Evony Strategy Guide

Many players are doing what is called a prestige run these days, using a few days to gain millions of prestige. Prestige runs have been done several times and is quite easy to do. So a prestige run is not really something new to Evony, but still most players don’t really know how to take advantage of the prestige run strategy.

First thing you need for a prestige run is a lot of archers, since you will be killing these archers to gain this prestige. To gain 14 million prestige you would need about 1 million archers, 28 million prestige would be 2 million archers, etc. This is assuming you get 14 prestige points for each archers who dies. So how do you get this much prestige for killing archers then? Read the rest of this entry »

In Evony Age II there is something called folk heroes. These are special type of heroes which are quite strong. You can get these heroes by listening to the folk hearsay in your inn. You get this option in your inn once the building reaches level 5. The more you increase the level of your inn the more folk heroes you can get hearsay about.

You have three options you can choose from when it comes to Folk Hearsay. More Hearsay refreshes the list of folk heroes in your inn at an expense of 100 gold. Enquire Details gives you the accurate location of the Folk Hero as well as a portrait of him which is necessary in order to capture him. You need to spend some gold to get this information. Search lets you search for a specific hero by name, this will cost you 1,000 gold.

There has been quite a few useful changes to the rally point of Evony Age II. The first thing you’ll probably notice is that the rally point window can now be made transparent so that you can see the map while you’re in the rally point. It is also possible to preset troops from the rally point now, a feature I can see being really useful when farming NPCs for food or valleys for medals. You have 3 different preset troop numbers you can save in your rally point.

The third option I’ve noticed with the rally point is the fugitive camp. When you run out of food some of your troops will go here for a while, instead of dying right away. They don’t stay here forever, so make sure you retrieve them before they are permanently lost. Read the rest of this entry »

This attack report was posted in the Evony forums today. It is an attack report from server 52 where one player takes out more than 1 million archers in one attack. This is the most archers I’ve ever seen killed in one attack. The player making the attack is named Gil, and he used 1000 scouts, 29000 cavalry and 70000 cataphracts. He had a level 361 attack hero and was up against a level 261 attack hero. He had taken out all the layers before the archers, apart from 72 warriors, so the cavalry and cataphracts went straight to the archers and did maximum damage. The attack report is posted below, you can click on it to make it larger. Read the rest of this entry »

Controlling your gates and deciding when to open your gate to fight is an important aspect of Evony. Some form of attacks work very well on your city when your gates are open, and some work very well when your gates are closed. All this assumes that you have filled up your wall with fortifications of course, but most cities will be filled up with that within a week after they are built. I suggest mostly archer towers and some traps and abatis as well.

If your city is well defended you usually want to have your gates open at all times. If you have your gates closed other players can easily run in with 100k archers and destroy all your archers towers and traps. Then they can send in some cavalry to take out your abatis and leave your city with no fortifications left at all. They will also most likely have taken a huge chunk of your honor in the process. Fortifications takes quite a while to rebuild so you don’t want this to happen to you. Read the rest of this entry »

Before attacking, and especially scout bombing, strong players in the endgame of Evony it is important to figure out if they are online or offline. If they are online they can just keep their gates open if you send archers or cavalry at them, and close them if you send scout bombs having all your scouts die on their fortifications. Here are a few tricks you can use to figure out if the player you are about to attack is online.

If his gates are open you can start sending a 100k scout bomb to the target. You send 1 scout on a scout mission to land at the same time or 1 second after the scout bomb attack. Turn back the 100k scout bomb at the last second. If you see the gate is suddenly closed you know the player is online and closed his gates to defend against the scout bomb.

Catapults are the most powerful units in Evony, they throw huge rocks at the enemy from a very long distance. Catapults are really cool, and for an attack force nothing beats a 125k catapult attack. There are many problems with them though, number one is that they take an extremely long time to build and you need level 10 barracks to build them in. Many players have 100 total barracks that are level 9, but very few have even close to this many level 10 barracks. In addition to level 10 barracks you also need level 10 metal casting and level 10 archery. Read the rest of this entry »
