Instant troop requirements in Evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 4 Aug 2012 14:03:00 -0700

In evony it is possible to build troops instantly if the the level of Military Science , Metal casting and most importantly attack of your hero is high enough. You can build troops in 0 seconds based on the attack of your hero, literally.
Below is a table of calculation for , what type of troops you can build instantly at what level of Military Science, Metal Casting , hero attack combination.

Table based on the formula of: (base time)*.9^(technology level)*.995^(hero attack) < 1 to equal 0 seconds, as the game rounds time down.

Evony Instant troops calculation table

In this table the

top row MS/MC represents level of Military Science / Metal Casting . Therefore first column indicates MS/MC at level 0 and second column indicates MS/MC at level 2 and so on.
The rows indicate different troop/unit types. Below the name of each type of troops is how long, in seconds, it would require to train without any technology or hero bonuses. Moving farther downward, it is in the order designated in-game, and not solely by base time.
The coordinating values indicate the level of attack the mayor of the city training troops/units must be to attain instant-train ability. The table specifies every troop/unit, and recognizes any level of technology.

For example ,

If you have a 700 attack hero and Military Science and Metal casting both at level 10 , you can train warriors and workers instantly, as many amount of troops you want because each single unit will be trained in 0 seconds, provided you don't run out of resource or population. If you use Excalibur, you can train pikemen and even swordsmen in no time, having then an attack of 875. As the attack of your hero increases you can start training other units instantly too.

Advantages of instant army

You can build your army with just a single barrack in your city and rest of the space assigned to cottages. Since all the army are built at0 seconds there is no need for keeping multiple barracks, so delete the barracks except keeping only one and build cottages in that space so that you don't run out of population.
In a nutshell if this is the requirement for the attack hero to build instant troops Instant troops:

THIS IS YOUR ATTACK HEROES JOB!:

Warriors: 432
Workers: 571
Scouts: 709
Pikesmen: 790
Swordsmen: 871
Archers: 959
Cavalry: 1,030
Transporters: 1,168
Cataphract: 1,249
Ballistae: 1,388
Battering Ram: 1,468
Catapults: 1,526

Also your political hero with very high politics can build wall defense instantly. Below is the table of requirement of hero politics to build instant wall defense , given that your techs are at level 10.

Instant Wall defences:

THIS IS YOUR POLITICS HEROES JOB!:

Traps: 607
Abatis: 745
Archer Towers: 826
Rolling Logs: 965
Trebuchet: 1,066

Exchange reinforcement to prevent getting drafted in evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:36:00 -0800

Exchange reinforcement to prevent getting drafted in evony.
This post is going to be the shortest but one of the most essential tip in evony age II. Most players get into problem of getting drafted from high level HC's (level 14, level 16 or the Atlantis). To avoid getting drafted follow this simple trick
1) find a player of your alliance who has a city nearby.
2)send your troops to his city and also tell him to reinforce your city(optional).
now since reinforced troops can not be drafted both your troops and your friends troops will be safe from drafting. Also if you keep the troops reinforced into nearby city , you can recall them quickly when you want to attack anyone.

Evony Age II hero gear system

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 8 Feb 2012 11:10:00 -0800

Workshop pt 1
Info about "The Workshop" and gear upgrading.
Gear can only be worn by heroes lvl 10 and up.
Heroe Lvl Gear lvl
0-9 no gear
10-19 lvl 1
20-29 lvl 2
30-39 lvl 3
40-49 lvl 4
50-59 lvl 5
60-69 lvl 6
and so on.......I'm sure you get the idea.
Each upgrade to a piece of equipment will downgrade it's star lvl by one (more on that in a bit)

Workshop pt 2
Creating equipment
Workshop lvl determines the lvl of equipment you can create.
Always start with creating the charm and ring first as they have 2 slots on your heroe for only makung one.
Mount Training increases your armies movement speed.
It takes materials, and armour scripts to build the equipment.
Each upgrade enhances the bonus associated with that piece of equipment.

workshop pt 3
Equiping Equipment
When you build a piece of equipment, all heroes have access to it, it is not just one piece for one heroe.
You can specify what that equipment enhances on the heroe for each individual heroe.
Politics, Attack, or Intelligence
You equip the equipment in each individual heroes attribute window. (One click works best)
And if you like you can always change what the equipment is giving a bonus to for every heroe.

workshop pt 4
Star Power
Flawless and Delicate Gems increase Star Power
This part is kind of like gambling, and sometimes really annoying.
I think star power can go to lvl 20....or something like that.
the more gems you use the better chance of the star upgrade working, but be warned if it doesnt work you may be starting all over again.
There is a set lvl each failure will take you back down depending on what lvl you are currently trying to get, but I don't know these values off hand.

workshop pt 5
Star Power
Be warned the higher the lvl you are going to, the higher the fail rate, and the bigger the penalty.
Thankfully Delicate and Flawless Gems are easy to get.

Materials (where to get)
Armour Scripts - Wheel Of fortune, NPC'S, or you can buy in the store.
Materials (iron ore, wood, etc.) - Wheel Of fortune, in-store , from NPC'S.
Gems - Wheel Of fortune, in-store, and NPC'S....lot's from NPC'S
I hope this makes sense to everyone

Get 8 mil resource within an hour

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:00:00 -0800

Attacking valleys is a great way to generate resource in Evony . But to get resource you have to attack the valley without conquering the valley. if you attack a valley with your valley slot full then you wont be able to capture the valley but you will get 300-600k resource from that valley.
Again if you capture a valley and then release it then the valley will regenerate the resource and troops within it. Thus you need two cities near a lvl 10 forest or hill.
1) Send 30k archers, 1 work,war,sc,pike,sword,cav,phract from the first city with valley slot full. As the valley slot is full this attack will not be able to capture the valley but well get the resource. you will get 300 K to 600 K lumber or iron from each attack.
2)Send another attack with one scout from the other city (with a open city slot ) to capture and abandon the valley . these attack will regenerate the Valley immediately with the source and troops.

The big wave will bounce back, but will loot the valley, then when your scout lands it will capture the valley.Immediately abandon the valley.
This way, if you go on repeating the waves in sequence with camp time of 1 min, then with every attack from the first city you will get you 300 K to 600 K resorts each time.

Resource lost due to archer loss

the max loss in lvl 10 valley, from
1 hit = 500-1000 archers.
60hits = 30k - 60k archers - that is a loss of 10.5mill - 21million wood and iron. average = 15.75 mill

the mini loss in lvl 10, from
1 hit = 0 archers, 1 cav, 1 sword, 1 pike, 1 phract
60 hits = 0 archers 60 cav, 60 sword, 60 pike, 60 phract - so around 5000 res loss...

the average is 15.75million + 5000 /2 = 7877500

Meaning of pack,Lots,few,Throng etc terms in evony scout report.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 1 Jan 2012 13:00:00 -0800

In the beginning few days of the Evony online MMO game, when the informatics level is low, the Scout reports of valleys and and cities does not contain the exact amount of troops defending the valleys . Instead the report contains some terms like the Few , Pack, Lots,Horde,Throng, Swarm, Zounds, Legion, Bulk, Giga. It becomes difficult to find out the exact number of troops you have to send in order to defeat the defending troops in the valleys unless you know the meaning of those terms. Here are the list of terms and their meaning is
Few: 1 - 24
Pack: 25 - 49
Lots: 50 - 99
Horde: 100 - 249
Throng: 250 - 499
Swarm: 500 - 999
Zounds: 1000-2499
Legion: 2500 - 4999
Bulk: 5000 - 9999
Giga: >10,000

Defence types in Evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 07:34:00 -0800

Basic rules of battle mechanics in Evony.
1)All troops move according to their speed.
2)They attack the first troop which is within their range.
3)If two or more different troop types are within striking distance to each other, then they attack the unit with highest speed (In compact defense) , And ranged units attack closest troops unless there is a range unit within range. They will ignore any and all troops and focus on ranged units.
4)If more then 1 range unit is with range they attack the troop with the highest total attack value.

