Remember Ikariam?

A long time ago, we had a Halfpixel Ikariam guild. About 20 or so of us played.
Then the game got old for many and they left, leaving about 5 of us.
Then, since we had been playing so long, we all got invited to the biggest guild on the server, Titans.

The game has changed considerably since then.

Today, we have just finished the biggest battle ever on that server, 540 turns (5.675 days!)
I joined in at around round 9 I think, so I don't have the full battle stats, but it was glorious :)

(posting a pic so that people who used to play can see how much the battle mechanics have changed)
 
Yeah, I remember getting a huge fleet and farming the shit out of my neighbors and pissing off the more powerful ones by hiding my stuff on ships when they came for retribution. Good times.
 
Short answer: they changed the battle system, it's no longer who can deal more damage points, you need some strategy in what units you have or send, because your units get divided into "platoons" that want to stand in certain places in the battlefield, siege units in front, ranged units behind, swords/spears on the side, flying units overhead. If you don't send the right combination of units, your weaker units could be standing on the front lines and die quickly.
 
It was a bit boring, unless you liked resource gathering, as I never got into any major fights, I tended to go after players without alliances. Now it's getting interesting as large alliances are seeing members battling other alliances, then joining in.
 
Right, I remember using .com for another forum's alliance now. I'll see how quickly I can get a good settlement going.
