Units, Costs, and Actual unit costs - Analysis of units per unit cost

2009-08-04T21:45:00.000-07:00

Introduction

Not many players weigh the numbers out when picking units to build. I believe this is why the market prices differ so greatly. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, you've come to the right place!

Terminology:

Actual unit costs: The amount of gold you must spend to build one specific unit.
X per gold: The amount of X stat you have for each gold spent.

The Math:

Let F = Food to build a unit
Let L = Lumber to build a unit
Let S = Stone to build a unit
Let I = Iron to build a unit

Assumption: Prices of Food, Lumber, Stone, and Iron are as follows. These may not be actual values, but are just picked from Server 3 as the market generally hovers around. They may differ for each server, and you'll have to compensate for those differences.

Food: 0.050
Lumber: 0.100
Stone = 0.060
Iron = 0.025

Let G = The amount of gold required to purchase the resources to produce a unit.

So G = F*0.050 + L*0.100 + S*0.060 + I*0.025
Or G = F*Pf + L*Pl + S*Ps + I*Pi (where Px = Price of resource)

Summary of units:

Unit Type	Food	Lumber	Stone	Iron	Total Gold Cost
Worker	50	150	0	10	17.75
Warrior	80	100	0	50	15.25
Scout	120	200	0	150	29.75
Pikeman	150	500	0	100	60.00
Swordsman	200	150	0	400	35.00
Archer	300	350	0	300	57.50
Cavalry	1000	600	0	500	122.50
Cataphract	2000	500	0	2500	212.50
Transporter	600	1500	0	350	188.75
Ballista	2500	3000	0	1800	470.00
Battering Ram	4000	6000	0	1500	837.50
Catapult	5000	5000	8000	1200	1260.00

The total gold cost per unit is really the only attribute that matters in regards to the units cost. So a pikeman who has a hefty 60 gold cost is really only better than a warrior with a 15.25 gold cost if a pikeman can kill 4 warriors. I mean, why would you buy 1000 pikeman if you can buy 4000 warriors for the same price, and the warriors will outperform the pikeman on every occasion? This is a direct result of high lumber prices. You can get almost 2 swordsmen for the price of 1 pikemen, and I guarantee you they will outperform the pikemen 100% of the time (given you have twice as many).

Effective Hit Points:

Effective hit points are the actual numerical quantity of life that the unit has, compensating for defense. It is the best form of measurement for meat shields. The best way to get a grasp of what the best meat shield is is to take the EHP (Effective hit points) per gold cost of the unit. Obviously a battering ram is a great meat shield because it has 5000 life, but at the cost of 837.50 gold you could have gotten 55 warriors, who would collectively boast an 11000 net life force. Twice the bang for your buck!

Let EHP = Effective Hit Points
Let Life = Life attribute of the unit in question
Let Defense = Defense attribute of the unit in question

Let EHP10 = Effective Hit Points with full defense research
Let Def10 = Defense attribute of the unit in question with full defense research

EHP = Life / (1 - (Defense/1000))
EHP/Gold = Life*G / (1 - (Defense/1000))
EHP10 = Life / (1 - (Defense*1.5/1000))
EHP10/Gold = Life*G / (1 - (Defense*1.5/1000))

Heres a chart of meat shield information:

Unit Type	Gold Cost	EHP	EHP/G	EHP10	EHP10/G
Worker	17.75	101.01	5.69	101.52	5.72
Warrior	15.25	210.53	13.81	216.22	14.18
Scout	29.75	102.04	3.43	103.09	3.47
Pikeman	60.00	352.94	5.88	387.10	6.45
Swordsman	35.00	466.67	13.33	560.00	16.00
Archer	57.50	263.16	4.58	270.27	4.70
Cavalry	122.50	609.76	4.98	684.93	5.59
Cataphract	212.50	1538.46	7.24	2105.26	9.91
Transporter	188.75	744.68	3.95	769.23	4.08
Ballista	470.00	380.95	0.81	421.05	0.90
Battering Ram	837.50	5952.38	7.11	6578.95	7.86
Catapult	1260.00	600.00	0.48	685.71	0.54

As you can see, warriors and swordsmen are by far the best bang for your buck for meat shields. Cataphracts come as a distant 3rd, and pikeman, cavalry, and archers are simply not good meat shields at all. Essentially what this comes down to is that if you are going to take casualties (and you will), you're going to want to lose Swordsmen and Warriors.

Transportation - Who is the best resource mover?

Since I played travian quite a bit, and loved my TT's, I love finding out what is the best hauler. You want to be able to pillage as many resources as possible, but don't want to spend zillions of gold on units to do so. So whos the most efficient hauler?

Hauler Rating = Load * Speed / Unit Cost

Explanation of rating: The faster the unit is, the faster you can haul the resources. The more resources you can hold, the faster you can haul resources. Load * Speed is just a value that represents hauling a number of units a given distance. Truncated with only a few units because I hit max characters for post =[.

Unit Type	Gold Cost	Load	Speed	Hauler Rating
Worker	17.75	200	180	2028.17
Warrior	15.25	20	200	262.30
Pikeman	60.00	40	300	200.00
Swordsman	35.00	30	275	235.71
Cavalry	122.50	100	1000	816.33
Cataphract	212.50	80	750	282.35
Transporter	188.75	5000	150	3973.51

As you can see, transports are the king of haulers, followed by workers, than cavalry at a distant 3rd. Ballista, Battering Ram, and Catapults are most definately the worst haulers (imagine that). I'd say transports are 100 times more superior to any other unit just because they don't fight.

Power! Best offensive troop

Same chart as EHP but lets analyze Attack power per gold. PLEASE NOTE that the attack power of Archers, Catapults, and Ballistas, are HALVED as per this thread: Combat Formula

Unit Type	Gold Cost	Attack	Attack/Gold
Worker	17.75	5	0.28
Warrior	15.25	50	3.28
Scout	29.75	20	0.67
Pikeman	60.00	150	2.50
Swordsman	35.00	100	2.86
Archer	57.50	120	1.04
Cavalry	122.50	250	2.04
Cataphract	212.50	350	1.65
Transporter	188.75	10	0.05
Ballista	470.00	450	0.48
Battering Ram	837.50	250	0.30
Catapult	1260.00	600	0.24

Imagine that, Swords #2, Warriors #1 =]

NPC Farming for non-noobs

2009-07-24T17:50:00.000-07:00

About upgrades and game glitches:
If you look at a worker with 200 load capacity and the logistics level. Logistics have similar description on its upgrades compared to archery, hbr, and compass where it says the upgrade "enhances by %". Since the descriptions are the same, i'm going to assume that the same bonus formula will be applied for all of the mentioned upgrades.

Given that I have logistics level 7, my worker should be able to transport 340 loads (200 x (100%+70%)). However, what i actually get is 338 load sometimes, and i get 340 on other. The reason for the fluctuation is that, *in rare cases*, the game compute the food required for traveling time to be 2, and on other times, it doesn't calculate the food needed for travel at all!!! (When i actually press send, it doesn't subtract the food from the city i sent from).
However, this discrepancy is not significant enough or happens enough to tell me that actual battle calculations can be off at times so, i've included this as just some anomally i noticed at times.

*But one thing i can conclude is that, some of you guys who have thought the percentage on the upgrades is compounded are probably wrong. Unless devs like to make the same descriptions for upgrades and use a completely different formula...*

Now, onto NPC lvl 5 raids.

