Alright, so. Awhile ago I thought it might be useful to start a thread in the en forums to collect as much Grepolis terminology as I could and so I did. I got to thinking perhaps it might also be useful to put it here as well. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to do so. (If such a thread does exist here, I apologize.)
