<p> </p><p>Evony</p> <p>This new online real time strategy game has taken the world by storm with its cunning game play, quest based reward system and interactive chat systems. Being a personal fan of online RTS games I have come across some good games in my time, but none compare to Evony.</p> <p>‘Tribal Wars’, another online RTS, was one worth playing. In the sense of game play, both Evony and ‘Tribal Wars’ were both very alike and were about building an empire and conquering others with military campaigns. However inter-player interaction in ‘Tribal Wars’ was very limited to simple e-mails. Whereas in Evony each player has the option of having <strong>SIX</strong> chat rooms for instant messaging between players.</p> <p>Another thing that ‘Tribal Wars’ was missing that Evony has is the beginners protection options. In Evony, as you may or may not know, when you create an account, you get a seven days grace so to speak. It basically means that for seven days after you create an account no one can attack you. But in tribal wars you are vulnerable right from the second you create an account. That makes it very hard to get started with every one attacking you.</p> <p>One feature I found really unique to Evony is that it has a speed up system. This is where if the project takes under 5 mins you can instantly build it. But never fear, for those long projects you can buy/win a guideline to decrease the time of a project for up to 8 hours. Finally an RTS were you don’t actually have to wait three hours for a barracks.</p> <p>Anyway enough about ‘Tribal Wars’ here is a quick run through of some of the Features of Evony, don’t worry I’m not going repeat any of the ones above. First is the amulet system, every day as a daily quest you get given an amulet just for logging in. then you can play the Wheel of Fortune so to speak. Most of the time you get something that’s worth about ten times more than your amulet.</p> <p>You also get a choice of over 100 different servers to play in, hundreds of quests, an almost endless supply of men and buildings to create. Even the graphics are actually really good. Believe it or not they show your villagers building your projects. I think the only bad thing I can find is the loading time, but my internet is the slowest on the earth so you shouldn’t need to worry about that.</p> <p>Oh and to wrap it up in gold foil, if you are willing to pay some cash they do have packs of ‘cents’ which you can use to buy some extraordinary items. All in all Evony is the best online RTS I’ve ever played and I look forward to playing it further. If you haven’t played it I suggest you do, cause it’s the next generation of RTS.</p> <p>Since nothing is perfect, I give it 4 and a half stars</p>
