Evony Updates

Once again the developers at Universal Multiplayer Game Entertainment (UMGE) have done some more updates.  Unfortunately as usual UMGE have not told the MMORPG Players what has changed.

There are no “recent changes” on their website, when logging in to Evony, on their forums, or even an in game mail.  Any or all of these mediums could be used by UMGE to let the players know what has changed.

The main change in the last update has made lots of people very sad and even angry.  This is because of the loop hole with attacking barbarian cities with just balllistas has been fixed!  What this means is that people logging in today have lost hundreds and sometimes thousands of ballistas as many people just send off the attacks on barbarian cities without watching them.  The barbarian cities used to be able to be attacked with just ballistas and transports, and as the ballistas have more range than anything else on the game (except catapults!) and there was a glitch that they would not move forward in battle, even though a ballista’s speed is supposed to be 100 (compared to archer speed of 250).

After the update, people sending just ballistas and transports are suffering losses of nearly half of their ballistas.  This can be very hard on evony players as losing that many ballistas can leave their own town open to attack.  The other problem it presents is the problem that ballistas take so long to build.  So players trying to rebuild their lost ballistas are forced to be quiet for a couple of days until their army gets back to fighting fit.
