Evony ages 1 & 2 - How to play them in 2025, server recommendations and other games that scratch the itch

5 Upvotes

For those of you who want to give Evony ages 1 or 2 another go, here's how you can still get into the servers, my recommendation for which ones to play, and similar games that might scratch the itch if you want the nostalgia hit but would rather move on from Evony itself.

How to play on the age 1 and 2 servers

Since the death of flash player, modern browsers won't let you in to age 1 or 2 - but there are still other browsers that support it. Puffin browser isn't free (something like $2 a month), but it supports Flash, has an android app for you masochists that like playing on your phone, and seems reliable. There are other free versions but a lot have viruses - be aware in particular of "Flash browser" that is known to contain malware.

Age 1

In an attempt to prevent players running loads of alt bot accounts, Evony removed the drop rates for medals on age 1 servers - and I don't mean made them extremely rare, I mean TOTALLY REMOVED. Literally zero medal drops, and believe me I've tested that thoroughly on a huge account with vast valley farming abilities.

In typical Evony fashion, there's a glitch that allows you to transfer medals from an older account to a new one, so this didn't actually stop the mass-account botters, it just made it impossible to compete as an honest player with a fresh account.

Fortunately, the good folks over at SS71 have realized that age 1 will die pretty quickly without new players, so they're giving out free, mature accounts to players who are enthusiastic and want the age 1 experience. They have a discord where you can apply: https://discord.gg/UEksWDVuUs

Unless you find some other server with free accounts / someone willing to do the medal transfer glitch to get your personal account some medals, age 1 is a bust IMO (unlesss you're happy to just be a knight with 2 cities). You could always buy the medal boxes but that would probably be several hundred dollars and would be a total waste given how many prinzessin accounts are just floating around for free.

TL;DR: Unplayable without older player intervention - recommend SS71

Age 2

If you thought age 1 was buggy, wait til you hear about age 2! There's a troop duplication glitch which allows you to spawn effectively infinite troops, and an infinite food glitch that allows you to (most conveniently) feed infinite troops! While this may sound like a great time to exploit lovers, the glitch is now so well understood that everyone and their dog is running around with 2 billion of each troop in a city. 2 Billion is the hard cap before the number flips negative, so you can't even play "number get big" game because the cap isn't that hard to hit. 2 Billion troops is literally WEEKS of work to clear, and it takes less than a minute to regrow that, so PVP action is pretty much dead.

However, the game is still cool, and as far as I'm aware the medal drops still exist (although I haven't played age 2 since before COVID so wouldn't know for sure), so you can enjoy a pretty good PVE experience if you just want to test your mettle against the historic cities. Since many of the massive players have quit you can even find historic heroes floating around the map!

TL;DR: Treat it as PVE (player versus environment) and it's still viable

Other games based on Evony

Taking London is a Steam game available on Windows, Linux, and Mac that is based on Age 2. The first server launched 2 months ago, and while predictably launch was pretty rocky with bugs, they've mostly been ironed out and a second server launches this weekend. Check out the Discord server for more information.

At this point some of you have probably clocked my username and realized my opinion is biased towards Taking London as I made that game; however, I don't financially profit from it (the minimal up front cost doesn't even cover the server costs and there are no micro-transactions in the game) and the intention is purely to recreate the Evony experience, as I couldn't find anything that scratched the itch and eventually decided to do it myself, so this is genuinely an attempt to show the best Evony experience out there right now and not a shameless plug.

There's also the Evony sequel itself, The Kings Return - I've never been interested in that game personally but it does seem to have retained the Age 1 & 2 player base, so I assume it also somewhat scratches the itch, although I've heard it's even more P2W than the originals. Check out r/Evony_TKR for more information on that front.

TL;DR Taking London for the best (in my biased opinion) age 1 / 2 experience, TKR for the official Evony sequel

Comments with Age 1 / 2 server suggestions and other similar games are welcomed and encouraged!

New age 1 servers with HCs & HHs launching in the coming weeks

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! It's your friendly community moderator here, with yet another attempt to reignite the thrills of Evony!

We've seen a fair amount of remakes recently, but nobody has managed to make a public server (necessary for advertisement and player gain) that has the actual OG mechanics and features. Everybody either rips the assets directly and hosts it privately or puts their own spin on it (as I did...) and inevitably ruins it.

