Can't blockade an inactive?

**WhiskeySix** · 04-21-2008, 01:08 PM

There's an inactive near me w/ a TON of stuff, but he's got a lowly balista ship sitting in his harbor. Unfortunately, when I click his town, I can't blockade it o_0

uh wtf, over.

In-actives never had the blockading option available. Not sure why.

I think its a bug, at least I hope so.

It is not a bug.

The official Ikariam rule book says that no one can blockade or attack any inactive players. The only exception is if you decide to attack an inactive on your own island by land. However, you cannot blockade any inactives on your island if they have just one+ ships in their harbor.

It is within the rules to pillage the inactive players!

Q: What is this guy with a (i) beside his town name?
A: That is an inactive player. Most of the time, inactives do not return to the game. This means you can pillage them without anyone getting angry! You might want to send them a message telling them that you are only attacking them because they are inactive, in case they do come back. Also, the bashing rule still applies.
