What about me? I live a surreal life with no schedule at all. Can I please please play your game?
Give me a break. Evony allows sitters. And I sincerely doubt any players are here with FAKE lives!

oops barring the occaisional bot
What you are saying about Age II is for me the least thing I like about it.
Age II's advantages are many and the "real lives" advantage is there...but way down on the list.
The "real" advantage to Age II is the huge advance in strategy. There are a MULTITUDE of possible strategies. Age II is far more flexible! It is a thinking mans game.
Please explain this. The battle mechanics haven't changed so I don't understand where all the new strategies have come from. If you are talking about suppression/uprising all that is who has the most troops. Where is the strategy in that?
The second advantage to Age II is it keeps people playing far longer than Age one. No more will a Top Player find himself surrounded pounded and conquered from a top player to 1 empty village in 15 minutes while he sits on the Johnny...forcing him to quit or start a new server.

No more will a noob be instantly and forever smacked down the instant he leaves BP. He has a chance to learn the game.
I totally disagree. The same reason people left Age 1 will be the same they leave Age 2. In fact Age 2 is a slower more boring game. BP in Age 1 & 2 is flawed and that is Evony's fault for the way the handle it. If you get wiped out why start on a new server? You just wasted all the time spent researching. If anything learn from your mistakes and try again. It is much easier to rebuild than start over. It is such a farce that people think if they lose they should start over to succeed. The ones that start usually don't learn from their mistakes and repeat the same things.
The third advantage to Age II is a player is not bored to death simply making and farming NPC's 2000 times a day just to feed his army and have a chance.
Wrong again! Just because they limited upkeep doesn't mean you don't have to farm. It is all relative. In fact because of the way they handle npc's farming will be more of an issue than in Age 1. Since you don't like the end game you have no idea what you are talking about here.
The fourth advantage to Age II is not having to wait wait wait for a new server to open giving players who failed another chance to play the only fun part of age I...beginning to mid game.
This is just your opinion. In fact I would guess that most people would disagree with you on that. There have been people playing these servers for over a year now and they have competed the quests many months ago. The fact is what keeps people around is the end game. WAR!!! If your opinion was the popular choice then the oldest servers would be dead. Also, the reason more Age 2 servers are opening than Age 1 is that Evony is trying to kill them. New players are directed to Age 2 not Age 1.
The fifth advantage to Age II is armor! awesome!
It might be awesome to you if you have a lot of money. If not it totally unbalances the game. In Age 1 at least the non players could spend long hours to try and keep up with the coiners. This can not be done in Age 2.
The sixth advantage to age II is the Historical heroes and Historical cities.
Historical cities are an interesting addition. Historical heroes are not.
The seventh advantage to Age II is drafting. No loss pre built troops!
Colonization is interesting but has many flaws. Most people prefer to attack.
The eighth advantage to AgeII is FaceBook! WOW instant return on advertising for the game you play! What an incentive! Brilliant!
Yeah great idea. Reward all the people who go join some social site not related to the game and give them gifts instead of rewarding the people who ACTUALLY play the game. Brilliant!!!!!!
The ninth advantage to Age II is Graphics.
So they changed the graphics. Not a huge advantage imo.
see??? I could go on and on before I get way down to the bottom of the list and say it is for "real" people with "real" lives.

We are all "real" people JP. Sooner you realize that, the better your posts will be.
