Changelog 2.141


Dear Community,

On Wednesday, June 28th, Grepolis will be updated to version 2.141. As always there will be a short downtime while the update is applied.

Summary

  • With this version we focused a lot on improvements for new and existing players. First of all we wanted to make colonization easier to access for new players. Therefore we prepared to move the colony ship research to an earlier academy level and adjusted the settlement screen to provide more information.
  • Additionally we added more functionality to the strategic map, added slingers as a potential island quest reward and adjusted island quest icons in the city overview to give more clear information.
New Features and Changes

  • Settlements are made easier and more intuitive for new players.
    • The settlement screen was reworked completely to receive a different design and more useful information, especially for new players:
      • Requirements for settlement are listed if they are not met yet
      • The screen provides additional information on the island (e.g. about farming villages being available) as well as the premade buildings in the city you are about to found.
    • Additionally preparations were made for the activation of the following changes which are currently only available and being tested on the new beta world Sandbox 7:
      • The research "Colony Ship" was moved from academy level 22 to 13.
      • Required harbor level for colony ships was lowered to level 10 instead of level 20.
      • Tutorial quests and their rewards were adjusted in accordance to these changes. This should enable new players to build a colony ship soon after getting the respective quest.
  • City dots on the strategic map now offer the same functionality as cities in the island view.
    • A click on any city on the strategic map opens the context menu for the respective city.
    • Dots enlarge on mouseover to give feedback on which city is currently selected in the narrow space.
  • Rewards on the island quest "The Desperate Village" were adjusted.
    • Slinger Reinforcement replaces Improved Attack (rare/epic) for the aggressive option of this quest.
    • The community has been requesting a Slinger effect to be added to island quests and we gladly follow this wish
  • Island quest indicator icons in the city list are no longer shown for time based quests. Texts were adjusted to indicate that quests for on these city's island still require some player action to be finished.
  • Negative effects triggered through island quests can now be reviewed from the quest log (mouseover on challenge button).
Bugfixes

  • Senate - Removed an error that could prevent certain buildings from be demolishable if requirements for upgrading the same building could not be met (button greyed out on upgrade screen).
  • Quest log - Fixed an issue that could cause quest details to appear as empty after finishing 2 or more quests simultaneously.
  • City foundation - Islands without any towns were shown as having no farming villages although there were farming villages present.
  • City foundation - The check for all requirements now knows that certain building levels are only required for research / colony ship construction processes and not the colonization itself.


Important information

  • With the update to version 2.141 all players will be logged out and need to perform a manual log in afterwards. This is required due to us changing to an even more secure encryption method for stored data, for which the update will be triggered with the next login.
