What Is Evernight?

Evernight "The Reign of Darkness" is a strategy game that pits you against other players in a quest to conquer the world of Midia. This world is filled with a vast number of conquerable regions.

Each new player begins with only a single region, however, by deploying your forces and launching calculated attacks into the surrounding regions and player's kingdoms… the player's borders rapidly expand.

Gameplay

Game Lobby

In a standard game the tick runs once every 24 hours, except on weekends and holidays, at a set time each day. This allows you approximately 24 hours to enter your orders for each cycle.

The War Room

The game interface a player sees is called the War Room. From here, armies are called forth to do battle against opponents and cast devastating spells with the power to change even the landscape of the world itself.

Player Lobby

Rankings are generally run in different groupings, includingRank, Games Finished / Games Played, Wins, Experience, and Skill Rating

The Verse

There are 6 forms you can call upon within Evernight, each tied to a specific religion and conjured from a temple dedicated to that religion.

Chron

From the craggy peaks of Midia I brought the stony powers of the ground forth in the form of the Colossa. The creature stands as tall as a fortress, and its granite skin is near impervious. Wherever this titan walks death will follow, and even the bottoms of the frozen seas will not be safe.

Zan

The noblest of the Forms, this golden beast soars higher than even the mightiest sorceror… It was this supernatural creature who stood at my side when the Demons turned, and it was Amber wings that carried the lightning cry of K'Ar Tüf to the battlefield.

Mindbender

As I had created the Amber from all things pure, so the Black Dragon was summoned from all things evil. Its chaotic appetite for death defied even my most delirious fears… and when its form rose from the twisting portal of MindBender, nothing was safe from its poisonous fire.

Incinerak

The ageless Incinerak sent the Magma Demon in my hour of vengenace not as servants, but treacherous deceivers. Their dry-witted cruelty and slavering thirst for blood have earned them a fearsome reputation and an intolerable attitude.

Bork

The strangest of the Forms must be the wide-minded Woodens. This all-seeing entity penetrates the mortal mind with the madness of Bork, and its ancient, splintered fingers crush legions in their grasp. Never before had I laid eyes on a thing so sublime… so illusory.

Crank

For centuries the machines of the Golden Age, the mighty Iron Hulks, lie dead and cold beneath the stony ground. But destiny will open the eyes of the mechanical God, and his legions will rise from their earthy tombs to devour the air and the land. Mortals will be ground under their heartless metallic tread...and the choked, smoggish age of machines will again be upon the surface of Midia.

Resources

There a two resources in Evernight. Treasure generated from the various terrain types and Fury earned though Battles!

build structures and buy lessers

Treasure

Used to build structures and buy lessers, the main combat force in Evernight. You start the game with 50 Treasure. Each turn, you receive Treasure according to the number and type of regions you control.

Most of the region types have a special property and produce varying amounts of treasure.

There are 6 different region types within Evernight: plains, dunes, swamp, dead forest, mountain, and frozen sea.

Fury

Fury is used to cast spells and to summon and fuel forms. You start the game with 35 fury. Each turn, you receive more fury based on how well your lessers performed in battle the previous turn. You gain 1 point of fury for each enemy lesser they killed and 1 point of fury for each point of damage they did to enemy forms. When your forms kill enemy troops, you do not gain fury. Instead, that form gains experience and becomes harder to kill.

Fury is used to cast spells and to summon and fuel forms
