Prestige is not an accurate portrayal of capability nor capacity. I find that often, prestige is only a very rudimentary way to evaluate the worthiness of an opponent.
No. But they can't attack anyone, so what else are they there for?And it is reasonable for NPC cities to rebuild defenses and troop levels thousands of times faster then their neighbors?
Generally, killing barbarians is the mission of any ruler. I think the issue is the way long distance fights are handled, which preempts most attempts to fight people over a couple hours march.And it is reasonable to have hundreds of Barbarian cities in the middle of an advanced empire?
Yes, rogue warlords are common throughout history, some even settle down to found their own nations.And it is reasonable for Barbarians to have things like massive fortresses?
It has its uses.And it is reasonable for combat to be turn based? First you take a turn, then I do, then you, then I.
I consider it part of the weak battle design that dynamic campaigns can't be waged. Evony uses the most basic battle system I have ever seen in an strategy game.And it is reasonable for a raiding party to knock down the walls of a city before plundering the unprotected country side?
It is when you factor in the time scale appropriately. An hour outgame is more akin to a month ingame.And it is reasonable for walls knocked down to rebuild themselves so fast?
No, but then that is another example of this incredibly basic battle system.And it is reasonable for guys with pitch forks to be able to hurt massive stone walls in the first place.
Well, it could actually be turned into a fairly accurate medieval age strategy game. They just have to implement different civilizations to play, oceans, navies, and a more dynamic battle system that isn't just a slugfest where the loser loses everything.Truth is, there is very little reasonable about this game. If we take out all the stuff that is unreasonable, nothing is left. Its a game, not a historical reconstruction. Come on man, put a little thought into your arguments =P
