subject: The Evony Experience [print this page] Well the catch is not what you would feel it is, Evony IS no cost, and fully functional for free of charge. Not like those no cost downloads which are basically just "teasers". The catch is that Evony is addictive, but in a good way. Other than being able to build cities (I now have two, and thriving extremely well thanks to a good deal of help from my Alliance), command armies, and conquer valleys, the best part is that I get to make close friends with some of the most fun folks all over the globe.
There are two techniques to carry out building your town: the primary would be to toughen up your defenses very first (create walls and fortifications), or go on the offensive and develop up a kicking army. Most everybody in my Alliance believe that warehouses are almost useless, and have up to 12 barracks inside their cities. We're also regarded as as one of the friendlier Alliances at that.
We also all agree in getting the level of Informatics high as soon as feasible. This keeps other persons from understanding what you are as much as. When some higher prestige player (greater prestige = bigger army, my prestige level is scary sufficient to novices, but not nearly high enough to be considered as one of the "Big Boys" on my server) is scouting you, this may put them off for a although until you are able to get enable or teleport out of there.
You can find nights that I stay up late to have a chat with folks about "Screaming Ladies" (what one ally and I call our warriors), or anything at all. You will discover also instances when it is possible to feel a great deal of tension when a single of one's good friends is having attacked, and folks in my Alliance have turn out to be true pros in reinforcing. If you're starting out and you do not know what the embassy is for, it's for the allies' troops when they come to visit. Some players like training troops in large batches, that takes longer but you get the whole batch in a single big shebang. I like training them in smaller numbers at distinct barracks.
Yet another thing that I like about Evony is the fact that you'll be able to basically get a whole lot of work done even though you're waiting for the troops to get trained, or the results of your attack on a Barbarian Town or resource valley(or one more player) or a structure to have built up. It puts some players off, but it provides me with time to step back into the genuine world, otherwise I'd be sitting on my ass all day clicking at tabs and buttons.
I clean out my resources on one large construct prior to I sleep or go out, and come back with a nice leveled up building, or additional defensive measures, or greater research later. It's also a fine way to keep yourself from acquiring plundered, if your Archer Towers are the same number as the resources in your town, chances are other persons will leave you alone.
I'm glad that my primary on the net gaming experience was with Evony, and that I get to understand new stuff everyday. All of the Evony tips I have received while playing has helped as well. I recently picked up a excellent Evony guide as well which has helped me immensely.
