Rainbow attack level 10 NPC city with almost no losses
A Evony rainbow attack is layering your main attack troop, usually archers or cavalry, with other types of troops to reduce losses. In these attacks on a level 10 NPC barbarian city the player looses almost no troops at all cause of his layering. The troops used are archers, warriors, workers and transports, 100k troops total. It is very important that you have maximum technologies when trying this, and you also need a hero with 130 or more attack power. The higher attack power of your hero the lower losses you will have. You can also use penicillin and war horn to reduce losses even more. The numbers of different troops used in both of these attacks are listed below.
92k Archers
3k Warriors
3k Workers
2k Trans
In this report a 130 attack hero is used, all warriors and workers are lost as well as about 12k archers. This is pretty good though, but losses can be even less using an even better hero.
In the report above a 223 attack hero is used and as you can see losses are reduced even more, less than 6k archers lost! In neither of these attacks any items were used. Farming NPCs with these low losses is pretty cool, so just thought I’d share the reports here.

Google have issued a statement that their email system has been hacked by the Chinese, possibly using malware placed on people’s computers. Browser games put client software on tens of millions of computers and could easily be used to farm for information such as email addresses. This article looks at the evidence.

you should scout the lvl 10 first.
i scout it till the hero inside is lvl 5 or lower. i send 94k archers, 2k warr., 2k workers,2k trans. and have way fewer losses.

I got the new version Evony 3.08. My older version was 2.16.
The new version has all references to Eric Lam and UMGE removed.
Neither the comments in the hex code nor the decompiled Actionscript have anything that refers to them.
Also the scripts that enumerated the active programs and sent and retrieved data with the remote servers is gone,
except for the actual game network link to the Evony.com game servers.
Even the code is a bit neater and more efficient.
At least the heavy scrutiny on them is having some pluses. lol.

My brother kept scouting a lvl10 and after like 50 scouts of the npc he attacked it and had almost zero losses.

Would i lose all my men if i only attacked with 82k archers instead of 92k with only a lvl 130 attack stat hero?

I’ve been farming level 10s for a few months and after tons of different breakdowns of troops, I have come to the conclusion the following results in the lowest number of resources lost from deaths. It doesn’t necessarily have lower archer losses than other scenarios, but as cheap as workers and warriors are they still do cost something.
95000 archers
2000 warriors
1000 workers
30 swordsman
30 pikemen
30 scouts
1 cavalry
1 cataphract
1825 transports
And I agree to always scout until the defending is less than level 5. And also I use the 1825 transports with level 10 logistics to pull the full load.

my rule with npc hero level is it needs to be less than 20 for your heroes with 140-180 attack, roughly speaking. This is because you can’t see the att level of the npc hero. A level 1 with 65 att will hurt you more than a level 50 with, say, 11 attack.
My config is
94300 archers, 700 scout, 1k each warr, pike & sword
2k transports (needed if you’re going further than a few miles)
I get between 5.5k archer loss (heroes above 250) and 9.5k (heroes around 140).

scouting is a myth… the highest atk a lv. 10 hero can have is 119.. and that is if it is lv. 50.. so scouting doesnt matter unless ur hero is under 120 atk.

You could use fewer warriors.
I find that 2500 warriors with 3000 workers 2000 transports 92500 archers does the trick.

I have attacked lvl 10′s with great success and terrible.. but found that I have had more losses when I attack lvl ten with hero of level 4 or under.. I used a hero with 189 attack against a lvl 1 hero and lost everything.. for me attack them when they are lvl 6-14 and if your hero is lvl 150+ in attack then you should be fine. the listing of troups above are all fine as long as you keep this rule, then you should be loosing approx 5k in arch.
BTW i am on ss24

This is the best method I use on E1. Don’t know if it holds true in E2, haven’t been able to test it.
92.5k Archers
1.8k Workers
1.8k Scouts
2k Warriors
1.9k Xports
You’ll most likely lose all the workers, scouts and warriors but can sometimes heal a lot of them back. Archers If you start low, youll lose 7-8k, If you use a hero around 160+ you’ll lose a hell of a lot less. I use one with 290 attack, and on average lose 4k archers after healing.

the NPC’s regenerate fast, faster than you can build them not sure why they do that its not fair it should be the same time as it would take a person to rebuild. so make sure you have troops ready and hitting within a few minutes or have others helping you getting the loyalty down. I waited too long between hits and lost tons of troops.

