The bigger you build your empire, the harder it is to maintain, some people may find the game a bit slow as it takes several hours to do things like building buildings and loading ships.

The Game ~~~~~~~ Ikariam is a web based game that you play in your browser rather than downloading. It's different from most of the other games i've played because it works on real time and continues playing even when you log out. I also find it a little bit slow as you can only do a few things because you have to wait for real time to go. ~~ Starting ~~ Starting the game is very simple and you only need to give the most basic of information to ...
