Introduction

Welcome to my Grepolis Blog!

I'll start off with a little bit about me and my experience. To date, I've played for over 2 1/2 years. In that time, I have played in the following worlds (in order of occurrence). Athens, Omicron, Actium, Achilles, Delos (where I'm currently playing) and Cythera. As you can see, I have many famous worlds under my belt and much knowledge and experienced gain. Throughout those worlds I've led several alliances. In Athens I led the SPARTAN 300 academy alliance with a member count of over 120 and was considered 4th in command when we joined back up with the original SPARTAN 300. In Actium, I founded my own alliance and did quite well till real life commitments forced me to abandon it. And lastly, in Delos, where our team (collaboration of 4 teams that came together for the end) won with all 7 WW's, I was in the alliance leadership/council, the official op planner, and leader of an elite strike team that had minimal losses and countless gains. Also worthy of mention are the 19 Attacker of the Day awards that I have received in Delos while actively leading the ops by example and my strike group.

Through all of that fighting and the +2 years I've played, I have NEVER bought gold. This just goes to prove just what you can do without the extra expense if you put your mind to it and make sure everything is absolutely necessary and has a purpose while trying to avoid any unnecessary losses. (I will go into more detail about this in later posts)

That all being said, I never consider myself too "elite" or "experienced" to learn something new or to be taught something. This is the key concept to increasing your playing skill and your ability to do well and interact easily with your fellow alliance members. I actually started out in Athens a total noob, no idea how to play and in the middle of a circle of very active and aggressive enemies. But thanks to the patience, mentoring, and advice of the SPARTAN 300 leadership, I quickly caught on and rose through the ranks quickly. This is not to boast or to make myself look good, but just to convey my experience and to show the value of good mentoring and teaching. Thanks to those guys, I am now what I am today.

So enough about me and my background and back the the introduction. Throughout this blog, I will strive to explain the knowledge and experience that I have gained in ways that I hope everyone can understand and take advantage of. There are many tips and tricks that I've learned, some very simple, some very complicated. But hopefully they all will be understandable. If there are any questions, please just leave a comment below the topic which you have a question about and I'll try to answer it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the blog :)
