Dear players,

There has been a slight change to the island quests. Directly from the mouth of Marcel (Game Designer) to your computer screen:

Situation:

Update on changes to Island Quests.

Posting:

Thanks to the feedback of our community, we will have two major changes to the Island Quests:

- The spawning times of Quests will change from 2h (Earlygame) / 3h (Midgame) / 4h (Lategame) to 2h / 4h / 8h. Many lategame players complained that they get too many rewards and that they would rather focus on other stuff within the game. With this change, a lategame player can do up to 3 Island Quests per day.

- The defense boost will be weakened from 30% down to 5%. The attack boost will also be weakened from 30% to 10%. This way, the attack boost will stay slightly stronger than the defense boost. All rewards that you already earned and stashed in your inventory will stay unchanged.

Now that is a cause for celebration! Thank you for the update Daed!

I am having a serious problem with one of the island quests I did last night It required me to send 35 men to escort these people so I sent 36 then I was expecting to be able to accept my reward but I couldn't so I sent all of my men when it was all over all it sent back was the first 36 I sent and it kept everyone else and the 36 I sent first were slingers this Island quest totally messed me up . I might as well quit playing there is no way of getting these men back and my farm is maxed out at level 40 . now I hate Island quests

I'm sorry, but several things you said do not make sense.

1. If you sent the 36 troops as escort, there is a travel time so it would take a while for the quest to say complete. If you sent all of your troops after, they may simply be stationed there and you need to go to the agora to recall them. If this doesn't work, you can submit a support ticket.

2. Quitting over a minor mistake is pointless. Live and learn.

3. I don't understand what having your farm level at 40 has to do with anything?

4. Hating all island quests for one of your own mistakes is not justified hate, just rage.

Have you checked your agora to see if you could recall the troops you sent? (Agora -> Outside -> Little arrow next to your troops)

I guess it's because he thinks he'll never get his troops back and he's worried as he won't be able to build the troops because he doesn't have any pop left ;-)

changing the frequency is actually a bad idea. I don't think you should change it as it does help with some of our smaller players to better defend themselves. The original 30% boost is actually very helpful. If you drop it down to 5%/10%, the smaller players will get eaten up easier and faster, thus creating an imbalance of power. Keeping the boost at 30% is good, and the more advanced players can opt not to do the quests if they don't want. It's ridiculous to think that because the older and more advance players think they don't need the boosts, and thereby cause others that needed the boost to not get it.

Island quests are an excellent idea. Some of the rewards are very useful, such as the rewards that give you troops for a couple of hours and the forced loyalty. This adds a more lively addition to Grepolis.

It's not that "older" players don't think we need them, it's that 30% is a huge imbalance in an attack/defend. Thinking 30% bringing more balance just does not make sense in my mind.

I have a question concerning the Favor Booster. It say it's a 50% favor regen boost, but I'm only getting about 33%.

My regular rate is 42 per hour. When I use it, it should then be 63 per hour, with a 50% increase. Instead, I'm at a 56 from a regular 42, for a plus 14, which from 42, is only 33%. I just think if you are going to say it's a 50% increase, it should be 50%.

Do you have any idea how to gain ships and or obtain another city without conquering. ?:-D

You can gain ships after having built the harbour, you will then be able to train Transport Boats. If you are talking about combat ships (Biremes, Lightships or Triremes), you will need to research them in your academy before having the ability to build them in your harbour.

If you want another city without conquering, you have to found your city. However, I would recommend you to conquer a city to another city as when you found a city, you only get 997 points ;-)

I think more of the Island quests should have Gold as a reward! it would be nice every once in awhile to get that. I buy gold but its not much and it goes quick this way its like a lucky bonus!!!

No, I don't think so. That would mean that you could just create a city on every game world and wait for a quest giving gold as a reward to spawn...

Not sure where to post. I am new to the game. I have played other games in the past and it is a lot like this one. I was just wondering what I should do to put in an idea for bettering of the game. Not that it isn't already awesome.

Log out and back in, and wait for a few hours. If this doesn't work, clear cache and cookies, and wait for a few hours. If this still doesn't work, contact the support.

New Idea? How about if quests you give players favor (15 favor as a reward). or second idea, if a player attacks another player that has turned into a ghost town, could instead of coming back with resources, could the troops take back favor?
