Evony Age 2 Guide

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 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.

The beacon tower allows you to be warned in the cases of an incoming invasion towards your city. It sends you information about the invasion like army size, time the invading army might arrive, and heroes which are marching with the invading army.

When you level this building, it allows you to gain more information about the invasion. An example is, at level 2 the beacon tower will send you information if the invading army is marching to plunder or to scout. So as you upgrade the more info it will give you about the invasion. It is also said that upgrading informatics will also play a role on the information given by the beacon tower. The building is a must for every city that you have, as getting information about incoming attacks is really important.

The barracks is where you train and dismiss an army, and it is the building you will have the most of in your cities. It is here where you produce the military that you need to go to war or defend your city. Since wars are waged everyday in the world of Envoy, you will surely need a lot of barracks to prepare for war.

As you level your barracks, you will also be able to produce more advanced military units. For a level 1 barracks you will be able to produce workers and warriors. As you progress leveling the barracks you are able to produce units such as scouts, swordsmen, archers and cavalry. Most top players have at least 15 barracks in each of their cities to be able to produce troops as quickly as possible.

A rally spot is a building in your city where you assemble your military forces, prepare for war or for military exercises. It is also here where you adjust your army’s status and strength. The rally spot also serves as the location where you determine which strategies to use in times of an invasion or war.

There are several options in the rally spot on how to prepare your army like march, is used to assemble your army for war. The open the gates option allows you to determine if you want your army to defend your city walls or keep them safe inside the barracks. When you level your rally spot’s tier it will increase the amount of troops you can march at one time and increasing its limit in doing so.

Evony Age 2 has made the rally spot much more efficient to use than it was before. There are also some new types of attacks you can send out from the rally spot now, like the colonize attack that you can read more about here. A rally spot is a must have for every city.

In Evony Age II you have to declare war on someone before you can attack them. There is a wait period from when you declare war until you can start launching the attack, I believe that period is 8 hours now. However, if you use the Wage war without declaration stratagem you can start attacking your opponent right away. You have a two hour window to do this. Seems like a very useful stratagem, and one of the cheapest offense stratagems also.
