Evony Age 2 Guide

Archimedes’ Notes is an item offered for purchase through Evony which decreases the time remaning of fortified unit construction by 30%. You are only able to apply one time per construction that is in the queue. This item would be the most useful if you are after a massive build order. One such build would be the 10k archer towers on single walls. This would take about 14 days total, but by using this item, the time needed to complete this build would only be 10 days. Although it must be noted, it is rare that someone would be in such a rush to finish a build that they would use this item.

A relief station is a place where your army, deliverymen or your scouts could rest while traveling between your cities or between routes towards your allied cities. The relief station offers them safe refuge and a place to rest. Like any other building in, Envoy, the relief station can be upgraded.

Upgrading a station will allow your army or scouts traveling to your cities or to your allied cities to travel faster increasing their movement speed by a multiplier. The multiplier increases at levels 1, 4, 5, 8, and 10. The travelling speed of the troops is affected by the sending city’s relief station level. It only affects troops marching between friendly cities, that is your own cities or to reinforce your allies.

Horseback riding allows you to build cavalry units at level 1. Upgrading this technology provides your cavalry and siege weapon units 5% movement speed increase. When you reach level 5 horseback riding you will also be allowed to build cataphracts, which are more heavily armored type of cavalry.

Upgrading this technology has prerequisites to be attained and gathered before you are allows to upgrade. You can find more details about horseback riding in the table below. Read the rest of this entry »

Construction is a process by which you build building for your city. This technology, is one of the must have technologies you will need to build the empire you want. Construction will increase the speed of buildings being constructed in your city by 10% each time your upgrade.

Upgrading the construction technology will be beneficial for you since it will make you build building at a faster right, minimizing down time in building your empire in Envoy. As like any other technology upgrades, construction will require prerequisites and costs before you can level it up to a new level. You may find and upgrade the construction technology in the academy building in your city. More details about this technology is posted in the table below. Read the rest of this entry »

This Evony Age II stratagem might seem very similar to Cicada sheds it’s skin when you look at the description. However, this stratagem makes your troops move faster towards your enemy, not on the return trip. I can see this being useful when you want to attack someone by surprise. It decreases your troops marching duration by 30%.

This stratagem increases your troops returning speed by 30%. This is a good counter measure to the stratagem Bolt the Door to Catch the Thief. Cicada sheds it’s skin seems like a fairly decent stratagem to use in special situations. It is also fairly cheap for an offense stratagem. I have no idea who Cicada is however.

There seems to be some new Hero Attributes in Evony Age II. That is hero leadership, hero speed and hero energy. Hero energy seems to be a certain number out of 100. Every time your hero marches he looses 4 of his energy points. These energy points will recover over time.

Speed and leadership however I’m not sure what are yet. Leadership can be over 100, and I heard of one player having a hero with 120 leadership. When it comes to speed I think it might be a bonus to how fast troops led by that hero would move, but I have not tested this out yet. Will update this articles as soon as I find out more.
