Ikariam v0.4.4

Version 0.4.4 introduces the features below:

Feature – Forms of government From now on you can select a form of government via the palace as soon as the new research topic Government Formation has been researched. There are eight different forms of government in total, which will bestow different bonuses but also different disadvantages on your island kingdom. The form of government can be changed as often as you like, although anarchy rules after each change. During anarchy, corruption in all towns is increased by 25% and no troop actions are possible. Completed research topics must precede the forms of government, whereby existing research topics have been extended and three new research topics have been added, Government Formation, Legislation and State Religion. Feature – Alliance Chat Every alliance has its own chat room, in which members can talk amongst one another. This can be entered via a button on the main page.
