grepolis 2.0 browser real time war game

Grepolis is real time strategy war game. This means that you cannot stop the game at any moment. You cities can be attacked and conquered no matter if you are online or not. This makes it a bit more challenging in compare to some casual turn-based strategy games (like AtWar).

What is so good in playing Grepolis?

Grepolis as all but superficial and easy game. You have to work on your own conquest strategy and work together with your alliance-mates, in order to "survive" this browser war game.

Grepolis is not about "log in, play, attack, log out"; it has its depth, and requires lots of planning, building of the strategy, putting yourself in the shoes of your opponents, cooperating with your team fellows... Above all, it is a team game. You cannot win it alone, and you will need to gather up a team of players who will work together with you on clearing the regions and the whole oceans of enemy cities.

The whole lot more fun comes when you  become a ruler of 5 or more cities. At some stadium you will have more than 100 cities, with indescribable military power. You are then in position to state your demands, control the game with few other players who are as powerful as you are... Diplomacy is one of the key features in game. Trading territories, declaring war, peace or even PACTS is what makes this game realistic.



Alliance system in Grepolis 2.0

Teaming up with your neighbors makes you more powerful. Well organized alliances where dozens of members attack as if they are one, are those who will stand throughout the whole war.

Alliances are one of key figures in every Grepolis' world. Every ocean has hundreds of alliances, but only few of them (10-ish) are those who actually have power to destroy it and rearrange it the way the want. Whatever happens between those alliances will determine the destiny of everyone in that specific world (one of over 60 worlds in Grepolis).

One alliance is made of dozens, if not hundreds, of players. Every player have a rank given to him, which places  him in a certain position within that alliance.  You can be a founder, co-founder, leader, war general of specific world area ruled by your alliance, recruit officer... Prove yourself in team play and organizing missions, and you will be moving up in hierarchy in no time.

One alliance in Grepolis 2.0 is similar to a state in real world. With this comes everything else one state has: diplomacy, trading system, military... Choose your alliance wisely, and fight for it: this alliance is your home now and your destiny in the game depends on its strength.
