Step 1: Set Up MuMu Player

MuMu Player is our recommended emulator because it generally provides smooth and reliable performance across a wide range of systems.

  1. Download and install MuMu Player: https://www.mumuglobal.com/
  2. Create a new Android 12 instance, which is the recommended and default option. You can also choose Android 15 if you prefer.
  3. Install Evony and sign in to your main or alternate account.
  4. Confirm that Evony opens and loads successfully.
  5. Set the game language to English under Evony’s settings.
  6. Disable automatic updates for Evony to help prevent compatibility issues following future game updates.

Step 2: Set Display Resolution of MuMu

You must set this resolution for compatibility with ESB.

  • Open MuMu Device Settings and go to the Display Tab.
  • Under Resolution, set it to Portrait.
  • Use one of the following custom options:
    • 540 x 960, 240 DPI
  • Click OK. Restart if asked.
  • Go to the Performance tab and select DirectX (recommended). You can also choose Vulkan if you prefer. Click Save and Restart.

Step 3: Android Debug Bridge (ADB) – Finding Port Numbers

The bot requires the correct ADB port number to connect to your MuMu instance.

Port numbers are usually above 16,000.

If you run multiple MuMu instances, each instance will have a different port.

Method 1 — Check Inside the Bot (Fastest Way)

  1. Open the Bot.
  2. Go to the Start tab.
  3. Look at the Emulator Port field.
  4. Check the Port Scanner section (bottom-right area).

The Port Scanner will show:

  • Running MuMu instances
  • Their assigned port numbers

Enter the correct port into the Emulator Port field.

Method 2 — Check Directly in MuMu Player

  1. Open MuMu Player.
  2. Click the menu icon (top-right corner).
  3. Click Settings.

  4. Scroll down to the ADB port section. The second number (for example: 16384 or 16416) is the port you need to use in the bot.

Step 4: Setting up Performance on MuMu

Emulators use your PC’s resources like a virtual Android device. Setting them properly avoids lag and crashes.

  • Go to MuMu Settings → Engine Tab
  • Click Customize
  • Set CPU: 1
  • Set RAM: 2 GB
  • Save and Restart if asked.

✅ That’s it! MuMuPlayer should now run Evony smoothly with the correct settings!
