I wonder if they also got in trouble with that costume shop Jon Shafer found.
-TomThe real question here is why Jon was searching for sexy forest fairy costumes…
Well, they did take that chick off their ad banners, and have now replaced it with a medieval knight guy. So I’m guessing “yes.”
I wonder where they “borrowed” the knight guy from?
The knight looks sorta familiar, but I can’t place him. Once you’ve played 10000 games, you stop remembering their names :)
I saw the new Evony ad over at MobyGames. Isn’t there a way to reserve yourself against specific advertisers, or do GoogleAds suck donkey dick?
Evony and Ibory…live together in perfect harmony!
Yeah, I noticed the Evony ad here too. Also, I spotted a Crossfire ad in the rotation, which makes me wonder if they ever got around to removing the assets they “borrowed” from Counter-Strike. What’s next, ads for Limbo of the Lost?

Oh, Evony can give Limbo of the Lost a run for its money. They in-game art is ripped directly from Age of Empires II. Compare this castle, for instance, with the third screenshot on their media page. The other buildings and terrain are all from AoE, too. Pretty blatant.
That knight guy in the banner (and on their site’s front page) is really bothering me, though. I know that I’ve seen him somewhere, I just can’t remember where. The insignia on his breastplate looks familiar, too. Hmm… it’ll come to me.
Research for our next game… I mean… oh snap!
Someone else from work actually found it, to be perfectly honest. ;)
Jon
Thanks for the link. My wife’s been looking for a fairy costume for a long time. Will have to get her one from there.
Yeah sure, it’s for your wife…
Looks a bit like the Mortal Combat logo, maybe that’s what you’re thinking of?
Still, the knight himself seems familiar to me too somehow.
RACE WAR!
I must say, I preferred the first queen, egregious copyright violation that she was.
The new CG queen’s dead eyes are STARING INTO MY SOUL!
But does she have vast tracts of land that you can make into your property?
The sleeve clips through her arm as well. Obviously it’s a render done by someone who’s never learned how to use Daz Studio properly (or Poser, but the grey shade on her cheeks shouts "done by someone who can’t use Daz Studio).
I love the “mystery sword” that’s threatening to part her giant breasts in a completely non-sexual manner.
I wish someone would capture these screens in a post so I don’t have to give Tom more pageviews to look at what people are commenting on.
He’s so evil.
The new Civony queen makes me think of those “amateur” porn videos that are really just an old fat guy paying some girl to have sex with him in his basement. The girl looks into the camera and you can tell she is just doing it for the money.
Yup, the queen has that same expression.
What is the deal with her skin tone. Is she a Wax mannequin come to life? Her coloring is icky.
