2016 Changelogs

Version 2.128

On December 28 2016, Grepolis was updated to version 2.128.

Changes & Improvements

• Players with cities on world wonder islands going on vacation generate an automated report to inform alliance leaders about their absence:
  • If a player in possession of one or more cities on islands with world wonders owned by their alliance activates vacation mode, alliance leaders automatically receive a report about their action.
  • The report contains a list of all cities that may require special attention while this specific alliance member is on vacation.
  • Cities are grouped by island and their names are clickable for further action, e.g. going directly to the respective city.
  • NOTE: This automatic report is only generated if the previously announced vacation mode changes [Info here] are already active on the respective world. It is bound to this functionality.

• Further improvements have been made to the world wonder donation overview:
  • The donation overview can now also be opened from the world wonder tab within the rankings.
  • When opening the overview via the ring menu of a specific world wonder, the overview now automatically shows the statistics for this wonder instead of opening the overall overview.

• Players who founded an alliance are now able to make donations to world wonders right after their new alliance was set up.
  • The recently implemented 72 hour cooldown for world wonder donations made it impossible for founders of new alliances to start the construction of a world wonder.
  • In order to allow for the start of a world wonder construction, the founder of the alliance may now issue donations immediately.
  • This change only applies to the actual founder of an alliance, it has no impact on alliance members with the founder role assigned to them.
• Once the era of world wonder is started on new game worlds, the construction of a world wonder will now always unlock all 20 town spots on the island.
  • The construction of a world wonder causes all remaining town spots on the respective island to become available in case the construction was started with less than 20 open spots on the island.
  • Players restarting can no longer spawn on these islands. Spots are solely available for colonization.

• We updated our captcha system to reCAPTCHA v2. It is now a lot more convenient to prove that you are not a robot.

Bugfixes

• Login - If a banned player was allowed the option to restart, Yes/No buttons were displayed but had no functionality as there was already a *"Restart" button in place. These extra buttons were now removed.
• Reports - Conquest information - Troop information was not loading properly under certain circumstances.

Version 2.127

On December 14 2016, Grepolis was updated to version 2.127.

Changes & Improvements

• Earned battle points are now consistently displayed for all report types.
  • Previously, battle points were not shown in some reports as they could allow for conclusions about the amount of defeated units.
  • Since this data about defeated units could be compiled from the city wall's overviews anyway, it made no sense to stick to this inconsistent rule.
  • Battle points are also included in shared reports. They're bound to the booty option for shared content.

• Several new heroes are introduced to ancient Greece.
  • All new heroes are available in the regular recruitment cycle.
  • These new heroes come with dedicated awards for reaching certain levels with your own hero levels or having wounded enemy heroes a set amount of times.
  • Meet the 6 new heroes in question:
    • Pariphaistes
      • As long as Pariphaistes is assigned to a town, all naval units in that town will be constructed 11-30% faster.
      • Cost for recruitment: 70 Coins of Wisdom
    • Rekonos
      • When Rekonos is assigned to a town, the production of stone in that town is increased by 44-120%.
      • Cost for recruitment: 65 Coins of Wisdom
    • Ylestres
      • When Ylestres is assigned to a town, the production of wood in that town is increased by 44-120%.
      • Cost for recruitment: 65 Coins of Wisdom
    • Themistocles
      • Divine Envoys and horsemen have 11-30% increased offensive and defensive values while fighting at Themistokles side.
      • Cost for recruitment: 60 Coins of War
    • Deimos
      • All units will have 5.5%-15% increased offensive values while attacking with Deimos.
      • Cost for recruitment: 120 Coins of War
    • Pelops
      • Hoplites and chariots will have 11-30% increased offensive and defensive values while fighting with Pelops.
      • Cost for recruitment: 60 Coins of War

Bugfixes

• Reports - Instead of displaying empty profiles of players who since had their accounts deleted when accessing their profiles from battle reports, a new message is shown, indicating that the player in question no longer exists.
• Bandits Camps - When accepting victory rewards from Bandit Camps while having reached full capacity for at least one resource, the warning popup about losing resources is now displayed properly.
• Map - After a player town was conquered by another player, functions exclusive to owned towns are no longer shown in the ring menu. It is now updated properly to reflect the new owner.
• Alliance - Some alliances were left without a founder or leader and could not be disbanded after their last member was deleted. It is now no longer possible that alliances end up without leader or founder.
• Performance - Some edge cases could cause the game performance to drop on single worlds. These cases are now handled properly.

Version 2.126

On November 30 2016, Grepolis was updated to version 2.126.

