Having played Ikariam for a long time, I've wondered why the developers have never incorporated islands with multiple resources in the game. Perhaps it will make the game more complicated to program, but in my opinion, it will also increase the amount of interaction in the game, especially when players start to jockey for the best islands. If I were a developer, then the new island options would be as follows.
Island with 2 resource combinations:
- Wine - Crystal
- Wine - Sulfur
- Wine - Marble
- Marble - Sulfur
- Marble - Crystal
- Sulfur - Crystal
Island with 3 resource combinations:
- Wine - Crystal - Sulfur
- Wine - Crystal - Marble
- Wine - Sulfur - Marble
- Sulfur - Crystal - Marble
Island with 4 resource combination:
- Wine - Sulfur - Marble - Crystal
The 4 resource combination island would probably be fought for frequently by alliances. I also think that the 3-resource combination of Wine - Sulfur - Marble would be the next most valuable island. Players might even pay more ambrosia just to transfer their existing towns onto one of these islands.
I have excluded Lumber for brevity, but you can probably surmise how the combinations would increase if wood was included.
Wouldn't it be nice if Ikariam developers would be able to read this post and include this idea in Ikariam 2012. What do you readers think? ^_^
