World Wonders (often abbreviated as WW) brought a new team-play aspect to Grepolis after the 2.0 update. Once the world is in the "Era of World Wonders" stage, alliances may build world wonders on islands they completely own. World Wonders are built by collecting up resources. You can accelerate the construction of your world wonder by using 400 favour from all of the [[The_Gods|gods]].

*The sum of the top 50 alliances points must be at least 250 million
* The sum of the top 50 alliances points must be at least 250 million.
*If the world is not in the "Era of World Wonders" after 6 months, the amount needed for the sum of the top 50 alliances will be reduced by 13 million per month.
* If the world is not in the "Era of World Wonders" after 6 months, a new amount will be calculated by the system based on the settings of the world.
* If the new target points have not been reached by month 10, the value will then begin to decrease every 30 days until the target points is reached.
* This new target value is calculated by reducing by half of the difference between the current objective and the current sum of the top 50 alliances.

The amount of resources needed to build a Wonder will require alliances to set aside vast amounts if they wish to complete the Wonder first.  The following table provides the amounts needed for Levels 1-10 in a Speed 1 World.  Construction of Wonders can also be accelerated with the use of 400 Favor from each of the [[gods]].

===Demolition of Wonders===
There are two types of ways in which a Wonder can be demolished.  The first type is partial demolition and is through loss of control of the island.  The second type is total demolition and is through the disbanding of an alliance.
====Loss of Island Control====
Should an alliance lose control of one or more cities on an island with a Wonder under construction, the current level on which the Wonder is being built will be lost.  For example: If Alliance A is building Level 7 of Wonder X, and have put 10,000,000 resources towards its completion; if Alliance B comes in and takes a city on that island, then all of the resources for Level 7 will be lost and the Wonder will remain at Level 6 with construction halted until control of the island is regained.
If the island contains a Level 10 Wonder, loss of a city will result in the Wonder being knocked down a level to Level 9.  At this point, other alliances with the same Wonder can then attempt to complete their Wonder.
*''Note: This is also the case if a city on the island '''ghosts'''.  However, unlike the loss of a city through conquest, the alliance will still be able to continue building the wonder, though at a loss of the last completed level and resources.''
====Alliance Disbanding====
Should an alliance disband, or be disbanded, all Wonders under its control will be lost.  This is total demolition of the entire Wonder and all built levels.  Additionally, the merging of two alliances will also result in this happening.  The alliance merging into the other alliance would have to disband in order for its members to join the newly merged alliance.
Also, if the alliance building the wonder loses all of its cities on that island, then the Wonder will be completely demolished as well.

* All active players on the World in with the victory conditions were set.
* Players from other worlds who have fulfilled certain criteria may join the Hero World. It is possible to play both worlds (normal world and Hero Worlds) in parallel.
* Hero Worlds have special configurations and exclusive game functions. See [[Hero Worlds|Hero Worlds]] for more information.
 
===Hero Worlds & Wonders: The connection===
<div style="display: block;<!--
        -->position: relative;<!--
        -->border: 1px solid {{{border|black}}};<!--
        -->background: {{{background|#FFE7B4}}};<!--
        -->vertical-align: top;<!--

''I have to build how many Wonders?''
 
''How do I get into the Hero World?''
 
''Can I join a Hero World if I don't play that world?''
</div>
* These are just a few of the many questions that players have about the Wonders and how they are connected to the [[Hero Worlds]].  This part of the Wiki should hopefully help you and answer these questions.
 
====The Connection====
The following examples should help to illustrate how the Hero Worlds are connected to the regular Worlds by the WondersAs the feature is new, we hope to shed a little light on what happens when a Hero World is unlocked and when players can enter them.
 
To begin with: The Hero Worlds will be active on December 15th, 2011, but this does not mean that they will open or have access granted to them on that date.  That is the date from which it will be possible to open one if the Wonders requirement is fulfilled.
 