In a 5k defense. Troops are attacked in the following order:
Cavs
Phracts
Pike
Swords
Wars
Workers
Archers

(Even though archers are faster than warriors and workers, archers stop once a troop is within range so wars and workers will pass them)
Archers attacking will follow the same order as in foot troops since the advance out of range of defending archers. However wars and workers will be within defending archers range so attacking archers will over look them and attack archers between warriors and workers.
Archers attacking in following order
Cavs
Phracts
Pike
Swords
Archers
Wars
Workers
Scouts don't get involved in battle until all defending troops get killed. After defending troops get killed scouts attack city ATs.
Defense types

5k Defense

This is the most used type of defense in evony. Typically you are supposed to have each type of wall fortification on your wall.
Preferred Wall Defense (well for me)
16100 Ats
2k traps
2k abatis
100 DTs
50 logs
Preferred Troops (low layering)
larger amount of archers

400k archers
400k wars
600k scouts
300k swords
20k pike
10k cavs
5k phracts
10k ballistas
2k pults
(these are the important troops)
Strengths:
Effective against cav, phract and ram waves when layered properly.
Lower Food Upkeep
Weaknesses:
Sustainable to Archer and mech RBs
Not so stable when offline

Compact Defense

The key to a Compact Defense(CD) is 0 traps abatis, and defense trebs. as this forces the enemy to fight your entire army at once instead of 1 at a time.

Preferred Wall Setup

18k ATs
250 rolling logs
Preferred Troops

Heavy Layering
Archers aren't needed as much as in a 5k defense but always good.

300k Archers
500k wars
600k scouts
100k pike
500k swords
100k cavs
50k phracts
30k ballistas
10k rams
4k pults

Strengths:
Very affective against Archer RBs and mech hits
Forces enemy to use more troops
Sturdy even when player is offline
Weakness:
Troop Upkeep can get more expensive do to heavy layering
Open to cav and phract smacks
Sustains massive damage from a ram attack

Reinforcement

You can get Plundered if you try to transport or reinforce someone much larger then you in prestige.

Formula

0-2.99x prest = 0% losses
3-4.99x prest = 46% losses
5-6.99x prest = 73% losses
7-8.99x prest = 86% losses
9+ x prest = 93% losses
Its not a 100% chance that you will be plundered. Might get lucky but the formula above tells you max amount of troops you can loose.
Breaking Defense
Best way to break a CD is a ram attack, cavsmack or phractsmack. The closer you are to the defending city the more effective you can make the hit. Adding 1 archer, 1 ballista, and 1 pult will give your attack 3 extra rounds free from fire from enemy archers. But at the same time will increase march time. So very important to know when to add them and when to hold off adding them.
CD have no traps or abatis leaving them weak to these attacks as they get in range of all troops in 1 round doing serious damage.
Best way to break a defense with 5k settlers is a mech wave or an archer RB.
5k defenses are weak to these attacks as the defending troops march to attacking opposing army depending on their speed. This forces defending troops to spread out allowing archers to pick them off 1 unit at a time.

Evony Hero Experiance guide

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 07:13:00 -0800

In evony heroes play the most vital role in determining which player will become more powerful and win in battle. Knowing to use the heores correctly will make the difference between you and your opponent. Heroes can produce more resource in city and kill more enemy troops in battle. Its inpossible in evony online game to progress very fast without having good heroes.
Here is the beginning of my post.

Heroes

I)What each hero is used for

1)Politics

A)As mayor

-Increases amount of resources you get per hour.

-Cuts down the amount of time it takes to build

something.

B)When attacking

-Increases the chance of capturing the enemy hero when capping city.

2)Intel

A)As mayor

-Cuts down time it takes to research something in

academy.

B)When attacking

-Increases the chance of finding medals/battle items.

-Increases troops defense. (Each type of troop gets a boost up until intel reaches a certain point.)

3)Attack

A)As mayor

-Cuts down time it takes to make troops in barrack.

B)When attacking

-Increases the individual troop attack, therefore increasing the chance of winning a battle.

C)When Defending

-The hero that has the highest attack in your city is automatically chosen to defend the the city.

II)How to train a Politics/Intel hero (I know of 3 ways, but will only post 2. If anyone knows of more please feel free to reply.)

1)Use this hero to attack lvl5 NPCs but give the points to

attack. When he hits 160 attack start to hit lvl10 NPCs

when you feel he is strong enough and has gained a lot of

points use holy water and replace the points into

politics. (This way can be expensive but fast)

2)Use your hero and attack lvl5 NPCs send your normal amount

of balls and trans as you would with any other weak hero,

but also add 1k warriors to 5k depending on how many you

can afford or how much experience. 1k is usually enough

but sending 5k will set of a few more.

III) Honor/Exp

What determines how much experience you gain.Its is not by how many troops you loose or what type of troop you loose. experience is gain by how many of the opponents army/defense you take down. So on a lvl5 NPC you gain experience from the troops you kill. Since you're not take down the logs, traps, or abatis your bot getting full experience.sending warriors will set of the logs and also some traps, but even though sending cavs will set of abatis they r expensive compared to the cheap and quick to make warriors.

IV)Loyalty

Each hero has a base of 70 loyalty when first recruited from the inn. You can increase hi loyalty by either giving him gold or if you are low a medal. (Can also be rewarded with an item Excalibur, Wealth of Nation or Art of War) All of your heroes should have a loyalty of 100 at all time by rewarding with gold. This can be done every 15 minutes. If the heroes loyalty is to low he can leave or if you get attacked then there is a chance he will leave and get captured joining the enemy.

V)Gold

Each hero is payed in gold. The higher the lvl of the hero the more he is paid. If you have no gold in the city the hero will just leave.

VI) Main Hero

This is very important. never attack with your main hero. he has to remain in your city to builf troops and defend the city. The only time he sould be out is 2 attack NPC's.

(1) Using items.

- Anabasis: Increase hero's experience by 1,000 or 8% of current level cap

-Epitome of Military Science: Increase hero's experience by 10,000 or 30%

-On War - Increase hero's experience by 100,000 or 100%

This is typically the least common way of increasing a hero's experience since you either need to buy these items or win them off the wheel. And once you get to a high enough level, 8% hardly puts a dent in your experience.

(2) Being Mayor

The experience you receive from making troops only goes to the mayor of your city when the troops are FINISHED being made, not when you originally queue them up. The following is a list of how much experience you get per troop that is made.

-1 Worker: 1.125
-1 Warrior: 1.525
-1 Scout: 3.475
-1 Pikeman: 4.5
-1 Swordsman: 6.75
-1 Archer: 7
-1 Cavalry: 14.25
-1 Cataphract: 43.75
-1 Transporter: 14.875
-1 Ballista: 50
-1 Battering Ram: 68.75
-1 Catapult: 145

-1 Trap: 4.375
-1 Abatis: 8.375
-1 Archer's Tower: 27.25
-1 Rollinglog: 31.5
-1 Defensive Trebuchet: 83

(3) (The most common) Through attacking other players, valleys, and NPC's

As you all know (I hope) the most common way to get experience for your hero is to send him/her on an attack. Your hero gain exp by the amount of troops you kill not by how much you loose!!!

