The Gods

The World of the Gods

Gods played a major role in the life of the Ancient Greeks. Zeus (king of the gods) ruled on Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. It was important to the Ancient Greeks to please the gods, otherwise they might punish the population with overwhelming natural feats. It is therefore natural that the gods play a major role in Grepolis.

Basics

"When one side goes against the enemy with the gods' gift of stronger morale, then their adversaries, as a rule, cannot withstand them." - Xenophon

In Grepolis there are four gods, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera and Athena. Each god can enact four different divine powers and call upon two unique mythical units.

In the temple you can select which god you would like to worship. Each city can worship different gods, however each city can only worship one god at a time. The higher the level of your Temple, the more favour you earn from your chosen god. You can spend this favour to enact divine powers or call upon mythical units.

What god is right for your city depends on your situation. It is therefore quite useful to change the god you worship many times throughout the game. Do this wisely, for when you switch gods you lose all your favour as well as mythical units and divine powers from your previous god.

Zeus

As ruler of heaven and earth, Zeus was regarded by the ancient Greeks as the most powerful of all gods. He ascended to the throne of Olympus when he killed his father Kronos in a mighty battle.

In Grepolis Zeus can call upon the mythical Minotaur and Manticore. The Minotaur - half man, half bull - is the strongest defense unit.