Here is an example of how things may look on December 15th:
<div style="display: block;<!--
        -->position: relative;<!--
        -->border: 1px solid {{{border|black}}};<!--
        -->background: {{{background|#FFE7B4}}};<!--
        -->vertical-align: top;<!--
        -->margin-bottom: 10px;<!--
        -->padding: 8px;<!--
        -->margin-top: 0em;<!--
        -->padding-top: .3em;">
* ''World Alpha: The Age of Wonders has not yet begun.''
* ''World Beta: The Age of Wonders has started, but only 2 Wonders are controlled by a single alliance.''
* ''World Gamma: The Age of Wonders has started and 3 Wonders are controlled by a single alliance.''
<div align="center">[[File:Wonders2HeroEx1.png]]</div>
* ''World names are for illustrative purposes only''
</div>
As you can see, '''none''' of the worlds have access to the Hero Worlds as yet.  They still need to fulfil the Wonder requirements.
 
Another example of what the worlds may look like 2 weeks after the 15th of December shows how the Hero Worlds open:
<div style="display: block;<!--
        -->position: relative;<!--
        -->border: 1px solid {{{border|black}}};<!--
        -->background: {{{background|#FFE7B4}}};<!--
        -->vertical-align: top;<!--
        -->margin-bottom: 10px;<!--
        -->padding: 8px;<!--
        -->margin-top: 0em;<!--
        -->padding-top: .3em;">
* ''World Alpha: The Age of Wonders has not yet begun.''
* ''World Beta: The Age of Wonders has started, but only 2 Wonders are controlled by a single alliance.''
* ''World Gamma: The Age of Wonders has started and 4 Wonders are controlled by a single alliance.  Hero World Gamma opens for players in that world.''
<div align="center">[[File:Wonders2HeroEx2.png]]</div>
* ''World names are for illustrative purposes only''
</div>
In this example, World Gamma has unlocked access to the Hero Worlds and players from this world can now enter it if:
* They were a part of the alliance which controlled 4 of the 7 Wonders; or
* They have completed the requirements for the '''[[Awards|Heroic Tactitian]]''' Award
''Players from Worlds Alpha and Beta will not be able to join Hero World Gamma as they have yet to complete the Wonder requirements.''


This last example shows how things may look about a month after the 15th of December:
<div style="display: block;<!--
<div style="display: block;<!--
         -->position: relative;<!--
         -->position: relative;<!--
Line 149: Line 117:
         -->margin-top: 0em;<!--
         -->margin-top: 0em;<!--
         -->padding-top: .3em;">
         -->padding-top: .3em;">
* ''World Alpha: The Age of Wonders has not yet begun.''
While an infinite number of Wonders can be built in a world, only 1 of each of the 7 Wonders can be completedThis means that is Alliances X, Y, and Z are building Wonder A, only one of those alliances can complete Wonder AThe remaining alliances can build theirs up to Level 9, but no further.
* ''World Beta: The Age of Wonders has started, and 4 Wonders are controlled by a single allianceHero World Beta opens for players in that world.''
* ''World Gamma: The Age of Wonders has started and 4 Wonders are controlled by a single allianceHero World Gamma opens for players in that world.''
<div align="center">[[File:Wonders2HeroEx3.png]]</div>
* ''World names are for illustrative purposes only''
</div>
</div>
Here you can see that both Beta and Gamma have a Hero World, players from either world may join the other's Hero World so long as the requirements have been met.


Put simply: World Alpha players will not be able to join either Hero Worlds as their own has yet to be unlocked through the building of the Wonders.  Players from Worlds Beta and Gamma can play in both Hero World as long as they have the '''[[Awards|Heroic Tactitian]]''' Award from their own world.
* ''Note: The 10% Favor bonus granted to an alliance for building the 4 Wonders will not apply for those players outside their own Hero World.


====Additional Information====
[[Category:Wonders]]
* Players that complete at least 4 of the 7 World Wonders will receive the award '''[[Awards|Master of X]]'''. Players with this award will play on the Hero Worlds with a 10% max favor bonus (500+50=550) as a reward for their efforts.
* The award '''[[Awards|Heroic Tactitian]]''' will become available when an alliance controls 4 World Wonders and a Hero World is spawned.
* Once the Age of the World Wonders has begun on a world, no new players can join that world.

Latest revision as of 19:21, 19 November 2022

World Wonders (often abbreviated as WW) brought a new team-play aspect to Grepolis after the 2.0 update. Once the world is in the "Era of World Wonders" stage, alliances may build world wonders on islands they completely own. World Wonders are built by collecting up resources. You can accelerate the construction of your world wonder by using 400 favour from all of the gods.

