Evony is much like Civilization,
except it's 100% free and you play it in your internet browser.
It was repeated ad spammed on surfthechannel.com so I finally said,
'wtf?' and gave it a try. It's pretty fun. The only
downfall of it is that everything is in real time, ie, it takes
anywhere from a few minutes up to hundreds of hours to create
something. The more powerful the thing you are creating the
longer it takes. The good news is that it runs even when you
don't have the browser window open, so you can go in, click on a few
things and then come back a day later. You can set things and
forget them, but it's good to log on every 5 or 6 hours to see how
things are going. The whole goal is to make a city and make
many troops and then march on other cities and either steal their
resources or utterly destroy them. There's all kinds of
magical upgrades that help you, like books that speed up timers and
corselets that improve your defense for 24 hours (there's one that
goes 7 days too) I could ramble and ramble about the game but
I'm not going to. It is slow to start with, but you can get
more than one city, I had 4 and was micromanaging all my
buildings, research and troops for all of them can be time
consuming. Then once you get confident and start attacking
people with thousands of troops that's where the game becomes really
fun. You can march on the cities and take all their stuff and
kill off all their troops. There are alliances to join with up
to 100 people in each alliance to chat with and to help you out.
You can spend money on it to speed things up a bit, but you
certainly don't have to ever pay a cent, ever. There are
different continents to build your city in, and you can create as
many characters as you have emails (ie, infinite), there is no
limit. The graphics are crisp, the overworld map is kinda
shitty and suffers from lag a lot but other than that the graphics
are pretty good for a free game. Anyways give the game a
chance, get over the initial "it sucks I have to wait so long" part
of it and you can have a lot of fun playing this nifty free browser
game. |