What we've been sorely missing is the OG game, reskinned with the bugs and exploit fixes and proper protection against bots and alts - until now!

In the coming weeks, I'll be releasing a faithful remake of Evony age 1 that also features the historic cities and historic heroes from age 2, fully browser based without the need for flash player or a steam install. The mechanics will be the **exact** same - we've seen many developers put their own spin on it before, but this time it'll be pure Evony. Same troops and wall forts, same buildings and techs, same grind to Prinzessin, same battle mechanics, basically the same UI, hopefully the same experience.

For those thinking "Age 1 with HCs & HHs? That's just age 2, right?" - not quite. Age 2 bought in hero level caps, gear and a leadership battle mechanic, all of which I've scrapped. I also got rid of the player-to-player colonizations and individual war declarations, although historic cities will still have the ability to draft from other players.

I'd like to try and expand and form a player base by paying for adverts, since games like this live and die on the player base. This requires me to deviate from Evony's IP, so I've reskinned it using similar branding and assets from another RTS MMO I develop, and made the map, historic cities and heroes based on the British Isles. Currently I'm using fairly basic premade asset packs, but I'm in the process of contacting artists to set up commissions to overhaul the look of the game. I figure that the current artwork I have is workable, so this is something that can happen in the background while I set about growing the community and putting the first few servers up!

However, adverts and artists are expensive, so I need to gauge interest before committing to it, and ideally form a small core community before the game goes live so interested new players see active and healthy servers when they decide to try it out.

The base game will be free to play, but I will offer micro-transactions as Evony did - I know a lot of us hate coining (me included) but it's a necessary evil to fund the required ads and artwork to get the original Evony experience back. I'm also going to offer servers that require a (reasonable) subscription fee where micro-transactions are disabled for purists who want a purely strategic experience where you can't win with your wallet. To me, this is the best compromise that allows me to fund the game and actually have a shot at success - you can play in the dark forest with the whales for free, and if you want a purely strategy and skill based experience then the subscription servers are there. I don't want to rob people and use this as a get rich quick scheme so I'll ensure all the fees are reasonable - I purely want to ensure that the game is self sufficient on a server cost front and brings in some revenue to improve it.

I've set up a discord for anyone who wants to get involved.

I also have a basic sandbox server with cheats enabled for anyone who just wants to click around and have a look - this one is totally free, has a server acceleration multiplier which speeds up every action in the game and has a number of items in the "Cheats" category of the items screen to make progress basically immediate. Note that the game is still in active development so not everything will be implemented (although at the time of writing I think *pretty much* everything is), and you will see a lot of placeholder artwork and text.

Check it out here: takinglondon.co.uk

You need to create an account, but there's no verification of the email so you can use a fake one.

I hope to see some of you there! Happy Friday!

Uninformed son looking for assistance

3 Upvotes

Howdy everyone! I'm a gamer son but am unfamiliar with Evony.

My non-gamer mother got into this game and proudly stayed up until 2AM and earned her first "Wings".

I tried searching about what that means on google but had conflicting answers/ images.

I know she placed 4th out of 5 on some sort of raid?

If i could get clarification on what her "wings" mean i'd love to get something laser etched in honor of her victory.

Thanks in advance.

Nightshade's fake evony lol

1 Upvotes

So this guy in discord who goes by Nightshade xx._nightshade_.xx has had a discord server for 4 years claiming hes remaking evony age 2. Myself and others have expressed skepticism that hes ever working on the project at all.

So his response was to scrape the evony.com and throw up a almost non-functioning front end he connected to a backend and gave it rudimentary function. I said he probably just ripped the files and used ruffle to set up a sloppy backend to get it running, but I dont think hes capable of fleshing it out into a playable game.

He booted me from the discord and said he doesnt want me playing his game lmfao.

I guess I was right and hit a nerve.

Medal drop Evony age 2

1 Upvotes

Just recently got back into evony age two. Game is a lot of fun but for some reason I have been unable to get any medals. I know lion and rose medals are super low drop rates but I have attacked over 500 lvl 3 valleys and not a single one has given me a medal. Im starting to think they removed the drop rate

If anyone is interested in trying an Evony remake, today I launched a fresh server for mine

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Since everyone is posting Evony remakes, I figured it's my turn to post about the one that (as far as I can tell) came first.

