Thread: Am I the only one who likes the fact that you can't kill cities in Evony 2?

    Default Am I the only one who likes the fact that you can't kill cities in Evony 2?

    One of the reasons I didn't care for Evony 1 is it was too easy for someone to wipe out all but your last city, which often consisted of low level buildings that you just started building. I like the new occupation mechanic, now if they could do something about the lag on NA1 we'd be in business.

    The only people I imagine who would like the 'no attack' side of Age II are those who would prefer to build pretty cities rather than war and conquer. Okay so I like pretty cities, but its the war that keeps you alive in the game.

    The dynamic of age 1 and the wars, taking of cities etc, is the reason why myself, and a lot of others play the game. I can understand how some can get frustrated by that aspect of the game, but really...how fun would it be without it. You always have one city, so just rebuild if you lose the others. I can also understand that evony loses potential buyers because they get wiped out and never come back, so it makes sense to make a version where that does not happen...but I do not agree with them removing those aspects of the game completly from all future servers.

    Not surprising, guessing by your name you are a religous pacifist and would not approve of violence in any game. However, this is a game based upon empire building hundreds of years ago, attacking and loss are a vital part of the gameplay.

    I think you are in the minority here. I think that can be shown by how many Age 2 servers you see vs. Age 1 servers.

    Let me ask you a question. What are you going to do once you have completed all the quests?

    would Hasbro's Monopoly been as much fun if everyone just bought property and never payed rent? For the more simple minded folk.. would Chutes and Ladders been as much fun if it were just Ladders? Fact is in any game worth playing there is a chance you might fail.. I can understand the "pretty city" idea.. but for long term sustainability in which players remain active Age II needs the attack back.

    I, for one, absolutely hate it. I just started playing again, for Age II, and for them to take out such a pivotal part of the game disappoints me greatly. Seeing from the rest of the posts here, their 'hardcore' audience (which at one time included me) plays for the chance at dominating people. Take this out and you just have a sim city game with $hitty graphics.

    Wow, such a lot of threads on the same topic. Evony really needs to take a poll and find out if all active players in age 2 really do want the attack option back. Something in-game that must be voted on, for example.

    I'm wondering if the removal of the "war" aspect has something to do with the much closer relationship with Facebook.

    One of the most brutal (and, of course, most successful) players on my old Age I server was always telling those he conquered to "go back to Farmville" if they complained. Back then it was just something to say... but now on Age II, a lot of the new players may really be Farmville devotees looking for a diversion. These folks are not quite ready for the prolonged, heated, epic battles of Age I, so perhaps they are being eased into it gradually to keep them from getting discouraged and leaving the minute they get attacked.
