Mid-Evil Sim City: Evony

Quickie: No Need to Download it's Online FUN!

Evony was a fun and addictive Sim City type of game based in a mid-evil setting.

The controls were simple, clear and I especially like how it’s a strict internet based game, no downloading for hours only to discover the game sucks…yay.

You start with a seven-day grace period featuring basic tutorials. I suggest you go to http://evony.medievalgamer.com, for a beginners guide to success.

It’s also nice because you do not have to constantly maintain building, some of the projects take a long time, so you can leave the computer for a while.

However it is annoying how you can only perform one building construction at a time, but they do have items to shorten the time it takes and if the construction time is under five minutes it doesn’t cost any items to speed up.



In the beginning it’s a little lame because you’re weak and can only focus on building more stuff or upgrading stuff. I also do not like how it costs items to chat on the world server.

Building an army was also a little tedious, because you control every detail and you have to be careful how you spend your resources or you will be stuck with useless workers.

You also have to join a guild to be any threat against other kingdoms because you are just a tiny speck on the Evony map, easy pickings for anyone.

So, login at least once a day, otherwise you will be severely plundered after the seven day grace period. Also, you receive a free amulet that gives you free stuff once a day, but it expires, so use it.

In short, if you like Sim City, you will like this game, especially because it’s free.