Changes & Improvements

• Islands with world wonders will now always have 20 town spots.
  • If the construction of a world wonder is started on an island with less than 20 available towns or founding spots, all remaining spots automatically appear for potential colonization.
  • Players restarting can no longer spawn on world wonder islands.
  • This change should allow for a fair competition and less irritation with players from other alliances randomly appearing on islands where a world wonder construction is already in progress.
• Since we have our mobile app in place, the dedicated mobile website will be switched off on December 31st. A banner informs everyone visiting the page about the shutdown.

Bugfixes

• General - Scaffolding of thermal baths no longer overlaps academy level 30.
• General - Winners of a world again receive +10% extra favor automatically, no matter when they achieved this goal.
• Alliance rights management - Cyrillic game version - Last column name caused scroll bars and overflows due to overlapping.
• Reports - Island Quests - When supporting or attacking quest objectives, report titles now correctly reflect that the action was part of the quest, instead of stating "(none)".
• Reports - Ghost towns mentioned in battle reports are now always clickable to allow for additional actions with these towns.
• User Interface - When interacting with heroes before the respective tutorial step was reached, a JavaScript error was thrown. This is no longer the case.
• Map - We separated some conjoined twin farming villages.
• Map - A Bandit's camp was overlapping one of the farming village on one very special island. Balance has since been restored in this chaotic place.
• Grepolisscore - Grepolympia - The correct Grepolympia icon is now displayed for the event category.
• Grepolympia - Skill icons for chariot race were displayed in the wrong order.
• Grepolympia - The ranking now correctly keeps the page your alliance is ranked on, even when switching between player and alliance ranking.

Changes & Improvements

Bugfixes

• Marketplace - When reviewing trade details, previously disabled input boxes now show values and can be used for adjustments. For gold trades, the review function and connected arrow button are disabled as no adjustments can be made.
• World Wonder donation overview - The button for resetting the player search field was fixed after it had previously joined the dark, left aligned side.
• World Wonder donation overview - Auto-completion within the search field did not display upper and lower cases in accordance to original player names.
• Attack simulator - A JavaScript error that appeared when inserting units and hero from espionage reports was fixed.

Version 2.124

On November 2 2016, Grepolis was updated to version 2.124.

Changes & Improvements

• Vacation mode will no longer apply for cities on islands with present world wonders.
  • This change is necessary to prevent alliances from gaining unfair advantages by activitely blocking cities on world wonder islands with some of their members going into in vacation mode.
  • In the first step of implementation, this change will only be applied to worlds on which the age of world wonders has not started yet. All other worlds will follow from January 2nd, 2017.
• We are adding some more functionality to the world wonder donation overview:
  • The rights management in the alliance member tab has been expanded to include priviledges to review donations in the world wonder donation overview.
  • A search bar was added at the bottom of the overview, making it easier to look for a specific player in the list of all donors.
  • When opening the donation overview, the donation list will jump to your position in the list, so you can easily see your own donations at a glance.
• Battle point villages have been rebalanced to offer a more streamlined experience. The following changes only apply to worlds with battle point villages:
  • Upgrade costs for farming villages are lower in the beginning but ramp up more with each subsequent level. The overall costs for an upgrade to level 6 have been decreased slightly.
  • Farming villages start with a bigger resource capacity with less subsequent increase for higher levels. The maximum capacity has been decreased.
  • The amount of resources that can be demanded with each cooldown have been increased slightly.
  • The number of units you can ask for has been increased as world speed is now taken into account.
  • Maximum trade ratios have been decreased as resource trading felt mandatory to maximize resource gain. In turn the trading capacity has been increased.
• Heroes taking part in a battle are now automatically and correctly preselected when opening the simulator from a battle report. However, they are only selected when they were visible in the battle report itself.

Bugfixes

• User interface - When opening and closing the "Troops from this city" overview in the agora, units no longer disappear from the overview on the right hand side of the screen.
• User interface - Banners for advisors are no longer displayed in respective menus (e.g. Captain for farming villages) if these advisors are already activated.
• Farming villages overview (Premium) - If demanding and looting resources in one or more farming villages is currently not possible, listed villages and checkboxes are deactivated and tooltips reflect the situation with corresponding information.
• World wonder donation overview - Donation data is now updated properly as soon as new donations arrive.
• World wonder donation overview - NaN was displayed for percentage values if no donations were made yet.
• World wonder donation overview - All world wonders owned by the alliance will now be displayed in the dropdown menu, even if no there were no donations yet.
• Reports - Defenders can no longer see if attackers had divine senses activated during their attack.
• Island view - Another farm town was moved as it was overlapping with the clickable area of founding spot for a new city.
• Grepolisscore - Awards gained on other worlds are displayed properly
• Island quests - After making a decision, both options were still displayed when opening the quest from the island view.
• Grepolisscore - The world overview window was slightly too big, causing an ugly scroll bar.

