This document provides several proposals for improvements to the Grepolis game from a former Danish Grepolis team member. The proposals include:
1) Combining the smaller Nordic markets (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) into a single larger market to increase the number of active players.
2) Better utilizing Facebook to promote the game, inform players, and run competitions to attract more players in Scandinavia.
3) Fixing bugs and adding missing features to the mobile app, including premium activation and forum editing.
4) Allowing players to resize windows in the game for more efficient screen usage.
5) Adding an optional trade route system or "Blacksmith" building to streamline
2. Introduction
〉 Hello my name is Jeppe Anderson i'm af former member of the
danish grepolis team. I have played grepolis since the beginning.
〉 The proposals you are about to see - Comes from both me and
serveral other players, who wish for improvements.
〉 I have been having a dialogue with Aladin CM also about
suggestions for improvements.
〉 I sincerily hope that you will consider some of the improvements and
suggestions for the game and the developement on the market.
〉 I will talk about proposals for optimizing the danish/other smaller
markets. Facebook Fixes for the App, Bugs,Fixes in general. And
more advanced proposals for game changes both in general and in
graphics.
3. The small markets
〉 I have made the proposal before years
ago along with other players. You
should consider gathering the nordic
markets to one
market(Denmark,Norway,Sweeden)
The markets induvidually are incedebly
small which kind a ruin the experience,
due to few active players. Typically in
dk the nubmer of active players fast
get below 250 players. gathering the
markets it would properbly be about
1000+ instead. Lower costs for Inno,
better experience to the players on the
serveres. This worse today than in
recent yerars. It would give a more
dynamic game experience If here were
more players. We Need You!
4. Facebook
〉 I will bet you, that most of your
target groupe uses facebook.
specially in Scandinavia.
〉 Use that advandtage be better at
branding Grepolis, and use it to
inform players on what is going
on. To few people reads and
comment the official danish
grepolis forum today sad to say it.
This would be an effective way to
target the user groupe who
spends a lot of time on facebook.
〉 Make events competions
especially around new server
openings.
Make people join.
Urge players to help.
5. Improvements and Fixes for the APP
〉 Missing featurers:
〉 Premium:(Overview Adminstrator were are the functions you
paid for?)
〉 Premium activation: Neither can you activate functions even
when you have gold on the account makes no sense.
〉 Edit functions in Alliance forum is missing ect..
〉 Bug: The premium function here can't
schroll on to comander and Captain.
6. General proposals part 1 - Windows
〉 I am missing a funcion in the
windows in the game, so you can
stretch them or make the smaller.
For saving space on the platform.
〉 It's nice to have more windows
open at once, but as it is today a
bit anoying with all the widows
beeing this large, with out the
posibility to make them smaller.
7. General proposals part 2 - Trade
routes
〉 It could be very nice and time saving if
you implanted a trade route option as
a premium option for example. A bit
like what the ANNO game is doing.
〉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=DhgbqTCNlQo
〉 Why? simple it takes a lot of time to
send resurces from town to town. And
It would be easier to make nukes citys.
with example offensive units as the
Slinger if the Amount of raw materials
in the city was more stable for that
purpous. due to a trade route.
〉 You should of cause be able to pause
or delete a trade route.
8. General Proposals part 3 - New Building
The Black Smith
〉 It couold be nice with a new building
here and then, and this is a proposal
for one.
〉 I was thinking that A building such as
the The black smith should be used to
upgrading the weapons of the different
unit types. For further attack or
defence bonuses for the induvidual
units.
〉 You could implant this in different
ways. You could make this cost
resurces, culture points/levels.
〉 Or only giving the player the option for
specialising in few unit types not them
all so they will have to chose a bit like
what you are doing in the academy.
9. General proposals part 4 - Graphics
〉 It could be cooul if you improved
the graphics on the maps so you
could se trading ships sailing the
sees and your fleets traveling to
their destinations. Could just be a
small icon
〉 Also for trading and attacking
missions and villages on the
islands.
