You should now that this script is marked as illegal on many servers, if not on all. I have, including some users, tried to get this script improved, but the administrators of Ikariam servers have all rejected.
Here are two reasons:
- This script changes the game experiences.
- It makes additional server requests.
Well, I can agree on the first reason, but when you have like 6 cities, it gets pretty annoying to click on each building to see if it is upgradeable. The second reason is pretty weak--I tried to explain that the script does not make unnessary server requests, it does NOT make a request on each page. The script only make requests to the server on research and academy page and only if you have not done the resource bonus reduction researches. After that, it will not make any further requests. In fact, you make more requests when you click on each building to check if they are upgradeable, but the administrators seems not to understand this...
The bottom line: You can use this script without any worries. This script is not detectable by the administrators on Ikariam servers! I am using this script myself and will keep using it whenever I play Ikariam.
Also, if you like this script, please mark it as your favorite script, makes me happy! :)

If you are familiar to the online browser game Ikariam, you will properly have noticed how annoying, it sometimes can be when you look at your big city with it's resources, and you simply do not know which building is upgradeable regarding to the amount of your resources. Ikariam Upgrade Watcher (IUW) is what you need.
This script attaches an icon to each building in your cities. Each icon has a color and a number which indicate if you have enough resources to upgrade the particular building and the current level of the building respectively.

- Uses resource reduction bonuses from research
- Uses resource reduction bonuses from buildings in your city
- Automated detection and calculation of the resource reductions
- No pre-settings required from you

- Supports GreaseKit and Fluid
Note
- Requires Firefox add-on CreaseMonkey
- Supports GreaseKit and Fluid since version 1.2.2.
| Recommendations |
|---|
Whenever you install a new version of this script, make sure you uninstall the previos version first. Do not copy-paste the source code, in some cases, the new features will not work, because of some cached items in GreaseMonkey.
Also try out the script Ikariam Reloaded made by Buzzy. It works fine along with Ikariam Upgrade Watcher.
| Details |
|---|
Here are some details and the meaning of the icons and their colors. Be sure you got the idea of the colored numbers in the info box.
Enough resources to upgrade the building.
Enough resources to upgrade the building, but a construction is going on.
Not enough resources to upgrade the building.
Information about next building level is not available.
- Green number indicates the number of resources you have left after the upgrade.
- Red number indicates the missing resource in order to upgrade.
- Note: The infomation in the info box for a construction spot is calculated two levels ahead. This means that the needed resources shown in the box are for the upgrade of the building after the construction is done.
