Thread: Why were NPC'S first made?

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Default Why were NPC'S first made?

    Evony said they never intended for players to farm NPC'S. So why do they have them in the first place? It seems silly to say "we put these cities full of food here but we never intended for people to want the stuff in these easy to attack cities". I guess you could say they were for being able to capture but almost no one captures anything but 10's (or 8's if your on Age 2.) I just dont get what the original point of NPC's were if they werent made to farm.

    I suppose they were "practice" to learn how to hit other players.

    That is consistant with the Level 9, which does not appeal as a harvesting target. NPC8s are not user friendly, I found as well. Some of the early wikis on NPCs had that tone, and the script it is ever players duty to drive out the barbarians is still on the NPC as I recall.

    I think they were intended to be a source of food, but i dont think 1) evony anticipated us figuring out how to hit them effectively with low losses 2) that we would surround our cities with them 3) that we would be willing to farm so many so often in order to keep up with obscene troop counts.

    It wasnt intended for us to make and farm them. Offcourse that changed in
    S3, when a member of MISC alliance started farming them using Archers.

    From, there a more shrewed player, noticed the range of Ballistae, and went work. Before long, they posted this new way in the forum. Once this happneded, everyone started making an farming lv.5 & 6 npc.

    NOTE: LV.6 NPC didnt always have treb in them. ONce Evony noticed what player were doing, they decided to add them. They left LV.5's alone, and the rest is history.

    Cool, makes you wonder if they kept farming NPCS a secret they would have ruled the game lol

    Wow, so they were meant to goad players into attacking them? And now that we do (farm them) they made it harder for us by putting trebs in 6's and randomly clearing lvl 10's and 5's?
