Thread: Age1 or Age2

    Default Age1 or Age2

    If you had to choose which age do you prefer playing 1 or 2 and why? Lastly why on age 2 certain servers you can attack other players like npcs and other servers you cant, only colonize? (and by they way I've never played age 1 - wouldn't mind giving it a try though)

    This is better for General Discussion. And I would choose age 2 because farming is easier, and not such a big part of the game. Especially the latest age 2 servers where you are able to attack, though I believe that it is just being tested there, though we will not know until someone says something.

    you could always join a "peaceful" alliance lol

    i am age1 all the way, i am in love with the attack button and i like being able to steal cities and being able to lose cities. it's also good for passing your cities on. not being able to lose a city makes it seem like a sims game to me.

    I agree with this. AgeI is a WAR game, as I think Evony is intended to be. AgeII is a game where you don't really have to do to much. you can guy enough food to attack, and you really don't HAVE to have an army, you can just socialize and never worry about losing a city.

    I disagree. The troop levels needed to successfully conquer a historical city (at least 1.2m archers and 2m warriors) require a player to farm substantially to accomplish this. Evony has made it more difficult now to farm w/ the lack of player-built "permanent" NPCs.

    Evony should have made player-built NPCs a 'valley' type, and you to keep them (the same way you keep valleys) for purposes of farming -- or, eliminate the farming portion, and instead have player-made NPCs automatically generate rez for the player every 8 hours.

    The lack of the ability to farm also greatly hinders someone's ability to build troops (lack of rez) and the inability of players to level up heros past 100 means troops generation times are insanely slow when you start to reach end-game.

    (If you're one of the unfortunate ones who start 'late' on a new Age 2 server, forget about getting an HH... most decent HHs are long-gone early on by the top players... one player in my alliance has 25.)


    Yes... farming is significantly less on Age 2 than on Age 1, I agree. I can maintain my Age 1 troop strength w/ a single set of farming runs per city each day.

    However, the troop generation times make the game outright boring. At least Age 1 was more interesting in this regard, w/ the ability to plunder other players.

    I haven't seen that 'feature' on any Age 2 server... I don't see it on NA21, which is the latest server to open... Besides, the evonyclient.swf file is, to the best of my knowledge, the same on every server, so a feature on one server is going to exist on another.

    This has not been a problem for most. I think the reason for this is Facebook. The ability to cut upkeep 50%, and for money spenders 100%, allows most players to be able to have several millions of each troop type (not including mechs) with a minimal need to farm. And obviously for those that do spend alot of money, never have to farm ever. It all depends on how organised and efficient each player is.

    It has been confirmed as being on NA20, and NA21. I believe the option is only visible either once you have declared on another alliance or player, and to declare on another player, you have to have left BP. Hopefully a battle report should be sufficient proof: battlena21.evony.com/default.html?logfile/20100804/7d/38/7d3889ad9da9d23d120eaa1123ddac13.xml

    You completely off mate, with the new attack features AgeII is pretty much better then Age 1 in every way, also the Historic cities give new challenges for the best of players.

    Age2 all the way now, before long everyone will come to age2.
