Winning items in battle is the primary way to acquire resources and cities. Some items will accelerate the player's progression through the game. Īll of Evony 's items must be purchased with gems which can be bought with real money, through its item shop in game or won at the wheel. An army can include siege machines, such as ballistas, catapults, and battering rams, and foot troops, such as archers, warriors and swordsmen. As with similar games, the player first has to increase the city's population and hourly resource production rates as well as construction of certain buildings in the city, and then start building resource fields of their city and building an army. The resources in the game are gold, food, lumber, stone, and iron, and the city's idle population. The player sets tax rate, production and construction. This gives new players the opportunity to accumulate a few resources and troops and get accustomed to the game before other players can attack them.

A new player is given 'beginner's protection,' which prevents other players from attacking their cities for a total of 7 days or until a player upgrades the town hall to level 5 or higher. Evony is set in a persistent world during the medieval time period in which the player assumes the role of a lord or lady of a city or alliance.