Some of you guys who are taking loses with HBR 8,9,10 at lower level Archery such as 8 and below (not archery 9 and 10)... consider this, your battle rounds lasted 47 to 49 rounds for the towers to finish your ballistas off, in the meanwhile, me at lvl 8 Archery and HBR 5 fought roughly about 65 rounds.

http://battle18.evony.com/default.ht...c0497caec4.xml
Hero w/ 88 attack for 65 rounds

http://battle18.evony.com/default.ht...0624d7ded4.xml
Hero w/ 84 attack for 66 rounds

http://battle18.evony.com/default.ht...5ca95651c9.xml
Hero w/ 80 attack for 68 rounds

For those of you who have been doing some math and reading on the forums, it's definitely a mystery to me from the calculations of Archery/HBR combination that ballista's initial first hit range in Archery 8/HBR 5 (which is supposed to be at 1875) keeps them safe from Tower range at (1300x1.5=) 1950. But it works, and my previous links proves that it works. Therefore, I can only conclude that upgrading HBR to 6,7 @ archery 7 and below, or HBR to 8,9 @ archery 8 makes your ballistas stupid making them move into tower range, resulting in heavy ballista losses.

Now, i recently upgraded my archery to 9, keeping HBR at 5, and have started taking some losses.

These are my battles:
http://battle18.evony.com/default.ht...ba66abac51.xml
Hero attack 93

http://battle18.evony.com/default.ht...c17015452f.xml
Hero attack 88

Another member, Ryoki, a different member from the other thread, with HBR 6, went from archery 8 to 9. He took no losses at archery 8, but took 44 losses on 9.
This is his battle report:
http://battle20.evony.com/default.ht...41d33189e9.xml

http://battle20.evony.com/default.ht...d58fe64f11.xml

Solution
As icedppul mentioned very thoroughly about the battle mechanics, it was indeed the archers hiding behind the swordsman that took out some of my ballistas, not the cavalries.

I haven't tested my theory about the catapults + ballistas... but it's not really something most people can do so I'm not going to emphasize it as a solution. However, theoretically it should work as long as the archery / hbr combo leads ballistas to tower safe ranges.

Higher lvl NPCS:

I know it's now impossible to get 0 losses against trebuchets, but lv 6 cities can be raided with some 150-200 ballista losses. This is because your ballistas and catapults still have a tower safe range. I can conclude this from the reports of the players who have lost only 300 ballistas out of 600 and winning the battle. If their ballistas were in tower range from round 1, they would've lost almost all of their ballistas.

(On the side note)
For those of you thinking that hero attacks change the tech lvl.

Hero attacks factor in as the variable that reduces the rounds. Higher the attack of the hero, the less time it takes to finish the battle. This is because hero attacks increase damage and defense variables in the system. If you want proof, you can see my 2 battle reports with hero attack 93 and 88.

Notice the 5 attack difference resulted in same number of rounds, but with 2 less losses on ballistas?

In other words, we can safely assume that that hero attack purely changes the attack and defense of units, not the tech level. I just can't seem to see significant correlation present on the tech factor from hero attack levels.

Confirmed Archery and HBR combinations when raiding a lvl 5 npc city (the 0 loss combination will work for any npc lvl under it as well).
Archery 07 / HBR 07 (Massive losses due to being in tower range, confirmed by Countryrazorback)

Archery 08 / HBR 03 (Massive losses due to being in tower range, confirmed by simul)
Archery 08 / HBR 04 (Smalls losses from units but @ tower safe range, confirmed by thetho21)
Archery 08 / HBR 05 (0 Losses confirmed by me, shoko-koko, Cudaman73)
Archery 08 / HBR 06 (0 Losses confirmed by Lena, Samuraial, Vanin, Icedppul and Zeddknite)
Archery 08 / HBR 07 (0 Losses confirmed by akeness)
Archery 08 / HBR 08 (Massive losses due to being in tower range, confirmed by Juan Guerra, and Leepang)
Archery 08 / HBR 09 (Massive losses due to being in tower range, confirmed by CravenMore, and brycepunk1.)

Archery 09 / HBR 01 (Small losses from units but @ tower safe range, confirmed by lingerer)
Archery 09 / HBR 02 (0 Losses when using over 575 ballistas confirmed by Hand Shank)
Archery 09 / HBR 03 (0 Losses confirmed by Zareth)
Archery 09 / HBR 05 (Small losses from units but @ tower safe range, confirmed by me)
Archery 09 / HBR 06 (Small losses from units but @ tower safe range, confirmed by me and soydeedo.)

Archery 09 / HBR 08 (0 Losses confirmed by Patta23)
Archery 09 / HBR 09 (0 Losses confirmed by Shoko-koko, Smasher, and SeksuAlus)

Archery 10 / HBR 05 (0 Losses confirmed by Zareth, Thalum, and Robertstewart55)
Archery 10 / HBR 06 (0 Losses confirmed by JoMama)
Archery 10 / HBR 07 (0 Losses confirmed by Zareth)
Archery 10 / HBR 08 (0 Losses confirmed by Patta23, Mantooth, LordGastros, and MikieCGY)
Archery 10 / HBR 09 (Since more people have shown 0 losses, I'm going to say it's good. Confirmed by me, JPA32, Kumquat, match, Scinto, xifins, SeksuAlus, Fubar2150, and Jabbers.)
Archery 10 / HBR 10 (0 Losses confirmed by Angel_Fire and Ostoles)

*NOTE
If you have these tech levels and you are incurring losses, it's because your hero attacks are too low, or you aren't sending in enough ballistas.

The following are number of ballistas that you can send to raid npc cities despite the defending hero stats and your hero stats. It's not the MINIMUM amount of ballistas, but a sure number to raid NPC cities without losses:

20 Ballistas vs Lvl1 NPC
50 Ballistas vs Lvl2 NPC
170 Ballistas vs Lvl3 NPC
250 Ballistas vs Lvl4 NPC
550 Ballistas vs Lvl5 NPC

Confirmed Archery and HBR combinations when raiding a lvl 6 npc city (you will always expect losses, but this will be the combination for minimal losses).

Archery 10 / HBR 09 (200-300 ballista losses, which shows that ballistas didn't die from towers, but mainly trebuchets confirmed by SeksuAlus. This is more effective when using fodder for the trebuchets.)

I'm also collecting some information on your attempts at lvl 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 cities, so if you can, please post those results as well. And thank you all for continuing to support this thread and sharing your knowledge. I will do my best to keep this thread alive and updated.

*Please READ*

Farming npcs is important but it's also important to know how to spawn one. I understand that game dev. don't like people spawning npcs, but if it's going to happen anyways, i'm going to let you know how to do it right.

1) It's best to spawn level 4 and 5 npcs. The valley level determines the npc level that will spawn there and in order to do this, you need to have a level 4 or 5 valley.

2) To get a level 4, 5 valley, you need to wait for the server maintanence that occurs daily. Each maintanence brings up every single valley's level up by 1. Once it gets to 10, it goes back down to 1.

3) The only exception to this rule is when the valleys are occupied by players. So if you want to spawn npc lvl 4,5 cities, please do not hold on to valleys thinking it will lvl up after every maintanence. It won't work, and will keep the same level.

