The Grepolis Team will start a new update 1.12 in the next week for the German and English version. A week later, the rest of our language versions should follow. The 1.12 version contains a few innovations, like a change in the battle mode. In the past, you had to explore conquest in the academy and build a colonial ship to conquer
a foreign polis. You had to sail to an adverse city and occupy the polis for 24 hours. Now you will have to start a revolt, which will be placed instead of conquest in the academy. Conquering a foreign polis will work like that: You win the fight on the ground. After that you can start a revolt. The rising will last 12 hours. Afterwards, the revolt takes place and will rage for another 12 hours. In this second step your colonial
ship should arrive. There will be no hesitation, when your ship arrives you can conquer the city immediately. Why will we change the battle mode? We recognized confusions about the way you can help an attacked city. When a city was occupied the user who wanted
to help the original owner of the city had to a ack the city not support it. For you
guys it may be clear, but many players did not recognize that they had to fight
the troops of the aggressor. A second reason to change the battle mode was the lacking opportunities of the defender. After the occupying has started, he was forced to wait 24
hours and watch what happens. Now he can use his city the whole time. He can produce
new ships, build up the wall or recruit new troops. Therefore, we decided to change the battle mode. At first, there will be only a change in new upcoming worlds, but we will modify the system in the old worlds, too.
