Thread: Why I quit playing Evony

    Default Why I quit playing Evony

    I know this post will probably be removed but I really used to enjoy playing this game and even used to spend a few dollars hear and there. Basically I just wanted to let people know why I left.
    After having played age1 and then age 11, I firmly believe age 11 will be the downfall of evony.. When a player with 4 million plus points can takeover a player less than one tenth his size and the only way to get your township back is to beat him or her in a fight there really is no incentive to play.. I worked hard to build my township only to have a player attack me with over 200,000 troops and take my township. there really is no way to get him out because everytime I managed to build up a decent hero it disappeared, I lost troops regularly and 15% of my resources go to him every day along with what he gets from the other 20 odd townships he has.
    Eventually I turned everything off in the town, in the hope this guy, (with over 4 million points) would quit as suzerain, but no he keeps control of a city he gets a maximum of 15 of each resource per day and no gold. there are no troops in the city and no hero's left. So basically the guy has forced me out of the game for 15 of each resource per day. This will eventually work against the game owners. As these players take more towns and people turn things off as a way to try to get rid of them, they will, like me eventually quit out of frustration. So in the long run Evony will have 100 or 200 players left who dont need to spend real money because they already control the servers. In my opinion the developers really didn't put enough thought into this style of game play. All other games I've ever played have AZ's or attack zones, which stops bigger players from taking out smaller players.. Evony has done exactly the opposite, they actually encourage big players to take control of smaller players towns.

    Elvin, my friend. Do not be discouraged.
    The only problem you have is that you do not understand how to play while being colonized. If you have a Suzerain you can indeed keep building yourself up nice and strong to a point where you can overthrow your suzerain.
    And 200k troops is nothing once you get built up. If you need advice or help please PM me. I am the master of playing while colonized.

    Well you can expect a lot more of this now that Historical Cities have been made useless. It does seem that Evony are encouraging the bullying and abuse of smaller players, but what else can we do when they take away any incentives to do anything else?

    Most of these "big" players are now sitting on millions of archers and they're not going to waste them on pointless HCs so they'll hit noobs instead.

    easy done, get ability to build second city, making sure its out where there are few players, build a new town there, reinforce it asap with scrap troops, get walls up etc, start demolishing old city, ferry resources to new city. rebuilding is a pain, but you can effectivly annoy a suzerain doing that

    ive done it twice TBH and the funny thing is, they keep looking for you, keep sending 100k archers. so you save a truce agreement and a random port.he comes to suze, apply truce agreement, theres wasted resources there, he spent X food on 100k archers to take a stroll to your city walls and back.
    he will wait 12 hours, so port. out of state.

    Is he in an alliance? if so join one of their allies which should remove him as your suzerain. Then quit the alliance scout his other 20 colonies, find those with no walls/academy and rape his army with layered archer attacks. hopefully he also has much more honour than you.

    Wonderful advice again... With him having no walls or techs it will be a joke
