Aegean Battleships
Ahoy Captain! Enemy ships are on the horizon! The Aegean Battleships have arrived!
The Aegean Battleships is a new event in Grepolis, released to coincide with Grepolis's 10th anniversary celebration. In this new event, your scouts have spotted hordes of enemy ships gathering on the horizon. Your task is to seek and destroy enemy ships in the misty seas, to keep their forces from your shores, and protect your citizens! But of course, sinking enemy ships pleases the gods, and Ares will reward you with some unique rewards never seen before. Will you answer his call and annihilate your enemies? Keep reading to find out more!
Ready. Aim. Fire!
Upon opening the event window, you will see a 5x5 grid. The enemy ships lie within, but your Scouts couldn't identify their exact location, so you must find them!
Click on an area of the grid to fire a volley of ammunition at its coordinates. Hit or miss, you'll still snag yourself a prize! If your aim is true, though, you'll hit an enemy vessel! Some are smaller, taking up only one space on the grid, whilst some are larger and require multiple hits to be fully sunk. Each shot you take costs 10 ammunition. You can find ammunition for completing regular actions ingame, such as attacking, casting spells, trading and building. You can find ammunition up to 10 times each day, but if you need more, you can purchase some in the event window with Gold.
Every reward earned from the grid will automatically be added to a temporary system known as the 'Event inventory'. This storage has 6 spaces, and can be used to temporarily store rewards until you decide to store, discard or use them. You can only take a shot if you have at least one space in your event inventory.
Sink enemy battleships!
Each shot taken will give you a reward, but you will also get additional rewards for successfully sinking a ship. These rewards are known as 'Sink rewards'. On the right hand side of the event window, you can see the list of ships, as well as the rewards you'll get for successfully sinking those ships. You have the choice to try and sink every single ship, or pick the ones you want the Sink rewards for, and save your ammunition for later. If you want, you can search for brand new enemies at the cost of ammunition. You can also search for new enemies for free if you completely clear the grid of enemy ships.
Each day during the event has a daily special reward. This reward will be a high value reward which appears one time per grid, and changes each day. The daily special reward can be obtained multiple times if you complete the grid and start a fresh one, or if you refresh the grid using ammunition.
Sail the seas
Each hit you take also gives a Map Piece
. These Map Pieces can be used to navigate a treasure map on the left side of the event window. Once you reach the end of the trip, you'll unlock the coveted Grand Prize.
Using a Map Piece will move you between 1 and 3 spaces on the treasure map. At the top of the window, you can see the current Grand Prize, as well as the next 2 prizes after it. Once you reach the end of the map, the map resets, and you're given the opportunity to start on a new map, and earn a new Grand prize.
