Ballistas
Ballistas are the units you use to farm level 1 to level 5 NPCs with in Evony Age 2. In Evony Age 1 there was a period you could farm all the different types of NPCs without losses using ballistas, but these days you can only farm the first 5 NPC levels. I suggest you go to the wiki to check out the exact numbers you need to farm the first 5 NPCs without any losses. It is related to your technology levels, but overall you shouldn’t think about farming NPCs with ballistas until your archery technology reaches at least level 6.
The ballista is a pretty slow troop type to build, and you will need a lot of high level barracks to build a large ballista army. It will probably take you a few weeks on a new Evony Age 2 server before you can start farming the NPCs efficiently with ballistas.
NPC City level 2
The level 2 NPC is a little stronger than the level 1 NPC, but not much. You don’t get many more resources from plundering the level 2 NPC compared to the level 1 NPC either, so most players don’t both much with the level 2 NPCs at all. Early on the server with low resource prices it can be profitable, but most players just stick with the level 1 NPCs.

List of number of ballistas needed to attack NPC villages without losses
This NPC list is not accurate after the 1. june patch 2009, and now with Evony being updated to Evony Age II on most servers it will probably be completely inaccurate.
Here is a list with how many ballistas you need to attack NPC barbarian villages without losses. People keep asking this all the time, so I decided to make a list. This is for level 1 to level 8, I have not tried level 9 yet, and I’m not going to post numbers I have not testet out myself. Villages level 1-4 have been done with level 7 archery, 5-6 with level 8 archery and 7-8 with level 9 archery. I’ve increased some of the numbers 26. may after some people told me they lost some ballistas using them, the hero in the NPC village might be the reason, but now with this increase it should be safe to follow this guide.
For all numbers a hero with level 90+ attack have been used. Using heros with low attack is risky, and you might loose all your troops doing so. I lost 3800 ballistas against a level 8 NPC village using a 15 attack hero, so it can have large effects. Here is the list.

Attacking NPC barbarian cities without losses
Yes, it’s possible to attack barbarian NPC villages without any losses at all. You get a lot of experience for your hero when you’re doing this as well as lots of resources. I’ve done this with villages up to level 5 so far, but I will attack higher once I get enough troops to do so. Read on to figure out how.

How to make 10 million gold a day in Evony
You can make more than 10 million gold a day in Evony using this strategy. Actually 10 million is just a cool number, the correct one is 950,000 gold an hour, most people don’t play 24/7 however. The way to do this is to raid NPC villages, and I will tell you how.
To do this I would recommend having a minimum of two villages, and one of them should be as close to a level 5 NPC village as possible. The level 5 NPC village will have 950,000 gold in it when full, it regenerates all that gold in one hour, so to get the max from it you should be within half an hour from it with transports.
