Ibory. A single or multi-player experience.
Ibory - For Mobile and PC (and probably smart fridge if you really wanna) is a single-player Evony remake, with an optional multiplayer layer wrapped around it (looking for players to beta test!) We already have 10 active players; several who have given rave reviews and can't put the game down.
Beta testers will receive all cosmetics free forever. There are several already available as well as the beta tester exclusive "Bug Hunter" castle skin, march, and frame. Join the discord here: discord.gg/H8gErENmWe
It’s a from-scratch remake of the old Evony Age 1/Age 2 formula, built to run entirely offline on your phone or in a browser, with no ads, no energy timers, and no pay wall. No pay to win. Free Forever. After beta I will likely sell cosmetics to support the project. All cosmetics will be earnable through playing the game, so no spend required if you see a castle skin or frame you like!
The core idea: this is a single-player idle city builder first. Everything — building, training, research, scouting, fighting NPCs and AI lords,all work completely offline, with no account and no internet connection required. You can play the entire game solo and never touch a server. I wanted an idle game to play while I poop and now Im racing for top spot on the leaderboards! But you can still play that idle game if you wish!
On top of that single-player game, I’ve built an optional multiplayer layer: a cloud backup account lets you join alliances with real players, defend and reinforce each other’s cities, fight other players on a PvP battlefield, run timed invasions against other player for their resources and a currency called War Marks (not buyable, I'm dead serious about that no p2w thing), and see each other’s characters and cities on a shared alliance map. None of it is required. If you only ever want to play solo against the AI, the game doesn’t push you toward any of it.
What’s in it
Single player:
Build 10+ cities and form your army: Town Hall, Academy, Forge, Barracks, Warehouse, Walls, and the rest of the usual building set.
A full tech tree, troop training, and a hero system, with heroes you can level infinitly. Craft and level up gear for your heroes to make them even stronger.
A world map of valleys, NPC cities, and AI-controlled lords to scout and fight, plus historic cities to capture.
Resource depletion and regrowth on the map, so a tile you’ve farmed down visibly fades and comes back over time.
Quests, achievements, a searchable drop-table, and a prestige/scoring system that tracks your overall progress.
A War College puzzle mode.
Kingdom system with hostile enemies of varying intelligence.
High score boards.
A cosmetics system on a separate currency (Cosmo Coins, earned for free just by playing, no pay wall): frames, city skins, and march skins, including full UI reskins you can turn on. I show several of these options in the screenshots attached.
Multiplayer (optional, on top of the same save): There's even a toggle in the settings to hide all multiplayer functions including the chat! You can even choose to opt back out of multiplayer later if you change your mind.
Alliances:
A shared alliance map where members place their kingdoms, alliance chat, and an alliance-run Monster Arena. Work together to build alliance buildings and research alliance technologies in your academy!
PvP Battlefield for player-vs-player fights outside the main map.
Invasions: timed 18-hour events (12 hours of scouting, 6 hours of fighting) against other player, which pay out War Marks based on enemy troops killed.
A War Marks shop: spend what you earned in invasions on dragons that buff your hero, speedups, and other items. Dragons are a long-term grind by design.
High score boards and a profile other players can see.
The whole game is built to be a lot more idle than the original Evony games. You can set up auto farm routes for your heroes and auto train troops while you're away. Single-player is a fairly faithful blend of Age 1 and 2, while the multiplayer functions blend in only good elements of TKR.
