Parent Pro-Tip
Set strict time limits and disable in-app purchases completely before allowing play. Evony's aggressive monetization and 24/7 pressure make it unsuitable for extended play sessions.

Parent Pro-Tip
If allowing limited play, focus discussions on strategic planning and resource management decisions. Ask your child to explain their development strategy and why they chose specific upgrades or troop compositions to reinforce strategic thinking skills.
What your child develops
Evony offers moderate strategic thinking benefits through resource management, troop composition planning, and tactical decision-making. Players must balance economic development with military preparedness, managing multiple cities and coordinating with alliance members. The game requires mathematical thinking for calculating resource costs, build times, and optimal troop ratios. Alliance mechanics provide genuine social coordination as players must communicate strategies, coordinate attacks, and support each other. The variety of civilizations and generals offers some creative customization options, though gameplay remains formulaic within the genre's constraints.
