Welcome to Evony!

Dear player,

Welcome! Evony is a massively-multiplayer real time strategy game.

Everything that happens in Evony takes place in a real-time persistent
world. Construction, research, troop training, attack, and defense
strategy are completely under your control. When you log off, your
cities and troops are still there, attacking, defending and building
up resources. You begin the game as a minor lord of one small village,
but with work, strategy, teamwork -- and maybe a little luck -- you
can grow your village to the capital of a mighty empire!

As a new player to this game, you are in a 7-day Beginner's
Protection. This is a peaceful time for you to develop your city
without fear of attack, but be aware that the protection will expire
if your Town Hall reaches level 5 or 7-day period expires - whichever
comes first.

If you want a boost to help you get started, we are offering a special
package just for beginners. If you spend 30.00USD or more during the 7
days after your first login, you'll receive a FREE Beginner's Package
valued at 50.00USD. This package contains everything you need to get a
jump start in building your kingdom before you become vulnerable to
attack.

Since this is your first day in Evony. We recommend that you follow
the Quests. The quest system will guide you through the beginning
stages of the game and teach you basic kingdom-building and town
administration.

As you embark on this adventure, be ready to start interacting with
other players. Alliances are already formed and looking for members
like you, or you can choose to start your own alliance, or even go it
alone. Be aware that the game continues and resources will keep
building in real time, even if you're not online. By the time you
leave Beginner's Protection, your cities should have solid defenses!

Other players aren't your only concern. Barbarians overrun the land
and control many of the valleys as well as their own walled cities. If
you wish to take control of these areas, you'll have to dislodge the
barbarians!

Evony is a constantly changing, dynamic, persistent world. You may
gain Honor, Prestige, Rank and Title, all at your own pace and style.
You are limited only by your ambition!

Have fun and enjoy your adventures in Evony!
