Hephaestus, god of the forge, smiles down upon ancient Greece, as his wife, Aphrodite, joins the pantheon.
To show his appreciation, he blesses the builders of new cities with his divinity, accelerating their construction!
In our continued effort to deliver more diversity in our worlds and their settings, we will soon be releasing a batch of new 'special' worlds, which offer a unique play experience. In February, we will release new worlds with the Blessing of Hephaestus. But what's so special about these worlds? Read on to find out more...
Worlds which have the Blessing of Hephaestus expand on the existing mechanics which have long been a big part of Grepolis - founding a city! On these worlds, a newly established city has a chance to be more advanced than usual thanks to the Hephaestus blessing. Hephaestus can bless your cities with a simple blessing, blessing of harbors or blessing of farms and barracks. Each of these cities have different building levels when they're established, giving you a head start on specializing! The chances for each city type being created is as follows:
Simple city (40% chance)
Harbor city (30% chance)
Barracks city (30% chance)
Furthermore, the different game stages also follow different blessings, meaning as you progress, your newly founded cities will be stronger from the moment they are established. As a reminder, the table below shows how game stage is determined:
| Game Stage | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | Under 10,000 |
| 2 | 10,000 - 49,999 |
| 3 | 50,000 - 249,999 |
| 4 | Over 250,000 |
In the spoiler below, you'll see the details of the blessings used for these worlds, so check them out. These new worlds are just around the corner, with the release of our February special worlds, so keep your eyes out! Got any questions or feedback? Please go ahead and put it in the feedback thread found Here! We hope you enjoy these new worlds and their unique setup.
See you ingame!
