I am sure that during the last week or so have seen the ads Evony around the world, I know that there are probably a sign now. Well after watching a million times or so I decided what the hell, I'm not playing any MMO right now, so let's take a look.
Evony is a free browser based MMORTS game in game 2 where slowly build your city and try to expand their territory. Recruit Evony here. The game starts with an empty city, with only one City Council and its work is to build a city striving to build an army and conquer other lands. Each time you do anything in the game, build a structure, the investigation of a new technology, its army in March, a timer showing how long it will take. For example, the creation of a headquarters could take 5 minutes, but each additional layer will have more time and more time. Currently in my barracks lev5 for the next update I will have 1 hour 29 minutes.
City Building
Evony restricts the construction of the building at 1 per city, so if you do not have the resources to build or improve the construction of more than 1 at a time. I'm really a big fan of this system because it no longer depends on how long you play the game, rather than how often you play. Checking up on the fly a couple of times a day you much more than someone sitting there for 2 hours live. No queue for construction, so you'll have to manually select each property and build or upgrade your account. Each its own territory is divided into two parts, the city and the city.
The city is composed of all residential, commercial and military construction, such as the Town Hall, Market, barracks, academy, etc., and is protected by the castle walls. The city is outside the walls of protection and contains the resort buildings, farms, forests, and mines of iron quarrys.Basically it works like any other RTS game you've ever played. You gather resources to build or improve buildings, research technology and build an army.
City Management and hero
In addition to the resources and only the construction and upgrading things, there is also the management of the city. It does not get too complicated and you can learn everything you need to know in about 5-10 minutes. City Management refers to its tax rate, making the population remains loyal and allocation of a mayor of their city.
Once you've created an Inn, you can hire a hero units that can lead their army or become a mayor. Each unit has 3 Hero statistics, political, and intelligence attack. A hero with the highest political means your resource production is higher in cities so that a larger attack means that his army have a higher attack rating. Intelligence shortens the time needed for the investigation of a new technology. This can be seen that some are better suited hero as mayor than as a whole.
Once you have a hero and the army, which will begin to eat resources. A hero must be paid a monthly fee and an army will have to eat what they'll start losing their food resources. If you're out of the army is to attack the food lost twice as fast, so we always make sure to back its troops as quickly as possible once they have completed their mission.
As your city grows, gain prestige points which is basically a rating of their cities and how they compare with other players. You also have a ranking and the title, the higher the rank and title of the most control.
Combat
Once you have created an army that is ready to attack, however it is important to explore the area first to determine the strength of your opponent. Once you've explored the area, you'll find exactly how many and what kind of troops are there. If you feel unsure, you can attack.
In the next image, I am attacking an open field to receive a bonus of 7% of my production of stone during the time that I have that area.
As much fun as attacking people and the NPC is, the combat system is completely f * cked up scense zero and makes the point that almost ruins the whole game. Let me explain.
Yesterday they attacked the same place twice, because I was farming for remuneration medals. Medals are used to reward their hero or promotion missions, which I will go into later. Here is the defending force both armys attacks.
Army
Warriors 142 (very weak unit)
32 archers
48 Pikemen
I had my first attack:
Attack 1
115 archers
I won the fight, but lost 65 archers.
Attack 2
25 Swordmen
20 Pikemen
115 Archers
The results? I lost not only 65 archers, but all my swordmen and pikemen. WTF? That makes no sense, how can a small army of archers only do better? After a couple of melee attacks, I realized that the units are 100% useless, it only increased their victims and waste so that its resources have been building since only archer armies.
I have also read in forums that there are important issues Evony balance when attacking the castle walls. As far as I'm concerned the combat system is sh * t needs to be completely redone.
Special Items and medals
Evony use microtransaction business model for making money, so there are many items that can be bought with real money, to help you throughout the game. Topics range from things that subtract time to build, ranging from 15 minutes to 8 hours and 30% reduction in construction times. Other items in production or increase the combat effectiveness for a certain amount of time. There are medals to be gained with the conquest of land, these medals can be used both to boost the statistics of your hero or you promote through promotion missions.
Missions
There are missions in Evony But progress is only missions. For example, the City Council reaches level 5 and you get 10000 prestige points. I like to think of them as accomplishments rather than tasks.
Conclusion
After a few days of playing I can say that I am enjoying this game much more than I thought it was a. Working in front of a computer all day, it gives me something nice to do and really does not take much time to play. I have a dual monitor setup, so we have Evony on a screen and you can see when the time spent, so you can choose what I do. This is not a time sink for the type of game, it's like kind of control of their email or Facebook a couple of times a day, 2-3 minutes and that is good to go. But they have to fix the combat system is retarded and can destroy the game if not a fixed amount of time resonated.
