Greetings once more from Mount Olympus!

He's here! He's arrived! And, he's mad! Ares, god of war, has descended from Mount Olympus to join his paramour in the world of Grepolis. Ares will wreak havoc on world Sandbox 20, which opens on Friday 12th . Of course, Ares brings with him new spells and mythical units. Read on to find out what's in store for the beta release of one of the most requested gods by our community of the entire pantheon.

Ares is the god of war.
Entire armies collapse at his feet in fear, his skills in combat know no equal. His most devout followers give their lives not only for the glory of a good death, but in the name of Ares himself, feeding his might and fury. A master of military tactics, he imbues warriors with the power of his most devoted martyrs, granting them unparalleled strength.
Spells
Much like his fellow deities, Ares introduces 4 new spells. However, he also introduces a new and unique resource type, Fury. Fury works similarly to god favor, but is unique to Ares. Fury can be gained by using Ares' spells listed below, and utilized to make the most of his devastating powers. Check out the table below for full details of his 4 spells. Fury is capped at a maximum of 5000.

Attacking targets with higher population than the
combined population of all Ladons ,
increases all Ladon’s offensive power in this attack.
For every 10 population difference,
Ladon’s offensive power increase by 30% (up to 150%).
Additionally, all other units in this attack gain 1%
attack power per Ladon (up to 10%; this does not stack with
Ladon’s offensive power increase).
Spartois take only 1 population space in transport ships.

We hope you're as excited as we are to test out this release of gargantuan prortions! Please leave any feedback in the feedback thread! And, don't forget to post any bugs you find in our bugs section!

Your Grepolis Team.
