    um.. why are you all obsessed with titles?


    it's just a word, and the hero capturing isn't worth the time spent so, why not just skip that part out and have your fights?


    true you'll be one city down but thats not really important

    I remember you could get medals every hit on a valley on S3 in Civony. then May came ('09) and Evony had the bright idea to change it (to zero). Oh the joy was felt through the whole server, anyone new was screwed rightly while anyone who had played a lot PRIOR to that change was able to progress to Prinzessin. Took a month or more before Evony finally agreed they went overboard on the change and made drops possible again. Its been fun being a test subject.

    While it may be free to log in, the point of playing is to advance and this is not possible without spending money. I realize that it costs money to create and maintain a game and I certainly don't begrudge them that. But when the game is advertised specifically as free, it's not right to make it impossible to progress without spending a small fortune. It is only right that the game is presented with the appropriate cost. I see nothing wrong with Premium content and advancing more quickly if you're willing to shell out the cash. The fact is that you need medals to advance and my personal experience is a 0% drop rate after 200+ attacks. The promotion quests even tell you what level valleys to attack for which medals. But there are no drops, unless you count your jaw when you see the true cost of playing.
    i do aggree with you there but you do not need to spend money to be strong, i have never spent a dime on this game and i have been rank 1 on a server with millions of troops(i didnt even win many cents on wheel) it is possible to not spend money and be a good player. This is a company and they have to make money somewhere as they have people to pay, you can either let others buy things or you can have tons of adverts all around the screen.

    I think that people buying items only buy them cos they cant do it themself and they aint a good player and need to waste money on getting better.

    Seriously, another one of these? Okay let me explain this to you like all the rest. It is a free game, the people who spend money (like me) do so because we know without our help and spending Evony would not be "Free" anymore. So be grateful for it being free and not making you pay. Seriously why bother complaining, Evony isn't just going to say, "Oh okay lets make everyone have any ammount of game coins they want and all the packages and keys". WE DON'T LIVE UNDER A COMMUNIST REGIME!! Thats capitalism for ya buddy.

    Your reply is not only unneccessarily rude and condescending, but also entirely off base. Did you even read my post? Obviously not. I don't recall anything about wanting game coins or promoting communism and/or capitalism, which by the way, I believe is against the forum rules. My point was that the game quests state that you can get medals from valleys and it is simply not true based on my own personal experience. By the way, I don't mind supporting something I like and I have spent money on the game as well. But after seeing another spend $45 just trying to promote to Barronette, unsuccessfully no less, I realized what a joke it is. Advancing much slower I could handle, but with zero medal drops, you can only advance with cash.

    Not doing this again. If we didn't sell items there would not be a game at all.
