One key to becoming big in Ikariam is expansion. Settling a new colony is easy but brings with it the price of corruption. IMHO I would recommend to have your Governors Residence ready in all towns before making the move to creating a new colony. This may sound simple but when you have a few towns it can be quite easy to overlook the impact this can cause. Imagine losing 25% of your income and happiness due to corruption or worse 50%. A good example is say you already have 3 towns and would like to expand to a 4th. Do so once all Governors Residence are level 3 and Palace is level 3. A level 3 Governors Residence will cost approx. 19000 wood, 6800 marble and 4500 crystal. It may seem like a lot but it would be a lot worse trying to make those amounts with 25% corruption or worse.

All games like Ikariam based on expansion. So if you have Travian or something like that gaming experience, than you already done that
