Transporters
The transporters of Evony Age 2, are just the same as they are in Age 1. They are the only choice when you want to carry a large number of resources from one city to another. Transporters are also the only choice when you want to attack level 10 NPCs or historic cities, if you want to be able to carry away all the resources you will find there that is. Transporters are quite slow though build however, so at the start of a new Evony Age 2 server you would probably use workers mostly the first few weeks.
Workers
The worker is your most basic transport unit in Evony. You will pretty much only use them early on, as the transporters you will get later in the game are much better. Workers can only carry 200 resources each, which is way less than the transporters that can carry 5,000 resources. The worker is pretty useless in battle and dies very easily. All in all it’s pretty much the worst troop in Evony, and don’t build any more of them than just enough to build cities.
Veteran Battalion
The Veteran Battalion in Evony is an item which once used will give you an average of 150 cataphracts, 325 transporters and 200 cavalry. These units are all very useful in the middle or late game. This item is equivalent to about 1900 archers. Make sure you do not use the Mechanics Battalion before mid-game, as you will run into a food issue. The Veteran Battalion can be obtained by spinning the Wheel of Fortune.
List of number of ballistas needed to attack NPC villages without losses
This NPC list is not accurate after the 1. june patch 2009, and now with Evony being updated to Evony Age II on most servers it will probably be completely inaccurate.
Here is a list with how many ballistas you need to attack NPC barbarian villages without losses. People keep asking this all the time, so I decided to make a list. This is for level 1 to level 8, I have not tried level 9 yet, and I’m not going to post numbers I have not testet out myself. Villages level 1-4 have been done with level 7 archery, 5-6 with level 8 archery and 7-8 with level 9 archery. I’ve increased some of the numbers 26. may after some people told me they lost some ballistas using them, the hero in the NPC village might be the reason, but now with this increase it should be safe to follow this guide.
For all numbers a hero with level 90+ attack have been used. Using heros with low attack is risky, and you might loose all your troops doing so. I lost 3800 ballistas against a level 8 NPC village using a 15 attack hero, so it can have large effects. Here is the list.
