Ikariam has 4 major resources and 1 common resources...
The 4 resources is Marble, Grapes, Sulfur and Crystal...
The common is Wood which all 4 resources has wood.. I mean is that every resources you have you got a Saw MILL which produce wood...
The most important Resources is Marble because most of all your resources is depending on the MARBLE (without MARBLE you cant UPGRADE)
Second is Grapes which is needed because of its wine... GRAPES produced WINES but before that you got build the winery first... and learning the WINE PRESS... WINE boost your human production... Whats with WINE :) ENERGY BOOSTER? lolz...
Third is the CRYSTAL because it is need for upgrading science... SCIENCE or LABORATORY requires CRYSTAL to upgrade and beware the scientist requires alot of GOLD... You need CRYSTALL when you reach 3 ISLAND why? FOr expanding... Expanding 1 and 2 is easy but when you reach 3 it requires alot of CRYSTALS and MARBLE...
now the FOURTH resource... SULFUR the one with the power in making Strong SOLDIERS... nothing more and nothingless :) requires some upgrading in arms but not to much :)
THE WOOD will the basic need is wood... everything you need is wood :) easy as that...
GUIDE to expanding
you have to be in a MARBLE island...
Then focus your way to the second island which is GRAPES or CRYSTAL...
LAST is the SULFUR... why? you dont really need to much sulfur... you only need this on military attacks or making soldiers...
So.. focus on making your cities grow and expand before making alot of soldiers...
A LOT of SOLDIERS really need a lot of GOLD..
GOLD can be earn through cities with many people and less workers... :) thats the key in making a lot of GOLD...
So if you want to play Ikariam, then play it in Ikariam.org in Alpha.
