The patch is annoying, and the side effects were very very poorly considered. There is a coming soon section, which as far as I can tell has been left utterly unused by Evony reps and developers.

Use it please, with some forewarning we can at least prepare for large scale changes, or raise concerns over their impacts that you may not have considered.
This coupled with the continuing instability (ok it's been a little better today than yesterday, but is still not exactly stable) is going to drive your player base away. The game has promise, and was fun at first, but now I have little to do but finish off the last few quests/promotions/building upgrades and plough smaller players into the ground. You need some more variety to the game to maintain our interest.
Look at the successful large scale online games, the NPC's always play an important part in being targets in fighting / war online games. Not everyone wants to kill other players all the time, or kill NPC's all the time. You need soem PvP and PvNPC areas that both work and have rewards equal to the effort required to beat them.