(Side note: This is irrelevant to the npc farming, but since it's a non-noob post...
Please do not hold on to low level valleys! Abandon it each night before server maintanence until it acquires the desired level you want. I'm getting tired of people being lazy around my cities holding on to level 1-7 valleys and crying there isn't enough valleys, or there are only crappy valleys around them!)

Complete reference to conquer a level 10 NPC

2009-07-23T23:32:00.000-07:00

Complete reference to conquer a level 10 NPC

I. DISCLAIMER

There can be one hundred different guides to achieve this. All I intend to do is to make place for a complete reference for a first timer and to share my experiences so that others can just take the lessons out of it. I wish to thank other posts without which I would not have taken a level 10 NPC myself. Also, I wish to thank Wingus and Jason Q (my alliance mates) who inspire me a lot towards playing this game. If you have time and patience, please read through. Here we go...

II. INTRODUCTION

A level 10 NPC might look astounding while we look at the scouting report but with a few tips and tricks, it just gets tamed easily. I have had experiences with 3x level 10 NPCs. So, I just wish to share my thoughts and experiences so that the level 10 NPC conquering aspirants get benefitted out of this. Throughout this write-up, I would have mentioned the optimum or the minimum troops required. If you want to be pretty safe, use slightly higher values.

III. PREREQUISITES (MANDATORY)

1. Troops

17,000 Ballistae, 140,000 Archers & 120,000 Warriors

This solely depends upon the proximity of your target level 10 NPC from your attacking city. First wave aka Spearhead wave should take down the fortifications and troops inside it while the other waves (usually in 2 minute gap or lesser) should be able to handle the regenerated fortifications/troops, totalling about 50 waves in all. There are a lot of distributions of troops possible like – Archer only, Ballistae only, etc. I, however feel this as an optimal way to train and accumulate.

2. Extra Town Slot

This is quite obvious, however if you want to do this exercise while you are a Marquis or Duke and that you don’t have an extra town slot, you might depend on your attacks for the medal drops and thereby you await your next title during the course of action. This is absolutely fine as long as you need about 4 justice medals and 4 nation medals. If you need more, then you must be prepared with a few additional troops to prolong the attacking sequence.

3. Penicillin, Corselet & War Horn

I am not so sure of the order of priority among these three but these are the ones that make or break the process. Without these, losses incurred can be too huge to be handled by a first-timer. Watch out, they are in the mandatory list!

4. Scouting Heroes inside the NPC

Whenever you scout the NPC, the Hero inside it changes. Keep doing this until u find a Hero with level less than 10 or so. He can still have an attack of about 80 or more which we are not so sure of. However, the point is we all expect a low level Hero to be weaker than a higher level Hero. At the end of scouting, you can launch your attack. Hero won’t change after that and will remain the same throughout the whole process.

5. Technology Levels

As far as I know, Archery, MT, Medicine & IW should be maxed out. Additionally, I had Compass maxed and HBR at level 9.

6. Heroes to be sent

Get ready with the heroes to be sent. All should have ATT greater than 100 or so. Based on the no. of waves to be maintained in action, you will need about 5 to 10 heroes.

7. Buildings

Rally point – If you take up Archer only or Archers + Ballistae method, this building should be of level 9 minimum. For those who aren’t aware of, a level of Rally Point adds up 10,000 troops to be sent in a single wave.

IV. PREREQUISITES (OPTIONAL)

1. Apply War Ensign

This is an item which can be enabled by ticking the small checkbox located in the top left of Marching Window. This will include as much as 25% additional troops to be deployed out of a single wave, so this finds its use in the Spearhead wave to take minimal losses. From the next wave onwards, don’t forget to un-tick it, else you keep losing this item unnecessarily.

2. Buildings

Rally point – The level of this is directly proportional to the no. of waves to be in action and hence to the distance of the target from the attacking town.
Feasting Hall – For the same reason as above, this needs to be of level 9 to make the best use of it.
Note: If you attack an NPC in next tile of distance 1 mile, you will probably end up in a round trip of about 7 minutes. Since 2minutes is a nice gap to be maintained, you will need 4 waves in action to keep it going. Hence a level 5 of the said buildings should be assumed as the minimum requirement. However, if the distance is 3 miles or more, the round trip will be mostly 16 minutes or more and hence you need 8 – 9 waves in action. That’s the logic!

3. Upkeep Costs

If you plan to attack from a recently established town, watch out for the upkeep costs in terms of Food for troops and gold for Heroes. Have enough supplies. Also, keep in mind the cookies (22, 300, 000 total) you get from wave 1 if you send enough transporters.

V. SOME BASICS

1. Wave composition

Wave 1 –

17,000 Ballistae +
Some rams/catapults (optional) +
Rainbow (one of each other troop for the layering) (optional) +
Necessary transporters (optional - up to 22.3m resources) +
Rest with Archers (based on whether you have applied war ensign or not)
Note: In Wave 1, mass warriors don’t work. Hence, use maximum archers/ballistae whereas in other waves, they work as decent meat shields.

Wave 2 till end –

15,000 archers +
20,000 warriors +
Rainbow (excluding transports, ballista, catapults & rams)
Note: The said archers can take out the 40,000 warriors spawn so that you don’t have to be glued to the timings much. Warriors can range from 20,000 to 30,000, not much of significance but the meat shields are needed and their numbers can be based on the troops that you have, don’t stick to plain numbers, and use brain!

2. Medals drop / Wave timings balance

Medals drop only when a good no. of troops are killed. The spearhead wave should drop a medal (where you slaughter 400,000 warriors), no doubt. In the subsequent waves, only fortifications regenerate, so you may not get medals. Troops regenerate as 40,000 warriors once in about 6 minutes where you can expect a medal drop. If you look out for more medal drops, you wud like to prolong the process, so you can maintain the wave gap as 2 minutes or so. Otherwise, it can be as less as that can be sustained. 4 Justice and 4 Nation medals are quite normal to be set as minimum expectations.

3. Loyalty reduction

The starting value is 92 at the level 10 NPC. It loses 3-4 per successful attack till the value goes down to 50 (depends on the wave compostion) and thereafter it loses 2-3 per attack, totalling to about 40-50 attacks.

4. Level up Heroes when they return

When a wave returns, don’t rush to send them back again. Check out the timings of the wave that has just marched out, level up the Hero who has just returned and then send the next wave.

Prestige Building

You can increase your Prestige by upgrading buildings, training army and winning battle. Once you lose city or army get defeated, your Prestige will decline. To some extent, a lord's Prestige can decide his weight in this world. If you possess high Prestige, gangsters are daunted with your name and dare not to lay eyes on your cities. The most important is that, with the aggregations of your Prestige, you're more likely to be granted with higher title, which enables you to rule more cities.

Quest: The Medals: Rose Medal
Target	Awards
Rose Medal	Rose Medal	Prestige	Food
1	1	100	10,000

Where to Obtain:

Rose Medals can be obtained by attacking valleys or cities.

The level requirement for the valley or city you are attacking is of minor significance, as Rose Medals can drop in any valley or city from level one and up. The best place to obtain Rose Medals are in level 1-3 valleys.

The best way I have found to get rose medals, is to attack level 1-3 valleys, with 100-300 warriors, but with big troops loss. Before I had greater success in lakes, but now it seems that I can get them anywhere.

I have found that if you send the following to valleys the frequency of medals you get will rise.

