Update to version 2.33

[Richard]

Hello players and forum goers,

On Tuesday 18th December, Grepolis will be updated to version 2.33, bringing exciting new features, such as the Divine envoy, a new mythical unit. This update contains several large changes which are detailed below. It also includes several bug fixes. This update is intended to bring us in to a new era of exciting changes for the new year. Please note, as always, there will be a short period of downtime during the update.

Features/Changes:

• Implementation of a new menu design - The main screen ingame has been reworked, giving a sleek new interface to Grepolis;
• Added a new welcome window when a player starts on a world;
• Improvement of the quest system:
  • The existing quest system has been improved by changing and adding new quests to the tutorial quests at the beginning of the game. The new quests will touch on areas and elements of the game not currently covered in the tutorial;
  • During the farming part of the tutorial, the troop movement button is disabled, making the tutorial flow in a more natural manner;
• Several construction based game balance changes in the Senate:
  • The temple and the City Wall have been swapped in the construction tree;
  • New Temple build requirements: Quarry level 3 and Senate level 3;
  • New City Wall requirements: Temple level 3 and Senate level 5;
  • The Market place and the Cave have been swapped in the construction tree;
  • New Market place requirements: Senate level 5; Warehouse level 5;
  • New Cave requirements: Senate level 10; Market place level 4; Warehouse level 7;
• Added a new mythical unit to the game: the Divine envoy! This special mythical unit is available for all gods, and can support any city, not just those who worship the same god;

Bugfixes:

• Several bugs relating to the attack planner have been fixed:
  • A wrong error message was displayed when creating a plan via run-time overview;
  • The graphical background graphics was 2px too small;
  • The units count was not correct for more than one planned attack;
  • The "Close" button picture was behind the amount of units sometimes;
  • The scroll bar was missing in run time overview on Internet Explorer 8;
  • The text was missing on the pagination pop-up window.
• The scroll bar in the town info window, spell tab, has been removed;
• In some cases, the conquest could start without any colony ship nor attack ship;
• The profile text was not always shown in predefined color;
• Some translations were missing;
• Some Christmas calendar bugs have been fixed;

iOS Bugfixes

• In the trade overview, iOS users are now able to drag and drop the towns;

We also have one extra special surprise new feature, which we will announce just before the update. Please keep an eye on the forums for the announcement.

Yours Grepolis Team
