Ikariam Palace: Capital and Colonies
The Palace is the seat of the Governor in the capital city. It therefore assumes in the capital the role that the Governor's residence performs in other cities.
In contrast to the normal Governor's residence, however, the Palace must be developed to at least the same level as the number of colonies you own. For this reason, additional colonies in the capital do not create corruption.
Function of the Palace
The Palace stands exclusively in the capital and marks it as the seat of the Governor. Its level determines how many colonies can be administered in the capital without corruption.
Relationship to Colonies
- The Palace level must be at least equal to the number of colonies.
- As long as this condition is met, there is no corruption in the capital caused by colonies.