I have been usin a combo for a year now.
3k warriors workers and scouts with 89k archers and 2k trans. my hero’s attack is 260 and i avg 4900 to 4100 arch loss on eash hit. and the level of the hero in the npc matters greatly.

lvl 10 arch
lvl 9 hbr

I would like to add to my last comment on my lvl 10 attack…SCOUTING DID NO GOOD!
I scouted until I had a lvl 3 hero to attack, but by the time my attack hit, as you will see on the report, the hero I actually attacked was a lvl 15. So you can not count on scouting reports here.

These are all Age 1 comments……..the same scenarios do not work in age 2……..you need at least a 90 leadership for your main attack hero……or you lose everything !

Maybe someone can explain why I lost everything to this level 10 npc. My hero has 199 attack.
90100 archers, 2k warriors, 2k workers, 4k scouts 1900 transporters.

level 10 npcs in age 2 are a lot rougher to hit, make sure all your attack relevant techs are at level 10 except compass and HBR need to stay at level 9 or you will suffer much higher losses. make sure you have a hero with at LEAST 200 attack and high leadership. scout the level 10 til a low level hero shows up and do not scout again because the last hero u scout will be the one that is there for the attack. I send 90k archer with 1 scout, sword, pike, cav and phract with 2k trannies and the rest into warriors and i still suffer about a 20k archer loss with that. it seems level 7 and 8 npcs are the NPCs to farm now with a 90k rainbow with only about 2-5k loss

I tried this with with a 205 attack hero and all my tech maxed out and I lost. Losing 95k Archers SUCKS!! I thought this was an Age 2 guide, why are you using numbers for age 1?
Stridder
24 Jun 10 at 5:35 am
Archery 8 and HBR of 6 does not cut it against 10s (and didn’t in age 1 either), you need to have your combat techs at 10 before you even think about hitting 10s.
Jason
27 Jun 10 at 12:01 pm
I have tried this 3 times now, with no success, although I was able to do it once (to get my Queen). My techs are all maxed out at 10. My heroes have been Once) my Queen at lvl 40 with 200 att, and Twice) a hero at lvl 75 with 190 att. I have sent 3k warriors & pikes, 2k transports, and 92k archers. The npc10 is right next door, as close as you can get. I have scouted for a low hero and attacked when lvl 5. I have lost everything all three times. I tried this same formula again on E1 and won with minimal losses. Anyone know what is going on with this?
Dorian
1 Jul 10 at 4:13 pm
LOL at the retards that are crying cause they lost everything and wonder why…. HBR lvl 6 and 7??? Idiots! You need to max your techs before you try to take on a lvl 10 npc…

21 Jul 10 at 8:59 am
Those losing in age 2 need to heed the post further up regarding hero leadership.
This seems to be an important factor in Age 2 and unless your hero has 90 leadership….it is not advisable to hit NPC10.
Leadership is the same as Hero level….Level 75 Hero = Level 75 leadership.

23 Jul 10 at 12:08 am
I did it with a lvl 75 hero.
The first wave took 100k warriors. lost everything.
the second wave has 96k archers ,1k workers,1k warriros pikes and 1k swords.
3rd-8th wave 50k archers, 7.5k pikes,2k sword 5k warriors and 2k workers
from 9th wave u can reduce the archers to 25k and pike to 3k, swords 1k, workers to 1k and warriors to 2k
after the 15the wave u can go with 20k archers.
i got my lvl10 in 30 min having a distance of 3mins from my city.
The timing of the waves is also important.the lvl10 shd be less that 3min for an easy capture.
The losses are 120k warriros and 60k archers rest is very less.
if this works for you, then you have a lvl10 on your name
des
28 Jul 10 at 5:17 pm
My attack was with the standard 94k archers + 1k warr, 1k pike, 1 k scouts, 1k swords 2k trannies
lost the lot
leadership 91, attack hero 240+
gero scouted under lvl 10.
so accordingly if i change to 3k workers, 3k warr, 2 k trannies, Advice please!!
Don’t tell me what works in Ev1 farmed 100′s of 10s does not come close to working in EV2

2 Aug 10 at 8:48 am
On Age 2 World NA 1 if you scout until you get alow lvl Hero when you attack the hero will change. I have farmed many lvl 10 NPC’s and never had loses lower than 70k. My hero is a lvl 100 with att of 216. Scouting on NA 1 is useless cause the NPC’s hero will change.

