Thread: Is it possible to be competitive without buying items?

  1. #1

    Default Is it possible to be competitive without buying items?

    Now, I'm talking about like buying teleports( random and adv.)

    I don't coin, and have no ports. All I really here is "I ported next to this huge guy, hit him a few times and ported out."
    They say a war city is really only a war city if it's mobile.
    I can't make my cities mobile.
    Am I wasting my time building troops since I can't port it near a red? (really no reds near me).

    Thanks Jade, for this awesome Sig!!
    Retired, still poke around the forum once and awhile.

    Theres ways around it..
    My favorite is when evony does sweeps (ya know, every like 8mo) cap the flats around you...
    Release em an hour or two before maint, then go to sleep.. wake up in the morn and hope you can ruin someone's day.

    Need a sig?
    PM me

    Build up to an insta-treb hero.

    If you can't move, just use the time to build arch and level a hero.

    Once you get to insta-treb have an alliance mate send some scouts at it and you should get free ports. for every 1b stone you usually get a few ports, depending on the player thats hitting your trebs.

    I can make a pretty dirty account without coining. I have played servers without coining and broken the top 50 in hero and prest. not that prest means anything. It just took me 3 months to do it instead of 3 weeks lol. All can be done in this game just without coining it takes a lot longer.

    Fan of BOTS!!! ( Auto-Bots Of Course )

    this basically sums it up, you wont be competitive at the beginning, just hold your own, you'll eventually work your way up there, and you need to reply on ppl to cap you 10s to get in on the fun

    This is pretty much the way I did it. If you can survive those first couple of months, you're a boss.

    agreed. My first few months on na38 didn't go so great....but I hung in there. It's worth it.

    Yes you can still be very competitive without buying advance port.

    Random port is available to be obtain provided you have the knowledge and troops to obtain it.

    There are many other ways to relocate near a red without buying advance port.

    In the last 2 years that I played this game; I never ported my war city. Why? well my main city was always in a prime location. Insteaded of porting our war city, we capture a level 10 npc and port, because a good defenders rarely ever need a full sets of walls =).


    In WAR, one must decide their faith, or others will decide yours.

    Think you can read it without laughing? Go ahead and try it http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?...19#post1810519

    To be competitive without paying is not hard at all, you can get many teles from hitting 10s and other large attacks. Now to be competitive without using a bot is another story. It can be done but you quite simply have to vest your whole life into the game.

    No pay = easy still competitive.
    No bot = hard still competitive.
