Useful Tools

Below are a few tools/sites that I found most helpful. Notice, when using grepostats and grepointel, you'll need to make sure the world you want is selected or you won't get the results your expecting.

grepostats.com
- this site contains...

  • alliance rankings 
  • player ranking 
  • unit stats 
  • building stats
  • building population calculator
  • unit calculator (great for figuring out how many units to build + transports and LS escort)


grepointel.com
- I relied on this site for most of my intelligence.

  • Nice player stats and conquest records
  • Keeps a fairly accurate online-offline bar graph on each player (easily manipulated though)
  • has a Time on Target calculator (great for finding which attack out of many is most likely the CS)
  • Target Planner (once you select your target city it shows you the TT's from friendly cities or enemy cities to the target. So good for showing who has what in the area and how far away it is. Used it a lot when trying to get a close range CS in to see how far away enemy BR nukes that we knew about were)
  • Most importantly this site is set up in a way that you can take a report from in-game and add that info to a players "record". It keeps a list of each players cities and allows you to input intel about each city. Then, with the map generator, you can view on the map where each city is, and if you mouse over the city, a pop up box will show you the name, points, alliance and any intel you entered on that city. It also has the ability to create intelligence groups where you can choose to share intel with fellow members. Picture Illustration This is definitely a MUST HAVE!) (refer to Advanced Tips and Tricks to read how to get the most out of it)
  • Can generate a signature to go on your external grepolis forum profile

- the map function of grepointel.com, another Must Have!


- this is where I learned about the main mechanics for grepolis and got started off on the right foot. Would definitely recommend this to ANYONE new to the game or under 1 year of experience. (hey, even us veterans can learn a thing or two if we're willing to adapt)

http://grepolis.potusek.eu/
- this is an extension that you can install on chrome. It adds an attack alarm, enables you to save your wall, cool little emoticons you can use in PM's and on the in-game forums, and bunch of other cool things. Best part is, its free! (may require you to download tampermonkey first as I  can't remember if it needed anything else to run or not)
