Evony Strategy Guide

I know there are lots of Evony bots, city management scripts and other types of tools out there for Evony. I’ve written about these cheats for Evony before in various articles on this website, but I’ve decided to stop doing so now. With Evony Age II coming out soon I believe it is much better to try to get rid of this bot problem. I believe Evony Age II looks really good, and I hope bots and city management scripts won’t be as much of a problem in this new version of Evony, as it has been in the old one. Many of these bots and script don’t even work anymore anyways, and to my knowledge there are no tools like these that work for Evony Age II. Read the rest of this entry »

There are five different positions in an Evony alliance. All members in an alliance start out as a standard member, they can’t do anything special in the alliance apart from quitting the alliance. If they quit they will loose 10% of their prestige, this goes for any type of alliance member.

The next rank in the alliance is the officer. They have the permission to accept new members to an alliance, but they can not promote any members to higher positions. They can also send out alliance invitations. There can be a total of 10 officers in an alliance, the total number of any kind of member in an Evony alliance is 100. Read the rest of this entry »

Controlling your gates and deciding when to open your gate to fight is an important aspect of Evony. Some form of attacks work very well on your city when your gates are open, and some work very well when your gates are closed. All this assumes that you have filled up your wall with fortifications of course, but most cities will be filled up with that within a week after they are built. I suggest mostly archer towers and some traps and abatis as well.

If your city is well defended you usually want to have your gates open at all times. If you have your gates closed other players can easily run in with 100k archers and destroy all your archers towers and traps. Then they can send in some cavalry to take out your abatis and leave your city with no fortifications left at all. They will also most likely have taken a huge chunk of your honor in the process. Fortifications takes quite a while to rebuild so you don’t want this to happen to you. Read the rest of this entry »

In browser game Evony there are 5 ranks a player can have in an alliance, that is member, officer, presbyter, vice host and host. The officer is then, as you can see, the second lowest rank you can have in an alliance. There can be up to 10 officers in an alliance, so as long as you are fairly active in your alliance chances are you will eventually be awarded the rank of officer. An officer doesn’t have too many privileges in the alliance compared to a normal member. The main thing he can do which a normal member can’t,  is to invite new members to join the alliance. He can also accept and cancel pending applications. Read the rest of this entry »

The dynamite in Evony is very useful when you want to get rid of a high level building quickly. You don’t need a dynamite to get rid of a building in Evony, but it really does speed things up to demolish buildings with dynamites. To get rid of a high level building you need to click downgrade on it each time for each level of the building. This can take a long time if you have many high level buildings that you want to get rid of. Say if you want to demolish 15 cottages from a level 10 NPC city you have just conquered, you would have to click downgrade 150 times, 10 times for each level 10 cottage!

So what is allowed in Evony when it comes to account sharing and having multiple accounts? Evony representative Dawnseeker made an update to the Evony account rules last week, and this just just a quick summary of what he said.

Playing a single account from multiple locations is allowed. I think we all knew that. So you can log in to your account from whatever location you want to. He also said that account sitting was allowed, I didn’t know this to be honest. What this means is that you can have someone log into your account and play it for you while you are away on vacation. During this time you are not allowed to log in to your account, and you also have to tell an Evony representative about this before you do so. Read the rest of this entry »

Many players have complained that they don’t like the way Evony’s official forum is moderated and threads are closed. They are that way too often interesting threads are locked by the moderators or game admins without important questions being answered, or various concerns pointed out in the thread being addressed. A few days ago someone made a post called “A Gold Star for Evony” in the general discussion forum. He complained that admins leave totally unhelpful replies in threads and then closing them down way too often.

In this case it was a thread about botting they closed down, which is a topic I understand the game admins don’t want to be discussed. The interesting part however is that they actually replied to the closing of threads complaints from players and made the “A Gold Star for Evony” thread a sticky. I think it’s great that the Evony admins take time to answer complaints like these. On page 5 in this thread vise development director Thalin Athasian says this. Read the rest of this entry »
