I have been playing this relatively new web based game now for a few months called Evony. It can be found at Evony.com. This game is fun for those that enjoy the strategic games that allow you to build an army and use that army to conquer both NPC's and other players.
The nice thing about this game is the way it is set up. When you first join you are under beginner's protection for 7 days. This is to give you the opportunity to learn the game and build your city so that you are not completely defenseless once out of protection. Now while the whole game is pvp, you do have alliances and your alliance can set up friendly diplomatic relations with other alliances to provide a strong united front.
The game itself is free to play with the option to buy what's called evony cents. These cents can be used in game to purchase essentially power ups. The power up provide reduced building time or research time or troop training time. There are also power ups to provide production buffs for your resources or even to get you more money in taxes from your city citizens.
My plan here is to give a strategy for starting that I have found that works for me. In your beginning city you want to focus on all the first quests it gives you. These quests walk you through getting started and how to do certain things. Once those are done you want to get your walls to level 2 and your town hall to level 4. Do not go higher than level 4 on the Town Hall before your 7 day protection expires or you will lose it.
You want to have 10 cottages and 10 barracks in the town. This will allow for the best diversity of population and troop training. You also want to be sure to have an academy to research your technologies. As for resource fields, I recommend 8 farms 8 sawmills and the rest split evenly between iron and stone. Each upgrade of the town hall gets you 3 resource fields so keep that in mind. Following these steps will get you started.
As for your army i would focus initially on building warriors and workers. A good base is to have 3000 warriors and 2500 workers. Then once you have learned informatics from the academy and one of your barracks is level 2 train up 500 scouts. This will give you a decent sized small army for attacking and conquering the level 1-3 valleys located around your city. These valleys generally give bonuses to resource production.
This gets you started and generally can all be done within the first 3 days of protection. After that just keep upgrading buildings and researches and expanding your army. From this point on it's basically your preference on how you progress. I strongly recommend joining an alliance as they can provide valuable insight on the game and also provide help.
Thanks for the time and I'll post more on the game in the coming days.
