Ikariam Data Site
Research Tree

The Ikariam Data site provides users with a Research Tree so that the flow of research can be better seen. From this table the research information is easily available simply by clicking the research item. It also is pretty instant for all the information is loaded with the page, so there is no need for page reloads when you want to move around the research.

Building Information and Building Tree

There is also a Building Research Tree displaying all the Research needed to get each building. Again the research items and the buildings can be selected for more information.

Building information includes all (reasonable) level costs and build times, including a build completion time so that, if it where started then or near you would have a fair idea of when it would be complete.

Troop and Ship Details

Within the buildings and research links are provided to the Troop and Ships. Each Troop and Ship includes all their relevant details.

Growth Rate Calculator

There is also a Growth Rate calculator. By inputting your current population, research achievements (Well Digging and Holiday), along with your Tavern and Museum level; the calculator provides you with the total population that is sustainable with the current level of upgrades.

Since the Growth rate is equivalent to the population rather then simply fall on its own accord, there is a time where the Growth reaches 0. The calculator tells you at what population it will do so.

Also, and likely more usefully, it tells you when the current town level will reach its maximum population. If it is below the point where the growth rate reaches 0; it tells you how many people will be in the town.

The time for maxing out the Town is useful so that you can upgrade your Town without loosing time, but without doing it too soon. (Remember, the difference between your Wall and Town is reflective of the defence bonus that is applied)

Score Searcher

Finally, the most recent feature is the Score Searcher. This allows you to find the score of a user without needing to submit two separate forms on the official score board (that is if your interested in the players Generals score).

Note: (To be clear how this works)

''The information you supply is sent to the official score board, and it still shows you the official score board, in a HTML iframe. The iframe is within a window so that you can't play using it.''

''The reason I mention this is more to ensure that it is known that it isn't gaining the information in any special way. Also, its important to not that you can therefore only get the score of players when you are logged into the server to which you wish to search.''
