Evony has a concept called city gates.  You can read about it in a little more detail at our Evonypedia site.   OR I can save you some time and tell you right now that in the rally spot dialogue box there is a check box asking you if you want your gates open.  If you open them then your troops get to fight when an army invades them.  Otherwise, well, take a guess.  Nope, if you said they are protected, you’re wrong.  They are just sitting ducks for attacking archers.  I haven’t seen proof of it myself, nor read anything authoritative about it, yet I have it from a good source, sort of our guild leader in BOOM on server 14.  So, there seems to be almost no point in keeping your gates closed.  Ever.  Well unless you know you are attacked by an army of sword carrying dwarfs (they need the elves to shoot arrows). 

Another concept in evony is alliances.  If you’re not a member then join one, there’s no membership fee, and you will get some reward from the quests button.  I know, I know, what about the quitting fee… None either!  Free.  You can talk to your allies for free which makes the game more interesting and they can help you with resources or questions you have, after, of course, you’ve checked our evonypedia.  Oh, a little tip, if you don’t find the article you want on evonypedia, but do find it on another wiki, like theevonywiki, or were told about it, do me a favour and copy it, and paste it into an email, and fire it off to contribute@evonypedia.com.  It will appear on the site in like 5 minutes, because as I keep telling you our editor never sleeps.  If it’s not there in 5 minutes, post a comment here and I’ll reply with his phone number. Don’t worry, you won’t wake him up.

The main benefit of an alliance, as in the real world, is your military power. You would therefore think that you can coordinate an attack in your alliance against a target and completely annihilate it with 100x the troops it has.  Well, you can coordinate all you like, but you can’t attack all together.  So an attack has to come in waves.  The first attacker will be the strongest force to weaken the defences as much as possible for the next guy, and similarly for subsequent attackers. 

The problem is that if you’ve got a much larger force than your enemy the evony battle simulation gives you a decided edge.  You overwhelm the other side and almost take no losses at all.  If you are in an alliance and know your city is about to be attacked you can ask them to reinforce your city with their army.  Open your gates and make sure you can host many armies (your diplomacy centre has to have a high level).  As the defensive side, you have an overwhelming edge over the attacking alliance.  If you assemble a truly large enough army in your city that it takes no losses even against the best army of your enemy (which will be fought first) then no matter how large the attack force or alliance is, you’re safe, and you will take almost no losses. 

If that really is the case, then the only way you can get attacked successfully is if your own alliance turns on you.  So you better be very nice to them. 

Hey, I ended up a blog post without any self-serving statements, yay!  (I believe I’ve already made those statements at the beginning of the post)

You saw that You-tube Evony tutorial video I linked below, right?  Well, we were so happy to be there that we contacted the team.  I can tell you they are really talented, but I can’t force you to believe me.  Still, that shouldn’t stop you from looking at their new video about archers or subscribing to them.  They told me they would tell me ahead of time on their next video scheduled release, so tune to this channel (blog) to be the first to see it.   You can subscribe to my blog as well.  Did you notice the little RSS icon on the right pane?  Click on it and copy the URL if it doesn’t display nicely in your browser.  Paste the link in your favourite RSS reader and subscribe.  Thank you very much.

Here are some very compelling reasons that you should use the Evony quick-start to start a new city in Evony:

1. Our guide looks better.   You will be looking at it, won’t you?
2. Our editor knows his stuff!  He’s very analytical.  He will tell you to build an academy early on so that you can parallelize your construction and training soldiers with researching and save time!   Other guides don’t seem to care about saving you time… sad sad sad.
3. We were here first!  Thousands of users already read it, and liked it, maybe, I don’t know really, I just know many come back.  Either way, I liked it, except for the parts about how much resources cost at the market and not having more insight into the game.  Yes, I am trying to promote that guide.  He promised he’ll fix it.
4. Did I mention out editor doesn’t sleep nights?  That means if you get stuck somewhere and the guide doesn’t help you then you can just post a message here and complain, and he’ll fix it right away.
5. Actually, if you offer him good advice, corrections, etc.. and click on some of his awfully ugly and irrelevant google ads (or just tell him you did – although he probably counts them between Evony constructions) he’ll pay you with money!
6. Actually, he won’t give you real money, but he’ll give you real game money, even though I didn’t talk to him about it at all!  Because I know him, and he loves it when others try to help him out, and he goes out of his way to help others.         We are just friends.
7. Did I say leave a comment here for improvements?  Certainly do that, but for other stuff, like bugging our editor, why don’t you do it yourself.  His character name is nynaeve on all Evony servers, and he’d usually be one of the first few players on a new server thanks to our notifier.   He actually was the 3rd new player on world server 10 and now has the largest alliance by far (Aiel).   He also has a blog, so feel free to file all complaints directly to him there.