50 warriors and 20 archers for lvl 1 Valleys

70 warriors and 30 archers for lvl 2 Valleys

90 warriors and 40 archers for lvl 3 Valleys

120 warriors and 80 archers for lvl 4 Valleys*

*(for valley lvl 4, this amount of army won't work everytime) -jackZ

Note: of course it doesn't work everytime, hence why it states raising frequency instead of auto gaining a medal

Although do not forget to scout ahead first, as if the valley is player controlled you may be beaten.

- Is it possible that valleys were given medals to distribute upon being conquered and that now most of them have been conquered by someone those medals are gone? **

NB: The drop rate for medals has been drastically reduced on newer servers, and the guidance given above appears to be related to the experience on players on the older servers.

On newer servers, Rose and other lower ranked medals continue to be available from Valleys at level 1-3, but the drop rate appears to be in the region of a maximum of 2-3%. (In other words, a medal might be acquired, on average, once in each 30-50 attacks.)

Lion Medal

2009-07-10T20:06:00.001-07:00

Details:

Increase a hero's loyalty by 15 when rewarded and is used for hero persuasion.

Medal Rewards:

Where to Obtain:

Lion Medals can be obtained by attacking valleys or cities.

The level of the valley is of minor significance, as any valley (from Level One and up) will drop this medal. Attacking Levels 1-4 Barbarian towns also give this medal.

The Medal can also be obtained by attacking a level 2-4 lake.

Other than by attacking valleys or cities, you can also obtain this medal through a Medal Box reward or purchase, or obtain them via spins on the Wheel of Fortune.

Medal Rewards:

Medal Reward adalah sistem dorongan penting. Negara memberinya sebagai pengahargaan ke siapa yang membuat luar biasa sumbangan ke bangsa. Di samping sebagai pengahargaan diberikan kepada pahlawan, itu bisa juga dipakai pada Bujukan pahlawan saingan.

Where to Obtain:

Attack the Grassland valleys of level 4, 5 and 6. Medal drop rate is about 30% currently.

This needs to be researched more. Honor medals drop more from level 7 valleys than any others.

Attacks on Level 1 - 4 NPC's have also produced this Medal.

The most eficient way I have found to acquire high amounts of this medals, is attacking level 4 NPC cities with 200 ballistas. You'll get plenty of honor medals (courage and lion too), and with no troops loss. attacking level 1-2 NPC with 1600-2000 warriors, also brings good amount, but with less frequency, and a big troop loss.

Indonesian traslation follows:
Serang lembah Padang Rumput rata2 lvl 4, 5 dan 6. Medali turun laju adalah sekitar 30% peluang. Ini perlu diteliti lebih banyak. Medali kehormatan turun lebih banyak dari rata2 7 lembah daripada orang lain yang mana pun. Menyerang di Rata2 lvl 1 - 4 NPC 's juga sudah menghasilkan Medali ini.

Catapult

2009-07-10T19:48:00.001-07:00

General Information:

The Catapult throws a large rock over a long distance. They are most effective
when being used to destroy enemy fortifications. Note there are actually four L10
requirements since Metal Casting requires a level 10 Workshop. Two of the
four L10 requirements (Workshop and Barracks) need a Michelangelo's Script Item
to surpass L9.

Level 1:

Catapult

Prerequisite	Required

History:

The Catapult was one of the earliest forms of artillery, with records indicating that they were used as
early as 400 BC by the Greeks. Catapults could easily launch projectiles 500 to 1000 feet with a large
amount of destructive force. Though heavy, hard to move, and almost useless on the battlefield, it was
a very effective weapon for siege operations.

Battering Ram

2009-07-10T19:47:00.001-07:00

General Information:

Is a heavy support weapon which was used for overcoming an opponent's fortification.

In-game Function

History:

A battering ram is simply a heavy log that several people carry and use to ram through an obstacle.
In castles, defenders attempted to foil the ram by dropping obstacles in front of them, such as large
sacks of sawdust just before it hit the wall, by using grappling hooks to immobilize the log, by
setting the log on fire, or by sallying to attack the ram directly.

Ballista

2009-07-10T19:44:00.001-07:00

General Information

Ballistae have a long shooting range and are effective against other siege weapons.

They are very effective against fortifications as they out-range Archer Towers. Currently,
they can capture Cities on their own without any supporting troops. Balanced against this is
the amount of resources required to build them and the very slow rate of training.

Barbarian/NPC Farming Attacks

This is a Ballista / NPC farming table. All figures are conservative due to the high impact of losing! The
lower level NPC's can supply all the resources a huge army or growing city requires without any expenditure
other than time. Number of carts to carry off the booty will vary with Logisitics Research level. The Hero's
Attack Stat is important as losses can be sustained even at low NPC levels with a poor leader. The NPC will
take about 8 hours to regenerate resources, (NB: defences are much faster) so try for two attacks a day.
At lower levels, do not send any troops other than Ballista and Carts - they are sacrificed for no gain. At L5 and
above the NPC's have Rolling Logs, Defensive Trebuchets, and greater range from higher walls to carry out
counter-battery fire against an attacker, so sacrificial "cannon fodder" should be included in the attack
to soak up the defences while the Ballistae do their work. Check out the article on Range to see what you're up
against. Horse Riding level also has an impact, the higher the quicker the Ballistae close up and the fewer
the losses.

Something else that would be very useful in the following table would be archery technology level--possibly horse riding as well, but definitely archery.

NB: Entries on this table can only be gathered at some expense, but will be updated as and when new data
becomes available. Please feel free to add your own.
The attacking side has a 100+ attack stat Hero, L9 Horse Riding and L10 Archery. Results may be worse with lesser stats
and levels. Single 'stuffing' units to fiddle the archery combat system are not shown, but normally use at least 1S & 1P.
Bear in mind that an experience return of, say 679k, for a successful L8 attack is the equivalent of more than 6 'On
War' items at the shop at 100 cents each. This is a quick way to build up a Hero. It also assists with Medal farming.

Notes:
¹ Recently lvl 5 NPC towns have begun to destroy completely 400 ballista armies. I lost 241 ballistas to a level 4 NPC.
² I lost 650 ballistas against a level 5 NPC. 750 Rolling Logs are added at level 5 NPC.
- I don't know what's the right amount, cause I lost 1050 Ballistas at NPC lvl 5. Please advice.
³ An L10 may not be susceptible to a single combined forces attack wave due to Rally Spot limits.
lvl 6 NPC lvl 9 archery lvl 8 horseback riding tried 2440 ballista 20k Warriors 1s 1p and lost

History:

During the days of the Empire conquests, the ballista proved its value in sieges and battles,
on ships, and on land. It was even used to quell riots. Many archaeological finds of ballistae
date from the time of the Roman Empire; ancient technical manuals and journal accounts have been
used to reconstruct these weapons in modern times.

Animal powered transport is a broad category of the human use of non-human working animals for the
movement of people and goods. Humans would even ride some of the larger animals, use them as pack
animals for carrying goods, or harness them to pull sleds or wheeled vehicles. Animal powered
transporters would save humans from man-powered delivery.

History:

While not a Byzantine invention, heavy cavalry reached a new level of perfection under the
Byzantine Empire. Until the sixth century AD, Byzantium had relied on Teutonic and Hunnish
mercenary cavalry, but under the Emperor Nicephorus II - known as The Pale Death - native heavy
cavalry, the Cataphracts, became the cornerstone of Byzantine warfare. The heaviest cavalry of its
age, they shielded both rider and horse with thick armor. The effectiveness of the Cataphracts
made them the key model for later Europen Knights.

