Evony Age 2 Guide

Evony traps, is there any use in having them these days? I think you should have some traps, but not a whole lot of them, Archer towers are still the best fortification there is in my opinion, but it is nice to layer your fortifications a bit with traps and abatis as well. Traps are pretty good at killing foot soldiers, but they are pretty useless unless you combine them with archer towers. If a player only have traps as his fortification the enemies will just send cheap warriors at him and destroy those traps pretty easily. If he has archer towers as well however, losses will be much larger if he chooses to only send warriors. Read the rest of this entry »

Getting intelligence before making attacks in Evony is really important so you don’t end up loosing battles and wasting troops attacking someone with no resources. NPCs in Evony don’t have any scouts of themselves, so you don’t have to worry about loosing your scouts in a battle when you try to scout them. The only problem scouting NPCs in Evony is that you need high enough informatics technology to get an accurate scout report. If your informatics level is too low, you won’t get any information at all from your scouting report. Read the rest of this entry »

The browser game Evony has been out for almost a year now and lots of people are having massive armies of troops that take a very long time to train. I think it’s too bad that a browser game like Evony don’t let people use larger armies than the 125 thousand troop cap. Battles are pretty much always in favour of the defense player when it is not possible to send as many troops as you want in battle. If it were up to me you should be able to send out as large of an army as you wanted to, or at least increase the limit from 125 thousand to 1.25 million. Anyways, here is an attack with battering rams gone wrong running into million of defense troops. Read the rest of this entry »

There are five different fortifications in Evony, traps, abatis, archer towers, rollinglogs and defensive trebuchets. As pretty much everyone knows the archer tower is the best fortification there is, but is it a good idea to have 100% archer towers? I don’t think so, I definitely prefer some diversity in my fortifications. Archer towers can be best against most forms of attacks, but now and then it will help you a lot to add some other fortification units. The most important fortification apart from archer towers in my opinion is the abatis, I usually have about 1500 of these in cities with a maxed wall. Read the rest of this entry »

Attacking other players for resources is a very good way to grow quickly at the start of a new server in Evony. Be careful not to attack someone with a larger army than you though, since loosing you whole army will really hurt you. In addition to not being able to pillage other players you will probably be pillaged a lot yourself and wake up every morning with no resources in any of your cities. Read the rest of this entry »

Today I saw a post in the Evony forum about a guy loosing his level 295 hero with 358 attack. Losing a high level hero like that really sucks, cause it takes a long time and lots of hard work to get a hero to this level. It is very unnecessary to lose a high level hero like this though, as long as you are careful chances you’ll lose a high level hero are pretty much 0, just follow these two rules.

The battering ram in Evony is the strongest close combat troop there is. It has crazy life and defence stats of 160 and 5,000! No other troop type in Evony comes even close to this. This means it can pretty much walk through huge amounts of other troops before taking serious damage. A full army of battering rams is very hard to stop.
