Not entirely sure what you mean by that but:
Ikariam is in a greek/roman style if you are being literal.

If you are talking about resources there are Six:
Wood, basic resource on every island
Gold, the income of your town, based on the number of citizens of your town
Stone, used almost as much as wood in higher level buildings
Wine, this makes your citizens more happy
Crystal, mainly used for research and training spies
Sulphur, used to train troops

If you are talking about military, that kinda gets in depth:
Hoplites: Main troops of any good army
Steam Giants: When hoplites just aren't enough
Spearmen: Cheap Hoplites
Swordsmen: Flankers! very important
Slinger: ranged and good early on
Archers: better than slinger
carabineers: better than both the above
Ram: very good early on
catapult: like a ranged Ram
Mortar: Like the catapult, but more damage, and once the wall is destroyed it targets enemy troops safely from the back
Gyrocopters: the harriers of the game, good anti-air and anti-ground Targets siege weapons if possible
Balloon-Bombardiers: packs more of a punch then gyrocopters but can only attack ground units, aims for siege weapons first
Cook: keeps moral high and can, if necessary, fight on the front ranks with his butchers knife
Doctor: keeps your troops living longer than they should and can, if necessary, fight using his scaple

The size of the battle field depends on the size of the town being attacked, however if the defenders go over their garrison limit then they loose the defence of their wall (as they fight outside the town)

If I have missed the meaning of what you mean, sorry ^^;

P.S Hope this helps ^-^

Does anyone here play Ikariam? Me and a couple of friends are building an alliance, ROME, on the new server, Omikron. If you do play, at least look us up; if you don't play but would like to please reply saying so, I can give you a link which puts you on our island as soon as you create an account (so we can help you ) Thanks for reading everyone Malanok P.S don't worry, I don't put a P.S on every message sent within the alliance ~.^

It is a simple online game where you log on once a day and build up an empire... then pillage everyone who is not of your own clan Thanks for the interest Malanok P.S I'll PM you the link, it changes regularly and I don't want to put one up which will be outdated soon ^^;
