New to Grepolis? Build a city that can grow and defend itself. The exact order depends on world speed, so follow priorities rather than a rigid list.
Secure the basics
Develop timber, stone and silver production according to your next costs. Keep farm population and warehouse capacity high enough for planned buildings and troops.
Unlock useful options
The Senate manages construction, the Academy researches technologies, the Barracks recruits land units and the Harbour builds ships. Research is city-specific, so decide whether your first city will focus on attack, defence or expansion.
Learn before expanding
Use reports and the Agora simulator to understand combat. Culture and world rules govern when you can add cities. Continue with economy, culture and the full guide.
