Evony Age 2 Guide

A while ago Foxybunny made a thread in the official Evony forums requesting some feedback on some changes they are planning to make to Evony Age 2. As you probably all know, it is currently not possible to launch normal attacks against other players in Evony Age 2, and many players are not happy with this. It is not possible to conquer other players cities either, like it was in Evony Age 1.

One way Evony is thinking about changing this is to let players choose if they want to be in conquest mode or not, they can change their conquest status on and off as they wish, probably with some delay in between. If your conquest status in turned on you can make normal attacks against other players who also have conquest on, and you can also conquer their cities. Read the rest of this entry »

UPDATE: The E-Book I am recommending now is called the Evony Game Guide: Advanced Strategies for Dominating in Evony, it’s cheaper than before at only $24.95, and it is really good, lots of great information and strategies for Evony Age 2 as well as Age 1. All the links here are pointing to this Evony Game Guide now, and I definitly think you should check it out.

I just have to share this with all you Evony players out there right now. There is lots of information on how to help you become more successful in Evony here at Evony Guide of course, but today I’ve gone through this E-Book, and I must say I was just amazed on how many cool strategies and tips I found there that I haven’t heard anywhere else before.

A new feature of Evony Age II is that you can colonize the city of another player. When you colonize someone you don’t completely own this city, you just have some control over it. To colonize a city you first have to declare war against it, click on the city you wish to colonize and click on the “Declare War” button. Then you have to wait 30 minutes for the war declaring period to end before you can launch your colonization attack.

Click on the city and click “Colonize” launch the colonization attack. You need to attack the city successfully to start the colonization, so make sure you send enough troops to win the battle. There is a certain colonization time before the city becomes your colony, this is called the suppression time and is 8 hours. Read the rest of this entry »

Archers are by far the most popular troop type of Evony Age 2, and it was the same in Age 1. The reason is simply that it is considered the best troop there is. Archers will perform better than pretty much any other troop combination your enemy can send at you. Archers are great both when it comes to PvP and PvE. People have been farming NPCs with archers for a long time, and no other troop performs as good as archers here. When you want to conquer these new historic cities of Evony Age 2, archers are also the way to go.

Both for defense and offense archers are really good, and I suggest you focus mostly on archers when it comes to the basic defense of each of your cities. You need level 4 barracks to build archers, so the first thing you should focus on when you build a new city is to get all the barracks to level 4.

Today there were quite a few changes in how the Facebook applications work together with Evony Age 2. Many people have complained that Facebook had too much influence over gameplay in Evony Age 2. You could get massive armies extremely quickly if you had a lot of Facebook friends playing Evony, and this ruined the game for some players.

Dawnseeker says in a post today that they wanted Facebook to be a fun addition to Evony, not a major component of gameplay. Because of that they have reduced how large the rewards from Facebook are, and also how many gifts you can send other players through Facebook every day. You can find the details of the changes listed below. Read the rest of this entry »

Evony Age 2 is now finally released, and it looks really cool! There are lots of new features to Evony Age 2, and I suggest you take a look at the Evony Age 2 wiki if you want to learn all about them. This week the first 4 servers were started up, and they are called NA1, NA2, NA3 and NA4.

There is also a brand new interface of the main Evony website where you have access to all the Evony servers. You click the big play button on the center of the screen under the new Evony Age 2 logo, and then you get to the server list where you can choose from all the Evony Age 1 and Age 2 servers. I just tried signing up on the NA4 server, and there is plenty of room for new players on that server, so there is room for everyone to start out with Evony Age 2 right now!  Read the rest of this entry »

Evony seems to be getting more and more serious about stopping people from cheating by using third party software to get an edge in the game. Two days ago Evony representative Dawnseeker made a post in the official Evony forum letting everyone know that they had enacted their second enforcement sweep in the past week. He said that both of these sweeps against Evony cheaters targeted players who were using illegal third party software to gain an unfair advantage over players who play the game without cheating.

According to Dawnseeker all players targeted by these sweeps were using illegal third party software or websites to connect to Evony. No players were suspended for any other reason. He also said Evony is committed to protecting their honest players and will continue to aggressively pursue and remove rulebreakers from the game. Read the rest of this entry »
