  • Parts of the tutorial can now be skipped by more experienced players.
    • Players with a Grepolisscore >250 or who unlocked a hero on the respective world can now choose to "skip" the tutorial.
    • Skipping the tutorial will not remove the quests altogether, so that you can grab all rewards. However, all guided steps will be deactivated so that you can tackle the quests whenever you feel like it.
    • The option to skip is only available for the first 20 quests, which constitute for the most guided part of our quest lines.
  • Any spell cast by a God now comes with a highlight animation, showing the area targeted by the spell.

    • These animations can be turned off in the options.

  • Reports - The hint regarding new battle point calculations was not always displayed if no battle points were gained. It will now always be shown.

  • Some changes were introduced to the way the positioning of the user interface is determined.
    • This change should ensure that less issues arise with 3rd party scripts whenever we make smaller interface adjustments.
    • Disclaimer: Albeit us making some adjustments for your convenience, custom user scripts remain an unsupported, unofficial addition to the game and therefore continue to be used at own risk!

Bugfixes

  • Militia - The popup warning about an incoming attack and prompting to enlist militia was shown on next login of previously attacked player, even if the attack was already over. A check is now in place to prevent this from happening.

Version 2.158

Grepolis was updated to 2.158 on March 7th, 2018

Summary

  • Notifications had 3 small changes done to improve the information given. There are now two more distinctive icons for attack planner and admin notifications and notifications about incoming supporting units also provide more information on their destination.
  • The in-game chat has been fully deactivated and removed from the user interface. Significant changes would have been required to restore functionality but only few players tried to access since its temporary deactivation. We decided to part ways with the outdated chat system.
  • At the same time, our developers spent some time on improving the display of live conquest reports shared by other players on the app. Please refer to upcoming mobile changelog to learn more.

New Features and Changes

  • Notifications informing you about incoming supporting units sent to one of your cities now also contain their destination city.
  • Two notifications received new unique icons in order to avoid confusion with other notification types.
    • Attack planner notifications no longer look like support actions, but have their own style:
    • Notifications issued by game admins no longer look like in-game reports. If you see this icon, check for important news:
  • The alliance chat has been removed from the user interface
    • Due to technical difficulties with the old implementation of the alliance chat (Flash), it was previously deactivated and would have required extensive rework for it to be usable again.
    • Seen as less than 5% of our active players tried to access the chat during the temporary deactivation phase, we have decided to move on and remove the alliance chat altogether to focus the resources in other areas.
  • Event and sale icons, as well as unit tooltips now scale in accordance to screen resolution, in order to prevent inconveniences on small screens.
  • Adjusted the handling of Captchas for more convenience in case there are any service interruptions of the Captcha service.

Bugfixes

  • Recruitment overview - Numbers shown for the current ongoing recruitment in the recruitment overview sometimes did not match actual recruitment numbers.
  • Effects - Returning units from a besieged town led to effects being put into effect during the sieged that should only be re-triggered upon fending off/cancelling the siege.
  • Effects - Fixed several issues causing event effects and other bonuses to be applied multiple times albeit being unique.
  • Inventory - The mouse cursor did not switch to indicate that items can be interacted with (used). The right cursor is now shown again.
  • Localization - Fixed overlapping text on the gold shop button in several languages.
  • Incantation Circle/In Demeter's Name - Upon closing and reopening the event window after an item has been created but not collected, the window will keep its collection background to indicate that the item needs to be used or stored.
  • Conquest - Using the BBCode to share a live conquest report on a ghost town returned the error "[Invalid BBCode]". These reports can be shared again.

Version 2.155

Grepolis was updated to 2.155 on January 24th, 2018

Summary

  • The sprint for version 2.155 was used for research and concept work, thus not generating too many visual changes.
  • As requested by the community often over the past years, we now changed the way bonus effects are stored in order to recover them after a siege.
  • Furthermore some bugs were fixed and technical updates were performed in the background.

New Features and Changes

  • Bonus effects are now stored differently, enabling them to be restored under certain conditions.
    • Upon the start of a siege, all bonus effects on the besieged city are now saved and will be restored if the siege is not successful.
      • Effects that affect this city only are taken off during the siege and restored with their previous remaining time once the siege was ended. This means the initial duration gets extended by the siege duration.
      • Global effects, like alliance rewards (e.g. from Grepolympia) or effects that are active on every player city (e.g. Rituals) will keep running as usual, albeit not being active during the siege, meaning that they will not be extended once the siege was broken successfully.
    • Event-specific effects which last for the full event duration (Witch's Wisdom & Devoted Priests) are now restored upon restarting, both for voluntary restarts on a game world and after losing the last city and subsequently taking a fresh start on the same game world.

Bugfixes

  • City Foundation - Travel times were not updated when switching city while the foundation screen is opened.
  • Trades - Under certain conditions, trades were not cancelled after the destination town was deleted.
  • Grepolisscore - Fixed several cases of inconsistencies with the Grepolisscore between different game worlds in the same language version.
  • Winter Grepolympia - The reminder about the end of the event lacked a graphic on beta. Nike will now properly inform you about the end of the event as soon as the update has taken place.
  • Events - The information window providing information about the start of an event displayed some styling issues when two events of any kind were active at the same time.
  • Bonus effects - After breaking a siege, the game tried to restore alliance rewards multiple times, causing higher load on the game world.

Important Information

  • This update contains minor changes to the user interface, which may break third party scripts. Please confirm that these scripts have been updated to reflect all changes before reporting interface issues.

Version 2.154

Grepolis was updated to 2.154 on January 10th, 2018

Summary

  • This sprint was focused mostly on technical improvements and mobile features, thus there are not a lot of visible changes. Feel free to check our mobile changelog, however, as soon as it's published. We have some good news for those looking to rename their cities from the app. ;)
  • Of course we also fixed a lot of bugs as you can see below.

Bugfixes

  • Awards - Daily awards were displayed incorrectly in notes, with the year covering most of the graphic due to incorrect text formatting.

Island view - Fixed a city positioning error which caused the harbor to face the beach rather than the sea. We hope affected players' ships did not strand. ;)

  • Heroes - Descriptive unit icons in hero training dialog were outdated. Replaced with new icons.
  • City overview - City names with more than 20 characters were cut off in the city overview. This is no longer the case.
  • Effects - Tooltip of "Side by side with..." unit effect items stated NaN as population info. The right values are now displayed.
