Account Questions

How Do I Create An Account?

You can create an account easily on the front page. To create an account, click the "Play Now For Free" button and select your username, password and world. An email address and acceptance of the Terms and Conditions are also required.

How Much Does It Cost?

Grepolis is free, forever. However, if you would like access to any special features or bonuses (eg. different overviews), you may pay some money for some gold, which may be used however you wish.

Can I Change My Password?

Yes. If you go to "Settings" and then "Change Password", you can change password with immediate effect on all worlds.

Can I Recover My Password?

Using the email address used during registration, you can. Select the forgot password option on the front page. Then enter your player name and password. Instructions on how to reset your password will be sent to your email address.

How Can I Delete My Account?

If you ever wish to delete your account, you may do so by going to "Settings" and then to the "Delete Account" tab. You will need to enter your password to authorise the deletion of the account. It takes approximately 7 days for the account to delete. However, it will only delete the account on the world you authorised it to. The account and progress on other worlds will remain intact.

Can I Restart On A World?

Yes, you can. Go to "Settings" and then "Restart". Note that all cities, units and resources will be lost with the restart. As well as this, you may only restart if your beginner protection has ended.

Can I Play On The Same Internet Connection As Another Player?

Yes, this is allowed. If you are sharing an internet connection with another player for more than 3 days, you have to declare it by clicking on "Settings" and then "Share Internet Connection". After declaring, trading and sending support between the players on your internet connection will no longer be possible. An entry in the shared connections list can only be removed after three days. If two or more accounts are played regulary on the same internet connection without declaring, it can result in a ban. Each player may only have one account per world. Please adhere the rules! Each account must enter all other known accounts played on the same internet connection. For example, if three accounts are played on the same internet connection, each player has to enter the usernames of the other two accounts.

World Questions

When Do New Worlds Come Out?

New Worlds are released when other worlds become crowded and full. Wait patiently. Details of new worlds will be posted when they come out on the Announcements Forum.

What Do These Settings Mean?

Different settings on each world mean different strategies must be used. Different settings mean different things as well. For more information on what different settings mean, see Worlds.

How Long Does Beginners Protection Last?

This varies on the world settings. You can find this out by having another player press the attack tab on your village. A notice will appear when this is up.

Resource Questions

How Do I Get Resources?

There is two ways of getting resources. The first is through your [Silver Mine], [Timber Camp] and [Quarry]. These buildings will give you a certain amount of a particular resource each hour. This yield can be increased by upgrading these buildings. The second way is by farming either [Farming Village]s or other players polises. By sending an amount of troops to the farming village or players polis, you can loot the resources. However, they may defend themselves if the mood is too low.

Why Can't I Store Anymore Resources?

You can't store anymore resources because your [Warehouse] is full. Upgrade your warehouse to store more resources.

What's A Farming Village?

Every island has 8 [Farming Village]s. These villages can be attacked for resources. They are not controlled by a player.

How Can I Attack A Farming Village?

On your map, select a farming village and select the attack tab. Select the troops you wish to use and click attack.

I Farmed A Farming Village And They Attacked Back!

This is because the mood is too low. If the mood is below a certain percentage (75% or 60% with [Diplomacy]), the villagers of that polis can attack back. The lower the percentage, the higher the chance they will defend themselves.

How Does Mood Go Back Up?

Mood increases over time. The maximum mood a farming village can have is 100%. Note that the mood that village has to you only applies to you.

Why Didn't I Get A Full Loot When I Attacked A Farming Village?

The amount of loot you get depends on the strength of the farming village. The higher the strength, the more resources you can get from it. Higher strength also means that when you attack the farming village, the lower the strength and mood reduction. However, higher strength also means more defence if you attack when the mood is too low. Note: After an attack, Strength can only go up or down by 15% maximum.

How Does Strength Go Up?

Strength goes up two ways: -Over Time: Strength goes up like mood over time. However, it will stop at 50%. -Strengthening: You can strengthen the farming village by selecting the normal attack tab, then clicking the strengthen button (above the attack button). Strength can only go up or down by 15% and mood applies when strengthening (meaning that the village can defend itself, even if its a strengthen attack). Note: Strength applies to everyone on the island, so that when you get a farming vilage to 100% strength, everyone else has a 100% strength village to farm from.

I Attacked Someone But Received No Resources?

Each player has an amount of "unlootable" resources. This amount increases with every warehouse level. The reason you recieved no resources is because all the resources they had were unlootable.

Building Questions

How Do I Build Buildings

You are able to build buildings three different ways. You can click on the Senate and select the building you wish to build/upgrade from there. The Senate also shows you what resources are need, how much farm space is needed and what is already on your build queue. The second method is by clicking the fifth tab along to the right of your screen (the hammer). This method is a quick and efficent way of building. Lastly, you can also build using the building overview by clicking on the administrator icon at the top. However, it requires premium- administrator.

Why Can't I Build A Particular Building?

To build certain buildings, you'll need to complete certain requirements. For example, to build the [Harbor], you need to have a level 15 Timber Camp and a level 10 Silver Mine. You also need enough resources and enough [Farm] space.

What Buildings Are There?

There are many buildings to build. For a list, please see [Buildings].

What Are The Special Buildings?

The special buildings have special effects, that may bring a bonus to the troops or villagers in that polis, or one that gives you an ability that you didn't have before. However, these bottom tier buildings are very hard to get and you may only build two (one from the left side, one from the right side) per polis.

Conquest Questions

Please note, this only applies to worlds with the conquest method of taking over cities. If you are on a newer world, you are most likely on a revolt world.