Cavalry

2009-07-10T19:40:00.001-07:00

General Information:

Light-armored units that are fast and flexible, they are ideal for performing raids and plunders.
On the down side they are expensive and slow to recruit.

Combat notes:

Cavalry (and Cataphracts) are very effective against archers. They seem to go after them first.

Cavalry are the only way to clear Abatis from a City's Fortifications.

History:

Cavalry is composed of soldiers trained to fight on horseback. Because of their speed, they were
often used for reconnaissance missions and hit-and-run type attacks on enemy installations and
troops. Although warriors fighting from horseback with a variety of weapons date back to ancient
Egypt, horse-mounted cavalry as we know it today began in the late 1700's. Under Napoleon, the

cavalry became an elite force.

Archer

2009-07-10T19:38:00.000-07:00

General Information:

Archers are good at performing assaults from long distances. They are effective against nearly
all types of infantry.

History:

The bow and arrow, invented in prehistoric times, greatly improved the hunting skills of early
man that allowed him to kill his targets from a distance. The bow was adapted for use in battle
and was first used by Egyptian, Persian, and Assyrian armies as early as 5000 BC. The range gave
by the bow allowed small forces of archers to rout armies of superior numbers of hand-to-hand
weapons. Archers were often used to soften enemy resistance before they would send in their
mounted or skirmish forces.

Uses:

Archers are highly effective when attacking lower level valleys, or valleys with a small amount of infantry. They can kill enemy infantry before the they can get to the archers.

For example, when attacking a level 1-3 valley, or valleys with only foot troops and no archers, you can use 150 archers to attack without taking any casualties.

When attacking valleys that have archers but still have less soldiers than you are sending into battle, there seems to be a 1-1 standing against the archers. If you send 350 archers into a valley that only has 50 warriors, 35 swordsmen, and 33 archers,(a total of 118 soldiers) you will lose 33 archers. However, if there were 350 warriors, 70 soldiers, and 33 archers, while you will still win, the number of casualties will differ greatly.

Swordsman

History:

As a serious military weapon, the sword had to wait for the development of ironworking and the
first true swords date from around 1200 BC. Swords in antiquity and classical times tended to be
relatively short since they were made of bronze and later because they were rarely called upon to
penetrate armor. The classic Roman stabbing sword, the gladius, was only about 2 feet long.
In later years, the gladius gave way to the spatha, which was a long slashing sword of the
barbarians and the forerunner of the great broadswords of medieval Europe.

History:

The growing deployment of knights on the battlefield demanded that foot soldiers develop new means of fighting that would lessen their vulnerability to mounted opponents. One of the best ways to do this was to lengthen the reach of the infantrymen by arming them with long spears, known as pikes. Are particularly effective when used in conjunction with Archers.

Even though these militias made up of warriors were inexpensive, they were no match for an organized army. Warriors were used as a stopgap measure while waiting for better trained and equipped units to be trained or to defend a city that had been cut off from military support. In a crisis these warriors are better then no defence at all.

Worker

2009-07-10T19:30:00.000-07:00

General Information

The worker is intended for the performance logistical transportation. They are able to carry a heavy burden - 200 units each. However the tradeoff is that they possess a very low combat skill. When you want to build a New City, you need 250 of these workers to carry the initial materials to the building site.

Level 1:

Prerequisite	Required
Construction	Lvl 1 Barracks
Food	50
Lumber	150
Iron	10
Costs Time: 50s

Life:	100
Population:	1
Attack:	5
Defence:	10
Load:	200
Food:	2
Speed:	180
Range:	10

History:

The majority of people in all civilizations throughout history have been workers. Whether they were farming, involved in commerce, or industry, their work forms the economic infrastructure that the nation survives on.

Stats

2009-07-09T21:31:00.001-07:00

The stats of your mayor/castellan make a large contibution to the development of your city. Stats are also valuable for attacking hersoes. For each level that the hero gains, 1 point is given to place in either Politics, Attack, or Intelligence. Loyalty is also very important.

Different stats

Politics

As a Mayor:

Politics will give you a 1% increased production for each point of politics

Politics reduces Construction times as well (Base time x 0.995 ^ Politics) x 0.9 ^ Construction level

As an attacking hero:

Politics will help lower opposing loyalty

Attack

As a Mayor:

Attack reduces troop recruitment time. Time after research improvements x 0.995 ^ Attack

Attack will increase your defending troops' success in battle.

As an attacking hero:

Attack increases your Success in attacking others.

Intelligence

As a Mayor:

Intelligence lowers the time it takes you to research something in the Academy. Base time x 0.995 ^ Intelligence

Intelligence makes it harder for your enemy to scout you

As an attacking hero:

Intelligence increases your ability to scout others

Intelligence increases the chance of receiving a medal when attacking a valley of NPC city

Loyalty

If you capture an opponent's hero in a battle, giving that hero gold will persuade him/her to join your forces.
See Loyalty. Giving the Hero medals and more gold will increase loyalty after they have been persuaded. Initially
the new Hero will join your forces with 0 loyalty. See Reward Button section in the Feasting Hall.

Salary

This is simply ( 20 x Hero's Level ) gold per hour

Hero Formulae

These following formulae are useful for working out what your hero will do:

Production: Base production x (Mayor Politics + 1) / 100

Construction: (Base time x 0.995 ^ Mayor Politics) x 0.9 ^ Construction level (from accademy)

Unit Training: Time after improvements x 0.995 ^ Mayor Attack

Research: Base time x 0.995 ^ Mayor Intelligence

The last three show diminishing returns, suggesting that a mayor is better to have a good mix than being particularly strong in one aspect.

Or even better is to have a couple of heroes who are strong in each category. The time for research, construction, and training are set when you initially buy it. If you change your mayor after starting unit training, for example, the time needed for the units stays the same. So keep you high politics mayor in place until you go to train, switch to you main attack guy, buy the units, and switch back to your politician. This will allow you to maximize each purchase.

Heroes

2009-07-09T21:29:00.001-07:00

General

In order to recruit a Hero, you must first own both an Inn and a Feasting Hall. Your hero can help with the speed of building, researching, and the production of troops in your barracks. You also need a hero to attack.

Inn

Once you have both, you can go to the Inn and select from the available choices. If these choices aren't preferable, you can click Refresh to consume a Hero Hunting scroll (purchased in shop or won with Aries Amulet) to look for a different selection.

The Interface will look roughly like this:

Refresh
Hero	Level	Politics	Attack	Intelligence	Loyalty	Employment Fee	Action
Rodney	2	41	36	21	70	2000	Recruit
Linda	10	56	27	45	70	10000	Recruit

Costs of owning a Hero

S=L*20

Where as S is salary, and L is the level of the hero As you can see, Employment fees are directly related to the level of the hero. This is a one time fee for recruitment. After that you must pay a salary. The salary is also related to the level of the hero with a 1:20 ratio. Rodney would have a salary of 40 and Linda, 200. This salary, like with all other resources, are paid out over the course of an hour and are visible as a decrease in Net Income.

Feasting Hall

At the Feasting Hall you can manage your hero's attributes and duties.

