Quotation

"Dear players,

enhance your forces and recruit some Spartans! From 06.03.2014 14:00 (for countries in which the movie 300: Rise of an Empire starts in the theatres today, the rest get it tomorrow) till 09.03.2014 23:59 you have the opportunity to hire 300 Spartans for the price of 89 ambrosia. But be aware, the Spartans are limited, so: first come, first care! The Spartans are supreme defensive units, even stronger than Hoplite. And they fight for honor, meaning they don’t need any upkeep at all.

Your
Ikariam Team
