Thread: evony II What???????

  1. #1

    Default evony II What???????



    I have to be missing something here. I wrote another post about combat but I just came out of beginner protection today. It is worse than I ever expected!

    First of all there are quests and reward for conquering Barbarian cities. Yet if you try to conquer there is no option.

    Quote, "Courage medals can be aquired by conquering intermediate level valleys or NPC's cities."

    So I attack? Yet loyalty doesnt drop a bit. Each attack drops it 3% to level 77...I attack again it is regenerated and it drops again 3.....to 77% Over and over I attack. Over and over I win. Over and over it drops 3% to 77%

    Now mind you. This is a lowly level 2 NPC village right beside me! Travel time is around 4 minutes! Each time traps are regenerated also troops and loyalty back to where it started!

    I have decided OK...Barbarian villages impossible to conquer at least for now.....maybe some weird trick can get them like a level gazillion hero with a bazillion stars special strategies and speed of 10 seconds round trip.

    Lets go to the simplist of the simplist. I will steal some resources from an idle player with zero prestege! 7 days and nothing! What could be easier?



    first of all you cant attack him EVER. Even if you declare war...wait 30 minutes....send your colonization....and have supposedly 24 hours for "attacks" (the message said I could) ...nothing. You cant attack EVER....
    I even sent another colonization attempt....maybe these guys could figure out how to pick up a bit of gold or food just laying on the ground over flowing the storages?

    NOPE nothing. Those resources are guarded better than Fort Knox!

    Now why did I build a warehouse to "protect" my resources?
    They cant be stolen EVER!
    Why build a wall to "protect" myself?
    Why even build troops at all?
    What purpose is loyalty?
    My city is invulnerable!

    You say but! but! but! you'll be colonized!
    So what?
    10% of production is a tiny fraction of the resources I spent on troops, walls, warehouses and important researches to "protect" me.

    I can easily still build up town hall to 10 or whatever the limit is. I can still make new villages and max out their production. resources of 10 10 10 10 10.....no problem Population? skies the limit.

    Am I a total moron? Am I missing something?

    Can anyone even tell me what purpose this silly game has?

    Unfortunately I am totally new to Evony. All I know is Evony II. I actually tried to see if it was possible to play Evony (original) and I don't see any way to do it. Everything automatically directs me to Age II.

    However I am totally serious when I ask this.

    Some Evony staff in the know......Please tell me the point?

    Is it a bug? A malfunction? Bad code? Designer mistake? Poor play testing? Beta version being playtested by us?

    Or

    Evony had problems with balance but the fixes in Evony II are unintentially worse than the original play balance problems?

    Or

    Maybe I am just a noob and everything works perfectly? I simply am too new to understand the point?



    I really do want a serious answer/discussion of this. I see so much potential in the basic framework of the game. I really do hope I am just missing something.

    npc regenerate 3 points of loyalty every 6 mins (i think) been too long since i needed to care

    dont worry about taking a lvl 2, build up the troops to take alvl 10

    yes age II is a bug within itself, i wouldnt bother, just try and get into age I

    have you even played A1 and bashing on A2?

    1. barbarian npcs regenerate their loyalty over time so if you want to conquer one of them, you have to send enough troops in waves so you are constantly attacking it, lowering their loyalty and not giving it time to regenerate its loyalty - it's not something brand new in A2, it was exactly the same in A1, so why are you complaining about it now?

    2. not being able to attack someone else is obviously going to be changed soon, otherwise there wouldn't be techs and buildings related to plundering; what i hear is that they disabled the attack option during beta stage so that people could test out their new colonization function but it quickly became obvious that, coupled with this new 'historical city' concept, it was vulnerable to wide variety of abuses so they didn't active the attack option at the start of going live.

    Clearly, you have not been reading the advertisements ALL over the net. AgeII was set up with no attack button because of all the bullies on AgeI. We're such terrible and awful folks, you see...So, the devs decided to make a game just for the whiny, cry babies who didn't want to learn how to defend or battle for themselves. Now, they have their nice, safe Farmville, and they are still not happy. If I want a colony, I'll play Farmville. If I want battle, I'll play Evony AgeI.

    I think calling other players who prefer a little less aggressive gameplay "whiny cry babies" is out of line. We'll have no name-calling here, no insults against other players, and no flaming. Check? Check.
