Informatics
Informatics is the technology that effects how you gain information from your scouts. A high informatics level will allow your scouts to gain more information on a place you send them to. A scout attack checks the size of an opposing city’s military.
With each upgrade to informatics, your scouts will gain more data when scouting, and they can scout higher level locations. Please also not that like other technologies, informatics needs certain prerequisites to upgrade. As the level of informatics increases, so will be the spying capabilities of your scouts. This might provide you with the upper hand that you will need to conquer an opposing empire. Detailed information about scouting can be found in the table below. Read the rest of this entry »
Ears and eyes in Enemy’s city
Using this stratagem you will get detailed information about one of your enemy’s cities. This can be useful later in the game when your opponents often will have millions of scouts in some of their cities. Using this stratagem you don’t have to sacrifice lots of your own scouts to get the information you need.
Sow spies in Enemy’s Camp
This offense stratagem is really useful I think, especially later in the game. When other players has millions of scouts in their cities it is very hard to scout them the normal way. Using this stratagem you can see how many troops they have in their city without having to use and scouts of your own. The stratagem is quite cheap compared to the other offense stratagems, so I can see this being one being used quite a lot.
Beacon tower
The beacon tower is quite an important building in browser game Evony. The beacon tower will warn you on incoming attacks on your city, and the higher the level of your beacon tower is, the more information you will get about the incoming attack. I advice you to have a beacon tower in each of your cities and get them to level 9 as quickly as possible. If you’re hardly ever attacked this isn’t very important, but most players are attacked now and then, and then it is a huge advantage to get as much information you can about the incoming army.

Evony endgame – checking if opponent is online
Before attacking, and especially scout bombing, strong players in the endgame of Evony it is important to figure out if they are online or offline. If they are online they can just keep their gates open if you send archers or cavalry at them, and close them if you send scout bombs having all your scouts die on their fortifications. Here are a few tricks you can use to figure out if the player you are about to attack is online.
If his gates are open you can start sending a 100k scout bomb to the target. You send 1 scout on a scout mission to land at the same time or 1 second after the scout bomb attack. Turn back the 100k scout bomb at the last second. If you see the gate is suddenly closed you know the player is online and closed his gates to defend against the scout bomb.
