Evony Age 2 Guide

This offense stratagem is very powerful, the best one there is in Evony Age II in my opinion. What it does is to burn 10% to 50% of the food in your opponents city. Later in the game players often have several billion food stored in their cities and destroying up to 50% of this is huge! With this stratagem out there it will be very hard to support large armies, as you always risk someone using this stratagem on you. The cool down period is also only 6 hours, so you can use it several times a day.

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.

This stratagem lets you loot more resources from your opponent in attacks by lowering the warehouse capacity by half of it’s level. Since most players don’t use warehouses in Evony, I can’t see this stratagem being useful at all. The stratagem is way too expensive also, so I doubt I will ever use it.

This is one of the most useful stratagems I’ve seen in Evony Age II so far. What it does is to besiege an enemy city and not letting any troops leave from it for a 2 hour period. Say if your opponent has lots of expensive troops in the city, like catapults or ballistas, besieging the city and killing them all off can be very useful. The bad thing with the stratagem is that it is quite expensive and your opponent can counter it with the cheap defense stratagem Advance by a hidden path.

This stratagem lowers the loyalty by one of your opponents heroes by 10% to 50%. If your opponent has an amazing hero as mayor of a city you can successfully attack I can see this stratagem being pretty useful. It is however quite expensive like all the offense stratagems are, so I doubt I will use this much, if at all.

This is the last of the five defensive stratagems in Evony Age II. What this does is letting your army escape your city when your city is being besieged. It is the counter measure against the offense stratagem Ambush from all sides, letting your army escape and not be stuck in the city and killed off. This seems like the most useful defense stratagem to me, and it is one I’m sure I’ll use several times.

This stratagem seems a bit more useful than the cast a brick to attract a gem, it does the exact opposite. Instead of showing that you have more resources than you actually do, it shows on the scout reports that you have less, only 10% to 20% of your actual resources. I can see this being very useful early on the server when there is a ton of plundering going on, instead of showing 3 million resources it shows only 300k -600k, and this may stop someone from attacking you who would do so otherwise.
