Evony Strategy Guide

Achievements seems to be another new feature of Evony Age II. The achievement quests are different from the normal quests you are used to from before. Some of them involve killing various type of troops and conquering other players. Overall they seem to be more geared towards offense and war than the regular Evony quests.

You seem to get points in reward for doing these Achievements. This is different from the normal quests where you get resources or items in reward. You can use these points to get prestige rewards later on. There is quite a lot of achievements to can accomplish, and I will get a more detailed list on these Achievements later, but here are those I’ve seen so far. Read the rest of this entry »

Inundate with rumors is the first of the offense stratagems. What this one does is to increase the public grievance of a rival city by 15. You can only use this stratagem once every 24 hours. I can see this stratagem being quite useful, but it is quite a bit expensive for what it does.

Loyalty is important in Evony, and your goal should be to have your cities at 100 loyalty at all times. This is the maximum loyalty that you can have. Evony updates your loyalty every sixth minute, this is called an Evony tick, and if your citizens are unhappy by something your loyalty will decrease by 1 every tick. Your loyalty can also decrease if you happen to be attack, this is how you conquer cities in Evony after all. With every successful attack against your city your loyalty will go down. Loyalty is closely relation to tax rate and public grievance, more about this here.

In the start of new servers you’ll manipulate loyalty with comfort reliefs every 15 minutes to keep your population at maximum with 100% tax rate. This is only the first weeks of the server however, when resources are cheap. After that you’ll just keep your tax rate at 0% all the time and thus have loyalty at 100 all the time.

It is harder to increase population in Evony with public grievance, but it is definitely possible. Both public grievance, tax rate and loyalty is related to how fast your population will grow. As you have probably noticed, the the lower your tax rate is the faster your population increase is. You can see this from the table posted below that your population increase per tick with 0% tax rate is 5%. This is the maximum possible population increase per tick that you can have. A tick happens every 6 minutes in Evony, then Evony will update loyalty, population and gold for each city you have. This happens at the same time for all cities on the server.
