Servers

Age II
There are several servers on Evony. A server is commonly a computer that has lots of storage, but not always a Screen etc. Evony owns several servers that host maps for players to play on. All the maps are the same in terms of Historic Cities, but Valleys, Cities, and NPCs are different. This makes every server unique, but all of them have 'bad' spots for farming or valleys. Some servers have larger maps and some have smaller maps

Map
All Age II severs have the same layout of the map, with 16 states and their historic cities in them. The layout of the states is like this:



On the servers, the states are arranged in a large square, 4 states along each side, like this:

Please note the map repeats along all edges, so it has no "end". It looks a bit like this:

Historic Cities
Historic cities (or HCs as they are commonly called) are a type of NPCs found on Age II servers. However, in comparison to regular NPCs, they are a lot stronger. There are several levels of HCs, level 12, 14, 16, and one level 18 per server. The level of the HC indicates the level of the Town Hall inside the city, meaning that a level 12 NPC has a level 12 Town Hall and Rally Spot. When conquering from NPC, HCs do not have any resource buildings built. However, they offer upgrading of resource buildings past the usual limit of 10 to a higher maximum level, depending on the level of the HC. A Michelangelo's Script is only required for upgrading to level 10, but not the higher levels. Ditto for level 14, 16, and 18 HCs. For details on the HCs in the states, follow the links in the first table above.
