Evony Strategy Guide

Welcome to the Evony Age 2 Wiki, here you will find all the information you need about Evony Age 2. This Wiki will mostly contain information about features that are new in Evony Age 2. Evony Age 2 is in beta right now, with the server limited to 10,000 people. Hopefully everyone will get the chance to try it out soon though, cause it is really awesome.

In this guide I will describe all the features of Evony Age II, and I will also give tips on how you can get started with the Evony Age II beta right away. Generally the best way is to visit the Evony Age II beta page as often as possible and try to log in. Every day Evony is removing inactive players and giving room for new signups. If you have any more information you think should be included in this wiki, please let me know, you can post comments and questions to all of the articles.

Achievements seems to be another new feature of Evony Age II. The achievement quests are different from the normal quests you are used to from before. Some of them involve killing various type of troops and conquering other players. Overall they seem to be more geared towards offense and war than the regular Evony quests.

You seem to get points in reward for doing these Achievements. This is different from the normal quests where you get resources or items in reward. You can use these points to get prestige rewards later on. There is quite a lot of achievements to can accomplish, and I will get a more detailed list on these Achievements later, but here are those I’ve seen so far. Read the rest of this entry »

This stratagem actually increases your opponents marching speed. If your opponents have lots of attacks incoming on your cities that are timed well, I can see this stratagem being quite useful. If you are online there are other ways to defend yourself against attacks however, so I’m not sure how often I will use it.

If you use this stratagem your opponent can not recall his troops before they finish the attack they are on. This stratagem can be disabled if you use Cicada sheds it’s skin. I guess this stratagem can be fairly useful, but doubt it will be one of the popular ones.

Yet another Evony Age II stratagem that lets you change the moving speed of your opponents troops. Seems to be quite a lot of these type of stratagems out there. This stratagem lets you increase your opponent’s march duration by 30%. To be the stratagem is too expensive to ever be worth using.

This stratagem is the exact opposite of bluffing, and I can see this stratagem being pretty useless. If your enemy think the army coming at him is much smaller than it actually is, he might decide to open gates to defend and thus letting you kill all of his troops inside. This stratagem is also very cheap.

Bluffing is a good strategy in war, but bluffing in Evony Age II seems pretty useless. The only time I can see a use for this stratagem is early in the game when all armies are small. What it does is to make the number of marching troops look 5 to 10 times bigger. If you see 1 million catapults marching towards you, you know that the player has to have used this stratagem, we still have the rally point limit in Evony Age II after all. The stratagem lasts for 12 hours.
