Thread: Who does not play Age II?

    I know somebody in real life who plays Age2 and he was telling me that you can cap cities there now..so think that part has changed. Atlantis and historic cities look fairly interesting but Age1 was the game i love. I had decided to stay on my 3rd server for good and that would be it but just as i got to 200k mech 500k cav 200k phract Evony go and change the rules on us the the valley "fix". Whatever didnt refuge i had kill so im back to a few measly archer bows and couple scout bombs....kindergarten Evony. Really i would be better off throwing fish fingers at my enemies. So seeing as Age1 has been castrated i may take a look at Age2 but i certainly wont be reaching for the credit card like i did on Age1 as you never know what Evony will change next and Im not putting money into something like that or into a company that thinks customer service is having volunteer moderators who have no say in anything other than to censor what people speak about here. ok im gonna get off my now and wait for my post to be deleted by Acer

    You can cap cities on newer servers and that is a huge bonus

    If you use facebook, you upkeep of troops will be 1/4 that of age1 (reducing farming = a plus in my eyes)

    The lack of serious players is true as a generalization. Normally 1-3 good alliances will emerge per server, and one of those will stand above the rest

    I like that troops aren't instant, at least in defense layering purposes, as well as the overkill rule in age2 (1 unit stopping 100k always bugged me)


    Both have their plusses, and oth their drawbacks

    I'm not saying i don't like layering, I'm a huge math guy in age2. I just like in age 2 they added overkill so you have to send more than 1 unit thick on layers (essentially if a stack will kill more than 100x your stack, they can hit something else in range)

    I think that idea adds more skill to that aspect of the game (1 more thing to remember to look at when determining layering)

    Also, I can see how losing inst troops would suck, just not a fan personally

    Wow, I was trying to find a way to ridicule/mock/argue with/annoy JP about this, but it's a very good thing for you to be doing. I have some...not really problems...I don't know what, about you teaching people. But aside from those things, it's a good thing for you to be doing. I'm gonna give you some rep..for reasons unknown to myself.

    If you want to hear what the things are, I can tell you, but they ARE going to be critical, and you probably won't like it.

    I gave Age2 a shot when it first came out. It was appealing at first, new graphics, more involved at first.. then I deployed to Afghanistan where I have 22Kbps connection and Age2 doesnt agree with that at all. So I left Age2 and havent looked back. And seeing battle reports from Age2 showing people with 10mil+ troops in there city with barely the same upkeep I have with maybe 2mil troops in a city, and with no worry about looseing them, just ruins something for me. Sure I should be jumping at the chance to reduce my farming time down to a small fraction of the time I spend now. But shouldnt you have to work for your troops? Sure Age1 has no limit on heros and can reach insta-troop status, but look at the work put into those heros. Sure I hate farming for food and medals, but at the same time it comes with a certain feeling of accomplishment. Anyway, enough of the rant.. Age1 rocks, Age2 just.. doesnt.

    I like some of the things like Historic cities and the Overkill rule in Age II.


    What I hate is the user interface and the overuse of some Flash code.

    Watching in Windows Task Manager expermenting with both Firefox and IE I found memory useage on my client in the browser was over 4 times higher after 3-4 hours of use. We all know Flash has a memory leak, but Age IIs client interface turns it from a leak into a torrent.

    And you think Age I lag is bad... wait til your browser is taking 4gb of RAM on your system.

    Other Age II things that should never be

    1) Voting for Governor. So if I win a popularity contest I can turn off your Market. Bleh.

    2) Historic Heroes--- Just cash for Evony, the are too heavily leaden with cash needs. Should have a free coords on the wheel or something that you can take to the in.

    3) No refuged when outa food. Sorry, but Age II is a conseqence free environment to have a billion troops. You just load up the Historic city you never want to lose, and draft all you want. No consequence of not having food cep tnot attacking. Well you dont want to attack from your lil defensive fortress thats drafting left and right.

    And after reading the other forum, mentoring from JapanPimp (who is proud of his "playing from a colonized position") may not be the most intelligent move a new person to Age II can make.

    The best way to learn Age I or Age II, since Evony does not believe in software documentation, is reading the forums and joining a good alliance. And above all taking noone at their word, but testing the knowledge you gain. There are too many urban legends I face everyday in Age I and Age II that simply are that, legends and rumours that have no bearing on the math.
