New items or accidentally added? Their only on certain servers so far.
What servers?
Ok just checked on 167. Lubans ax seems alright only really useful for a new server. Pretty pointless for old servers. On the other hand War teleporter seems great. Although you can just cap the NPC next to the enemy.
On S163 there is a new speedup guideline avaliable "MasterWork Of The StoneCutter"
costs 150cents and speeds up construction by 50%
On SS67 there's nothing new
When did all this happen?
Maybe its a Beta test by evony..lol
Also: Nothing new on 169
I took a look at those new items, and I really wish it was on my server. :3
Master Work of the Stonecutter is now on server 169, so i'm guessing it will be on all servers by now. I still can't grasp the fact evony would release new items without promoting them. Thats what making money is all about, right? Coming up with bigger and better things and promoting them so they will sell. As of now i have not noticed the "War Teleporter" or "Luban's Axe", but maybe after them will evony promote them. The reason i post this is, maybe there will be more items to follow. I just remember that when Bernini's Hammer was released, they posted a thread about it.
It's a exciting time to play Evony, seems like every time I check they are making great updates and changes. And its happening at a fast pace.
You can tell that they are in tune with game to. I mean first the comforting change, then the truce fix, a few little things in between like no prestige drop for dropping alliance and war promoting items. Now 50% reduction time of contruction/research, its exacaly what the game needed.
Bottom line is the game is so much better than it was 6 months ago, now honestly i can't even think of anything that would make the game better. Big props to the Evony staff, you can tell they are listening to the community and putting a lot of thought into improvements.
I would agree. But the 50% construction/research business is just plain ridiculous. It's only 20 cents more than the 30% item. As if coiners didn't already have a retarded edge... Which I understand is the point of coining, but their just widening the gap.
Luban's axe, pointless. Who doesn't bot anymore, let's just be realistic. War teleporters? I won't be buying them. Regular teleporters are free and just as good. I think I'll save the money and the cool down and just continue to cav cap/port out npcs in full states, thanks.
So yes, other than these retarded items, Evony does seem to be trying to do something decent.
I don't even know what lubans axe and war teleporters do, can u post it? How long does the 50% contruction/research last for? 1 day or 1 week?
I see that speedup doing the opposite though, it puts less value on coins as other speedups just became so much more expensive compared to it. It see it being more of a required item like excalibur. Research/contruction time is so long, i think shortening the time is good for the game, as u can progress from building to war 50% faster. So less downtime more war. Not only that but it puts people that spend very little on much closer ground that those that spend a lot. It takes a big part of the advantage away from coins.
The overall theme and direction they are taking is moving it from farming/building to war. Every change almost that they made is promoting war, its great and how it should be.
yea the war teleporter is essentially the lazy mans adv port lol
lol, it's a speedup, like any other speedup. Idk how you think it works.
Luban's axe lets you queue two buildings at once for 3 days. Essentially a 3 day long Bernini's hammer.
War teleporters let you port onto a NPC, instead of having to cap the npc port it out and then port in. It's 120 cents and shares same cooldown with adv porters.
Even on servers that aren't locked, anyone whose smart will use a (free) random port to move the npc out and then a 90 cent adv port to move to the spot. It is the exact same thing.
stonecutter speedup
Anyone know the specifics, or has the description for this? Is it a one time use or a buff? If its a buff how long does it last? I can't find any info on it.
That's because as of now, there is no info on it. We're testing some new things, and when we're happy with them, we'll announce more. :)
For now, if you have any comments about it, feel free to pm them to me. Thanks!
Testing them on SS46 would be nice. I really want some War Teleporters. In fact, let me have a free one to play test for you. I have a target in mind. LOL!

Come on evony i thought you was starting the new advanced port attack after main tuesday how much longer do we after wait
It would be nice if they made regular tele's cheaper, hard to justify 30 bucks for 10 ports when you might land somewhere good on 3 or 4 of those ports..
recieved the mail this morning on 168 that they had added warteleporters and removed the cooldown from the adv teleporters so needless to say with the mass ammts of flat clearings on 152 i was excited so i went to check for the mail there and there was none so i thought maybe they hadnt gotten around to sending the mail yet so i tested it by adv teleporting one of my cities and i got stuck in cooldown this svcks evony why not make the new items on every server feeling thoroughly robbed atm hopefully this change is implemented quickly on the other svrs
I really can't wait for them to fix the Adv port on SS46. Tomorrow would be cool as its port around and wipe out reds day. And, I really want to buy some of these new ports.
Hmmm, what servers have you gotten this message on?
We're currently testing some new features, yes. However those features aren't ready for release at this time. I apologize that you got that email on a non-test server. When they are ready for release, we'll update asap. (Yes, this includes the adv teleporter change.)
It's not on ss58 yet :(
Subject: Introduce of new items!
Greetings Lords and Ladies of Evony!
We've been working on this for some time in response to player request, now we are proud to introduce three new items to the game community.
1. War Teleporter
Enables you to teleport your city to a barbarian city. And we’ve also made changes to the Adv. City Teleporter. The cooldown timer of teleporting is now reduced to 12 hours and the 24 hours march limit is removed. You can now initiate attacks as soon as you teleported.
2. Luban’s Ax
Gives 72 hours of double building time once applied, build two buidlings at the same time. It will be a great assistance to your city development.
3. Master Work of the Stonecutter
Shorten construction or research time by 50%.
See you on the battlefield!
Best Regards,
The Evony Team
Well these new items just changes everything all around, and especially changes the way the game is played. Using a War Teleporter to port your city into an NPC is so totally unreal that Evony is no longer Evony. And the Adv Teleporter with instant march only adds to it.
Even the big coiners are going to feel the effects of these two items. You guys already know what the effects can be, a lot of you are salivating at the prospect. But since it changes the game so dramatically, to me it is no longer worth playing.
Good Bye Evony and all players, and good luck.
PS - I did like the Luban's Axe. It made sense.

lol, the adv port change now makes it the same as age 2, and these changes were obviously employed due to how the game has evolved and how certain players have evolved to play.
you can either evolve with them or ragequit, i see youve taken the latter option which youre perfectly entitled to do.
People equate age1 to age2 now because theres like 5 items. Sorry, but if you equate age1 to age2 because you can force gates and port to npcs, your a moron.
When they take away our pult heroes, single unit layers, troop effectiveness (in regards to leadership) and merges, then I'll agree they are the same. Till then, I'll enjoy actively trying NOT to refuge.
This is an odd statement. Imagine this. I spend $65 at start up and do fairly well at the beginning of the game. Lets say by the 3 week month of the server I have 150k arch and plenty of other troops. ( way ahead of non spenders ). I'm building my 10 field when all of a sudden someone ports in my npc 10 hits me with 100k mechs wipes me and game over in my main city in a couple hours.
With big coiners at the start of a server you DO NOT have a chance when they're coming out of bp with 100k arch + and god knows how many other troops.
I wouldn't really call being forced to spend upwards of $300 dollars on a game to have a chance with big coiners evolving. Especially since they can eliminate you whenever they feel like with these new items and changes added. But w/e if Evony keeps messing things up and only helping out big coiners ( which is understandable to a limit ) I'll just find another one of the 100 copies of this game to play
