Evony Strategy Guide

Evony Age II introduces a special type of NPC city to Evony called Barbarian’s Cities. A Barbarian’s City is much better defended than a regular NPC cities and often have a legendary hero as a defender. There are also quests in Evony Age II featuring these barbarian cities.

I expect these to be something similar to the capitals of NapWar and Kingory. I described these capital cities in an article called Capitals – Evony Age 2 feature? about two weeks ago. Basically these are cities which can be conquered by an alliance. Having a capital you can levy resources and gold from neighboring cities and also recruit troops from them. There are 4 types of barbarian cities or capitals in these other games, and I expect there to be the same in Evony. Read the rest of this entry »

An Evony derelict city is a city which has been abandoned by a player. Dereliction of a city in Evony turns the city over to the barbarians. The barbarian cities are also called NPCs, that’s the most common term and it means Non Player Character. Barbarian cities and not ruled by players but by the game itself, and they come in 10 different types. That would be level 1 to level 10 NPC barbarian cities.

A derelict city will be turned into a NPC city with the same level as the flat was before the player city was build. That is how you can actually make NPC cities at the exact level you want them to be. You just conquer a flat of the level you want and then abandon the city you build there. The flat will now be turned into the same level NPC city.

The Michelangelo’s script is needed to increase a building to level 10, so if you want to get all your buildings to level 10 you will need a lot of them. It’s one of the most useful items in the game in my opinion, and at 50 Evony cents it is not that expensive either. Every player get one Michelangelo’s script for free when making an account in Evony, and I’d recommend using this first one for your town hall. If you don’t want to buy scripts for real money, you can also get them winning in the wheel of fortune or attacking level 10 NPC villages.

This Evony guide will show you how to conquer a level 10 NPC in less than one minute by timing attacks from several different of your villages using camp time. This NPC can be far away from you, as far as 100 miles, so it’s just like an advanced teleport without the delay. This can be really useful if you want a forward base far away from you to launch attacks from.

The number of troops you need to do this is about 130,000 archers, 400,000 warriors and transports. You also need a high attack hero as well as maxed technology. Most players have way more troops than this on older servers, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Read the rest of this entry »

This is a video of me conquering a level 10 NPC village today after the new patch. The sounds is not that great, but I had a lot of fun making it so I decided to post it anyways. This is from 1. June after the ballista nerf patch, and even with this patch conquering a level 10 NPC isn’t that difficult. It took me 42 minutes from first attack till it was conquered. Here are the video and the troops that I used as well as losses. Read the rest of this entry »

It seems there has been another change to the way ballistas work when attacking NPC villages. They have been changed in a patch June 01.09 but no patch notes have been released. It is really a bad habit to change the mechanics of the game without releasing patch notes, and I hope UMGE will stop doing that.

With the new change to NPC farming, it now takes like 24 hours to regenerate, I thought it might be a good idea to take over a NPC village to help out with food. A NPC village has 37 level 10 farms after all, and produces like half a million food/hour without any valley bonuses at all. It took me about an hour to take over this NPC village. I won’t give everything away here, but I will give you some tips on how to do it.
