Move to General Discussion as it is concerning Evony and Civony, not Off-Topic. Thank you :)
Grrr... Ghost cut me off. I said in my post that was supposed to be there.. Because Evony is a better name.
Because Civony was making people come up with the idea that it was stolen from Civilization. Also, I think that the game's ownership had changed so they wanted a new name for their game.
who owns evony?
That isn't allowed to be said here.
I like the name civony better, has a ring to it ya know?
When Evony was suffering from mass-criticism, one of the most prominent criticisms was that Civony was a ripoff of Sid Meier's Civilization, "going so far as to copy the name." We all know that's not true, as Evony is way better, but I infer that this was [one of] the cause[s].
I believe it is a company that goes by 'Regan Mercantile' or something...
just an educated guess...
We can spam if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't spam
And if they don't spam
Well they're no friends of mine
Say, we can post where we want to
A thread where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Because you're one far behind
Spazam! Wow...
Evony is owned by Evony LLC and licensed to Regan Mercantile. Both are US companies. The owner of Evony prefers not to have his/her name splattered around the internet because of some pretty horrid personal privacy violations made against employees here, and even against others we have no association with. Can't blame the owner a bit for that, as far as I'm concerned. You have to think of things like the safety of your children when some gamer decides to go psycho when you ban him for botting.
Hey!
I was not spamming.
I was derailing!
lol kidding...but not realy
I would contend that it is of the same genre as Civilization adapted for mass internet. I would also say that certainly the name "Civony" is a clever play on the name.
I have seen "civi" go from a board game not much more complicated than Risk...through various types of computer versions from single play to multi player..including way back a version that allowed somewhere like 6-8 to play real time on the internet.
I don't actually know..but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a legal grey area using a name so close to Civilization for a game that is clearly influenced a great deal by it.
Don't get me wrong. I am NOT calling Evony a "rip off" at all. However denying the roots of this genre would be an injustice.
I have played all the versions of civi and thousands of other related games over the past 35 years. I love them all. One day we will be able to REALLY do a proper MMPWG like 99% of you have never seen, once the problems with internet and computers finally catch up to the more complicated board games from years and years ago. I am sure I will see it in my lifetime.
Evony clearly has some problems and balancing issues, however the basic framework and structure is REALLY cutting edge. One of the best. Looking forward for more.
Once someone solves the real time tactical game and properly figures out how to merge it with the real time strategic and make it possible on a mass browser platform..now THAT will be when I need counciling for addiction!
Think of it......moving those troops real time on a battlefield ..added with all the same strategic and economic aspects of the game we have now! woo hoo!
