Step One - How to Begin at Evony

When you first register at Evony you are then taken to your Town!

At the top you will see three tabs - Town - City - Map - these are your views of the area. Pretty obvious that Town shows your inner town view (inside your walls). City shows the extended city view (town walls plus your fields) and the Map shows the whole surrounding countryside.

The Town and City Views you will use the most.

Two things are your best starting jobs. Create Cottages and create Sawmills.

Cottages allow people to move in (they move in automatically if there is room). More people mean more workers and MORE Gold (from tax revenue).

Sawmills allow you to get more lumber. Lumber is your main resource for building things throughout the game (although you also need stone and iron).

So creating cottages and Sawmills is as easy as clicking on grass squares in the right place and choosing what you want to build. Inside the Town you can build cottages and out in the City you can build Sawmills.

I would suggest building 4 (four) Cottages and 3 (three) Sawmills ASAP (as soon as possible).

As you build them the systems takes a little time to get them created (you will see the worker working and a fence around anything inside the town). But lucky for you it has a speed up feature that is free for the things that are quick to build. So once you have created either a cottage or a sawmill - click on it again and then you will be able to choose speed up - which will build it instantly. Then the cottage or sawmill will be level 1 (you will see a 1 in front of it).

While we are there why not make it level 2 - simply click on it (you may already be on it if you just clicked the speedup) and click 'Upgrade'. This will get the little builders working again - and again you can click speed up.

So go ahead and build 4 cottages and 3 sawmills.