The Era of World Wonders

After a world has met certain requirements, the whole world will enter "The Era of World Wonders" together. Once in the The Era of World Wonders, alliances must race to build these world wonders on islands they own. When a world enters this stage of the game, new players cannot enter that world; the world becomes closed to new registrations.

World Wonders Prerequisites

  • The world must have been in existence for at least 6 months (with each month being 30 days).
  • The sum of the top 50 alliances points must be at least 250 million.
  • If the world is not in the "Era of World Wonders" after 6 months, a new amount will be calculated by the system based on the settings of the world.
  • If the new target points have not been reached by month 10, the value will then begin to decrease every 30 days until the target points is reached.
  • This new target value is calculated by reducing by half of the difference between the current objective and the current sum of the top 50 alliances.
  • Some specific examples are shown in the table below:



World Wonder era start requirement
World Setting Top 50 Alliance Points Current target Multiplication New target
Fast 150 million 250 million x 1.2 180 million
Regular 150 million 250 million x 1.5 225 million



Construction and Resources

Sandpit.png

When an alliance has complete control of the island on which they wish to build their Wonder, then the Founder or Leaders of the alliance will be able to select which of the 7 Wonders will be built there. Once chosen, the choice cannot be changed. This is done by clicking on the sandpit construction sites on eligible islands.

The amount of resources needed to build a Wonder will require alliances to set aside vast amounts if they wish to complete the Wonder first. Resources are sent to the Wonder via the marketplace and the needed resources for the current level will be stored there until all of the necessary resources are collected for that level. The following table provides the amounts needed for Levels 1-10 in a Speed 1 World. Construction of Wonders can also be accelerated with the use of 400 Favor from each god. You cannot reduce the construction time after half of the total build time has expired. So if the level takes an hour to build, you cannot reduce the time past 30min.

Players must be alliance members for a minimum of 72 hours to send resources and cast favor on any WW.

10 23,800,000 23,800,000 23,800,000 89h 26m 00s 00h 09m 10s


To calculate the needed resources for other Worlds, multiply the resource amount by the World Speed (ie: 200,000*2=400,000 or 200,000*3=600,000)

Demolition of Wonders

There are two types of ways in which a Wonder can be demolished. The first type is partial demolition and is through loss of control of the island. The second type is total demolition and is through the disbanding of an alliance.

Loss of Island Control

Should an alliance lose control of one or more cities on an island with a Wonder under construction, the current level on which the Wonder is being built will be lost. For example: If Alliance A is building Level 7 of Wonder X, and have put 10,000,000 resources towards its completion; if Alliance B comes in and takes a city on that island, then all of the resources for Level 7 will be lost and the Wonder will remain at Level 6 with construction halted until control of the island is regained.

If the island contains a Level 10 Wonder, loss of a city will result in the Wonder being knocked down a level to Level 9. At this point, other alliances with the same Wonder can then attempt to complete their Wonder.

  • Note: This is also the case if a city on the island ghosts. However, unlike the loss of a city through conquest, the alliance will still be able to continue building the wonder, though at a loss of the last completed level and resources.

Alliance Disbanding

Should an alliance disband, or be disbanded, all Wonders under its control will be lost. This is total demolition of the entire Wonder and all built levels. Additionally, the merging of two alliances will also result in this happening. The alliance merging into the other alliance would have to disband in order for its members to join the newly merged alliance.

Also, if the alliance building the wonder loses all of its cities on that island, then the Wonder will be completely demolished as well.

World Wonders and Bonuses

There are 7 different world wonders to be built. The WW construction spots can only be seen if the player has more than 5000 points. Note that each alliance cannot build more than one of each type. Once a WW is constructed it also gives the alliance who built it a small bonus.

Victory Conditions

When one alliance completely builds up and controls 4 of the 7 World Wonders then they will have 'won' that world. The alliance that does so will receive the Victor of X award, and also be given a 10% increase in their favor cap. An alliance can then go on to complete the remaining Wonders to achieve the Master of X award.

While an infinite number of Wonders can be built in a world, only 1 of each of the 7 Wonders can be completed. This means that is Alliances X, Y, and Z are building Wonder A, only one of those alliances can complete Wonder A. The remaining alliances can build theirs up to Level 9, but no further.
