3 Key Formulas to Skyrocket Your Ikariam 3.0 Score
Already a veteran Ikariam 3.0 player? Go one step further: Learn the formulas! Ikariam relies on several not-so-well-known equations. To score higher, begin by learning how Gameforge gets the scores. Don’t be lazy, let Katty Mann (hey, that’s me) teach you the math involved.

1.	Total Score Formula Total Score = Citizens + ($ spent on ships x ( 0.01) ) + Generals + Master Builder + (6 x Scientists)

Trick: Raise, then Train. As you can see, each citizen adds one point Accommodate the highest number of citizens possible before attempting to build a soldier or a ship. Only then, train a few of them; but no more than the growth rate of your population. For instance, if your population grows at about 8 citizens per hour, make no more than one or two Steam Giants—8 citizens each— and let the population recover Pay attention to the last element of the equation: the number of Scientist, the most important variable in the Total Score. “Scientists”, a rather misleading word, IS NOT the number of citizens you assign to research, but a 1% of the research achievement “light bulbs”.

Trick: Build more Academies. Do so in all your colonies and assign as many researchers you can afford. Even in your mobile colony you should build an extra Academy, because it’s cheaper and builds in minutes.

2.	Generals Formula Generals = 0.02 x (wood + crystal + sulphur + wine) ***
 * goods used to build units or war ships

The Generals formula reveals the amount of goods used to build soldiers and war ships. In other words, it measures the importance of an army. Missed in Action soldiers/ships don’t count, only current units do.

3.	Hideout and Risk Formula Risk of being caught (up to 95%) = (Risk before the Mission) + (5 x Enemy Spies Defending Town) + (2 x Enemy Hideout Level) - (2 X Enemy Town Hall Level) – (2 x Your Hideout Level)

Because in Ikariam 3.0 players can send as many trade ships as desired when pillaging, they will obviously spy on your cities to assess how many cargos they will need during an attack. You can prevent others from infiltrating in your towns if you know how to counteract their actions. Again, you need some math. Raise your hideout level. The higher your hideout and the number of spies working on the defense, the better your chances to catch an enemy spy. Trick: Use the Ika-World Search Engine. If you find a spy and can only get the name of the island it came from, go to ika-world.com and use the search engine to find its coordinates.
