How to take over the Entire World in Evony

[Lord Soth]

Evony is vast. With a 500 x 500 grid this give 250,000 squares, so taking over the world is only a dream for many.

However it may still be possible, and this is how I see the scenario unfolding.

1) 16 alliances from the old servers, agree that they will work together, on the game plan. These should be highly motivated, war harden and experienced members.

2) As soon as a new server is released, each alliance takes over a country, so each alliance has a country. The goal in the first month is to become powerfull and build up the cities and armies, and the main goal is to NPC every empy flat they can find within their territory.

With 100 active players, each player will need to NPC 50 to 100 flats on average. This will prevent hostiles from moving in, and with long supply lines, the enemies will soon be reduced to 1 city alliances with 0 population, and no one to call on for support.

3) In a few months, the server will only consist of 16 alliances in coaltion with each other, and the enemy will consist of 1 city per player with 0 population. At this point, it is pre agreeded that the even vs odd number alliance ranked by prestige will go to war with each other, and the process is repeated until 8,4,2 and finally one alliance remains who controls the entire world except for burned out 1 player cities.

4) This alliance would have taken over the world.

Their is one fly in this ointment. Servers cost money, and im not sure if Evony would appreciate a server that normally servers 50000 players, becoming a playground for a few thousand alliance members.

They could reset the NPC's to flats at anytime, defeating this technique.

However I suspect that evony uses virtual servers, and they would allow this, if we could get buy in from Evony Management in advance.

As the number of players is reduced, evony management could reduce the resources allocated to the "take over the world" virtual server.

What does everybody think. Is anybody interested in taking over the world.

I don't think that will ever happen....

How do you expect 16 alliances to get together even if they did.... either the players or the alliances will fall apart from the main plan.
It's hard to keep some alliances on one plan for so long.

And even if they did conquer the whole server...After everything is done...the players and alliances will declare war against each other which then opportunities will arise for the defeated players to rise up

[scdwarrior]

No because even if they managed it (which would be unlikely) the people on that server would do the same.

I reckon there would be (as well as the 16 alliances from old servers) one other big and dominant alliance in that area and one of these alliances new alliances would defeat the older one. There is also the risk of the alliance of the 16 alliances falling apart.

I reckon the rest of the alliances on that server would also band together.

Abd Constantine II made a good point that this group would become bored and war between themselves so there would never be a real ruler of the server.

I still think it is possible - but a lot more unlikely than you think and a lot, lot harder.

[Constantine II]

And also...

What do ya think the 16 alliances & their members are gonna do once this is all over and the server is all their's?
(Answer): They are gonna get bored because of no excitement in the server & leave the server or else declare war against themselves (as mentioned before) or keep on attacking NPC's and valleys.

And when they declare war against themselves...Then opportunitties will come for the defeated players to rise once again.And the server will return to normal status leaving those alliances fighting against themselves for eternity...ha ha ha..It ain't so funny..ha ha.

[Lord Soth]

We done this on server 15, with just one state, but the coalition fell apart after a few months.

All it requires is discipline and commitment. I see this already amonst the top alliances on some of the older servers.

Im sure we can get 16 alliances, that can agree to play by "take over the world" rules, amonst the veteran players.

It would be a exciting refeshing challenge, to those that are stuck in a cold war on the old servers.

We just need a commitment from Evony, that they wont reset the NPC's to flats half way thru the challenge.

And in references to the alliances fighting amonst themselves, that is the plan once all 16 alliances secure all territory, execpt that even number alliances play odd number alliances, ranked by prestige. We have predetermine conditions for defeat, and the 8 losers bow out, then its between the top 4 then top 2.

The Host, Vice Host of every would hold everybodies passwords in their alliance, and whoever breaks the rules gets all every city except one NPC, and then expelled.

Once we have an ultimate winner, yes we celebrate their accomplishment forever in Evony, and then we release the server to be reset.

They take over the world an then what? abandon the game coz is does not pose any challenges? I'm sure Evony admins don't want that.

Besides, that would also mean no real life for players... I have time now to be online 5-6 hrs a day, but in a month I might only have time to check my emails, who knows.... ( I'm just an example)

Let's keep the game fun and exciting.

[Constantine II]

Well Taking over just 1 State is way easy to 16 Alliances in My server wn3 except for some states.

And making a Disciplined and commited alliance ain't easy and could take about 2 months and everything might have changed by then...Time dosen't stay in one place or the way you want it to...

If Conquering 1 state is hard...How would Conquer the whole Server server be? (Very Very Hard).
And 16 Alliances can't take the whole Server unless every single members has 1-5 million prestige. Or else 25 alliances might do the Job.

[Lord Soth]

I have been playing for 6 months, and since there is no end game, the game no longer poses any excitement. We are stuck in cold war battles, with little or no hope of it being resolved.

I dont really see the excitement with the Status Quo, so why dont we at least try something new.

[sgtachilles]

we have a pinky and the brain situation here lol

I didn't mean Abandon the game....I said leave that specific server and join another Server.
And i don't think they are gonna take over the World (Server) anyway. It will be like making things happen in Dreamland