-Worker - 2.25
-Warrior - 3.05
-Scout - 6.95
-Pikeman - 9
-Swordsman - 13.5
-Archer - 13.5
-Cavalry - 28.5
-Cataphract - 87.5
-Transporter - 29.75
-Ballista - 100
-Battering Ram - 137.5
-Catapult - 290

-Trap - 8.75
-Abaitis - 16.75
-Archer's Tower - 54.5
-Rolling log - 63
-Defensive Trebuchet - 166

The following is a list of how much experience you will get assuming you destroy every last enemy troop, including traps, abaitis, and logs. The number in parenthesis is how much experience you'll get if you only send ballistae and transporters, simulating a farming situation. Of course your results may vary depending upon how many traps, abaitis, and logs you take out when you attack.

-LvL 1 - 10,030 (1,280)
-LvL 2 - 27,615 (2,215)
-LvL 3 - 74,852 (40,602)
-LvL 4 - 112,551 (41,770)
-LvL 5 - 204,681 (93,212)
-LvL 6 - 325,262
-LvL 7 - 518,100
-LvL 8 - 752,220
-LvL 9 - 1,152,150
-LvL 10 - 1,865,000

VIII) Capping/Loosing Heroes.

When you get attacked you can cap the hero if the attacking hero has low loyalty. Heroes can be lost when spamming your enemy so to spam its best to use heroes that you wouldnt want to loose. And evony has confirmed that heroes CAN be lost scouting no matter how unlikely it is of happening.

IX) How to give hero.

To give a hero away you will 1st have to attack an npc until the hero loyality reaches 0. This step isnt needed but will help speed things up. After hero reaches loyality of 0 you will attack the city in which the other player wants to receive hero. Of course this step may need to be repeated as just having 0 loyality wont mean hero will automatically transfer.

X) Rank needed for hero persuading.

Hero Level Title Needed
1 - 9 Civilian
10 - 19 Knight
20 - 29 Baronet
30 - 39 Baron
40 - 49 Viscount
50 - 59 Earl
60 - 69 Marquis
70 - 79 Duke
80 - 89 Furstin
90+ Prinzessin

XI) Medals needed for persuading heros

Hero Level Amount needed Medal Needed
1 - 50 - -
51 - 60 1 Cross
61 - 70 2 Rose
71 - 80 3 Lion
81 - 90 4 Honor
91 - 100 5 Courage
101 - 110 6 Wisdom
111 - 120 7 Freedom
121 - 130 8 Justice
131 - 140 9 National

From lvl 131 and up a National medal is needed to persuade a hero. And the amount of national medals needed increase 1 every 10 lvls.

The formula for the amount of National medals needed is
((Hero Level Round Up Nearest 10)-50)) /10.

Examples:
Hero Level 278 requires = (280-50)/10= 23 Nation Medals
Hero Level 200 requires = (200-50)/10= 15 Nation medals
Hero Level 183 requires = (190-50)/10= 14 Nation Medals

Some heroes have been shown to not follow the chart, but most do. And the amount of gold needed is always 1k gold for each level.

XI) Instant Army

XIII) Hero Base

And finally this could be the most important aspect of a hero. The hero base is basically how we determine a heroes potential. The higher the base the more we want it to be our main hero. You can choose between high base attack, politics and intel.

Hero base is the lvl of the hero subtracted from the main focus of hero.

IE: attack is 680, intel is 60, politics is 13 and lvl is 600

Base is lvl attack 680 - attack 600

so base is 80

Base bellow 60 are worthless. Only use is for spamming.
Base of 60-63 are bad but worth keeping.
Base of 64-66 are ok.
Base of 67-69 are good bases which you should look for.
Base of 70-79 are incredibly lucky finds if found in inn. These are heroes you want.
Base of 80-89 are the best heroes. These can ONLY be found in Mars item.

Base of 90+ and you know ur addicted to evony case your dreaming of hero bases.

Use camp timing to coordinate attacks

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 22:38:00 -0800

in Evony, camp timing plays a very vital role while more than one player tries to coordinate their attacks on a single target enemy city or most essentially against historical cities. It is almost impossible to capture an historical city if you're breaking waves does not launch with a very close 5 to 10 seconds and in order. Timing is also essential in defense, imagine your enemy scouts in and see that your city is very low in troops. The enemy launches his attack, and your alliance mates reinforce you just 5 second before the attack hits your city. The enemy won't be able to recall his troops within that five seconds and will lose all the troops in a flash.

Camp timing is simply adding some extra minutes or hours to the ETA of your troops. It will delay the attack timing by the amount of camp timing you add.

In this image there is no troops are selected, so the one way trip is 0 second and the arrival time is 20:55:12.

In this image a camp time of 1 hour is added so the one way trip is 1h 00m 00s and arrival time is 21:56:36.
This looks quite simple, but the trouble arise because the arrival time is based on your local computer time based on your time zone. Thus if your server time is 05:42 and your computer clock time is 8:42 then adding 1 hour camp time will display the arrival time at 09:42 based on your computer clock timing. This causes a serious trouble if two different players of different time zone are trying to coordinate attacks to arrive at same time, because there are local computer timing are different.

To solve this problem, two players must set their time zone to central time (us and Canada). This way both their computer local time with same, and the sync timing will be more accurate.

However if you're playing age-2 , it is advised to remove the mounts of your heroes.

Even with these set up, you may find that the actual time your attacks hit the target differ by a few seconds from what it was shown in the rally spot interface. In the rally spot it might have been showing arrival time as 22:10:55 but the attack might have been actually hit at 22:11:00, introducing a further delay of 5 secs.
to avoid this problem, do some dummy attacks with 1 warrior and a hero on some historical city and check the difference of timing between your war report and alliance war report. If the difference between two is 5 seconds then set your camp timing accordingly.

So simply plan a attack to hit on a Minute mark say 15:00:00, then find look at the report and see when it actually hits , if it hits at 14:59:55, then your clock is 5 seconds ahead so next time plan you attack to hit at 15:00:05 and this time you will account for the difference in seconds.
Remember to eat every refresh of the browser or restart of the computer the lag time will change and you'll have two measure the lag time all over again.

Evony Age 2 and Facebook

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 11:11:00 -0800

The biggest change in Evony Age 2 over Age 1 is that , now evony has added facebook to it. Now a player can log in with just emailID-password like Age1 or can log in with Facebook ID. But if u play evony using facebook id u will have many great advantages over a non-Facbook player. Nowadays most top alliances made it compulsury to have a facebook account to join the alliance and may even expel you , if u don't have facebook. The main advantages of playing evony Age II with facebook are
Advantages
1) You will gain more resource from your FB friends
2) You receive upto 20 evony Amulates everyday (amazing isn't it?).
3) Receive tons of troops, Holy water ivory horn , gold and other stuff.
4) Reduce your troop upkeep to 50%(Well , that is juicy).
Disadvantage
1) Your facebook wall will be full with posts from evony.

To login to evony Age2 using FB , u can open evony login page and write ur FB login ID and password there or login to Facebook and search and click the Evony app there.

After you login to evony with Fb you can send ally request to or simple Fb friend request to other evony players . Most people send request to the alliance mates. Just send a group message to all alliance member with you FB email or Fb name.
Once you become Fb Friend with another player you can start sending and receiving gifts to them.
If you don't have enough amount of people in your allience, then you can search the the evony groups of FaceBook. There are many people in Facebook who are dieing to increase the number of evony friends. just search google with evony facebook group . In every group wall u will see there are tons of people looking for evony mates.
Gifts you can send or receive depends on your evony rank and title. gifts range from 500k wood to an amulate. You can send amulates (Minor fortune pack, don't know why it is called Minor, this is the juicyest gift ) if you are a prinzessin you can send amulates to others, and of course if you have prinzessin friend they may send u amulates too. But Beware you can accept only 20 gifts everyday.
Fb has a limit of sending 40 gifts a day, but if u select less than 40 friends, then u can send gifts to many people everyday. Just divide them into many bunches of less than 40 people in each bunch. 20-25 people in bunch worked best for me . I hope evony and FB will keep this bug unfixed for many many days.

