Evony Age 2 Guide

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.

Another new feature of Evony Age II is the Stratagems. These are items you can buy in the Evony Age II store and use for various purposes. There are two type of Stratagems, offensive stratagems and defensive stratagems. Some of the stratagems are really powerful like the “Burn the Warehouses” stratagem that lets you destroy 10% – 50% of your targets food. If someone had saved up billions of food for months this is way too powerful in my opinion.

There is also a huge difference in price between the offensive and the defensive stratagems. Some offensive stratagems cost as much as 100 cents, while all the defensive stratagems cost either 5 or 10 cents. I guess that is to make it easier for players that don’t want to spend a lot of money on the game to defend themselves. Below is a list of all the stratagems and how much they cost to use.
