Positive Aspects of Evony Online Game

The negative aspects of Evony are hard-pressed to make up for the positives that it offers.Next, there is no in-game user manual or technology tree to guide the player on how how to accomplish what they want in the game. While borrowing from other classic strategy games allows quick start-up for gamers, it also gives Evony a failing grade for originality.As a result, the player is sent floundering around trying to accomplish what they want to do, hitting dead ends in the maze of building improvements, technologies and resources necessary to take the next step. Look no further than the original name of Evony for evidence of this - "Civony" - a clear copy of the Civilization games.As a typical example, to acquire the rewards in a "Package for Lords", one requirement is for the player to have a town hall at level three. Players run the risk of becoming bored or frustrated with Evony after a few weeks or months of play.Among other prerequisites, that requires building walls, which in turn requires both a quarry at level two and a workshop at level one. In addition, there are a number of game mechanics that will grate on the player committed to not spending real-life money.Just looking at the workshop, building one requires getting both a forge up to level two and an iron mine up to level three. First, while basic buildings like first-level farms and cottages take a matter of minutes to build, advanced buildings and projects can actually take hours.Then by the time all the requirements have been met, a player may still have to wait to replenish the resource requirements for the package because so many resources have been spent on building and upgrading. While this might make the game more "realistic", it's not the kind of realism that benefits the free player.All of this could be easier to overlook were it not for the lurid, lowest-common-denominator advertising used to promote Evony. Moreover, the New Games only permits working on one building at a time.What's more, eagle-eyed critics have noted that some of the models used are actually lifted from lingerie and costume catalogs.. This is certainly unrealistic, but in this case, realism would benefit the gamer playing for free. It appears, therefore, to not be allowed.
