The beginning

So, as a farmer I started my slow and laborious building of my empire on Evony.

The rules are different here so I made a lot of mistakes of development.
Anyway, one rule is common in all strategies games, you must be part of of an organized alliance, otherwise you risk to be wiped out.

But bad luck, my first alliance was nice but not organized. So when nearby rised an aggresive neighbour, I took my tools and fled.

After a month I raised nice farms of npcs, but the game owners moved us in a new server by merging 7 szervers, so I needed to build again my npcs. Now again, alliance not organized, a nasty neighbour started to bully me, just telling me to teleport. How could I if I already used my teleports?

So he sent full attacks, so all I could do was to raise loyalty, and this continued for 5 hours.
Finally he stopped, and asked him why he stopped, because I could continue 3 more hours, and after that drop the city. He sayd that just plundered me :) Yep 5 hours in a row. :))

Anway , I was smaller, there was no organized alliance so sure I would have lost or dropped the city, But I won 1000 coins and bought teleports and was gone.

Here was war too, but my zone was quiet. But not for long. Even I have rebuilded, and made enough soldiers I was not prepared for war yet and one enemy teleported near me. Our sizes was similar, so for sure would have been just waste of ammunitions, but the same for sure would have stopped my development.

And then, other black bigger clouds raised at horizont. So my alliance got allied with the ex enemy to be able to face the new one that approached. So I had time to develop finally. The war was nearby but far enough so I can develop without involving directly. I was just sending reinforcements and supplies when needed.

This was only the first phase, a long one, but without glory. But now I was prepared for the worse. Still no real organizing even there was few of my allies that fighed heavily with the enemy, but there was no headquarters to organize around the clock defence, and real attacks.

But they prepared the battle ground for me, and when I came, I won.

Anyway, the story of my victory will be posted in the next chapter : Victory