While playing the evony, after certain interval Facebook messages will pop up into your screen , telling that you are into some sort of trouble or having some excess stuff. You will be suggested to post that message to your FB wall and ask your FaceBook friends to click that post. Whenever your FB friends click that post you will receive some bonus itmes. Also , the guys who are clicking on the post will receive some bonus. Each post can receive upto 10 clicks and each player can click 15 posts every day.
Most populer Fb posts are
Hungry no more - reduce 5% troop upkeep with each click
Cavalory - 100 cavalory with each hit
Ivory Horn
Holy Water
and off course resources.

Now , next Fb bonus that you can get is the Ally visit bonus. You can send ally request to your FaceBook friends, if they accept your request then both of you become ally to each other. Everyday you can visit your ally kingdoms. With every visit you make to your ally, you will receive some resource bonus. Similarly , if your ally visit your kingdom then you will also receive some bonus. A player can receive maximum of 8 greater bonus resource pack and 22 regular bonus resource pack.
The amount of bonus increases with increase of your title. In beginning days these bonus seems to be a lot, and you won't have wait for resources to accumulate from resources field to continue dual build.

This way you can see that an evony player with facebook account will have a lot of advantages over a non-FaceBook evony player

New additions to Evony Age 2

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 00:18:00 -0800

With the introduction of it's new improved version the Evony Age 2 , Evony has changed the rules of game playing a lot. Most of these features will bring a new level of game playing over age1 , while some of the features arguably minimizes the fierceness of the battle. Many age 1 players started playing age 2 very lightly just for the sake of testing new the changes and started liking Age 2 over Age1 , while many still swear by their Age I servers and still not ready to change to Age2. But as more and more Age 1 super servers are merging together , it seems more and more age 1 players are moving towards Age 2.

Most exiting changes in Age 2
1) The graphics has improved a lot in Evony Age 2. There are more animations on the valleys and buildings. The designs of the builds are a lot better. While this may look better but also takes up more memory of your computer so expect " browser refresh" more often.
2)First 3 days dual build. In the first 3 days of beginner protection , a player can build 2 buildings or research simultaneously. So , the first 3 days are going to be the busiest days for player.
3) Addition of facebook. This is really of of the greatest addition to Evony. Some people may hate facebook , but the fact is you can get so much resource , items and ambulates from facebook that , it is no longer possible to become a good player in evony Age 2 without having a Facebook account.
4) Historic Hero. In age 2 Evony has added Historic Hero. These heroes have very high attribute point in politics , intelligence or attack. In every server , there are about 400 Historical Heroes . At the very start of the server you have to spend 10 game cents and get the location of the npc where the Hero resides. Then you have to attack the npc and capture the hero. Players who owns a historic hero has huge advantage over other players due to high attribute points.
4) Hero gear system. - In evony Age 2 , you can add hero gears to your heroes . You can research these gears in the workshop and with each research the atrributes points of all heroes who wears the gear increases. You need to spend items like Lost Amour scripts, wood, iron ore to research the gears. This is a very good way to earn revenue for evony.
5) Hero starring system - Along with hero gear research, evony introduced another way of incrementing hero attributes is the starring system. A player can spend some gems(Flawless gems and Delicate Gems ,another age 2 item) and upgrade the star rating. With every increase of star rating the attributes of the heroes increase.
6)Hero level limit - Unlike Age 1, Age 2 heroes can no longer have very very high levels. A historic hero can have maximum level of 150 and a regular hero can only have maximum level of 100.
7) Queen/King - In enony age 2 each player can own a Queen (if your character is male ) or King( if you are a female character). You can capture the Queen/King after you become Baron in title and complete a series of quests like capturing valleys and capturing level 8 and level 10 npc. The Queen has 2 specialty that a)she has infinite loyalty so she won't ever leave you. your enemy can never capture your Queen/King.
b) has base attribute of 85 in politics , intelligence and attack.

8)Leadership - In addition to attribute points , an Age 2 hero power also depends on the ledaership he/she has. The leadership is equal to the level of the hero for reguler hero upto maximum 100. Some Historical Heores may have very high leadership greater than his level. The more leadership a hero has the damage he can the amount of troops he can effectively control while attacking the enemy.

10)Colonization - A player can colonize other players city , which means the other player(whose city you have colonized) still owns his city , but everyday he will have to pay some resource attributes to you( or the player who has colonized).
11) Stratagems - These are completely new types of items that you can use to strengthen your attack on your enemy or to help your friend who is under attack. Using stratagems effectively you can do a lot of damage to a very powerful enemy without even going into direct battle with him.

I hope I have listed most of the major additions to enony Age 2 over Age1. I will list out more addition as and when I can remember them.

Buildings that you can delete in your second city in evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 08:21:00 -0800

In Evony you get 22 building spots inside each of your town. It is very essential to have as much barracks as possible to generate troops much faster. So, you have to know which building can be replaced with barracks and when.
I am explaining which buildings you can delete and when you can delete them.

Market - You should keep a market in one of your city and delete them from the other cities. You buy buy resource in that city and send them other cities.

Inn - Inn is the place where you can recruit heroes. You can recruit heroes from the inn and reinforce them to othere cities. So , keeping an Inn in every city is not very necessery.

Warehouse - Warehouse is not very necessary if you have more than one city . When under attack you can send gold and food very quickly from another city using scouts, for prying and loyalty increasing. So, you don't waste space for warehouse.

Workshop - Workshop is required in each city to develop walls. You can demolish the workshop when your walls reach level 10.( This is only for age 1, in age 2 you can no longer demolish workshops. if you do that u will loose the hero gear effect in that city)

Stable - You can build one stable in one city for completing the Horse back riding and upgrading relief station. Research Horse Back Riding only in that city where you have built the stable. Once you have level 10 Horse Back Riding you can delete the stable.

Forge - Forge is required for researching Military Science. When your Military Science reaches at 10 you can delete forge. Again , instead of building stable and forge in all your cities , you can build forge in one city and research military science there and build stable in another city and research Horse Back riding there.

Feasting hall- If your city is only for producing troops and you never attack anyone or NPC's then there is no need for keeping Feasting Halls in that city.

Buildings that you must keep in all your cities.

Cottages - You should keep at least 6 cottages in all your cities.

Academy - You must keep academy of same level in each city. If you keep higher level academy in one city and low level academy in another then the city with lower level academy will not get the benefits of high level researches.

Rally Spot - Without a rally spot you can not send troops to another city or attack.

Beacon tower - Without a beacon tower , you won't have information about the attacking troops. if someone attacks your city which has no becon tower you not be able to know what amount of troops are attacking you.

Embassy - If you don't have an embassy then your alliance members can not sends troops to your city for reinforcements.

Relief Station - without a relief station sending troops to another city will take a very long time.

Evony holy water to get powerfull heros from inn

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:25:00 -0700

In evony online game, you can hire heroes from the inn. It is always the best to recruit heroes who are at lower levels but have a very high attribute. This is because more higher level a hero gets , more difficult it becomes to level him up as the the experience points needed to level up increases with level in this game. So if you have a hero with level 40 and attack 80 and another with level 1 with attack 68 then it's always better to recruit the second one , because when he reaches level 40 he will have attack 108. This is where Holy water cones in very handy.

