsy colony should be marble.

if you start on any other type, first colony should be grapes

When would you suggest founding your first colony? As soon as you can, or should you save up quite a bit first? And does your research carry over, or do you need to restart it all over again in the new colony?

[Mr. Know]

I'm on grape...as soon as I can, there will be trade agreements.

i would suggest as soon as you can. i waited a bit. by waiting all i did was loose time on things.

the research is nice in that ..every scientist is working on the same thing. so if you have one research place at level ten with 63 guys studying, and to go to level 11 is 1000 glass, and 1700 wood... or you start your new colony with research and for the same amount of scientist its only 60 wood... either one has same overall effect on research, it just way cheaper...

if any of you guys have (i) inactive you would like to share, please...

i guess i lucked out, i'm on grape too

[dfa2100]

32:58 has one, but it's a size 24 town so I've been staying away.

whenever i log on it sucks out all the internet from my computer, literally. No pages will load AT ALL. Still trying to figure it out

really? i dont have that at all..... heck most of the time im plaing through dial up off my blackberry and im good for a few windows

[Timmah]

I was going to found an alliance. Anyone interested?

[exarkun1178]

im part of a larger one if you like to join it, if youd rather try a lotus one, im ok with that, but id be afraid it would not be very large..

[serpent]

i still havent come around to checking this game out....sooooon, very sooon

[Timmah]

Well I thought it would be a LT one. The problem with large alliances(from other games I've played) is that they never really work together. We're all in the same server and most of us are in the same general area on the map without being too close to one another. I thought it might work for us.

[dfa2100]

I'll join. Just managed to get my first embassy tonight, I'll upgrade it to the level I need for alliances tomorrow. I would also like to announce my first colony has been founded, named Synonym. Gotta have my wine.

Antonym 30:57 - Marble
Synonym 31:56 - Grapes

[exarkun1178]

let me know when you set it up...

[Timmah]

OK,

I was thinking of the tag
=LT=

but I'm unsure about the name. The easy route would be to call it LotusTalk.com but I don't know (depending on how hardcore you guys want to get) if we want other teams knowing where we post information about our team.
