to join our alliance you need to do three things:
1. research foreign cultures
2. have an embassy built in at least one of your cities
3. select your embassy and search for alliance Imperium. then ask to join.
okay so first thing is the help link in top left corner of ikariam's website. its small, fast, and very informative.
economy
each citizen - generates 4g / hour
wood gather - costs 0g / hour
scientist - costs 8g / hour
sulfur miner - 0g / hour
military slinger - costs 8g / hour
really each of these cost an additional 4g because you lose the 4g the citizen was making.
starting tech tree (for people who want to build up the town first rather than military)
conservation
well digging (adds 50 people to town and 50 happiness)
pulley
wealth (allows you to mine your island's resource) - also when you unlock this you get 50 of every resource. yay!
resources
wood - for everything
sulfur - military
marble - most buildings past level 2 need this as well as wood
crystal glass - academy past level 4 (palace and governors residence later on)
wine - happiness for population (dont need this till you hit town level 5)
if you dont have wine or marble things can be a little rough but you can always trade your resource or buy someone else's.
upgrading island
wood pile - you have to donate wood to this to level it up and allows more workers onto it. max at level 1 is 30 workers. i think level 2 is 44 and so on...
resource - is the exact same thing. you do not donate that resource tot level it up though. you actually donate wood. which i think is odd but whatever...
statue - this grants you a special bonus when you donate enough gold to it.
all of this is cumulative so you can see who is donating to help out and who is not.
starting out
basically build up your town. get as much wood and money as you can. when you are able to mine your resource just throw a few people on it to start. by time you town hits 4 you should be generate decent money and resources probably even maxing out workers on some things. from there you may want to expand to another island.
expanding
1. you need to research expansion under seafaring.
2. you also will need a palace (635 wood).
3. and finally supplies for the new colony (1250 wood, 12,000 gold, 5 ships, 40 people) and probably a little extra to get the colony started.
