Conquista Trácia

The event "The Thracian Conquest" is a whole new type of event in Grepolis. Some insurgents started to cause chaos in the Thracian realm. This is a good opportunity for you to bring peace to the lands by leading an army of mercenaries against the rebels and to come by some good loot on top of that.

The campaign map

The raid against the Thracian realm is shown as a map on which you can see all the different battlegrounds. Each battleground is marked with a symbol depending on its status:

Symbol	Meaning
	This battleground can be attacked by your mercenaries.
	The battleground has been attacked recently and some time has to pass before new rebels arrive at the batleground.
	You have not yet progressed enough to attack this battleground. You need to beat the previous battlefield at least once.
	There is still a collectable reward on this battleground. You won't be able to attack this battleground until you have claimed your loot.

From time to time you will be given the opportunity to choose between two paths. It is up to you to decide which rewards you are aiming for!

Battle against the rebels

If you select a battleground that can be attacked, the attack window will open up. The rebels that are present there and their strength will be displayed at the bottom, and you can select your own Thracian mercenaries in the upper part of the window.

Please keep in mind that each battleground has its own limit on how many units you can use. If you have more mercenaries under your command than the battleground allows, you have to make a tactical decision which type of unit and how many you want to send into battle. Each Thracian unit has its own strengths and weaknesses against specific units. An example:

Tribal Axmen deal 50% additional damage against Peltasts. If there are 50 enemy Peltasts at the battleground and you have 70 Tribal Axmen at your disposal, it is a good idea to select 50 Tribal Axmen. The damage bonus does not count for surplus Tribal Axmen. Let's assume the battleground limits you to use 80 mercenaries, you can then use the remaining 30 slots (50 are already occupied by the 50 Tribal Axmen you selected) according to your personal taste. However, it wouldn't be wise to send Spear Throwers as the enemy Peltasts would deal extra damage against the Spear Throwers!

As you can see, quite a bit of strategic thinking is asked for.

Should you be victorious, you will receive the respective reward of that battleground. Alternatively you can leave the reward at the battleground until the end of the event to claim it at any later point in time. If you collect your reward, rebels will repopulate the battleground again after 4 hours, but every time their forces will be even stronger than before. This way you can repeatedly get the same reward whereas the challenge continues to rise.

Another noteworthy feature is that, even if you are defeated when attacking the rebels, the casualties on the enemy side are permanent. This means that you can wear down the enemy with many smaller attacks until you are finally victorious.

Hércules

O próprio, o famoso e imponente herói alia-se às suas forças para restabelecer a ordem nos Reinos Trácios. Quando atacar um campo rebelde, Hércules poderá ajudá-lo neste ataque, elevando a moral dos seus mercenários e poder de combate em 20%. Após sua ação heroica, ele precisará descansar por 12 horas, para que assim se recupere. Contudo, você pode motivá-lo para voltar à batalha, desde que utilize Ouro para tal.

Os mercenários trácios

Embora você inicie sua jornada de conquista com alguns mercenários (que são entregues a você por Tenia, líder dos mercenários), você não deve manter somente estes guerreiros. As atividades a seguir do jogo o ajudarão a encontrar novos grupos de mercenários de forma aleatória, de tal forma que o permita a construir uma tropa mais forte:

• Atacando e defendendo
• Recrutando unidades
• Pesquisas
• Construção de edifícios
• Lançando feitiços

Caso encontre um grupo de mercenários, 8-12 combatentes aleatórios se juntarão às suas forças (Peltastas, machadeiros tribais, lançadores de dardos, condutores de elefantes e guerreiros veteranos). Tenha em mente que você pode encontrar no máximo 10 grupos de mercenários por dia. É claro que você pode, além disto, comprar com Ouro 10 mercenários que permanecerão com você até o fim do evento.

Se os seus mercenários estiverem severamente feridos, isto não é motivo para descartá-los. Por que? A cada 7 horas um curandeiro passará pelo acampamento dos seus mercenários, para cuidar de cada um deles. Caso deseje ter seu exército pronto para ação o quanto antes, você pode pagar com Ouro ao curandeiro, para que ele chegue imediatamente.
