www.evony.com but it is slow, kinda a day by day thing, i am in server 5 and server 12 (12 is new but completely full of newbies and will be until their inactivity gets them the kaboot and 5 is dying out since my alliance is rocking everybody) Ya... good thing to have going in the background but because of how many people that could be on it gets laggy...
Jist of it:
• Build up initial city (you have 7 days of newbie protection and oh do you need it)
• Mass armies and train heroes (train as in send out on attacks and make them mayor or something)
• Build or capture more cities
• High strategy mind required... kinda
• Much patience required
• I am at a point where making a single upgrade took 94 hours (patience is key

)
• MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN AN ALLIANCE (you need an embassy first)
• READ THE INTRO STUFF SO AS NOT TO MAKE REGRETTABLE MISTAKES
• follow the beginning quests but it helps to stray off a bit early to increase lumber/stone/iron/food production (wood gets expensive, stone you need a lot of for walls and stuff/ iron for soldiers/ food to feed population and military)
• Ask me for help (sometimes things are confusing)
• Buying game cents is 100% optional as game is said to be intended to be free and not necessary to be good at (it just speeds things up, for a game that takes a long time even if you spend money on it, my opinion is that it is not worth it)
• Save "Game Cents" they can buy good things
• Be careful with amulet, apply it from the "my items" instead of the roulette image in lower left corner, you could accidentally spend game cents that way
• be smart with troops, make sure to scout things out, and prepare good defenses
• It starts out pretty confusing but quick to get used to
GOOD LUCK
P.S.
~i am willing to help you guys or join whichever server you are in, but for the time being i am controlling 5 and 12
