Evony

Evony is a browser-based medieval war and city building game. It is by far the best in its genre that I have come across. You can view one of your cities (where you build baracks, cottages, etc.), your city surroundings (where you upgrade resource fields, or the main map (where you can find NPC's or real people to attack). You start as a simple player with one city. As you gain title and medals from attacking and expanding, you can start to build more cities. Eventually, you can have up to 10 cities in your empire. There is a very helpful quest mode to teach you the basics of the game. There is also an in-game chat session where you can ask questions in the newbie chat or discuss strategy within your alliance chat. Alliances can grow to 100 people deep so war can be very fun if your alliance is helpful. There is a forums area where you can read guides or post smack talk. This game will keep you entertained for hours a day or you can play it for 15 minutes a day. How much you want to play is your choice. The game is free to play, but you can buy game coins for a slight advantage. One of the cool features of Evony is they give you a spin on a "prize wheel" every day where you can win some of the features that can also be bought. This helps to even the playing field between free members and paying members. You can be a force without paying a dime. There is a good defense system which allows you to build up your walls just like castles in the Medieval times. It is very possible to defend yourself against large attacks unlike other games. If you enjoy building up cities to use for war, this is the game for you. You will not be disappointed.