Recruit	Appoint Mayor
Hero	Level	Politics	Attack	Intelligence	Loyalty	Status	Recall	Action
Rodney	2	41	36	21	70	Idle	Recall	View
Linda	10	56	27	45	70	Mayor	Recall	View

As you can see you have a Similar interface as the Inn with a few new buttons. -Recruit will send you back to the Inn's Interface.

-Appoint Mayor will open the Appointment screen where you select which hero will be Mayor of your town. In this case, you can see Linda is the Mayor via the Status. The Mayor may not be used to lead attacks on others, only Idle heros may. However Mayors provide Bonuses to Production of resources, Troop Recruitment, and Research Time. More on this can be found at Stats

- Recall will bring a hero who is at a different place (such as a valley) back to town.

- View brings up the hero interface where you can distribute points to upgrade heroes after you level them. The higher the level a Hero is, the more experience is required for the next level and the more drag on player finances. There is a little green plus sign next to the Hero's name which can be used to apply Hero improvement items.

- if you have captured a Hero as a result of a battle they will appear here with Loyalty level 0. This will only happen if your Feasting Hall level is higher than your current Hero total.You can Persuade captured Heroes to join you with Gold equivalent to a Hiring Fee (level * 1,000) or Release them if they have low stats. Anything more than 60% on at least one stat is a reasonable criterion, provided they are low level. High level Heroes with low stats should be Released.

NPC

2009-07-09T21:18:00.000-07:00

NPC stands for Non-Player Character - any non-human player is an NPC. In Evony, NPC's own barbarian towns and unclaimed valleys. NPC's are also known as Barbarian Towns, and they can be attacked at any time without offending hostile alliances. Different levels of NPCs indicate the level of strength within the barbarian's fortress.

NPC's are computer generated cities with great amounts of resources to be plundered. The level NPC you attack determines how many resources it has and also how hard it is to plunder.

Each NPC contains buildings that are all the same as its level, (ie. all level 1 npcs have all level 1 buildings). Each NPC contains an academy, forge, embassy, workshop, feasting hall, stable, inn, rally spot, barracks, relief station, beacon tower, and twenty cottages.

Resource fields consist of one sawmill, ironmine, and quarry, and the rest of the fields are farms.

You can build your own NPC only if you are able to build a new town. To do so, conquer a flat and build a city. Then enter your town hall and select the appropriate city to abandon under the "Cities" tab. Abandoned cities turn into NPC's instantly. The level of NPC depends on the level of conquered flat.

Below is a rough guide of how some of these NPC's can be plundered without any loses. Keep in mind it takes each NPC 8 hours to regenerate its resources, but fortifications regenerate 10% every six minutes (the same six minute mark that your taxes are collected). Equating to a full regeneration of troops every hour.

Looting NPC's with Ballistas

Fewest ballistas used to successfully attack a Barbarian (NPC) Town with no losses (refer to the looting table to determine how many transporters to send):

Level 1

*WARNING*

- 102 Ballistas @ archery 6 Hero ATT 65 resulted in a no loss defeat over 100 rounds. Think I was lucky.

Note that a zero-loss defeat gives your hero half the normal exp, but costs a 5% loyalty drop.

Level 4 [This is regarded as the best "bang for your buck" NPC city as it gives the biggest jump in money.]

- 215+ Ballista (Archery 7) or 160 Ballista (Archery 9+) - >-MUST-   ~26 July 2009 Be careful! I attacked a Lvl 4 NPC w/ 247 ballistae (Archery6, hero attack 73)

Level 5

- 500 Ballista (Archery 8, Horseback Riding no greater than 6) (confirmed in 61 rounds: [1]

- 355 Ballista (Archery 9, Horseback Riding 8, Attack Hero 86)[Battle Report]. Report from User: emulord

- 350 Ballista (Archery 9, Horseback Riding 8, Attack Hero 87)[Battle Report]. Report from User: emulord

Losses taken with 500 ballista: [2] Archery 9, HBR 6, Hero ATT 97, MT-8, Ironworking-8, Medicine-7. And again, with same stats - [3]This also worked with success (500 ballista/no losses) for me a couple of days earlier where my stats would have been the same, if not lower, so this is not consistent.

Losses taken with 510 Ballistae [4]Archery 7, HBR 5, Hero ATT 90, MT 6, Ironworking 7 Medicine 7 Sent 510 Ballistae and 540 Transporters. Lost them all in 52 rounds. Total loss. So don't trust what others are posting. Taking a Level 5 with less than 600-700 Ballistae must be luck, because it sure didn't work for me.

Took L5 with 585 ballista in 55 rounds. [5](cautious due to comments here) Have Arch L9, HBR L8, Mil Trad L8. Hero Att 94. Will repeat with fewer in future.

I have taken NPC L5 with L9/L10 archery, L8/L9 Horse Riding consistantly with attack hero 80+ with 460 ballista for zero loss

Losses taken with 600 ballista: [6] Archery 8, HBR 9, Hero ATT 98

Losses(30-50) taken with 550~680 Ballistae,Archery L9 HR6, with both A98 Hero and A30 Poli. Hero no loss 1 weak ago almost the same condition. Think they changed it to constant loss taken.

if any one has a winning report of lvl5 npc,please post.i think they have changed so please post the latest report with archery and hbr lvl

Successful attack: 450 Ballista, Hero Atk.80, Archery L10, HBR L9. [Battle Report]. User: Liquidwind 18:54, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Fail: 640 Ballistas, Hero Atk 94, Archer 8, HBR 9. Lost them all in 47 rounds. [Battle Report].

Fail: 768 Ballistas, Hero Atk 98, Archer 8, HBR 9. Lost all in 46 rounds, having killed 78 of the archer towers. Hv 10:56, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

from the above things,i have calculated that you must have lvl9 archery,lvl 9 hbr and atleast a 100attack+ hero.plese confirm this and post it below cause i dont reach this reqirement.''

Level 6+

- You will always take losses because NPC levels 6-10 have defensive trebuchets as fortifications which have ranges of 5000.

wishingriver 2k catapults against level 6 with 112 attack hero lost 96 with 10% loss recovery

[7] I had lvl 10 arch and lvl 8 horse back my hero had 70 attack. Insane amount of losses.

Note: If your level of horseback riding is 7 or 8, you'll loose ballistas in these attacks, because your ballistas move too fast, so they are unable to wipe out the archer towers before they are within their range. Level 6 and below or level 9 and above are your best options up until NPC 5.

Also Note: If the attack skill of the hero is too low you may lose ballista. Use a hero with attack skill of at least 40.

Range

2009-07-09T21:14:00.000-07:00

The Importance of Range

Each unit has a specific unmodified 'base' range which it can attack from. For quick reference, these ranges are:

Infantry
Workers	10
Warriors	20
Swordsmen	30
Pikemen	50
Archers	1200
Horse
Cataphract	80
Cavalry	100

Mechanics/Siege Engines
Battering Ram	600
Ballista	1400
Catapult	1500

City Defences
Traps	5000
Abatis	5000
Archer's Tower	1300
Rolling Logs	1300
Defensive Trebuchets	5000

Battle Mechanics

Battles start at the maximum attack or firing range of the longest ranged participating unit(s). So for example, if there are catapults in a battle, the first round starts at 1500 range, with archers in a battle the first round starts at 1200 range, for a warrior-only battle the first round starts at 20 range, and so on. On round one all units with the longest commencing range will attack, and all other units will close up by their movement speed (adjusted for Horse Riding level). All Battles are made up of rounds which repeat until the victor is decided or the Battle defaults to the defender on 100 rounds, with surviving attackers retreat.

