Evony Age 2 Guide

The Evony Age 2 wiki is almost complete now, and there is tons of information you can find there now. You can find information about all the new Evony Age 2 features, the buildings, the troops, all the new Evony Age 2 items, the stratagems, medals guide for Evony Age 2 and lots more stuff. You should definitely take a look at it if you haven’t done so already.

The only thing left to do is to add information about all the quests of Evony Age 2, and I’m working on that at the moment. If you have any information you think should be added to the Evony Age 2 wiki, anything you think should be change, or any questions to the information there, feel free to leave a comment to any of the articles!

Ballistas are the units you use to farm level 1 to level 5 NPCs with in Evony Age 2. In Evony Age 1 there was a period you could farm all the different types of NPCs without losses using ballistas, but these days you can only farm the first 5 NPC levels.  I suggest you go to the wiki to check out the exact numbers you need to farm the first 5 NPCs without any losses. It is related to your technology levels, but overall you shouldn’t think about farming NPCs with ballistas until your archery technology reaches at least level 6.

The ballista is a pretty slow troop type to build, and you will need a lot of high level barracks to build a large ballista army. It will probably take you a few weeks on a new Evony Age 2 server before you can start farming the NPCs efficiently with ballistas.

The swordsman is the defense foot soldier, but the troop type is not used much in Evony Age 2. Swordsmen are decent at attacking too, but most players in Evony Age 2 use pikemen instead as they are faster and fights enemy cavalry better. Swordsmen are slow to build and they move pretty slowly also. When it comes to defense in Evony Age 2, swordsmen aren’t much used either. The reason is that archers usually perform way better compared to the same number of swordsmen. Personally, I haven’t really used swordsmen much at all in Evony Age 2.

The warrior is the cheapest and quickest troop type to build in Evony Age 2, and I expect this to be a very popular troop type in Age 2 as it is in Age 1. Warriors are often called the suicide troop as they are extremely quick to train, and because of that it is a popular troop type to mass produce and use for suicide attacks.

Warriors are often used to get rid of enemy fortifications in a suicide attack before you send your real army in there. Often players also kill their warriors on other players to get rid of their honor points, honor points were really bad in Age 1 cause of the healing % being lower then, I think it’s the same in Evony Age 2. You also use warriors in your rainbow attacks for layering.

Archers are by far the most popular troop type of Evony Age 2, and it was the same in Age 1. The reason is simply that it is considered the best troop there is. Archers will perform better than pretty much any other troop combination your enemy can send at you. Archers are great both when it comes to PvP and PvE. People have been farming NPCs with archers for a long time, and no other troop performs as good as archers here. When you want to conquer these new historic cities of Evony Age 2, archers are also the way to go.

Both for defense and offense archers are really good, and I suggest you focus mostly on archers when it comes to the basic defense of each of your cities. You need level 4 barracks to build archers, so the first thing you should focus on when you build a new city is to get all the barracks to level 4.

The Senior Battalion is an Evony item which grants you 100-200 archers, 150-250 swordsmen, 200-250 scouts and 200-300 pikemen. Most people feel the swordsmen and pikesmen have little worth. The Senior Battalion is equivalent to about 300 archers. It should be noted that this item cannot be bought through the Evony Store. Senior Battalion can only be obtained by spinning the Wheel of Fortune.

The Corselet is an item offered for purchase on Evony which will increase the defenses of your troops by 20% with a duration of 24 hours. One common misunderstanding is that if you apply a Corselet while your troops are marching, they will not receive the item bonus. This is completely untrue. The Corselet effects are present while defending, as well as attacking. One effective way to use this item is to couple it with a War Horn. This will give you a 20% bonus to your attack and a 20% bonus to your defense. This is a stackable item. A Corselet has an Evony Price of 10 cents.
