Evony Age 2 Guide

As the name implies, walls are to set your city’s boundaries and protection for your city. This will allow your army to withstand attacks from an enemy. A wall’s durability is tested when an enemy attacks your walls and can’t destroy it after 100 rounds. Since after 100 rounds units will die automatically and units which do not die survive and go home.

Walls can also be upgraded per level, at level 1 walls have their durability increased to 100,000 and provide a fortified Unit space amounting to 1000. Walls produce all kinds of fortified units to protect your city, as well. The higher the level of your wall is the more fortification units you can place on it. I suggest you focus mostly on building archer towers as they are the best fortification type out there right now.

Machinery is a technology that provides the capability of your city walls to be repaired faster and be repaired in battle. With the machinery technology, if the attack on your city is rather light, then your walls will regenerate instantly.

This technology is also beneficial to protect you city from attacks, but it is not totally required. Machinery gives your city walls and fortified units the ability to repair themselves 3% faster by every tier level you level the Machinery technology up. Note that you will need a level 9 academy and level 4 iron casting technology for you to be able to research level 1 machinery.

Engineering is a technology where walls and fortified units are improved. In order for you to upgrade engineering you will be able to do so by clicking on your academy. Engineering upgrades the endurance of your city walls from attacks and fortified units by as much as 10%.

Every tier of engineering will increase the amount given by as much as 10% each time you upgrade. Engineering is a useful technology since it gives your city walls added strength to withstand invasions and attacks from opposing armies. When you decide to upgrade this technology to higher level tiers you will have prerequisites which you need to have before you are allowed to upgrade. One such prerequisite is for you have a level 8 academy built, there are also lots of resources that you need and a very long building time.

In Evony Age 1 the workshop was a pretty useless building. The only thing you needed the workshop for was as a prerequisite for building walls and for researching metal casting. Metal casting is a prerequisite for defense mechanics.

Anyways, with Evony Age 2 the workshop has become a much more important building. Now you need the workshop to be able to make gear for your heroes. Having good gear for your heroes is really important, as most heroes are very weak without being equipped with decent gear. You need certain resources to be able to produce hero gear, and this changes depending on what level of gear you want to make. You can read more about gear making here.

The workshop is also were you upgrade your gear’s star levels, you can read more about star levels and how to upgrade these levels in my guide to star levels.

Controlling your gates and deciding when to open your gate to fight is an important aspect of Evony. Some form of attacks work very well on your city when your gates are open, and some work very well when your gates are closed. All this assumes that you have filled up your wall with fortifications of course, but most cities will be filled up with that within a week after they are built. I suggest mostly archer towers and some traps and abatis as well.

If your city is well defended you usually want to have your gates open at all times. If you have your gates closed other players can easily run in with 100k archers and destroy all your archers towers and traps. Then they can send in some cavalry to take out your abatis and leave your city with no fortifications left at all. They will also most likely have taken a huge chunk of your honor in the process. Fortifications takes quite a while to rebuild so you don’t want this to happen to you. Read the rest of this entry »

Archers towers in Evony, also called Evony ATs, are simply the best fortifications there is. They stand on top of a massive wall shooting at enemy units from a comfortable position. They will gain an extra 4.5% shooting range for each level your wall is, giving them the second highest range of all the units in Evony. The only unit with higher range is the defensive trebuchet, but that unit is way too expensive and take too much room.

With a battle range of 5000 the archers towers can often shoot at enemy troops for many rounds without anyone hitting them back. I try to get as many archer towers as possible on my walls, about 14,000 of them on a maxed wall. Read the rest of this entry »

Defending your cities is obviously very important in Evony. For defense you can use both a lot of scouts so they are not able to find out how many troops you have or just a lot of defense troops so they can’t manage to beat you anyways. In addition to your troops you need a lot of fortifications, I recommend archers towers, they are effective against almost anything the enemy can send at you.

I also recommend having gate closed usually, unless you’re able to have a huge defense army in town, or you are only and manage to figure out how large of an army your enemy sends against you. It’s true that more powerfull players will destroy your fortifications frequently, but they are pretty cheap to rebuild after all. If you keep rebuilding fortifications and don’t have much resources worth to plunder other players will proabably just leave you alone. Read the rest of this entry »
