Folk hearsay and folk heroes
In Evony Age II there is something called folk heroes. These are special type of heroes which are quite strong. You can get these heroes by listening to the folk hearsay in your inn. You get this option in your inn once the building reaches level 5. The more you increase the level of your inn the more folk heroes you can get hearsay about.
You have three options you can choose from when it comes to Folk Hearsay. More Hearsay refreshes the list of folk heroes in your inn at an expense of 100 gold. Enquire Details gives you the accurate location of the Folk Hero as well as a portrait of him which is necessary in order to capture him. You need to spend some gold to get this information. Search lets you search for a specific hero by name, this will cost you 1,000 gold.
Increasing population and earning gold
Having a high population early on in the game is pretty important as that will give you a high tax income. Early on most resources are really cheap in terms of gold, so having a high gold income is much more important than having a high resources production. Early on a new server you can often buy wood for as low as 0.1 gold a piece and food sometimes as low as 0.02 for each. Read the rest of this entry »
Pillaging other players – early PvP
Attacking other players for resources is a very good way to grow quickly at the start of a new server in Evony. Be careful not to attack someone with a larger army than you though, since loosing you whole army will really hurt you. In addition to not being able to pillage other players you will probably be pillaged a lot yourself and wake up every morning with no resources in any of your cities. Read the rest of this entry »
Saving high level heroes
Today I saw a post in the Evony forum about a guy loosing his level 295 hero with 358 attack. Losing a high level hero like that really sucks, cause it takes a long time and lots of hard work to get a hero to this level. It is very unnecessary to lose a high level hero like this though, as long as you are careful chances you’ll lose a high level hero are pretty much 0, just follow these two rules.

The most important Evony technologies
Researching technologies is pretty important in Evony, so I thought I’d write an article about which technologies you should go for first. After a few months of play time you should have all technologies at level 10, but choosing the right order of researching them can give you an edge in the game on a new server starting up. You have 3 types of technologies in Evony, resource bonus technologies, combat technolgies and city technologies. Some technologies are way cheaper and take less time to research than others, so this is also something you should think about when deciding what to research next. Read the rest of this entry »
EvoMap – Evony map of all servers
EvoMap is a new tool for Evony that easily lets you find other players cities. This has been a problem in Evony, finding all the cities of a player or an alliance that you want to attack. With the Evony map you can search both for player names and alliances. You can also get a list of all the cities in the various states of the server and also all cities in a certain radius around a coordinate of your choice. Right now more than 12 million cities are listed on 125 different servers. Read the rest of this entry »
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.
