Grepolis 2.0 brings a new farming system to Grepolis. This new farming system is a vast improvement and a significant change compared to the old system, making farming easier and more enjoyable then ever before.

==What is Farming?==
 
Farming is the general term given to the taking of resources from either another player or from a farming village.  However, for the sake of clarity and a lack of confusion, it will be given the meaning of taking resources from farming villages. Prior to 2.0, farming was done through the use of troops.  This was a rather tedious task as you would have to send farm trains to the villages to strengthen the village to 100% and follow that up with an attack in order to obtain the maximum amount of resources.  However, in 2.0, farming can be done with a click of a button, and without the hassle of using valuable troops to farm.  In order to ensure that you receive the most amount of resources with the least amount of effort, this page will help to answer all the mysteries of farming in Grepolis 2.0.
 
==Conquering Farming Villages==
In Grepolis 2.0 every player begins the game with 1 farming village under their control.  Because troops are no longer needed to farm, the location of this village may be some distance from your city. In order to gather resources or troops from the other farming villages, you must conquer them by defeating their resistance to your conquest.  The amount of resistance in each village increases as you gain more farming villages, and you are not able to conquer more than one village at a time.  You must also meet the minimum farm space requirements as indicated by the blue bar in order to take over another farm. Farming villages you do not own are denoted by a red flag.

<sup>#</sup> This is not the amount needed to beat the defense, but rather a minimum limit. You must have this amount of troops in terms of farm space in your city to conquer another farming village.
 
Please note that farming villages are unique to the player, which means that you won't be conquering another player's farming villages. Enemies may be feeding off of the same farming village as you.
 
==Farming in 2.0==
At the start, each player starts with 1 farm each. This farm can be looted to gain more resources, can be called upon for more resources or can be expanded for a bigger resource output. However, unlike the previous system, farming does not require troops. Farming also requires elements of teamwork to expand and upgrade the farm.

Farming in 2.0 is as easy as clicking a button. However, once you have selected the amount of resources you want, you will need to wait for the farm to restock the resources, which could take a varying amount of time. You cannot loot or demand again from this village until this time is up. Please note that the specified amount is '''not''' the total amount of resources you'll receive, but is the amount of each resource you'll receive. So, if the offer says "24 resources", it means 24 wood, 24 stone and 24 silver. [[World Settings|World speed]] affects the total amount of resources you receive, not the amount of time you have to wait til resources are ready again.
 
[[Booty]] (an academy research) in 2.0 gives you an additional 4 options for obtaining resources through looting or demanding.  The new options will give you an additional 2/3rds resources on top of the original options.  Therefore you get 1 and 2/3rd resources, but the time it takes to regenerate those resources is also doubled.

===Demanding Resources===
The first method of gaining resources from a farm is by demanding. This gives a reduced rate of resources, but doesn't effect mood at all.
 
This can be done by clicking on your farm (the one depicted by a green flag), selecting the demand tab and by demanding the specified amount (remember you'll get this amount of each resource). You'll receive this instantly. You'll then need to wait the specified amount of time before you can demand, or loot again from this particular village.
 
[[File:FV.png|center]]
 
#The farming villages current mood. This is unaffected when demanding resources.
#The current farming village level. (1 is the default, 6 is the highest level)
#Time until you're able to loot/demand again. In this screenshot, the player is ready to demand/loot again. This time is unique to the farming village.
#The amount of each resource* you'll receive if you take this offer.
#The time you'll have to wait until you can loot/demand again if you take this offer
#You can demand this offer with this button, with the resources being delivered instantly.
 
(*)This screenshot was taken at speed 2.
 
The amount of each resource you'll receive varies upon the farming village level and whether or not you have [[Booty]] researched, which doubles the amount of time you have to wait but also doubles the resource output.

|}
 
Note: This table is made for speed 1. If you wish to find out how many resources you will get on speed 2/3, please multiply the resources by the world speed. FV Lvl denotes Farming Village Level and the figure in brackets denotes with booty.
 
===Looting Resources===
Looting is the other way you can gain resources from farming villages. You gain more resources by looting for the same amount of time, but it will lower the mood of that farming village. The consequence of low mood is [[Farming (2.0)#Revolt|revolt]].
 
Looting is done like demanding, though you use the looting tab instead. Remember that you will receive the depicted amount of each resource, as well as world speed effects the amount of resources you get, not the time you have to wait. For example, below is a screenshot of looting at speed 2.
 
[[File:FV2.png|center]]
 
#The farming villages current mood. This is affected when looting and the lower the mood, the higher the risk of [[Farming (2.0)#Revolt|revolt]]
#The current farming village level. (1 is the default, 6 is the highest level)
#Time until you're able to loot/demand again. In this screenshot, the player is ready to demand/loot again. This time is unique to the farming village.
#The amount of each resource* you'll receive if you take this offer.
#The time you'll have to wait until you can loot/demand again if you take this offer
#The decrease of mood the village will have if you choose this offer. The lower the mood, the higher the risk of [[Farming (2.0)#Revolt|revolt]]
#You can loot this amount with this button, with the resources being delivered instantly.
 
The amount of each resource you'll receive (again) varies upon the farming village level and whether or not you have [[Booty]] researched, which doubles the amount of time you have to wait but also doubles the resource output. If you loot whilst the mood is low, you run the risk of revolt. The mood of a farming village goes up by 1% per hour (on speed 1).

Note: This table is made for speed 1. If you wish to find out how many resources you will get on speed 2/3, please multiply the resources by the world speed. FV Lvl denotes Farming Village Level and the figure in brackets denotes with booty.
 
 
====Revolt====
If your farming village's mood dips too low, it could go into revolt, meaning you will lose control of it. To regain control of the farming village, you will need to re-conquer the village by beating a randomly generated amount of [[Hoplites]], [[Swordsmen]] and [[Archers]].
 
Mood increases by 1% per hour. Because control of the farms is dependent on the mood of the village, you should take care to not farm when the mood is below a certain threshold which is below 80% (or 64% with [[Diplomacy]]).  The mood of the village can drop to below these percentages, and even below zero.  Farming, whether demanding or looting, should not be done below those levels. Note that mood is also unique to the player.
 
===Demand Troops===
You can also demand troops via the units tab from farming villages that are level 3 or higher. Similar to looting, you'll gain a certain amount of units, but in return you'll have to wait until you can demand/loot again, as well as the farming village's mood taking a considerable decrease. If the farming village's mood is too low, it will go into [[Farming (2.0)#Revolt|revolt]].
 
[[File:FV3.png|center]]
 
 
===Trading===
Like in version 1.26, you'll be able to trade with farming villages. Please see [[Trade#Trade_with_farming_villages|trade]].
 
 
===Expansion===
Farming villages can be expanded, to improve their resource output. This is vital in order to haul larger loads and grow faster.
 
[[File:FV4.png|center]]
 
To expand the farming village, you'll need to contribute a certain amount of resources to it. However, the farming village expansion level is the same for every member on your island, meaning that you can work with others on your island to upgrade and expand your farming villages. You can contribute your resources via the farming village's expansion tab.
