Evony has announced a major expansion to their famous title with Evony: Age II. The expansion will begin to roll to game servers this week.

The new version of the game adds new quests with historical context, a completely redesigned graphical interface, and Facebook connectivity. Features include:

Facebook Connect Integration – Players can share the latest on their empires with friends on Facebook – they can give gifts, visit neighbors’ cities, post achievements (new to Age II), display quest completions and recent activity and form new tactics with post-battle reports.

Improved Graphics – New art and graphics introduce an easier-to-use interface, high-resolution buildings and detailed animations.

Upgraded Chat System – Regional Chat was created to help beginners see only the important messages in their area, substantially improving the nature of in-game chat for new players.

Historical Content – Recruit help from history’s most powerful figures and take control of some of the world’s most renowned ancient cities.

War Declarations – Manage all threats to your city and prepare for pending invasions with an all-new war declaration system. Be ready to defend at any hour of the day, armed with knowledge to protect your kingdom even when away from the computer.

Strategems – New combat modifiers to influence intelligence gathering and disguise plan of attacks.

Hero Control – Equip heroes with custom crafted equipment and new items to be the ultimate leader on the battlefield.

New Balanced Colonization System – New PvP colonization system enables powerful players to increase their empire, while allowing weaker players to protect their domains through an overhauled combat system. With more land to conquer than ever before, the battles will grow to epic proportions.