Version 2.123

On October 19 2016, Grepolis was updated to version 2.123.

Changes & Improvements

• An overview of all members' donations towards an alliance's World Wonder has been added.
  • When clicking on the respective World Wonder, you now have the opportunity to find a list of all alliance members' donations towards this Wonder.
  • This view is currently only available for founders and leaders, but we already plan to include this feature in the rights' management of the alliance.
• There now is a 72-hour donation cooldown for new alliance members. This is to prevent alliances from inviting players solely to accumulate more donations and favor for their World Wonders.
  • Due to the way the feature is built, there may be some exceptional behaviour for worlds on which the age of world wonders has already started:

-The donation screen will only show donations that have been done after the activation of the feature as the game can only start collecting the data from that point onward.

-Due to the way the feature is built currently, the list of world wonders in the dropdown menu of the overview may not show all wonders. This is due to the fact that only world wonders with donation entries made after feature implementation are listed. Finished world wonders hence are not listed at all.

For worlds on which the age of world wonders has not started yet, everything should work as expected as soon as the construction of the first world wonder starts.

Bugfixes

• Island view - There should be no more farming villages overlapping with potential spots for founding a new city.
• Color assignments - The title of the color picker window was sometimes not displayed properly.
• Fall event - An issue was fixed that prevented incantations to be displayed properly when certain combinations of ingredients were selected.
• Reports - The tooltip for stone hail as displayed in reports will now appear in proper Grepolis style.
• Alliance - Applications and invitations window is now reloaded properly when accepting an alliance invitation.

• In rare cases the island quest would not end even after reaching 100%.
• Opening the Phoenician Merchant overview could result in an "error 502".
• In the Fall Event the window could get stuck on loading screen.

Version 2.121

• We implemented 86 new awards for you and have plenty of more in preparation.
• All new awards provide a new challenge for you that you can complete now.
  • New awards will provide a new challenge for you that you can complete now. This means they are not granted automatically to you although you already achieved the required goals in the past.

• After our testing phase on the beta we changed the way daily awards will be counted in the Grepolisscore. Gaining the daily awards is accompanied by a lot of effort and this should be credited. Therefore you will get the points for your Grepolisscore every time you gain a new daily award.

• We fixed the quest progress for quests where you have to research certain technologies, for example biremes or colony ship.

• Fixed the display problem that new towns (especially founded ones) were not displayed on the map. This problem occurred only in our App and is fixed with this browser update.

• When choosing the "breakthrough" attack mode naval units fight 50% weaker but you should loose less land units compared to the normal attack mode. There was a bug in the calculation of how many units can break through. We fixed this now.

• Ongoing revolts and conquests are indicated by a smoke / fire graphic above the city image on the map. We only display these graphics if either you get conquered or you start a revolt or conquest in another city. Conquests or attacks of other players are not shown to you.
• Smoke and fire above city images on the map can be deactivated in the settings.
• We changed the way system messages are displayed. These are green and red confirmation messages in the top middle of the screen that appear for some seconds to confirm your action (green) or to inform you that an error occurred (red).

• On the "Strategic Map" you now have the possibility to easily highlight alliances and players by setting a color. This will give you a better overview about your neighborhood and the position of your friends and enemies.

Bugfixes:

• Quests where you need to fulfill only one of multiple conditions are now displayed in the quest list with the corresponding fulfilled task text.
• For a few players the Agora showed a wrong number of battle points. Some players had even around minus 30k battle points for a short amount of time. This issue was hard to reproduce but we are confident that we found and fixed the problem in this version. Anyway if you recognize this issue again, please let us know.
• Removed a white pixel that was displayed above the Agora image during night.
• In the command overview commands towards ghost towns were not displayed correctly. Behind the town name there were sometimes only brackets displayed.

• Under certain circumstances the link for the settings on the world selecting page was displayed multiple times.
• The sound effect for completing a quest was missing, but has been added now.

• We added a progress bar to quests where you can make progress.
• Cities from players under beginners' protection will be displayed with a shield on top of the city image on the map.

• Players who lost all towns on a world, couldn't accept alliance invitations afterwards, now they can do it.
• When having more than 9999 new messages, reports or forum entries, the corresponding menu item got overlapped by the number. We adjusted that and will display 999+, if you have more than 999 entires.

• Combining several negative effects affecting the resource production, caused a display bug in the tooltips.

For example players couldn't complete certain quests, help arrows were not shown at the right places, island quests behave not like intended sometimes and more. This update also contains several bugfixes for our Battle Points Villages feature, we are currently testing on our beta servers.