Ranged Attacks

Archery technology raises the range of Archers by 5% per level. If archers have a superior range over their enemy, they get 'free' rounds of shots at an opposing army until it reaches it's own attack range. As an extreme, think of the Russian Cannons and the Light Brigade's Sabers at the battle of Balaclava! Likewise, Wall level gives City Defences increased height and thus longer range. This means that archery technology is the most important technology in open battle, with Wall Level equally important in City defence.
Any higher research level Archers are guaranteed to have more range,so they can decimate enemy units before they can respond. For example, with two 10K archer armies faced off, the higher ranged archers can easily wipe out more than half of the opposition on round one, reducing it to less than 5K archers (Research level differences are why the Rally Point 'Exercise' option is so often wrong in Evony).
Note that Archer's Towers have 100 more base range than Archers. Combined with Wall Level over L5 Archer's Towers become deadly as they get one or more free rounds of shots on attacking archers. Although not yet known for certain, it is possible that archery technology does not increase the range of defending archer's towers, only Wall Level (height).

City Attacks By Siege Engines

Compared to Archers, Ballistae and Catapults have more range than Archer's Towers, and that explains why siege weapons are so effective against towers on low level walls, because their higher range gives them free attacks until they reduce the defences.

Miscellaneous Battle Range Implications

Warriors die easily because every other unit except workers out-ranges them.
Cataphracts lose out to pikemen more than cavalry because they have less range than cavalry - cavalry gets two initial free attacks on them, cataphracts only get one.

Archery Technology

Archery Research boosts shooting range 5% per level. It has not been made known what exactly benefits from this extended shooting range, however probably all troops requiring archery to build, ie Archers, Archer's Towers,(but see above) Ballistae, and Catapults. The Archery Research requirement for a unit determines when it becomes available in Barracks for training. The 'Base' figures for range are a somewhat misleading as the 'Boost' range is what each unit will start with, eg a catapult can only ever have 2250 range, no more, no less. The research levels are as follows:

Unit	Requirement	Base Equivalent (L0)	Research Boost @ 5%/Level
Archers	1	1200	1260
Archer's Towers	3	1300	1495
Ballista	6	1400	1820
Catapults	10	1500	2250

If your archery level is the maximum at L10, and an opponent has the minimum L6 for Ballistae, then your archers will have 1800 range, and the opponent's ballista 1820. So it is impossible for Archers to ever outrange Ballistae. It is impossible for anything to outrange Catapults as they require L10. Likewise, it is impossible to increase Catapult range by research as it's already maxed out.

Level	Ballista	Archer	Archers Towers
6	1820	1560	1560
7	1890	1620	1625
8	1960	1680	1690
9	2030	1740	1755
10	2100	1800	1820

Transport

2009-07-09T21:13:00.001-07:00

Select Armies Select the soldiers you will be sending to transport goods

- Max Selects all soldiers including Scouts

- Clear Clears your selection

- Apply War Ensign Increases Rally Spot army limits by 25%, requires item (Not required for Transport)

Mission Requirements The minimum amount of food required to send on a transport mission to feed your army and the amount of resources your army is able to carry

Target Coordinates for the Transport mission

Mission The Mission type. Can be either Attack, Scout, reinforce or Transport

Hero Not required on a Transport Mission

Camp Time Time to stay in the Destination before returning.

Resources Resources to send with the Transport. Send an equal amount of food as per the Mission Requirements for the Transport Mission.

Estimated time based on the above settings Estimated arrival time to the destination

Comments

Scouts are a very quick way to transfer resources. 10 scouts can transfer 55 resources in 1/10th the time it takes for other comparable units.
It will take the same amount of time to return as it will to deliver. There is no increase in time similar to an Attack return.
Add the amount of food first and then the resources. This way you won't accidentally forget and starve your troops and you will ensure you have the maximum number of resources you can send with the group
Troops make excellent transporters before obtaining a Transporter, although they are much slower than scouts

Reinforce

2009-07-09T21:12:00.001-07:00

Reinforcing moves your troops from one town to another. This can be useful for defense or just to reallocate troops to a different town.

You can reinforce your allies towns by having them check the "Allows troops of allied members to garrison your current city" box in the Embassy (Only level 1 needed).

NOTE: Troops will use food of whatever city you put them up. Make sure you don't exceed your production in food.

Defending

2009-07-09T21:10:00.000-07:00

There are two ways to defend, either with your castle walls and fortifications or with your army.

To defend with your walls is the default. This allows you to keep your army safe and sound until you log in again. Of course if your city is overrun completely, your army and any hero's that reside there will be gone.

To defend with your army, go to the Rally Spot and select the checkbox to Open the Gates. This allows your army to run out the gate and attack as soon as your Beacon Tower spots the approaching army.

Attacking

2009-07-09T21:07:00.000-07:00

Attacking is a way to occupy a territory, gain additional resources by pillaging or eliminating a hostile army.

Attacking Basics

There are two different ways to perform an attack.

click the Map button to open the world map
launch the attack from your Rally Spot

Map Button

Clicking the Map button will give an overview of the province you are in and your neighbors. To attack, click on any tile in the map view to gain details of the area. Displayed is some key information that is vital to a successful attack.

Coordinates The location in X,Y of the tile

Owner The current owner of the tile

Type and Level Type of tile resource and the level of the tile

Scouting

2009-07-09T21:03:00.000-07:00

Scouting Basics

Scouting success and the detail of information you get from scouting missions may vary on many factors

* Your Informatics level (Researched in the Academy)
* The amount of Scouts you send
* If you include a Hero in your mission, his Intelligence will count
* If you are spying against a Valley, its level.

The most important factor is researching Informatics. Every level of Informatics increases the chance of success and the level of detail that will be provided on a successful scouting attempt. To successfully scout an area or a city your Informatics level must be equal to or higher than the area being scouted.

Example: To successfully scout a level 3 Grassland you will require a level 3 Informatics or higher.

The number of scouts sent on a scouting expedition also contributes to the success of the mission. For every level of the area being scouted a minimum of 10 scouts should be sent.

Example: For a level 3 Grassland 30 Scouts will provide the most details.

Scouting

In order to scout someone you must have Scouts. When you scout someone you get a report. These reports however dont give you any information at first. Increasing your Informatics research gives you more detailed information. Eventually you start getting data when you scout players. The defenses, The army, The buildings, etc. Once high enough you just get accurate numbers.

However if you aren't high enough yet you occasionally get something that looks like this:

Troops	Amount
Warriors	Swarm
Pikemen	Throng
Archers	Horde

Instead of accurate amounts, you get words instead. These words stand for specific Ranges in troops. These ranges are as follows.

Amount	Range
Few	1 - 24
Pack	25 - 49
Lots	50 - 99
Horde	100 - 249
Throng	250 - 499
Swarm	500 - 999
Zounds	1000-2499
Legion	2500 - 4999
Bulk	5000 - 9999
Giga	>10,000

After scouting you must determine your plan of attack. See Attack

All Credit for ranges goes to Snort in MYTH of Server 10.

