Evony Age 2 Guide

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.

The warrior is the cheapest and quickest troop type to build in Evony Age 2, and I expect this to be a very popular troop type in Age 2 as it is in Age 1. Warriors are often called the suicide troop as they are extremely quick to train, and because of that it is a popular troop type to mass produce and use for suicide attacks.

Warriors are often used to get rid of enemy fortifications in a suicide attack before you send your real army in there. Often players also kill their warriors on other players to get rid of their honor points, honor points were really bad in Age 1 cause of the healing % being lower then, I think it’s the same in Evony Age 2. You also use warriors in your rainbow attacks for layering.

Archers are by far the most popular troop type of Evony Age 2, and it was the same in Age 1. The reason is simply that it is considered the best troop there is. Archers will perform better than pretty much any other troop combination your enemy can send at you. Archers are great both when it comes to PvP and PvE. People have been farming NPCs with archers for a long time, and no other troop performs as good as archers here. When you want to conquer these new historic cities of Evony Age 2, archers are also the way to go.

Both for defense and offense archers are really good, and I suggest you focus mostly on archers when it comes to the basic defense of each of your cities. You need level 4 barracks to build archers, so the first thing you should focus on when you build a new city is to get all the barracks to level 4.