8 Aug 10 at 6:51 pm
Why has nobody mentioned ballista or catapults for lvl 10 attacks?
Age 2, na16
Using penicillin, war ensign, lvl 72 hero with attack 203
Warrior 2500, lost all
Pike 2500, lost all
Sword 2500, lost all
Archer 107700, lost 15233
Trans 2500, zero lost
Ballista 7000, zero lost
Catapult 300, zero lost

13 Aug 10 at 1:38 pm
Oh, and all my techs are at 10 except HBR at 9.
Randar
13 Aug 10 at 1:40 pm
Nobody has mentioned those troop types because with the defensive trebuchet or rockfall fortification introduced in level 6 npc cities and over, if you send them just alone, ballistas and catapults plus battering rams get destroyed by the defensive trebuchets.

27 Aug 10 at 11:54 pm
Most you people don’t read the forum completely. He said L10 archery and L9 hbr and compus. If you have max compus or hrb with 10 archery you get increase losses. So DON’T MAX OUT ALL YOUR TEC’S
I have been told by other experience game players to never have compus and hbr at same lvl it increases losses it is always best to have it 1 lower than hbr or one higher. But since you want archery at L10 I would keep compus at 8.

17 Sep 10 at 5:59 am
does anyone know what the lowest techs are to farm 10′s on age I? with max techs i know i can get losses below 5k everytime once hero is over 150 but i wanna farm early
BRB
27 Sep 10 at 10:36 am
So many stupid people in this site.
@ Stallion
You’re an idiot. No one thats actually experienced with how this game works would tell you that.
How do I know that? Because th eonly people that get big losses with HBR/Compass at 10 are ones with heroes with less than 150-200ATT.
People with crap knowledge about anything in life need to shut up and learn to do your own research. But hey, I dont mind too much. Stupid people are easy to conquer.
Broseph
21 Oct 10 at 7:13 am
Also, this page is bullshit. Almost no losses?
Get below 3k consistently and then we’ll talk. Otherwise this is common trash and another empty.

21 Oct 10 at 7:15 am
This is the combo i use for age 2 npc10 farming.
All techs at lv10.
Keep scouting for a low lv hero.
Attack hero lv 90+ with 100 loyalty.
Main attack:
1k worker
1k warrior
1k scout
1k pikeman
1k swordsman
93200 archers
1800 transporters
You can reduce the amount of workers and scouts to 500.
I also send a warrior bomb with a 1 troop rainbow to hit 5 seconds before main attack with my Queen/King as attack hero.
Warrior bomb:
10000 warrior
1 scout
1 pikeman
1 swordsman
1 archer
1 cavalry
My losses range from 3k to 5k archer loss, hope this helps.

this is what i used to brake down a lvl 10 defince
troops :
2k workers 2kwarroirs 2k scouts 96k arch wif attack hero over 200 it might not be the best thing to do but it still worked 4 me so goodluck to use

21 Feb 11 at 1:04 pm
my archery is lvl. 10 and my military science and tradition are also lvl. 10, i sent 3k workers and warriors, 92k archers and 2k transporters with a lvl. 100 King who has 225 attack and I lost the 3k workers and warriors and an additional 17k archers. This article isn’t very helpful. I thought there would be way less losses.

19 Apr 11 at 5:37 pm
I lost the lot but reading that u needed to have a level 90 plus hero i was looking at my attack rather than the hero level hero attack level was 267 which should have been enough but yeah i lost 100k everyone please read the whole article plus the comments to understand more

A BETTER WAY IS
2K TRANS
2K PIKES
2K SWORD

Farming lvl 10 NPC, age 2
Lvl, Leadership 90+ hero, War horn
92k arch
2k warr, worker, scout
2k trans
Around 5-6k arch loss, gets lower as hero gets higher
To conquer, keep sending 20k each, arch warrior waves till it’s yours, prefer within 2 mi attack range to conquer

28 Sep 11 at 8:15 pm
I play on age2 (na8) and i send from my 12 100k archers and 25k wars.
i rarely lose more than 5-8k archers. you will lose all your warriors though.
after the clearing wave i send 3 90k archer waves with 5k warriors and 5k trans.
all my heroes have attack in the upper 300s. My heroes lvls are in the upper 80s or 90s.
on na8 scouting does help.
