Changelog 2.145
Dear Community,
On Wednesday, August 23rd, Grepolis will be updated to version 2.145. As always there will be a short downtime while the update is applied.
Summary
- We're currently working on several technical improvements, e.g. in regards to full IPv6 functionality and taking preparations for the next in-game events, hence the number of visible changes in this version is relatively small.
- Per popular community request, we have now added a button that will make sending units back from the agora a lot easier. Additionally we are already looking into potentially expanding this functionality after recent beta feedback, with another button for the support view of cities on the world map.
- At the same time we are activating the colonization improvements that have been tested on beta and select live markets 2 months after seeing good results in regards to fewer players losing all of their cities in early game phases.
New Features and Changes
- A new button was added to the Agora, making it a lot easier to return supporting units to and from a selected city.
- In each city's agora, the new button "Return all units" is now displayed in the "Defense" and "Outside" tabs.
- When used in the "Defense" tab, this button will send back all listed external units to their owners' cities.
- If used from within the "Outside" tab, the button will return all units that have been sent out from the respective city to support other players.
- The requirements for colonization were lowered to improve survival rates in early game stages. After initial testing, the following changes now finally become available globally:
- 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.
Bugfixes
- World Wonders - The world wonder donation progress could be reset twice if a city was taken by a player outside the alliance and then subsequently turned into a ghost town upon their voluntary restart. From now on this reset of donations will only happen if a player of the wonder owning alliance decides to restart.
- Unit Reinforcements - Warnings about insufficient population were not triggered properly if unit reinforcements for units requiring more than 1 population (e.g. horsemen, chariots) were used.
- Island view - The city foundation icon was not displayed on the target city spot while night mode was active. We have recovered the graphic and it's now shown properly.
- City Foundation - The tooltip displayed in the command overview showed a fixed arrival time instead of the actual remaining time.
- Sparta vs. Hades - Upon defeat on the final mission of the event, Medea's image was missing in the reward list.
We hope you enjoy the update and would love to hear any feedback you have here.
Best regards,
Your Grepolis Team
