there.

the novelty of evony is wearing off. i liked the idea of being able to pkill other people in civ-type knockoff. but it turns out you can't even destroy their cities. kill their troops, steal their resources, and farm their gold. that's it. lame. what's worse is that to do well in the game, you've got to buy game currency [not gold] with real money. the game currency gives yo the abilityto develop a higher level of armanent, tech, fortification. without spending 100s$, you will only be a mediocre player. strategy and skill counts for nothing here. the only thing half way fun about it anymore is offending people in world chat with my screen name.

AC's suggestion of playing civ4 with the rhies and fall mod tempts me. i've never played that mod, but it sounds good. i remember installing it on an old laptop i found in a hospital dumpster a few years ago. when i first played it then, i think i started in the late evening. i got so absorbed in the game taht the next thing i knew, it was dawn of the next day. i kept playing another day and night before finishing 1 game. afterwards, i was seeing little cities, nuke blast sites, little warriors running on the sidewalk as i rode my bike to a coffee shop that day.

so, i even looked for that old laptop in my crate of electronics and found it. but, i keep getting a message to please insert cd. the game is installed, but i can't find the cd image [i used to mount the image with daemon tools or alcolhol 120 or sting then be able to play it]. i never had the cd. the no-cd crack won't work without at least an image of the cd. my internet connection is too slow to download the 1.4 gb image file.
