Premium

Premium er en funktion af spillet, der tillader en spiller er modtage visse in-game fordele gennem brug af forskellige rådgivere, halvering af bygningstider, rekruttering af enheder og forskning ved akademiet. Det tillader dig også at modtage kulturpoint og at tilkalde den Fønikiske handlende til en by af eget valg. Hver af disse funktioner koster guld. Følgende tekst vil forklare hvordan du kan få guld og også hvilke fordel premium kan give.

Guld

Der er flere måder hvorpå du kan modtage guld. Hver af dem er forskellige og giver forskelligt antal. Disse er:

• Købe dem
• Optjene dem
• Inviter en ven

Bemærk: Guld er ikke bundet til en specifik verden. Ethvert køb af guld vil være tilgængelige i alle de verdener du spiller på (givet af disse spilles under samme navn).

Køb af guld

Når du åbner premium vinduet vil du se tre faner - Anvend, Køb, og Fordele. Under Køb fanen vil du være i stand til at vælge hvor mange stykker guld, du ønsker at købe. Sørg for at du har sat møntfoden til den, der bruges hvor du befinder dig. Du vil være i stand til at vælge hvilken metode du ønsker at købe ved. Efter du har valgt betalingsmetode skal du blot følge instruktionerne, der gives i de følgende vinduer. Ved gennemførsel bør du modtage en rapport, der fortæller dig, at du har modtaget dit guld.

Optjening af guld

Ligesom ved køb af guld, skal du starte ved at gå til Køb fanen i premiumvinduet. I stedet for at vælge antallet af guld, du ønsker at købe, skal du derimod trykke på Tjen din guldmønter knappen. Dette vil give dig en liste over alle nuværende tilbud, der er tilgængelige. Dette gøres i samarbejde med SponserPay, et eksternt firma, der giver kreditere din konto med guld. Dette kan dog tage en del længere tid end blot at købe guldmønterne. Du vil modtage en rapport, der fortæller dig, at du har modtaget guldet, når de er blevet krediteret til dig.

Invitation af ven

Dette er en ny funktion og tillader spillere at invitere nye spillere til spillet. Nye spillere er defineret som spillere, der ikke har spillet Grepolis før og ikke har en konto på en anden verden. Skulle en inviteret spiller nå 1.000 point, så er rekrutøren i stand til at hente en bonus på 200 guldmønter for deres anstrengelser. (spillere der deler en internet forbindelse vil ikke være i stand til at hente denne belønning). Der er tre måder at invitere spillere til spillet på: ved email, med et direkte link, eller gennem bannere på hjemmesider.

Email & Direkte Link

Med disse muligheder kan du vælge om du vil starte dine venner med at placere dem på en bestemt ø, eller at tillade dem at starte på et bestemt sted, eller ved at placere deres by tilfældigt. Disse metoder er ret lige til og tillader en spiller at begynde deres rejse i Grepolis meget hurtigt.

Web Banner

Web Banner virker på en anden måde, da de ikke er direkte rettet med en specifik person. Da enhver spiller kan placere et banner på en hjemme, er disse bannere oprettet specifik til den inviterende person. Denne metode tillader dig ikke at invitere spillere til at vælge en position til nye spillere, men tillader en spiller at optjene mere gold, da flere personer vil se linket.

Rådgivere

Rådgivere
Forvalter	Handlende	Ypperstepræstinde	Øverstbefalende	Kaptajn

Under premium på sidebaren, vil du finde muligheden for at få hjælp af de 5 rådgivere i spillet. Hver af disse rådgivere giver dig og din by forskellige fordele. For at bruge disse rådgivere, skal du aktivere disse ved at bruge guld for at aktivere dem.

Forvalter

Forvalter

Forvalteren støtter dig gennem din udbygning og organisation af et større Imperium. Med denne hjælp kan du tilføje 5 yderligere konstruktionsordre til bygningskøen og modtage detaljerede råstof-, enhed-, handel-, kultur-, gude-, hule- og byoversigter. Han vil også give dig adgang til kvikbaren'. Spillere bliver givet en gratis prøve på denne rådgiver i 24 timer, efter de får deres anden landsby.

Quick Bar

This bar is quite useful and probably the single best reason to activate the Administrator. The bar is completely customizable and can be edited with a wide variety of java scripts to give instant access to different parts of your city.

Additional Premium Features

In addition to the 5 advisors, there are a few other premium features that can help give an advantage to players in the game. These features can be categorized as follows: Reductions, Summoning, and Cultural.

Reduction Features

The reduction feature can be used for either buildings, troops, or research. Each reduction feature costs only 20 gold per use, and will reduce the remaining time in half.

Building Time

This feature has been around since the beginning of the game, and many players have found it useful when starting on a new world or building up a newly captured city. There is no restriction on how many times a player can reduce the remaining time, except when there is only 1 second remaining.

Recruitment Time

As of version 2.07 and starting from World Chi onwards for Grepolis.en, you now have an option to instantly cut recruitment times in half, similar to reducing building times. However, there are some limitations:

• You may only use the "cut recruitment time" feature a limited number of times for each group of units being built. A complex formula is used to work out a non-reduceable time, which must remain after using the "cut recruitment time" feature. This formula is:
• (Units building x "20 seconds")- *lapsed time to push reduction* = unreduceable time
  • Note that the 20 seconds is dependant on world speed. For example, on speed 2 it will be 10 seconds and so on.

Research Time

With the introduction of Grepolis 2.0, you are now able to reduce research times in half. Like the feature for reducing build times, there is no restriction on this feature, unless you are down to 1 second.

Summon Phoenician Trader

Through the Harbour window, you will be able to summon the Phoenician Trader instantly to any harbour of your choice. This will cost 50 gold per summoning, and so it can get quite costly if used frequently.

Olympic Games

While not a purely premium feature, the Olympic Games is an event which can help you to gain additional Culture Points. To host the Olympic Games, you need to have a Level 30 Academy and at least 50 gold. Each Olympic Games last for a total of 24 hours and grants you one additional Culture Point.

Vacation Days

For the cost of 50 gold, a player can purchase additional vacation days. A total of 14 days can be purchased. For more information about this go to the Vacation Mode page.
