It is a very slow game, at least at first. When you join, you build things for a solid week before much really happens. It helps if you can go on line and do something fairly regularily, as there is a lot of time between builds, and when one stops, the next does not start.

I am trying it now. Already been accused of being a spy in my alliance. I am not quite sure what advantage there is in being one, but I am not. I am trying to be helpful (like here), maybe that is a bad thing there....

I see a LOT of ads to it. I think on Facebook and on Yahoo-related sites. One of them has a luscious peasant girl with quite a cleavage and she says "be my Master" or something.

But I never played it and never plan to.

[Hanoi5]

I played it. It takes too much time, specially for a nearly obssessive person like me. I also played Ogame which was 'kinda' similar.

haha found this hilarious site about their ads

I play spacegame (sg.velmad.com) wich is pretty much the same, multiplayer massive strategy game wich lasts for months.

I have played loads of online games like this. And I even helped devloping velmad (www.velmad.com, it is a turn based 18'th century fleet simulator), I never heard or tried evony, but could give it a try maybe.

I always though that it could be very fun to take a dozen of BBO regulars and jump together in a game like this and dominate it , does evony games start from zero?, having to catch up with players who have been playing the game for years its kinda impossible.

I got seriously into Travian a few years back.

These games are massive time sinks.
If you want to do well, you need an Alliance numbering in the hundreds...

[jonottawa]

LOL at those who tried this game. Suckers for sex ads.

EVE is the best game ever. Bridge runs a close second. Why play anything else?

yeah travian is pretty much the same, I got in love of spacegame because it started mostly from zero 6 years ago, and it was developed as we were playing, many new features where coming requested by the players and they still do.

SG has a much little crow, each game of 2-4 months has about 30 regular players and 20 non regulars.

I've wasted an insane ammount of time playing it

[Rossoneri]

Was rather amused when this group of cheaters from a multi-user dungeon I used to play ran off to play Evony...Last I heard they managed to piss off enough people on their server to cause their own destruction...

There's something similar to Evony on Facebook, it's called Kingdoms of Camelot.

[Mbodell]

I tried evony for a while and liked the system of using real time as the currency to build stuff.

It lead to interesting timing logistics of what project can I build before sleep/bridge/work etc. so that I'm always building and never idle.

But once one gets ones city to near max the lack of a particular scroll prevented me from building lvl 10 buidings and it seemed the game basically died.

I had the luxury of playing a similar game to ebony, with my mother (sometimes with her as ally, sometimes with her as opponent). For about 2 years before she died. That was really priceless. She introduced to the game some very good friends of mine now.
