Hero Worlds

Hero Worlds have been discontinued. Artemis and her spells, the additional building levels, and the additional technologies in the academy have become available in all worlds that have been released since the discontinuation of this feature.

In the dawn of the Era of World Wonders, when alliances are fighting for control of the 7 Wonders, the Age of Heroes will begin. This 2.0 Feature will bring about new units, divine powers, increased armies, and much more. There will be a number of ways in which a player can access the Hero Worlds once they have opened.

Hero Worlds

A Hero World is an extension of the normal Grepolis worlds. These worlds offer a new goddess with new powers and mythical units, increased building levels and new structure graphics. In addition to that the Hero World academies offer brand new technologies, which will add new dimensions to the game. Hero Worlds were created specifically for experienced players. All players who have the "Ruler of X" or "Master of X" award may enter the Hero Worlds. The "Heroic tactician award" is required for players who are not in the winning alliance as a prerequisite to enter the Hero Worlds. This award can be earned in the normal Grepolis Warrior worlds.

Basic Hero World Rules

Artemis, the Patroness of Hunters

A new god is available on the Hero Worlds, or to be precise a goddess: Artemis. She will introduce 4 new spells to the game and also add new mythical units to the battlefield. She is a strict and gruesome god, and hostile towards all men. As ruler of the animal kingdom she is the master of the Calydonian Boar, and commands the Griffins in the sky. Her divine powers can cause her enemies to hallucinate. However she can also strengthen the aim of distance fighters and cleanse the spells of enemies. Her versatility in battle is a force to be reckoned with.