Scouting with Hero

You can include a hero in your scouting mission. This will increase the level of detailed information in combination with your informatics. The higher intelligence of the hero, the more he affects the outcome.

Select a hero in the march screen

Warning: If scouts are detected and killed, the hero may be as well!

Honor

2009-07-09T20:51:00.000-07:00

Honor will help to determine your rank within Evony.

Gaining Honor

You can gain honor by successfully attacking or defending locations. Using a small number of forces against a larger enemy can result in higher honor rating (whether or not you are successful).

If you have been attacked (even on Valley), returning the attack on the city that attacked you can result in a rise in Honor (defending what was taken)

Attacking a city or city's valley when they have been declared a hostile alliance to your alliance can result in higher honor if you win the battle.

Losing Honor

You lose honor by continuing to attack a location that you have already defeated. You can also lose honor by attacking a player whose rank is much lower than yours.

Prestige

2009-07-09T20:50:00.001-07:00

Prestige is an in game stat that deals mainly with player rank and alliance rank. The higher prestige you have the higher you rank on your server. If you are in an alliance, your prestige is added, along with the rest of the alliance member's prestige together. The higher this number, the higher your alliance ranks.

Gaining Prestige

Prestige is gained by constructing buildings, and fighting. The higher level building you build, or upgrade, and the higher level area you attack, the more prestige you gain.

Quest: Prestige Building
Prestige	Item	Gold
1,000	National Flag	10,000

16,000		50,000
32,000		60,000
64,000		70,000

Losing Prestige

-You will lose 10% of your prestige for quitting an alliance.

-You will lose prestige by losing battles, the more troops you lose, the more prestige you lose.

Trebuchet

2009-07-06T18:14:00.001-07:00

Formerly Rock Fall

General Information:

Evidently the poetic Chinese 'Rock Fall' translates to actually mean 'Defensive Trebuchet'.
"Constant falling rocks to destroy rival mechanic units", ie siege equipment - namely Ballistas,
Battering Rams and Catapults. Be warned that due to Medieval Technology, these are 'one shot wonders'
that break and have to be rebuilt after every use.

Originally these were a short range defense, so Ballistas and Catapults could easily destroy them, but
the late May 2009 range change now makes them very useful against these mechanics. They are now on a par
with Traps and Abatis - your troops must encounter them before attacking the inner defences. The L10 NPC city
is now a formidable opponent with 1375 of these pounding your army.

Level 1:

Defensive Trebuchets on walls converting attacking Cataphracts and Warriors into Jello.

Rolling Log

2009-07-06T18:13:00.001-07:00

General Information:

Huge lengthy logs roll down to crush enemies to death.

A rather ineffective 'one-shot' weapon. Scout/Cavalry spam attacks can trigger and waste them for little return.

Archer's Towers

2009-07-06T18:11:00.000-07:00

General Information:

Towers built on city walls to provide a vantage point for shooting enemies. Like all Evony defences it is only effective in huge numbers.
Archer's towers are very sturdy and are not easy to destroy as an attacker but don't delude yourself that you are safe.
At Level 5 Walls and below, towers can be blown away by:

Archer on about a 3:1 ratio eg 9,000 Archers will make mincemeat of 3,000 Towers, provided
the Archery Research Levels are similar.
Ballista - they stand-off and reduce Towers at little to no loss to themselves, also depending on Archery levels.
Catapult - they stand-off and reduce Towers at little to no loss to themselves, also depending on Archery levels.

However when walls get to L6 and above the defenders chances dramatically increase as each level extends the archers range.

Abatis

2009-07-06T18:08:00.001-07:00

General Information:

Wooden barricades used to stop Horsemen only. No effect on Infantry units.
Like all Evony defences it is only effective in huge numbers.
If an attacker wants to capture a city, they can only be removed by Cavalry.
Because Cavalry are expensive this is one way to 'capture proof' a city.

Other Information

Obstacle formed of the branches of trees laid in a row, with the tops directed towards the enemy. The trees are usually interlaced or tied with wire. Abatis is used alone or in combination with wire entanglement and other obstacles. Abatisses are used in war to keep the approaching enemy under fire for as long as possible. Most useful against highly mobilized troops such as horse men.

Traps

2009-07-06T18:07:00.001-07:00

General Information:

Defensive tool used to kill invading infantry. Like all Evony defenses it is only effective in huge numbers. The trap is a good defense if your beacon tower gives you an early warning. They are quick and cheap. But the down side to traps are that they are not very effective.

Other Information

Trap is a device set up to be trigged by an unsuspecting victim. As the word "trap" implies, they usually have some form of bait designed to lure the victim towards it. In other cases, however, the trap is set to be trigged when the victim performs an everyday action such as opening the door. Trap is usually made of wood which cheap in price and easily accessed.

1 Trap:

Anti-Trap Methods

The trap is deigned to kill an even number of all infantry, so 100 warriors, 100 swordsmen, and 100 archers were sent to attack, and the wall had 100 traps, then the attackers would loose roughly 33 warriors, swordsmen, and archers.

However, many people have started to send a large number of warriors in one wave, then the rest of the army in the next wave. This causes the traps to only kill warriors, and not the more expensive troops.

It has also been found that if you send 100 warriors at 100 traps, then 100 warriors will die. However if you send 200 warriors then only about 90 warriors will die, 300 and less will die. (This is a rough estimate and the actual numbers could greatly vary.)

Valleys

2009-07-06T17:59:00.000-07:00

Note: I would like to bring this to attention: This is a wiki, it has to be edited and updated by people. I would STRONGLY encourage people to do so. Preferably with a source.(not edited for obvious reasons.)

Valleys

Conquering other players' cities is but one facet of combat. There are also NPC held Valleys randomly placed on the map that provide different benefits depending on the type.

They are as follows:

Type	Resource
Flat	None
Grasslands	Food
Lake	Food
Swamp	Food
Hill	Iron
Desert	Stone
Forest	Lumber

The benefits from hills, swamps, forests, and deserts range from a 5% increase to a 23% increase in resource production.

Level	Bonus
1	5%
2	7%
3	9%
4	11%
5	13%
6	15%
7	17%

10	23%

The benefits from grasslands range from a 3% increase to 12% increase in resource production.

4	17%
5	20%
6	23%
7	26%
8	29%
9	32%
10	35%

The higher the level of the valley, the more troops that reside in it.

Once a valley is conquered, the army can be returned home while the player retains control of, and receives benefits from, the valley. Click on the valley, then click 'Enter'. Once inside the valley screen, click 'Recall' next to the army to return that army to the town it came from.

Each town can only conquer and hold a number of valleys that is equivalent to the level of its town hall. If a valley is attacked and defeated, by an army from a town holding its maximum number of valleys, the army will not conquer the valley. However, the victorious army will automatically return home to its town with plundered resources that match the type of valley (flats can return any resource).

Clicking abandon relinquishes control of the valley to the barbarians to allow it to be conquered again by whomever.

When the server is restarted after daily maintenance, each unoccupied valley will have its level increased by 1, with level 10s becoming level 1s.

Medals

Medals are acquired randomly by attacking valleys. Below is a guideline to the type of medal drops you can expect to receive for successfully attacking a valley.

Note: NPC's City drops are included here for comparison.

Valley Level	Medal	NPC Level	Medal
1	Cross	1	Lion or Courage
2	Cross or Rose or Lion	2
3	Cross or Rose or Lion	3	Courage