Holy water is an item that , can free up some attribute point of an hero so that you can reassign those points to a specific attribute in evony online game. When u apply holy water it is consumed according to the level of the hero. 1 holy water is consumed each 10 level of the hero. A level 1-9 hero will consume 1 holy water, 10-19 hero will consume 2 holy water, 20-29 will consume 3 holy water etc. Now , let me explain how holy water works

Example 1
Hero name : dunn

	Level	politics	Attack	Intell
Before applying holy water	2	35	69	35	Now , when we apply holy water on him , it consumes 1 holy water as he is level 2 and frees up 2 attribute point(1 holy water for each 10level). Now you can , reassign these 2 free points to his attack.
After redistribution of free points	2	34	71	34	So the hero becomes 77 attack hero at level 9

Example 2

	Level	politics	Attack	Intell
Before applying holy water	9	42	69	32	After applying holy water it frees up 9 attribute points and consumes 1 holy water as he is a level 9 hero(1 holy water for each 10level)
After redistribution of free points	9	39	77	28	So the hero becomes 77 attack hero at level 9

Example 3

	Level	politics	Attack	Intell
Before applying holy water	10	40	60	22	After applying holy water it frees up 10 attribute points and consumes 2 holy water as he is a level 10 hero(1 holy water for each 10level)
After redistribution of free points	10	36	68	20	So the hero becomes 68 attack hero at level 10

This way holy water can be used to make a hero more powerful in evony game.

The most effective way to find honor medals in newer evony servers

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 9 Oct 2009 12:57:00 -0700

In Evony online game, finding honor medals is the most difficult task. I found it even more difficult than finding rose medals. Initially it took me about 3-4 days to get each single honor medals. Later I found that, wit proper procedure and some good hard work i can get 3/4 honor medals each day. I saw posts about different theories like Intel heroes getting more honor medals, you must attack fully regenerated npc's in to get honor medals, spam attacking high level valleys, low number of ballistas and what not. I tried all those metods and blown up more than 200k troops in spam attacking valleys, but got just 1 honor medal from a level 10 forest out of 70+ attacks. It is not quit worth it compared to the amount of troop loss I had by spam attacking high level valleys. After trying many methods I found a simple method which really dropped honor medals for me , about 3/4 honor medals a day. The method I used is simply attacking level 1,2,3,4 npc's all day hundreds of time each day with all the heroes.

The method
1) Create at least 9 npc's of 1,2,3,4 level , very near to your city so that you can hit them within 30 mins. That means the "one way trip " time should be less or equal to 30 mins. Caution : once you get all the honor medals the 1,2,3 level npc's will no longer be required for regular farming. so, I would suggest to take a temporary city just for farming honor medals , create low level npc's around it and drop it later when you get all your honor medals. Or you may give it to other alliance member so that he can farm honor medals from it.
2) Now, send 9 waves of ballistas to hit them.
3) You can use any type of heroes as I had found the type of hero does not really mater. I had found most of the honor medals with attack heroes.
4)You should use any no of ballistas to hit them without loss. Now , as the one way travel time is 30 mins or less , all the 9 waves will come back home within an hour.
5) When all troops come back, again send another 9 waves. So , you are sending 9 waves every hour from each city. If you are doing this from 2 cities , that makes 18 attacks every hour, the more cities u use more better it is. You don't have to hit a fully regenerated npc in order to get medals.
Here are some screen shots of honor medals I got from half filled npc's

Set a target of hitting the npc's hundred or more times a day , you will surely get 2-3 honor medals each day. You will also get plenty of wisdom and courage medals from level 4 npc's as the drop rate of these medals are much higher than honor medals. So , by the time you get 15 honor medals you will have enough to all types of medals to jump to duke.

Some more screenshots to show number of ballistas really does not matter.

From level 4 with 500 ballistas

From level 3 with 400 ballistas( I can do level 3 with 100 ballis , but just too lazy to change the numbers, copy paste for all attacks)

From level 3 with 200 ballistas

From level 10 forest attacking with 16 k warrior and 15k archers.

The most effecttive way to find rose medals in evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 8 Oct 2009 10:05:00 -0700

In Evony online game, finding rose medals in the newer servers is one of the most difficult and time consuming task. Rose medals are supposed to drop from the low level valleys when you attack and conquer then. In the newer servers the drop rate of rose medals are reduced very much. The drop rate of rose medals are assumed to be 1%, yes that means you have to attack and conquer a valley up to 100 times to expect one rose medal drop. Evony game developers use this as successful busyness model, so that people get frustrated and go for buying medal boxes from them. While many people do not like this policy, this is not quite unusual that as a company they need to make profit and earn money from the game. But if you do not want to spend money and earn medals by yourself then you have take the method of spam attacking valleys.
The "spam attacking" valley is simply attacking a 1,2,3 level valley multiple times , conquer it then abandon it and again conquer it withing very short time. This way it increases the chance of getting rose medals as the number of attacks increases. Most people the chance of getting medals depends on intelligence of hero and type of valley. But, according to evony game forum moderator and my own experience, I found it is not true. I got all the medals from different types of heroes , lakes , grassland and forest( never tried hills). The only thing that really matters is the number of attacks, the more number of attacks you make the more chances that you get a medal drop. i have seen many people saying "oh, I have attacked it so many times and did not get any medal?". But when I asked they said they made only 10-20 attacks. Now, if getting rose medals would be so easy then I never would have been writing this post.

The process
1. Upgrade your Feasting Hall and Rally Points to level 9 and recruit 9 heroes.
2. Find a level 1,2,3 valley closest to your city. The valley should be within 5 miles from your city to minimize the travel time. [valleys are upgraded by 1 level in each server maintainace (like level 1 goes up to level 2 and level 10 goes to level 1) , so you may have to wait for some days until your closest valley reaches the desired level.]
3. Recruit 9 heroes.
4. Remove the mayor so that you can attack with all your heroes.
5. Make 1 valley slot empty in the city from which you are going to launch the attacks, so that you can conquer the valley successfully.
6. Now , go to map mode and click the valley and select attack. assign 120 - 400 archers depending upon your tech levels. You should select the numbers large enough such that none of your archers get killed in the attack. You have to make hundreds of attack so you should not have losses while attacking. Now select a hero and send the attack. Don't close the window wait for 30 secs. and select another hero and set another attack. Go on doing this until 9 waves of attacks are completed.
5. Now, watch the valley in map mode. Whenever an attack strikes and the valley is conquered a little yellow flag will appear on the valley. Quickly click on the valley , select enter then abandon. This way with every attack you are conquering the valley and abandoning it. If you abandon the valley it will regenerate to its full health instantly.
6. When all the attack launches successfully wait until all the troops return and start the process all over again.

When you launch the last attack of the day do not abandon it. Otherwise , it make be taken by some other player or will be upgraded to next level on server maintenance.

By doing this , if the troops One way Travel time is 3 mins , then it will take 6 minutes to launch 9 attacks and then come back to your city. So in one hour you will be able to complete 90 attacks and hopefully get 1 rose medal every hour.
According to the above calculations you still have to put 15-20 hours of time to get 15 rose medals and reach baron.

How I conquered a level 10 npc in Evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 8 Oct 2009 03:22:00 -0700

In evony online game, conquering a npc10 is considered to be one of the most difficult tasks. To conquer a level 10 npc you need to have a very good high attack hero, at least 200k archer and 50k warriors and of course a city slot open(as you are going to conquer it).

The big advantage of conquering a level 10 NPC is that all the buildings of a the npc is at level 10 so , that will save a lot of mich scripts for you.

1. It has level 10 walls for more defence,

2. Level 10 Rally spot so you can send 100000 troops at a time,

3. Level 10 Relief Station so you can send reinforcements more quickly

5. level 10 academy so you can complete all your level 10 researches(except stockpile as it does not have any warehouse).

6. level 10 townhall and 30 level 10 farms , so you can produce more than 1m food every hour with a good politics hero and 10 level 10 lakes.

