Evony's lawsuit against Bruce Everiss for shaking the tree at the Chinese gold farming-driven operation is well under way, with websites such as Offworld and Gawker reporting on the news along with every other respectable gaming website on the internet.
As scuttlebutt would have it, some people remain unimpressed with Bruce Everiss's findings and have questioned his lack of evidence against the Evony operation. As such, I've taken the liberty to provide evidence of Evony's blatant use of artwork from Age of Empires II: Age of Kings.

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings
Evony
Walls Rescaled.
Stables No modifications.
Archery Targets Cloned and stamped.
Dome Cut and pasted.
Building side #1 and #2 Cut and pasted.
There are more stolen graphics in the game, of course, but I can't be bothered to sift through each and every building. If it's proof you wanted, this should more than suffice.
