Hello players and forum goers,
On Wednesday, April 16th, Grepolis will be updated to version 2.59. A discussion thread can be found here.
As is always the case there may be a short downtime while the update is applied. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Below is a list of the changes to be implemented in the update.
Game
Features/Changes:
- A few improvements have been made to the alliance finder for recruiters:
- The dependency that alliances need to have their contact buttons enabled in order to appear in the alliance finder has been removed;
- Instead of this, a new option that will handle whether an alliance appears in the alliance finder or not has been added to the alliance settings;
- Also, a points requirement has been added: if a player doesn't have the required amount of points required by an alliance, the "apply" button will be greyed out for that player and for that alliance.
- Improved the way in which exclusive heroes such as Andromeda are handled in the game:
- Exclusive heroes are now listed in the council, but with chains above them in case you don't own them;
- Exclusive heroes may never appear in the recruitment as long as they are considered as exclusive;
- Players who own exclusive heroes, will have their maximum amount of slots increased for each owned exclusive heroes and each hero given out with the hero reward, will give a free additional slot;
- Considering that Andromeda is an exclusive hero by definition, she now behaves like one in terms of extra slot gained: the start amount of slots per player is reduced by one, so new players will only have 1 free slot at the beginning. As Andromeda is exclusive, she will automatically come with her own slot, which means that the initial free slot will stay free.
- Heracles now also grant favor when injured if battle was honorable and player won.
Bugfixes:
- Patched issues with the resource packages gained in the easter event. Note: Existing packages (already generated in event screen or stored in the inventory) will not be altered. This change will only affect resource packages generated after the patch
- Switching towns wasn't updating all data in the UI;
- In the troops overview, expanding several town info simultaneously didn't work correctly in Internet Explorer 9;
- Sounds were played multiple times simultaneously when disabling and enabling them;
- The background picture was not loading in the hall of fame;
- The size of the heroes assignment progress bar didn't adjust to the length of the content;
- When forwarding a message, the subject was missing;
- There was a javascript error when closing alliance window;
- The visual indicator of the farm population was not accurate after recruitment;
- The rewards for completing 100% of the tutorial (Andromeda and production boost) were misplaced on the window;
- In some cases, awards were not displayed in profile window.
iPad
Bugfixes:
- The popup suggesting to link Grepolis to your home screen has been removed;
- It was not possible to scroll the city list when having city groups;
