Alright loyal subjects, your fearless leader (not me of course) has released a new Evony themed toolbar. It is cross browser compatible, and has a few neat features such as:
- You can search all of our sites using our new customized google search at AskEvony.com. You can use other search engines as well.
- Quick links to all our EvonyNet offerings, including Evonypedia, EvonySocial and my favorite EvonyPress.
- A chat button where you can go to the Evony chat site and chat with other Evony users online.
- You can change the toolbar to show buttons from another Evony toolbar with many more links to other blogs.
Coming up is a feature that allows you to enter your construction time, and it will notify you when your construction is done! Like the idea? Hate it? Please post here and let me know.
Today is Monday, July 13th. If by Thursday, say, July 16 you do not see that feature, please feel free (or even obligated) to write to editor at info@evonypress.com. Believe me, he loves hearing from you, as much as you love sleeping. Emails are really his caffeine fix and fairy dust. I dare you to doubt me - I will forward to you the emails I get daily from him, which will teach you a valuable lesson in trust at least when it comes to this blog. On a typical day, I get around 40 e-mails from him, 3 from the rest of our team. We also have close to 5 million domain names, and growing, all thanks to him! So don’t be shy, write ahead.
Remember, I also get those emails, so be nice.

I do play Evony, not just blog about it. I don’t have much time to play it however, a good thing at my level, since it takes a day to build most things now.
I therefore have a strategy that I use in other similar games as well:
- Build up your city in a balanced way at the beginning. Follow our quick-start guide.
- Build your second city as soon as you can. That city needs only an academy to help you with research, and resources (and workers) to ship them to your first city (or their cash equivalent). Don’t worry about defending it, but if you have the extra time, put in a tower so you can ship the resources to your main city whenever you’re attacked.
- Do whatever it takes to build ballistas (and archers first). They will let you conquer a lot more with fewer troops. See our theory crafting page.
- Build as many cities as you can - probably only one more at this stage.
- Now you have lots of cash, resources and friends in your alliance. Send me some, please. Hey, without me you’d still be stuck trying to upgrade your walls as if anyone is going to attack you, and loosing thousands of warriors a day in a futile battle against one forest level 11.
My method will take you longer to build a weak army, but it will make it much quicker to build a strong one. It might be harder to raid resources at first, if you’re in to that sort of things, but hang in there, soon you’ll be as good as the guys who play twice as much.
As of the new patch today, don’t bother abandoning your second city to create a low level barbarian city with more resources - it will revert to a flat. Evony, apparently, are running out of real-estate space, so warrantless extra-judicial demolitions are common. See how smart my strategy is by not relying on abandoned cities?! (<– Rhetorical question.)
