Hi guys,
1. Start Your Download Now!
Woot! The V2.1.18 patch is available for download now! There are two options of downloads for you over here : http://ge.iahgames.com/en/news/?aid=96&sec=1&ssec=4 - the full game client of V2.1.18 or the manual patch of V2.1.18. Just a quick reminder though, it has been password protected because the server side V2.1.18 patch has not yet been installed. Any attempts to install the patch to your current client will result in game client corruption and your current Granado Espada client will be unable to run. We will release the password on 16th August 2007, after we patch the servers during server maintenance.[/b][/color]

ok, here is a few few sneak peak of the 1st features of 2.1.18 patch that will be implimented this AUG 16th
The Mercenary Contract and Character Trading!so many of us is wondering if its possible, NOW it IS!
Mercenary Contracts allow you to change your characters into character cards, which can then be traded to other players for Vis or other items.
To turn one of your characters into a Mercenary, you must first purchase a Mercenary Permit from the Premium Shop. Then you’ll need to pay a visit to the Mercenary Agent. You’ll find him in Pegadilla, the alleyway in the Port of Coimbra.
The Mercenary agent in Port Of Coimbra will help you create and hire Mercenary characters
Mercenary Contracts: Creating a Mercenary
Mercenary Contracts allow you to change your characters into character cards, which can then be traded to other players for Vis or other items.
To turn one of your characters into a Mercenary, you must first purchase a Mercenary Permit from the Premium Shop. Then you’ll need to pay a visit to the Mercenary Agent. You’ll find him in Pegadilla, the alleyway in the Port of Coimbra.
In order to become a mercenary, the character must:
- Be level 50 or higher
- Not have any items equipped
- Purchase a Mercenary License
You must also have at least one other character in your active party when turn the leader into a mercenary.
NOTE: Turning a character into a Mercenary comes with a penalty of ~20% of that character’s gained experience. For example, a level 100 character would only be about level 94-95 after becoming a mercenary. This experience can be re-gained after they are hired and activated again.
You must purchase a Mercenary Permit from the Premium Shop to convert a character into a mercenary. Once a character becomes a mercenary, you can trade them to other families as a character card
Once these requirements are met, you can change the character to a mercenary character card. The character will retain all skill points, learned stances and stance levels, along with any veteran promotions they may have. The card will appear in your inventory, and can now be traded for items or Vis.
Hiring a Mercenary
In order to create a character from a mercenary card, your team members must at least be level 30. Once you obtain a mercenary character card from another family, visit the Mercenary agent to activate that character in your family.
To create a Character from a Mercenary Contract, you must have 100,000 Vis, a Mercenary Contract (the character’s Mercenary card), and an open space in your Barracks. Visit the Mercenary agent and select the option to hire a mercenary character. A creation window will appear.
Drag the card into the open slot to see the mercenary character’s details. You can also click a button to see their stance details before creating them. Enter the name you wish the new character to have and click “Create a Character.” The character has now been employed in your family.
The new character will carry your assigned first name and your family name. They will be created with no items, but will retain all stances, stance EXP and veteran promotions earned with their previous family. However they will only have ~80% of their previous overall EXP.
With the Mercenary System, you can now trade or sell away unwanted characters, and buy or trade for new characters without having to do all your own training.

and this is the 2nd sneak feature!
The Party Elections!
now its up to your people to elect your leader! wow! now this is what we call POLITICS! though the game itself is originally a POLITICAL online game since the birth of the korean version.
Currently every player has a leader character and, if they belong to a faction, a faction leader. V2.1.18 raises the bar of leadership, opening a position for political party leaders!
Since such a powerful position shouldn’t be determined by any simple method, these leaders will be elected by YOU, the playing community.
Each Party leader will be awarded a special item, and the leader of the dominant party will collect all market deposits as a tax.
You can now elect the future leaders of Granado Espada!
Here’s how it works:
Each political party will have one leadership position available. The Republican Leader carries the title of President, while the Royalist leader carries the title of Duke.
To be eligible for the top position, a player must be:
1) A Faction Leader
2) The Faction’s Level must be 52
3) The Faction must have a Party Affiliation
Players may only run or vote for the positions within their party. Politically unaffiliated players will not be able to participate in the election.
For a set period of time (check the website for updates!), party members will be able to make nominations for the top position. Once the nomination period has ended, the voting can begin. Voting is done by clicking on the election box located in Reboldeoux.
Once voting concludes, the winners will be announced to all in the server. Party members will receive a more detailed message about the election results, which includes the top 3 finishers and the votes acquired.
The Dominant Party:
The Importance of Colony War
Whichever party holds the majority of territories in Granado Espada following the weekly colony war will be named the dominant party. What does this have to do with the elections? Everything!
The Leader of the dominant party will immediately be named Chancellor of Granado Espada, and will collect all market deposits as tax.
