Evony Strategy Guide

If you use this stratagem your opponent can not recall his troops before they finish the attack they are on. This stratagem can be disabled if you use Cicada sheds it’s skin. I guess this stratagem can be fairly useful, but doubt it will be one of the popular ones.

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%.

As you may know the build time of troops in Evony depends on the attack skill of the hero that is currently major of your city. Something you might not know is that Evony rounds time down, so if your hero’s attack skill is high enough you can actually train troops in 0 seconds, pretty cool! It works right now as I’m writing this, but maybe it’ll be changed so use it while you can, it’s kinda like a cheat after all. The forumla for training time is:

Training time = (base training time)*.9^(technology level)*.995^(hero attack)

When this formula gives you a result less than 1 second Evony rounds it down to 0 seconds.

Yes, it’s possible to attack barbarian NPC villages without any losses at all. You get a lot of experience for your hero when you’re doing this as well as lots of resources. I’ve done this with villages up to level 5 so far, but I will attack higher once I get enough troops to do so. Read on to figure out how.

If you don’t have high enough informatics technology, you’ll get inaccurate scout reports, here is what the different terms mean.

Few: 1 – 24
Pack: 25 – 49
Lots: 50 – 99
Horde: 100 – 249
Throng: 250 – 499
Swarm: 500 – 999
Zounds: 1,000 – 2499
Legion: 2500 – 4999
Bulk: 5000 – 10000
Giga: 10000 and more

You can make more than 10 million gold a day in Evony using this strategy. Actually 10 million is just a cool number, the correct one is 950,000 gold an hour, most people don’t play 24/7 however. The way to do this is to raid NPC villages, and I will tell you how.

To do this I would recommend having a minimum of two villages, and one of them should be as close to a level 5 NPC village as possible. The level 5 NPC village will have 950,000 gold in it when full, it regenerates all that gold in one hour, so to get the max from it you should be within half an hour from it with transports.

You start out building warriors and archers, that’s it. Many people say that warriors suck, and yeah it’s true they are the weakest of the troops, but they are also way cheaper and faster to build. In the beginning you’d like to get troops quickly, and you don’t have 15 barracks in each village either like you will later, so that’s why you should focus on the warriors.

It’s also true that archers can kill warriors easily, with no losses if there are enough archers, but that’s why you’re building your own archers at the same time. Don’t ever leave your warriors alone with open gates or in a valley somewhere, always keep them together with the archers you’re building at the same time. 1 archer for every 10 warriors you build is a good ratio starting out. The archers will also be used for taking out all warrior, pike or sword armies in valleys with no losses.

Later on you can build other troops, but first get 100,000 warriors and 10,000 archers.
