I have the wine reduction buildings in each town and they seem to help. I had to upgrade taverns too though, the wine demand is crazy now. Thankfully that +wine production building gives me something like 715 an hour.

**sabby** · 01-27-2009, 07:22 AM

I was going to go with those but you only get a 1% reduction per level so I decided on the forester house which gives me 2% extra building material per level.

**Dudebro** · 01-27-2009, 09:24 PM

My highest wine reduction building is 20 and it gives a -21% per hour. Not sure how it's calculated but 21% reduction in demand is cool.

I'm considering getting rid of my workshops in all but one colony and replacing them with the Wine Cellars.

Good move?

Also, I've been using the vacant space to increase my resource production on each island. Seems to be working well so far.

yeah I would agree with who ever said it before (think it was tanc or sabby)

that the archetecs office is pretty useless to cut the cost of marble

its great for a new colony that you are just starting but for one that is already build like most of ours

its a waist of mabrle to up grade it because it does not affect marble costs that much only by 18% or so at level 16

**Kong** · 01-28-2009, 01:26 PM

All of the new buildings suck.

I am getting rid of most of all but one of my research buildings for extra spots.

Is there any reason (points?) to upgrade all troops in the workshop or should you just upgrade the ones you use?

**sabby** · 01-28-2009, 02:01 PM

I noticed that crystal use is way down now. The only use is for the following things: Palaces/GR, Academies, Research buyouts, Workshop upgrades, Doctors, and Subs.

It may have been a waste, but I have all the upgrades finished now I'm going to have a major supply of crystal.

The added production buildings are working well for me (I have them at level 10 which gives me an extra 20% production).

As for the Wine Cellars, I recommend not, but Dudebro likes them, so I think its really up to you.

**oasis** · 01-28-2009, 02:47 PM

wine cellers seem helpfull because if you have a wine production + on your wine islands you could in theory have more wine because the other towns are useing less per hour and you are gaining more per hour so it would be like adding an extra 1% per hour for each level to the production of your wine because you use 1% less

and that makes no sence but I think you get my point

**david man45** · 01-28-2009, 05:04 PM

@Kong, I think you get points for upgrading in the workshop.

**Dudebro** · 01-28-2009, 08:49 PM

I deleted all my workshops except on my crystal island to make room for -wine reduction costs buildings. I like them since I use less wine to keep people happy. I also have the +resource buildings and I like them too.

Btw Oasis, I figure architect office is good for higher level towns since it takes off a percent. I noticed on my capped buildings(museum) it takes off like 4-5k marble on level 10-12(I forget since I deleted it).

And yeah, with -wine costs per city and +wine production I'm making alot more wine than preupdate(and I was always hurting for wine before).

To me the new buildings are just giving people more options, which is a good thing.

**Squall** · 01-31-2009, 05:20 PM

im able to play this on wii, but unfortunatly THEY DELETED MY GAME!

i started a new one, but it dumped me on a - you guessed it - sulphur island. i'll get my co-ords soon, other than that it may take me a (long) while to catch up again, and i might just ignore the last 100 pages or so since my last post to save time

sucks to have your game deleted...

**count100** · 01-31-2009, 05:34 PM

Actually Squall from what I have been hearing the sulphur is in high demand right now so that may not be so bad.

**Dudebro** · 01-31-2009, 08:49 PM

Yeah crystal is the low price resource atm where I am. People selling 20k for like 20 gold.

**count100** · 01-31-2009, 08:59 PM

Is it good to get a second marble island cause I am thinking of expanding out that way I have 2 marble island cause I am seeming to use alot more of that then anything really.

**Dudebro** · 01-31-2009, 10:14 PM

Yeah I have two marble and I like it a lot. I'm able to fund all my buildings without buying marble.

**david man45** · 01-31-2009, 10:23 PM

I quit playing.

**Squall** · 02-01-2009, 02:59 PM

what the hell was the point in posting that dave

**david man45** · 02-01-2009, 05:47 PM

To let everyone know im not going to be active in Ikariam anymore..... Whats your problem?

**Dudebro** · 02-01-2009, 07:31 PM

Well if you're not 100% sure Davidman you can put it in vacation mode for a week or two. If you are all done you could donate your resources to some of the lower level members to help them out.

I hate to see you leave but if it's not fun for ya then I don't blame you.

**Kong** · 02-01-2009, 08:36 PM

This person has attacked me a lot
http://s8.ikariam.org/index.php?view...ectCity=119870
And I am getting pretty board with this game too.
So I am going to spend the rest of my resources attacking him.
If you want me to leave the alliance before doing so to prevent any retaliation that is fine but he did start it.
If you have any tips on offensive war let me know.
When he was attacking me last I spent all my money buying ships so I could ship my goods away before he pillaged me. But I didn't know how the blockading worked so I couldn't ship anything out and now I wasted all my money buying over a hundred ships.

**Dudebro** · 02-02-2009, 02:52 AM

It's ThetaBlockers. We had one of them attack us before, was it the same guy Kong?
They encourage members to pillage so there's no point in talking to them. I don't care if you want to attack him but I don't know how good you'll do since he seems pretty far into endgame.

**Kong** · 02-02-2009, 03:37 AM

Yes, this is the same guy that has attacked me several times before.
He has a few more over all points than me and a lot more general points. I will probably lose but I am going to send everything I have at him.
There's not a way to sell ships is there? I have too many.

**Squall** · 02-06-2009, 07:56 AM

my capitals co-ords are: [46:57] town name: Balamb. (you might as well delete all my old cities from the original post, they were deleted in the game
