Wikipedia will answer your questions better than I could. Here's their intro sentence, which pretty much sums it up:

Evony (formerly known as Civony) is a browser-based multiplayer online game with graphic elements reminiscent of Civilization. The game received mixed critical reviews, and its ongoing online advertisement campaign featuring provocatively dressed women, begun in the game's inaugural year, 2009, continues to draw strong criticism.

What the heck is Evony & why are they trying to sell it with boobs?

Same reason why women in RPGs wear chainmail bikinis, except there are no actual boobs in this game. *NM*