Disadvantages of Level 10

1. It is hard to conquer so you have to kill about 20-50 k archers to conquer it.

2. It has only 1 level 10 barrack inside , 1 every other types of buildings and rest 20 level 10 cottage, so you have to demolish them first then replace them with barracks , which takes a considerable amount of time.

Why conquering a level 10 is so tough

1. It has a lot of defense. 400k warriors and 3666 AT's , 11k traps , 2.2k rollinglogs , 5k abatis, level 10 walls and all techs maxed to level 10.

2. It continously regenarate it's troops and and gains 3 loyalty every 6 minutes. So , you have to send many waves of attacks very quickly to get it to 0.

Recommended things that you should have to conquer a level 10 barb city with minimum loss

1. 250-300k archers and 150k warriars, 1k of all other types of units upto cataphracts for rainbow.

2. a good attack hero for the first sphearhead attack with at least 140 attack.

3. A level 10 Rally Spot (a level 9 can do the job but you will have about 10-30k more archer loss).

4. Archery level 10 , Millitary tradition , Iron Working and medicine above 7.

5. Use buffs like corselet and horns .

For the purpose of writing this article I have used no buffs and a level 9 rally point to demonstrate that it can be done without using them.

What I have used in conquering the level 10

1. 250-300k archers and 50k warriars, 1k of all other types of units upto cataphracts for rainbow.

2. Attack hero with 223 attack.( He is too powerfull and not everyone have a hero like that but 150 attack will be ok.).

3. A level 9 Rally Spot (a level 9 can do the job but you will have about 10-30k more archer loss).

4. Every other tech at level 10.

5. Not used any buffs.

The method

1. Each time you scout a level 10 the defending hero of it changes. So, continuesly scout the level 10 until the defending hero is of level 10 or less. This is very much essential to minimize troop loss.

2. To defeat the level 10 you need to make the first attack (sphearhead) with maximum number of archers 90k -100 k archers along with 1 unit of worker, warrior, scout, swordsman and pike for rainbow . This sphearhead will take out all the defences and forticication of the barb city . Also you will have the maximum amount of troop loss in this attack(5k - 40k archers , depnding on the factors stated in the recomendation). Now, once the sphear head takes out the defences, you will have to go on sending 20k archers with rainbow of 1 of all other units(never forget the rainbow) until the loyalty decreases to 0.

Note: If your hero is less that 170 attack then send an 90k warrior waves 1 minute ahead of the archer wave. This will minimize the archer loss to a great extent.

If you are in a good alliance , then you can ask some other stronger member to do the sphearhed for you and do the loyalty waves yourself. This way , you can save a lot of troops and conquer it even if you don't have the recomemded things.

3. Remove your mayor so that you can send 9 waves and send smaller loyalty decreasing waves continously until it goes down to 0. Resend them when they comes back. Heal the wounded troops. You should have at least 2m gold to heal all the troops.

4. It is a must, that you have the attacking city and the barb city withing 2miles of each other( 1 mile distance is the best). So, first create a level 10 barb city at the adjuscent flat of your attacking city. If you don't have a flat vacant then find a spot with 2 adjuscent blank flats, wait until one of them grows to level 10, Conquer that flat , build city and abondon it make a level 10 barb there. Then create the attacking city in the next flat. The attacking city must have a level 6 academy , level 9 feasting hall and Rally Point.

Below are the reports of how I conquered a level 10 barb town using level 9 rally point and without using any buffs(special defensive items like Horn and corslate)

In the first attack I sent my best attack hero wolverine(223 attack,level163) with 89k archers along with 10 other units util cataphracts for rainbow and I had 22k archer loss. With less attack hero 150 you should expevt more losses ranging from 40-25k. Then i went on sending waves of 25k archers with rainbow( you can do it with 20k archers wave if you don't have that many archers). I had to send about 36 wanves and the whole operation took 18 minutes of time with about 40 k archer loss.Click on the pictures to have larger views.

10 interesting ways to annoying your enemy in evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:05:00 -0700

Here I am discussing some tips to piss off your enemy without actually attacking him in evony online game. These steps will create a psychological pressure on your enemy and make him commit mistakes when you make a real attack on him. In the game of evony online game, the defenders get more advantage than the attacker because when someone attacks you then he has to fight with your wall defense , but if you attack against your enemy then you have to fight against his wall defense. So , its a very good idea if you can lure your enemy to attack you , instead of you attacking him.
1.Hate mails - This is the most common and widely used technique to piss off your enemy in evony online game.Your hate mails make him angry and tempt him to attack you with whatever he has. The greatest benefit of this hate mails are, if he replies to you, then you know he is online and don't do any real attack on him until he goes offline.
2.World chat - Tell abusive words to him and his alliance in world chat. If he replies then you know he is online in the game.
3.Give his coordinates in world chat - write the coordinates of his weakest city and tell everyone ask everyone to attack him. You may declare some award of game resources or gamecents to anyone who successfully finds or attacks him.
4. Attack and take his valleys - This is another very effective way to make him weak, in the game of evony. If you take his valleys then he won't be getting any benefits from the valleys. But don't keep his valley. Conquer and abandon, this will make the valleys regenerate the troops and he will have more trouble getting it back.
5. Farm his npc's very often - If his cities are close to your city then farm his npc's. He won't get his resources from npc's and become weak as he won't have enough food to keep large army, because the only way you can have large army in evony online game is to get lots of food from npc's.
6.Attack him with a very large camp time - Launch an attack using 1 warrior and a very large camp time such as 300 hours. This is make the red bird( attack alert) flashing for 300 hours. He will be annoyed at first then will stop checking (hopefully) the attack alerts. So, when you launch a real attack he won't know it and can not call for reinforcements.
7. Fill up all flats near him with very high level or very low level npc's - this one is lengthy process. If you can fill all nearby flats of his cities with very level 9 NPC ( since level 9 NPC gives same amount of loss as level 10,but a lot less resource, thanks to "mrballista"for pointing out) or very low level(1,2) npc's , then he won't be able to farm them .
8. Launch attacks on him and recall just before the attack strikes at the last moment - Launch attacks on him with large army. Probably he will call for reinforcements from his alliances. Then recall your troops just before the attack strikes.
9.Scout him hundreds of times with 1 scout - If you scout him many time with just 1 scout ,then he will be getting hundreds of "scouting attempts" reports every day.
10. Attack him with very low amount of troops - If you attack him with a very low amount of troop which can be very easily defeated by him , then that will make him think that you are a noob player and don't have much army to defend. he will be tempted to attack you . Attacking him multiple times with just 1 pike and a hero will make his war report filled with "plunder reports". Do this with low quality hero otherwise your good heroes will be captured by him(If he keeps his gates open).

These are the few tactics I have learned while playing the game for annoying the enemy. Please contribute your own ideas in comments.

Scout guide for evony online game

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:04:00 -0700

In evony online game scouts are the fastest among all other types of troops. Scouts are mainly used for spying information from enemy city or valleys , but you can also send them for attacking your enemy.
If you want to scout a valley or enemy city , then go to the map mode , then click on the valley/city that you want to scout. Then click the scout button and in the troop selection window select the amount of scout for scouting mission. Beware , do not send any non-scout troops like archers, warriors etc along with scouts. They will simple not return. You won't get any information about them but all other types of troops will simply get wiped off except the scouts.

