Evony.

kind of addictive if you ask me.

and if anyone wants to check it out, specify server 112 and state of Tuscany
sign up for the free membership, THERE IS NOTHING TO DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL, login, but close browser tab / window right away, login again and select to choose a server, pick server 112, click play now button. you will be able to chose the State during the game loading sequence, pick Tuscany. ]

get the embassy built.
[ build cottage, uplevel it to 2, uplevel town hall to 2, build one each resource collection facility { city tab on game screen } build embassy.

Send me mail in game [ my name is the same as here. :) ] when you start, and I can send an invitation so when the embassy is built, it's there and you only have to accept it to be in the Alliance.

[ change flag quest, pick Maxx ;) ]
I have set up on there now, and started an alliance for TR members, called TR.

CHANGE:
alliance TR will be merging with Alliance Max2 friday, mail Jaqui2 for an invitation to the Max2 alliance.

the alliances are good things, gives you stuff that helps with the game.

and I've had the luck to chat with some players who have been on evony since they were only beta testing it. learned lots of tips, that can be shared in r/t chat in the alliance.
[ little tip, don't chat in world channel other than for the quest ]

Alliance name, because of limitations in the game: TR

other than the daily reset / bugfix and flash ui, it's a well done app.

and the evony staff were really upset at some of the adds the players put out.
they asked the players to advertise, but didn't expect the method and ad content.

it will take me about another hour to have the alliance set up for TR members, and not sure what name restrictions will make me use for it.

by jaqui

I just figured, why not put it out for everyone, since it has real time chat in it and we could easily have 100 members who like real time strategy games.

by charliespencer

I wanted to acknowledge your return, but didn't want to build any expectations that I'd be participating.

by jaqui

it's where the alliance chat comes in handy.
chatting with friends helps pass the time.

and evonypedia.com's quick start isn't bad reading.

though they neglect little things, like only build 8 cottages. 1 warehouse.
one of most is all that is allowed.
12 barracks is another good thing.

by rob miners

can't use another System and logon to the game. I just tried a couple of times but I get a blank screen with this on the bottom

before I can accept the invitation. Don't mind me as I haven't played these type games before, I have watched the kids though.

At the moment I have 5 sawmills, 3 farms and 1 each of the Quarries and Ironmines. 9 Cottages a Warehouse and a Marketplace.

by tig2

And watch the Quests. They are a great guide and you get stuff for doing them.

by seanferd

I just have to ask - where do you specify the server? I do see where you can select the alliance.

If I have some time in near future, I'll screw around with this.

by jaqui

after you login, before you click the play now button, there should be a button just above it with login another server on it.

by seanferd

I'd not been through that procedure yet. I registered, but never logged out and back in.
:p

by jaqui

if you are on server 112, apply for alliance TR membership

or send in game mail to me. "Jaqui" minus the quotes. ;)
I'll end an invite for the alliance

by seanferd

I couldn't find the play button! :p
I always went straight to the game upon login. ?:|
So, I figured I'd check the link I'd made. (@)
Turns out, each server is a subdomain, and my link was created after registration, putting said subdomain into the URL. C=
Also turns out, I happened to be at 112.evony.com. v/

Cha-ching.

So, I'll send an app to TR alliance when I get back to the game. My city is simmering at the moment, so I should have more resources when I check back.

Cheers!

by rob miners

the logout button yet. :(

I was allocated server 112 as well so it could be an interesting allience. ;)

by jaqui

you mean the ievony game coin generating thing.
and it's useless without an invite code, which they are no longer giving out.

the game itself is just a flash app, nothing to install if you have the flash plugin installed already.

by jaqui

close the tab / browser

it never stops collecting resources so it never really shuts down :)

by jaqui

that's one of the problems with the flash ui of it.
sometimes it fails to load properly, you just have to reload the page until it does.

by rob miners

give up after 3 attempts. I'll try it again on this System. I have to go to a job this morning, Virus removal, otherwise I would be in the shed on the System that I set up on.

by jaqui

it can sometimes be a problem.
I know someone else from Aus that had to struggle for 10 hours to get logged in one time.

he was stressing, his 50k cavalry, 100k archers, 100k scouts were going to eat all the food and start rioting on him.

by rob miners

I have no problems logging on on the System that I used to set it up, but I still get a blank screen on this System. I'll have to wait until later. My lumber might have increased by then and I can get my level 5.

by jaqui

do not level 5 town hall if you still have beginners protection!!!

and when you login, apply to join the alliance TR

by santeewelding

Are you still being hounded, ducking enemy rounds, skirting around corpses, hiding in urban alleys without a place and a pillow to lay your head?

Last I heard from you, that's what it sounded like.

by tig2

We need to increase our numbers. Jaqui and I can't carry the honor of TR ALL by ourselves!

by michael jay

seems I need to do some work before I can join the alliance.

Hammering away on new construction.

by jaqui

cottage, level 2
town hall level 2
embassy level 1
farm, sawmill, iron mine, stone quarry, level 1

yup, it's a bit of work, specially as resource management is what it's all about at first

by jaqui

you can't expect a game to be 100% realistic, when it's flash based and run across the internet.

the land looks good for farms, but that's about all it looks good for. :D

by jaqui

a bit boring, being the only active member on Evony today.

already gotten over 5 times the prestige of any other member.

and climbing fairly quickly.

prestige, gets you higher ranking, and keeps the other players from attacking you.
and gets other alliances wanting to be friendly, unless they are the 'destroy them all' type.

by seanferd

I can't let you have all the fun. Fun is mine. ;)

You definitely helped prod me to do this. Thanks.

Best wishes to you and yours.

by jaqui

if people are active and chatting while waiting for builds / research / resource collection to finish up.

by jaqui

it's a daily thing.
every day, at the same time.

must be a windows server ;)

daily reboot / reset required. ;)

by jaqui

of wankers.
only seanferd, Jacky Howe, Tigger and I?

none of the wargamers want to play Evony with us?

putzes that's what you are. :p

by shellbot

You know I will when I can..
by the time i get there i'll be so far behind though :(

Signed up for German lessons..they start in Feb..one more thing to add to my list of things I don't have time to do :)

Hopefully see ya there after xmas ok...

by jaqui

peer me and I'll start a new account with ya.
same day and time.
so you won't be alone in getting built up. :D

by maecuff

I've never ventured into the world of online games.

Maybe I'll give it a shot.

by rob miners

and I must admit that I'm enjoying myself. :D

Once you open the communications channel, allience, you ask Jaqui what to do and you get instant help. ;)

by jaqui

since I'm in two different alliance channels and have to flip tabs in the browser to see the other one.

but I am usually there.

just got back from the bank and store.
heading there now.

by tig2

I am in CA with family for a bit but plan to go back to it as soon as I get back home and on that back side of a few things.

I like Evony and would have loved to keep with my original persona. Medical emergency kinda toasted that but I think I learned new things.

Come in and play. You'll be with folks you know and love. "We Are Family"!!!!!

by shellbot

that is the definition of a friend...
someone who will start a new game account with you so your not leveling up all on yer own
:D

by michael jay

he has helped me quite a bit, and in return I helped him out and it only cost me 170 men, and about 21000 food.

But it is all good.
