Thread: To Evony developers

  1. Default

    It's a shame there's no vacation mode for Evony.

    People are harsh here, insulting the OP for spending money on a game we all play.

    • During vacation mode, all unit production, all resource production, and all research are automatically frozen.
    • Players are not allowed to move any units during vacation mode.
    • Vacation mode cannot be triggered if you're already under attack.
    • Vacation mode requires a 24 hour warm-up period.
    • Vacation mode has a minimum and maximum coverage period.
    • Vacation mode has a cooldown of one or two weeks, so you cannot spam it.
    • Once initiated, vacation mode cannot be cancelled.


    While these may seem strict, if you really are going on vacation you couldn't do these things anyway, so it's a fair trade. These restrictions are more than acceptable in exchange for knowing that your cities will be exactly the same as when you left. The freezing of all production also ensures that no one would enter this mode unless they really were going on vacation.

    There have been at least a dozen threads in the Suggestion Forum asking for a vacation mode.
    I think and know from other games that a vacation mode will take place 24h from activation. I that way you cant set in a vacation mode just because of any attack. I also think it should be a fix periode, so when its set it cant be taken down again. There is many way to salwe this and it should be done soon in respect of those who like the game and put money into it.

    Depends on what people call vacation/holidays...1 day, a few days or weeks, presonally i believe anything longer than a week is classed as vacation and generally people know well in advance that they are going on holidays. How much notice do you give an employer for annual leave, generally as much notice as you can so i think at least a week in advance for vacation mode would be fair if not extremely lenient.

    Going away for a few days isnt a vacation imo and something like that would get exploited big time, if a player is getting hassled constantly for a few days they would call vacation time for a few days hoping the aggressor will move on to somebody else.

    Maybe the devs could actually implement it that you PAY for your vacation time, resources continue to accumulate but your charged x amount of cent per day to keep the account active and safe.

    Low and behold players dont wish to spend money, but if your going away for 4 weeks at 1 cent per day, its only 28 cents, how much are your cities worth to you

    I dont agree that it should cost anything. But I admidt this is one way to do it, and in the better than nothing. I also think one week is the minimum for a avaction mode. The question is if Evony response to this at all. So far they havent respond to any of the treads about it as I know.

    So my plan for npc all towns without the last one is still on. I`m only a feew week away from my vacation.

    Default minumum time

    as far as a vacation mode goes all it needs is a minumum time and a cooldown equal to the time you took

    for instance minumum 2 weeks