In evony online game, when you are planning to attack a city or valley , you should always scout it first. If your scouts are successful in scouting the enemy, you will get all important information about the enemy like how much army they have , amount of wall defense, the no of building and their level and the amount of research they have done. Based on this scout report you can decide how much troops you need to send to successfully kill the enemy in this game.
The amount of information you get greatly depends on the level of informatics research that you have done and the number of scouts you send. Also some say that level of beacon tower and level of intelligence of the mayor increases the amount of information the scouts can gather in evony online game.
When you send scouts on a scouting mission and the enemy city gates are closed they won't be attacked by the enemy troops or the wall defense like Archer's tower, abatis , rolling logs etc. However, if the enemy city gates are open the scouts of (not any other kind of troops) the enemy city will fight with your scouts and try to kill them. If all your scouts are killed in fight then you won't get any information and your enemy will receive some honor point. So, it is advised that when you scout your enemy try to send as much scouts as possible. Another thing you should always do is to send your a hero along with the scouts. The scouts of the enemy city will always fight under the command of a hero , so they will have advantage over your scouts if you send your scouts without a hero. Also , you can avoid getting scouted by successfully if your create lot of scouts and keep you gates open. This way whenever anyone tries to scout you , their scouts will be killed by your scouts. In the evony online game when you are just out of beginner's protection most people does not have more than 1000 scouts, so if you create a little higher than 1000 scouts then no one will be able to scout you. As the game advances you should increase the amount of scouts and keep your gates open to prevent your enemy successfully scout on you. At very advanced stage , you must create at least 130,000 scouts. This is because , due to limitation of rally point , a player can send a maximum of 100,100 scouts from a level 10 rally point in this game. If he apply "war ensign"( which increases the capacity of sending troops by 25%) the he can send 125,000 scouts . This is the maximum amount of troops anyone can send in evony online game. Now, if you have more than 125,000 scouts in your city then all the enemy scouts will be killed. Of course , if your enemy has lots of scouts then he may send waves of 100,000 scouts repeatedly and will be able to scout your city successfully, but most players do not waste so much amount of resource and time just to scout a city.
You should not scout your neighbors too often as scouting is considered as an offense, a preparation before an actual attack. So , if you scout others very often then they will be offended and stronger player may even scout or attack you back. However, you should scout players with low prestige than you who is from enemy or
neutral alliance.
Some players also use scouts for attacking the enemy. Scouts have very low attack and defense. But due to high speed they can even bypass the archer towers if the enemy gates are open and attack the enemy troops residing in the city. But as they have very low attack you will have to send lots and lots of scouts to successfully kill all the enemy troops. This method the called as "Scout Bomb" technique. However , scout bomb will completely fail if the enemy city gates are closed. In that case scouts will try to attack the wall defense and will be very easily slaughtered.
Scouts are also very useful when you try to send your hero to another city of you. by rule you have to send at least one troop to send along with your hero. So, sending a scout along with the hero makes him reach the destination city(of your own) very fast.
Scouts are also very useful , when you have to send some resource to you allied member very fast. Though scouts can not bear a lot of resource, but due to their great speed they carry the resource and come back to your city very fast. You can again send them to carry some more resource to the friend city. This is extremely useful when the allied member city has no food left to feed their solders. At this situation the food needs to be carried there immediately.

How to get heros in evony

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:10:00 -0700

In evony online game the heroes play a major role in the game play. Good heroes can give you major advantage over the opponent players.
In this game heroes have three attributes Politics , intelligence and attack and overall level.Heroes help you gain prestige and honor fast when you set them as mayor
1. A good politics hero gives you extra resource and reduces building time thus quickly builds up prestige than other players.
2. A good intelligence hero reduce the research time and gets more information in scouting other players city or valleys.
3. A good attack hero minimizes the troop building time and win a battle against stronger opponent player.

Heroes gain experience points by attacking cities and running your own city as mayor. When he gains a certain amount of experience point to level up you can upgrade him to next level and he gains an attribute point for each level up. This attribute point can be added to his politics or intelligence or attack. So , in essence each level upgrade of a hero improves his one of the three attributes in evony online game. Now , the catch is , as the hero levels up the experience point needed to reach the next level increases. For example ,
A level 5 hero will need 2500 experience points to move to level 6
A level 6 hero will need 3600 experience points to move to level 7

So , it is evident that a low level hero is more easier to upgrade than a high level hero . This is the key factor of choosing hero from the Inn.

In evony online game, the Inn is the primary source of the heroes you can recruit. The of hero comes to visit the inn is equal to the level of the inn.Also the level of heroes increases with the increase of level of Inn. You have to spend more gold to higher level heroes. But remember , higher level heroes does not always mean higher attributes.
So, recruit those heroes who have low levels and high attributes, preferably level 1 heroes with more than 65 in any of the attributes Also remember recruiting higher level heroes needs more gold and they will consume more gold as salary every hour. So, recruiting higher heroes may punch a big hole in your gold reserve.
New heroes comes to the Inn every hour in this game, so you have to check the Inn regularity. Some people create a level 1 Inn and repeatedly destroy and rebuild it. So every time you rebuild it you get a completely new hero. This process will halt all other building upgrades. Some people recruits heroes and dismiss them repeatedly. This process wastes a lot of gold.
Another way of getting new heroes in the Inn is to click the "refresh" button in the inn. It will consume a "Hero Hunting" Item from your chest(only if you have that item) and refresh the Inn immediately. Unfortunately, you get limited number of "Hero Hunting", so this process can not be used many times.

Another way of getting heroes is by conquering valleys or cities. Whenever you conquer a valley or an enemy city you will be able to capture the hero who was defending it. If you have empty slot in your feasting Hall( like your feasting hall is level 5 and you had 4 heroes there before conquering the valley) the captured hero will be placed in your feasting hall and he will be shown as "captive" with loyalty as 0. Now , to recruit the captured hero you have to click "Persuade" and award him gold or medals. Medals are required for promotion of your rank, so it is not very good idea to recruit heroes using medals, unless you have a lot of excess medals. So you have to recruit them by spending gold. Again , from my experience captured heroes from valleys are not very good ones (that's why they got defeated under your attack). This process works great for enemy cities. If you capture a city from a good player it is likely that he will have a good hero under his possession and worked a lot to upgrade the hero. So, when you capture the hero you will get all the benefits of that players hard work.

How to level up your heros in evony online game

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:46:00 -0700

In Evony online game the the higher attributes your heroes have the more advantage you have in the gameplay.
thus it is extremely useful to know how to level up your heroes quickly. to level up your heroes you have to add experience points to your heroes. When your hero get a certain amount of experience you can go to feasting hall and click "view" on that hero and click "upgrade". Each upgrade gives one attribute point which you can add to his politics , attack or intelligence.

Now there are two ways to add experience point to a hero.
1. Setting him as the mayor of your city. When you set a hero as mayor he gains experience point automatically. So, your high politics hero(when set as mayor) gains experience without much of your effort.
2. For attack hero and intelligence heroes you have to gain experience by attacking other player cities or NPC's (barbarian city). Attacking player cities does have some "side effect" that they may attack you back or you don't have too many enemy cities around.
Thus , it's best practice that you attack NPC's again and again. NPC's (non player city or barbarian city) are system generated city. When you attack and plunder NPC's you get a very good amount of resource(mainly food) and good lot of experience points for your hero. After you plunder an NPC it start regeneration of the resource and regenerate to it's full resource after 8 hours( fortification comes back after 1 hour). So , you can attack the same NPC every 8 hour and gain lot of resource and experience points for your hero.

Evony Excalibur

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:21:00 -0700

In Evony online game , excalibur is an item that you can award your hero. It increases the hero's attack by 25% for upto 7 days. After 7 days it will go away automatically.
How to use Excalibur
it's an item that you have to award your hero. To use it go to your feasting hall and select the best attack hero there and click "view" on that hero. In the new window select "Excalibur" in the dropdown window and then click the reward button.You should award it to the existing best attack hero as it's a percentage increase. So a more high attack hero will have more higher increase in attack.
Benefits of Excalibur
A high attack hero can decrease the troops production time in the barracks if you make him the mayor while producing the troops. A high attack hero also wins difficult fight against stronger enemy with minimum troop loss.

