Erobringssystemer

På Grepolis er det to forskjellige måter du kan skaffe deg nye byer på; ved å kolonisering eller erobring. Ut av disse vil erobring bli sett på som den mest effektive, men litt mer kompleks. Det finnes to måter å gjøre det på, erobring og opprør. Noen verdener bruker erobring, mens andre bruker opprør - hvilke av disse to som blir brukt, kommer helt an på hvilke innstillinger den verden har. Denne siden skal gi en rask oversikt over erobring av byer på et generelt grunnlag.

Erobring

Farming av andre byer vil hjelpe din by med å vokse og utvikle seg, men for å virkelig kunne skaffe deg et ordentlig stort rike trenger du flere byer og da helst på forskjellige øyer rundt omkring. På denne siden skal vi fortelle deg hvordan du skal gå frem for å erobre andre byer.

Erobringsmetoder

Erobring med overtakelse

This type of conquest applies to siege worlds as well as ghost towns on Hyperborea worlds (where it is not possible to conquer active players). On revolt worlds you "conquer through revolt" (see next chapter).

You can devide the take over into two parts. In the first section you attack the target town and ensure your CS lands safely. In the second part, during the siege you pacify the town and prevent the previous owner from reclaiming it.

Details of Conquest by Siege

Attack Picking a target In this phase you need to pick a target and guide your CS safely to it. The maximum traveltime of a CS is 48 hours, so the target must be within this distance. Sending the attack Click on the target town to bring up the military tab as you would with a normal attack. You must include: CS (this will change the normal attack automatically to take over attack) land units (land victory is compulsory) naval units (naval victory is compulsory) The most important unit in your attack force is the colony ship. It should not get destroyed under any circumstances, otherwise the conquest will be aborted and the surviving troops will retreat. Hence it might be good tactics to send in one or more waves of attacks to eliminate the opponent’s defenses, before the actual conquest is carried out. Sending along defensive units, or rearguard armies In the final attack for conquest it is also very important to send along defensive units. These include Biremes to fend off naval units, and enough units with strong defensive values to hold off the enemy’s land units. Of course you can also support the conquest from other cities. What is important here is that any rearguard armies are sent in the "support" mode, so when they arrive they can help the troops that are already involved in heavy fighting with the capture of the city. A town can only be supported by divine units if the god of the town is the same as the god of the divine units. This is true for towns under siege too. So if you want units from different gods supporting the town, you must send them alongside the CS. If not, you must match the god of the town under siege. Siege Once you land your CS safely, while ensuring both naval and land victory, and smash the core of the city’s military defense, the inhabitants are not particularly well-disposed towards a new ruler. Your conquering army needs a certain time to convince the citizens that you are the better ruler and to defect to your side. The duration of the siege differs from world to world. On most worlds it depends on the speed factor, but it can also be set independently. The exact siege times for each world can be seen in the world information-article. By researching democracy the siege duration can be extended by 10%. During the siege period the defender has no control over the city. But your troops can get attacked nevertheless, just as they can also be supported. You can see incoming attacks and supports if you go to the city from which the colony ship was sent, and click on the icon displaying the conquest under „Troop movements“. Important: During siege attacks will work toward lifting the siege, and supports will work toward success of siege. So in attack phase attacks help you, in siege phase supports help you. Success of siege If the conquering troops survive the siege period without being crushed, the city changes into your hands. All buildings and things that have been researched remain undamaged, unless you have specifically attacked them with a divine power or with catapults. Your CS can not be used again, it disappears. Troups escorting the CS remain in your new town as support units until you withdraw them. Failure of siege A colony ship is destroyed if someone attacking the besieged town wins the land or the sea fight, meaning he has defeated either all land units or all naval units and he has not lost all his troops himself in the process. In this case siege is lifted, your CS sinks. Ghost towns If you send attacking troups to target town before CS lands, so in the attack phase, and these attack troups arrive after CS lands, so in siege phase, they behave differently in towns with owners and deserted towns. If a town has an owner, these troups have coffee and return home without lifting the siege. If the town is deserted and is a ghost town, they attack your siege troups and have a chance of lifting the siege.

Conquest by revolt

This type of conquest applies to revolt worlds. On all other worlds you "Conquer by siege" (see chapter above).

In this system there is two parts to take over: first you must convince people that their current ruler is not suitable to rule (attack to initiate revolt), then you must land your own CS to show you are the suitable ruler (during revolt, land CS).

Details of Conquest by Revolt

Attack Once the prerequisites are met, you need to send an attack in revolt mode (by picking the proper icon in attack overview) and then eliminate at least all land units in the targeted city. The residents there start to ask themselves if they are in fact governed by the right ruler. It takes a while before the rumors and grumblings of the citizens have spread within the town and the dissatisfaction escalates. Hence, it will be 12 hours after a successful attack, before the revolt in the polis erupts (this time is fix, it doesn't depend on world speed). Several revolts can be instigated in one city at the same time. But only players who have started a revolt can conquer the city, meaning no-one can capitalize on a revolt that was sparked by another player. A player cannot start a new revolt in a city when he has already instigated one within the last 24 hours. Extending the revolt time is therefore not possible. Revolt During the revolt, the population of a city is willing to accept you as their new ruler. After all, you have demonstrated with your successful attack that you are a more competent commander than the current ruler of the city. Therefore, if you execute another successful (normal) attack incl. a colony ship during this period, you can take over the city immediately. But there are two things you should know: Even if the population revolts against its present ruler, he still has full access to the polis, he can command and recruit troops and call in support units, which you should of course dispatch before or when your colony ship arrives. And, in this case (unlike with revolt attack), both the land- and the sea battles must be won! Note: you only have 12 hours after the revolt has started to have the colony ship arrive in the contested city. When this time has passed, the owner will succeed to stifle the revolt. (This time frame is not dependent on world's speed.)

Har du blitt erobret?

... og har fienden tatt alt fra deg? Ikke vær redd, på Grepolis betyr det ikke nødvendigvis at verdens ende har kommet for din del. Skulle din vakre by bli tatt fra deg av en annen spiller, vil du få muligheten til å starte opp et nytt rike en annen plass. Vi er selvfølgelig klar over at så snart en starter på nytt igjen, så blir en hengende litt bak de andre.. men vi gjør opp for det ved å plassere din nye by lengre unna de andre spillerne, sånn at dine naboer vil være på samme nivå som deg. Derfor er det å starte på nytt en fin mulighet for deg til å bruke kunnskapen du har samlet deg og kanskje gjøre det enda bedre neste gang.
