Anyone come across Evony yet?

[Geoff]

I have, and it's kinda addictive (which is partly why I've not been on as much recently!)

Evony free version

If you like CIV and similar, you'll like this.

You can choose an alliance to join; I joined "Boobs" just for the name...

I've been playing this for the past couple of weeks too, you're right about it being addictive, could be kinda interesting to set up a Ratz alliance in one of the newer servers if we could get a few more people interested in playing.

I do.... I just know what I'm like with addictive games. I once handed over 3 months of my life to Settlers II, and I only conquered 3/5 of the world.

It's fair to say that not every is taken with this game, especially the way it's being marketed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evony

Evony's 2009 online advertising campaign was criticised for featuring what The Guardian called "a string of increasingly racy images."[3][4] The images depicted females who, as the ad campaign continued, grew further and further unclothed, until the ad was simply a pair of breasts.[4] A running slogan for the campaign was "Save the queen!", although within the game, there is no queen to save. [4]

One 'Save The Queen' advert featured a woman without a bra or panties lying on the floor with a sword pointed at her breast. Another advertisement used two ladies with their eyes closed and the motto "Save Your Lover," It said "Play Unnoticeably", despite the fact that Evony does nothing to hide itself from network logs and its URL and cookies will still be present in a web browser's history like any other website.[citation needed]

Evony was also accused of using spam promotion.[3]

The game was developed by Universal Multiplayer Game Entertainment (UMGE[5]), a corporation that has been linked to WoWMine, a Chinese operation known for online gold farming.[3] Criticism made regarding the game has been removed from Evony's forum by moderators.

The game and website currently uses graphics from various games including Age of Empires: The Age of Kings and Age of Mythology [6][7] as well as descriptions copied directly from Sid Meier's Civilization III and Civilization IV, as well as from other Mods and Wikipedia. [8]

During the ongoing advertising campaign a particular advert featuring a fairy was apparently taken from the website costumecraze.com. The owners were subsequently informed and blogged about this.

Yeah I've seen some of those adverse reveiws (and of course it was the tits that got me into it in the first place!). Still a good game, though, as long as you don't fall for paying anything for the "bonus packages" which aren't needed.