The hero guide in evony online game

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:40:00 -0700

In Evony online game the heroes control the gameplay in every aspect. You must have been surprised that how some players gain prestige and train large troops so fast while you can not. The main reason behind this is the experienced players have high leveled heroes and use them properly.
Heroes help you gain prestige fast in three different ways.
A hero has three different attributes politics, intelligence and attack.
When you select a hero as the mayor of your city them they help you in the following ways
1. A hero with high politics reduces the building time. A high politics hero also increases the production rate of the resources of that city.
2. A hero with high intelligence will reduced the time taken for doing a research. Some players also say that they also help to get more information when you scout someones city and and increase medal drop rates.
3. A high attack hero increases the troops production speed and defend your city when someone attacks you.

Remember the hero attributes will work only if you set the hero as mayor. So you have to switch heroes as mayor when you are starting a research or starting a troop production run.
You need at least level 3 feasting hall to recruit 3 heroes of different attributes

1. The highest politics hero will remain mayor as default , as he increases the resource production.
2. When you are going to start a research , make the highest intelligence hero as mayor. Start the research and again bring back the high intelligence hero as mayor(you don't have to wait for the research to complete, you can do this immediately after the start of the research).
3. In similar way ,when you start producing troops you have to make the highest attack hero as mayor, then bring back the high politics hero as mayor again.

Now , to have this work, you must have at least a level 3 feasting hall so that you can accommodate all 3 heroes. To recruit heroes you also need an Inn. The heroes will gather into the Inn and from the Inn you can select and recruit heroes. The recruited heroes will move to the feasting hall. The heroes in the inn will rotate every hour. If you click the refresh button then the heroes will be rotated immediately but it will cost you an item "Hero Haunting". Some people create a level 1 inn and then check if the hero is good otherwise demolish the inn and build a new one. This way you can rotate the hero very quickly. A higher level inn holds more number of heroes and higher level of heroes.

While recruiting heroes from inn you have to recruit heroes who have low level but high on attributes, otherwise it will be difficult to level up the heroes.
For example if
heroA has level 5 , politics 65 and heroB has level 30, politics 75 then HeroA is always better one to recruit, because when heroA levels up and reaches level 30 he will have politics 90.

To appoint a hero as mayor open the click on the feasting hall, then click on the "Appoint mayor " button and select the hero from the drop down list of heroes.

Selecting and changing heroes hold the most key point to beat other players in the evony online game. Please write your comment if you think i have missed any point.

Sending reinforcements and resource to ally members in evony online game.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:43:00 -0700

In evony online game you may want to send resource or troop reinforcements to your ally member or other members want to do the same to you.
To transport resource to other allies , go to map mode , type the city coordinates where you want to send the transport. Click on the city, then click transport. Now select the amount of workers or transporters who will carry the resource. workers and transporters can carry a lot of resource so using other types of troops for transporting are not good idea. But sometimes, when you want to send resources very fast you may use scouts. Then , select the type and amount of resource that you want to send, click Ok. If you have a high level Relief Station in the city from where you are sending the transport then the time of transferring the resources will be minimized greatly( 5 times for each level of upgrade in Relief Station)in evony online game.

Reinforcement is when your ally member is attacked and you want to send your army to help him defend his city.
In evony online game sending reinforcement is same as above , but the city where you are going to send reinforcement must have an Embassy. More upgraded the embassy is , the more groop of allied troops can be garrisoned there(this does not effect the army size). As example , we can say that if the city has level 3 embassy then , it can hold troops from 3 different ally member.
Difference between transport and reinforcement is, when you transport your troops come back to your town automatically and when you reinforce the troops stay in the destination town until you call them back. The reinforced troops will defend the ally city but they can not be send to attack by the ally. To recall the reinforced troops you have to open "reports" -> "army movements" tab and select the troop to recall. Your ally (where you sent the reinforcement can also send them back from their embassy) in this game.
Building that helps in resource transport and reinforcements in evony online game.

Relief Station- Relief Stations greatly minimizes the amount of time required to transport and reinforcements between different cities of your own and ally cities. So if you have cities great distance apart then a high level relief station is a must have. In this game Relief Stations minimizes the transport time by 5 times for each level of upgrade.
Embassy- This is essential for sending troop reinforcements. If you don't have embassy in your city then other ally members can not reinforcements to that city. So it is a good practice to have an embassy in each of your city. Also, you must tick the checkbox "Allows troops of the allied members to garrison your current city". The more upgraded your embassy is , the more number of ally members can send troops to your city.

Reinforced troops only take part in defense , you can not send them to war.

Guide on opening and closing city gates in evony free online game

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 00:24:00 -0700

In evony online game the opening and closing of gates holds a good importance on strategy of battle.

Procedure to opening and closing gates.
Your gates are closed by default , if you want to open them then go to Rally Point and tick the box beside Medic Camp and your gates will be closed.

Advantages of opening the gates

In general, if someone attacks you in evony online game and if the gates of your city is closed then the army inside will not attack the the enemy troops. Only the fortifications like traps, Archer towers will fight them. But if the gates are opened then fortification and your troops both will attack the enemy. So , if the attacking troops are relatively small and you don't have enough Archer Towers to defeat them, then you may open the gates so that the troops inside your city can kill them.

You should also open your gates when someone has attacked you and other allied members are trying to send you reinforcements. Reinforcements can only enter your city if the gates of your city is open, otherwise they will go back to the allied member.

Opening your gates can be great advantage if you have lots of scouts. If someone sends scouts to your city and the gates of your city are open, then your scouts will try to kill the enemy scouts. If your scouts are larger in number than the enemy scouts then your scouts kill all enemy scouts and you will get a lot of honor and the enemy player won't get any information about your city. However, if the enemy scouts are greater in number then they will kill all your scouts and the enemy player will gain honor and all information about your city.
Closing the gates are required when someone has already defeated you and destroyed all your fortifications and you are left with very small amount of troops inside. At this point you need to close the gates until some reinforcements from other ally member come(if any).
Also, you should close the gates when the number of scouts you have is very small, so that enemy scouts do not kill them.

Get the more benefits from your alliance : Use of Relief Station and Embassy in evony Online game

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 13:48:00 -0700

In Evony Online MMORPG Games if you have joined and alliance , it is often required to send troops to other member cities. The purpose of Relief Station is the shorten the time taken for your troops to other member's city and also between your own city. Each upgrade of your relief station increase the transfer time of the troops between your two cities or some other member's city by 5 times.
This becomes extremely useful in the following cases in evony online game.
1. Your cities are fur away from each other(happens when you teleport your city) and you want to transfer resource or reinforce troops to the other city.
2. You want to help another alliance member by reinforcing troops to his city or send resource.
In both the above cases high level relief Station helps to move the troops at much faster speed.
If you want to send reinforcement / resource to the city of other member, then go to map mode and type his city coordinates in the two boxes in the top left boxes on the screen. now you will be taken to his city location. Click on his city and select reinforce/ transport according to the need. Then select the amount of troops and resource to send.

Use of Embassy.
In evony online game, another building that is required for helping other alliance members or getting help from them is Embassy. Building an embassy lets you join a alliance. If you want to create your own alliance then you need to have a level 2 embassy. Other tan creating your own alliance , the greatest benefit of Embassy is , at the time of war if your city gets attacked by other players, then the other members of your alliance can send troops to reinforce your city and help you defend from the impending attack. If your Embassy is level 2 then troops from two other members can come to defend your city, for level 3 embassy troops from 3 members can come to protect your city. So , it is a must that you create embassies in each city.

PS : To get reinforcements from allied members you must open your gates (go to Rally point and tick the box beside the "medic camp" button) . Now select embassy , then tick the box labeled as "Allows troops of allied members to garrison your current city".
