Replaces the table shown in the Palace and Gov Residence views with info from all towns:
Resources and their production level (or usage for wine)
Net Gold, Corruption
Population / Population Max , (Population Capacity Remaining) Growth
Research Points, Cultural Goods
Also has a row for resources currently on the move via trade ships.
And finally a Totals row [which includes trade goods and production rates]

Warnings are shown when resources reach maximum capacity.
Warnings are also shown when a production rate or usage rate will max-out or deplete a resource within a certain time, with the warning starting light yellow, moving through to bright red.
Warnings in Purple show 100% capacity or maximum reached.
Warnings in Blue show over 100% capacity to be reached due to trade goods transfer, which implies that the extra will be lost.

Install the script

Download the script

• Night effect on cities, islands and world.
• Sunrise and nightfall effects on cities.
• Weather (only rain & fog so far) in cities
• Uses local time.
• Images load fast
• All images compressed decreasing loading time by around 30%

So, if you like it, download the script and the graphic pack. After upload the graphic pack to your website and use greasemonkey and User Script commands to select image host. The host should be the root directory of where you put the images.

The first script is very useful to bypass login procedure in automatic mode (isn’t that just me, who thinks manual server choosing is stupid?). To use the script, install it and simply complete login procedure once, and after the script will bypass whole login procedure for you.

The second script, is autorefresh script which keeps your Ikariam “live” and upto date giving you a competitive edge. It refresh all your ikariam pages and you can customize a refresh timing. So just install it and good luck in use!

1. Install Ikariam Menu
2. Install Ikariam World Scan
3. Press ‘Show World’ button
4. Move the mouse over Tools and click ‘Scansione’

Download the script

The script is a little more advanced than GM scripts usually are; it tries to understand (and get an overall view of) what happens in the game as you play it (by peeking over your shoulder, so to speak — it peeks at all views you bring up in the game, while it improves a thing here and there), rather than bashing the servers with http requests, as soon as it needs some piece of data. This means that you should start with a tour to your library (there is a link to it in the left pane of your Academy), just after installing it:

As you probably note, the view has been combined up a bit into a tech tree, where the vertical line shows how far into the tree you are now. Adjacent techs can be researched right away by choosing the appropriate category, techs farther to the right depend on prior advances. Hover a name to see all its prerequisites get checked, and a tool tip about how many Research Points they will take to get to, cumulatively. (You can filter the view to only show unresearched advances by clicking the header. This is useful if you don’t have a large enough screen to see the entire list in one go; chances are you’ll get a better overview with the smaller selection.)

Anyway, go here on each server you play on, as the script finds out what techs you have researched on this page, which it will need to correctly predict how many people fit your in your Town Hall, how much buildings cost, what growth rate each of your cities have, and similar. (You may need an occasional visit here as you learn new such techs too; Well Digging, Holiday and Spirit Level all being good examples.)

Here is a fairly typical shot of three useful core features — the building level bubbles, wall clock completion times and (on hovering a building) a tooltip about how much resources and time will be necessary for its next upgrade:

Not hinted at much in this screen shot are two other hidden features: buildings you have enough resources to upgrade right now get a white background tint instead of the yellowish shown here (both in the level bubble and resource needs tooltip), so you can see in an instant which buildings you can upgrade without further ado and not. You may also browse future (and past) upgrade needs, just by moving your mouse over the tooltip and using the scroll wheel. Some buildings (presently Town Hall and Town Wall Smile will show some additional info in the level bubble — for Town Hall, how many more (or fewer, if you downgrade) people would fit compared to the present, and for the Town Wall, its defense bonus, given the current city size. Finally, click the resource tooltip to hit the game docs for the building in question. Next expansion level will be highlighted, so you can see if it brings any feature you want right now (a new unit for the barracks or ship yard, for instance).

Next up, a heavily annotated version of the improved page header (I’ve moved things about ever so sligtly to fit the city’s income, and made mostly everything clickable):

Especially take note of the population indicator: it shows in red when your town hall is getting full (or already is full, in boldface red). More precisely, it will take on the red tint a quarter before you have to start expanding it, if you want it to be completed by the time your growth hits the limit. Hover it for a time estimate of when that happens, and how late you can start expanding and still make it in time not to lose any population growth. It is not yet adapted to the 0.2.0 corruption mechanics, but I believe it gets it about right when you have 0% corruption, at least — so it’s a best case growth scenario indicator, right now. (If you have formulas or input on exactly how to compute how corruption affects growth rate, I am interested. So far, I have not even understood what the corruption indicators mean precisely, nor what things they affect.)

For each resource in the top resource box, clicking the icon goes to your trading post (if you have one) to buy goods of that type, or double-clicking, to sell it. Clicking on the ellipsis for wine will take you to the tavern to adjust settings. For all the other resources you produce, clicking that ellipsis instead brings you to the trading port — from which you might ship goods to your other colonies. Lastly, if the count of how much is in your current stock is a link, it goes to the place that produces it (the sawmill, quarry, vineyard, mine et cetera). I am considering making the rest of them links to the vineyard/quarry et cetera of your first colony that has one (or maybe the one with the most expanded such resource, if you have more than one), but that bit is not implemented yet.

The warehouse tooltip has become a link to the warehouse, and it has an ellipsis naming the number of safe-from-looting resources you can have in it, given its current expansion level.

The final thing I thought I’d mention right now: I have been experimenting a bit with a build queue. It is far from perfect yet, but it is already at a stage of “works a little when you are babysitting the game anyway, helping you remember to start upgrades you were planning”. The secret sauce is alt-clicking a building to put an upgrade to it at the end of the queue, or shift-alt-clicking to put it first:

How to use IAC

1. Go to the Military tab in Ikariam.
2. Highlight and copy content of that page. In most browsers you can do it by pressing CTRL+A and CTRL+C.
3. Paste the content into a text field on the right.
4. Choose language of the log.
5. Click [Analyze].

Limitations

* IAC can not distinguish between multiple towns sharing the same name.
* In general, IAC can not distinguish between won and lost battles.

Opera Users

If you do not want to subtract the number of lost battles from the result IAC gives you yourself, follow these steps:

• Save this style sheet on your computer.
• Log onto your Ikariam account.
• Right-click anywhere on the page.
• Choose [Edit site preferences...].
• Go to the [Display] tab and click [Choose...].
• Locate the style sheet you downloaded and click [Open].
• Click [OK].

If you go to the Military tab in Ikariam you will see that a word “won” appears before each won battle. Copy and paste the Military log as you always do and forget about subtracting the number of lost battles. IAC will take care of it.

The script adds some extra information when a city, either yours or a random one is selected on the island view. It also offers the same functionality in spy view. Here what it adds:

1. Total Score
2. Military Score
3. Gold Score

The information window on the left side of the Ikariam screen should now have those three extra scores added:
