No one can possibly have missed the ridiculous Evony ads plastered everywhere. It all started pretty innocent but the amount of pixelated cleavage steadily increased.

ALright, seems like a standard medieval internet game, nothing special.

The advertising team finally drops the ball.

Searched around a bit and a lot of people have written about it:

Yea, they realized hits went up as they increased the cleavage I guess. And yes, the latest Evony ad is just a giant pair of breasts.

Wow, I thought it was just a perverted game and wat's up with all the cloning?
CS = Special Forces, BlackShot then this is a Civ clone per say..

Yeah forgot about dota being cloned to HoN or LoL.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Wow I don't even remember the first one. It's pretty funny when you think about it... hundreds of guys clicking on it and then playing the game, persistently moving forward in it hoping to see boobs after beating some boss or reaching level 69 or something ^^

I totally agree with you. Even the music industry follows this trend, let alone advertising. It's about shaking that booty now instead of the music.

I played it for a bit. It's not a bad strategy game at first, but the late game is totally broken. Once you have ballistas and enough tech upgrades, you can build and farm these NPC cities with no losses. You get so much resources and food from them that you can just pack your cities with barracks and keep building almost indefinitely. Since you can never send more than 100k soldiers with a single attack (125k if you use a rare item), a defender with enough troops in his city becomes virtually impossible to kill or even scout. It turns into a stalemate pretty quickly, and you end up having to constantly be online to farm your NPCs so your troops don't starve.

I guess it's a lot like warcraft 3.