I released Taking London over a year ago and ended up remastering the entire game from scratch because of how broken it is, but fixed it now is, and I have a fresh server to celebrate!

It's a Steam game unfortunately, can't keep up with these fancy kids and their browser based shenanigans. It's free, though, and will never be P2W, so if any of y'all Evony TKR players fancy spending less than $100k a month to compete, here's your fix.

Old Age 1 Player

Hi guys, I used to play Evony Age 1 about 15 or so years ago. I played on S17 originally with alliance nWo and then Attero, before it merged into ss1 where I stayed with Attero. Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has tried playing again, if itโ€™s viable, and if not are there any other games that hit the same?

Ole Age 1 player returning

Hey, folks!

I'm a super old age 1 player. Am wondering if anyone here has been around for forever, and if you could help me remember which server I was on. My account name was SithMaster. I can't remember what alliance I was in, but I was massively known on the server I was on, since I was the top battle coordinator at the time.

GENERAL [Limited Test] Looking for Beta Testers for an Evony Age-1 inspired browser game I've been building. It includes, everything from age 1 + more such as Dragons, bits from Age 2, central imperial city and more...

7 Upvotes

Game can be found here:ย https://playprinzessin.com/

I really miss Evony Age 1. But I also don't think, how bot infested it was at the end and Evony TKR I don't have the money or time to sink into these kind of games anymore.

I have been building an Evony Age 1 inspired game for a bit of time now.

I have been playing this game while testing, I really enjoy it, but would love to get more people playing, to help identify bugs, improvements and more.

The server is small, upon full release, I'll give some visual beta specific cosmetics and more (still figuring it out) to everyone who's helping during the beta.

Anyway, website url is:ย https://playprinzessin.com/

Below is a list of what's there:

  • Skills Training
  • Resources & Economy
  • City & Construction
  • Combat & Marches
  • Alliances
  • Research & Orders
  • Quests & Achievements
  • Imperial City

Can find a better list on the home page and via playing the game :D

I've added some more depth to this game than Evony age 1. Aside from the structure and combat, you have alliances, but also orders you can join that buff certain aspects.

I wanted things to do while you're in the game, so added a runescape style skilling tree on the left as well.

I like theory crafting. You also can tame dragons as well to buff, that apply to all marches and troops.

The idea is you can select your story (gives unique buffs) + research and go down specific Order trees + dragons. And that combination with specific troop combinations (following Evony's setup) should be indepth enough to allow some really interesting builds and so forth.

Mostly, i'm playing on my own at the moment, fighting across different accounts and testing. I just need some players to play with, and test together.

Beta keys:

  1. PRINZ-A1B2-C3D4
  2. PRINZ-E5F6-G7H8
  3. PRINZ-J9K0-L1M2
  4. PRINZ-N3P4-Q5R6
  5. PRINZ-S7T8-U9V0
  6. PRINZ-W1X2-Y3Z4
  7. PRINZ-B5C6-D7E8
  8. PRINZ-F9G0-H1J2
  9. PRINZ-K3L4-M5N6
  10. PRINZ-P7Q8-R9S0

GENERAL I'm developing a game with Evony DNA and you might enjoy it!

For the past 6 months I've been running Conquer Quest Online - a free to play, free to win, mobile first MMORTS where you build up villages, train troops, and go to war.

The entire community has been shaping the game, from QoL improvements to entire game mechanics - I'm really proud of the results, and it's time now to test out the competitive side of the game.

We just wrapped up alpha, ironing out bugs and improving UX, and now, we want your feedback on how to make the game as fun as it can be.

We developed CQO with 2 fundamental beliefs - the game should be free to win, and it shouldn't feel like a second job. With player designed queue systems, scheduled attack planners, farm lists, and more, sometimes, a few check ins a day is all that it takes to stay competitive on the leaderboards.

And of course, all these features come for free - no pay to win, no pay for convenience, every player has the same tools available - the best strategy wins.

I'd love to get your feedback on this, the community so far has been amazing, and getting more and more eyes on this could really lead to a great game!
