Evony Age 2 strategy, guides, wiki and browser game tips
Offensive Players: For those that play the game to crush enemies, like the bear, or make strategic assaults, like the hawk.
Casual Offensive Players: For those that farm npc’s once a day at most.
Don’t even bother. Seriously. Offensive armies simply require more food and resources than defensive ones. If you are a casual player, I recommend playing the game defensively. If you have little time to play, but still want to attack, then I recommend you use the casual defensive player setup listed above, and attack only very weak targets with archers. Realistically, you won’t be able to hit much else.
Active Offensive Players: For those that farm npc’s 2 times a day.
Troops:
Archers: 50,000-100,000 per town
Ballistas: Just enough to farm npc’s
Cataphracts: 0
Catapults: 100 per town (for layering)
Cavalry: 100,000-150,000
Pikes: 1,000 per town (for layering)
Transports: 10,000, plus enough to farm npc’s
Rams: 100 per town (for layering)
Scouts: 100,000+ per town
Swords: 1,000 per town (for layering)
Warriors: 200,000, plus 1,000 per town (for layering)
Workers: 250 (to make new towns/npc’s)
This is enough for a hawk build, though playing as a bear will be tricky by middle of the server. If you’re a bear, focus on expanding scouts for scout bombs. If you’re a hawk, make additional scouts as needed for scouting purposes and keep your cavalry levels high. Be sure to always have a comfortable margin to rebuild lost troops. The 10,000 transports are for hitting big towns. They’ll allow you to take almost 200 million resources a hit.
Hardcore Offensive Players: For those that farm npc’s 3 or more times a day.
Troops:
Archers: 100,000+ per town
Ballistas: Just enough to farm npc’s
Cataphracts: 0
Catapults: 100 per town (for layering)
Cavalry: 200,000-250,000
Pikes: 1,000 per town (for layering)
Transports: 20,000+, plus enough to farm npc’s
Rams: 100 per town (for layering)
Scouts: 200,000+ per town
Swords: 1,000 per town (for layering)
Warriors: 500,000, plus 1,000 per town (for layering)
Workers: 250 (to make new towns/npc’s)
You should be able to crush most players easily with this build, provided you don’t attack foolishly. For bears, you may find you don’t need the cavalry as much, and focus on massing scouts for scout bombs. Hawks may not require as many scouts – only enough to scout tough enemies. The transports should wipe out resources of almost any town you come across before their allies can reinforce them.
Your Hardcore set up would last 30 minutes or less in SS25. I suggest you consider the following set up for hardcore players!
Workers = 50,000+
Warriors = 550,000+
Pike = 250,000 (ensures they can’t over run you with Cav or Cats)
Sword = 500,000 – 600,00+ (ensures they can’t scout bomb your Archers)
Archers = 2,000,000+ (more than most people have in several cities)
Cavlary = 600,000 – 800,000+
Cataphracts = 450,000+
Rams = 15,000 – 50,000+ (for layering in defense and offense)
Catapults = 15,000 – 50,000+ (for layering in defense and offense)
Now this is not for people who do not farm lvl 10 farms (20 per day or more per city) and lvl 5′s (20-30 per city 3 times a day). I have a spread sheet and can get 9 cities out in under 20 minutes this way. So I am not tied down to a Computer. I make 3 runs lvl 5′s each morning between 6-8 am each morning, and 6-8 lvl 10′s per town each morning. Then go to work out for 1 1/2 hrs. Go check on my 3 businesses. Log back in after lunch. Do the same farming runs again. Check to see if anyone bothered me. Most the time nothing. Then go take a napp, get up eat, run my errands or just hang out or go fishing or what ever until 9 pm, then make my farm runs and take a look at who my alliance is at war with and potential targets. Then hit them, port close to them, open up flats next to them or in the middle of groups of them. Then the fun begins. To bed by Midnight (sometimes a little latter if the war takes longer, lol). I have 2 days a week I alsso fight wars during the day.
Come look me up. Make sure you bring lots of resources, that way I won’t take your city and NPC it. Let it rebuild and do it to it again. LOL
Keep in mind that’s 1 city out of 9. All I here on WC is damn Gremlin hit us again or me again. Took evreything!
Forgot to add Scouts
Scouts = 1,000,000 – 3,000,000+ (just depends whats on hand)
Souts are an excellent cloaking device to keep the enemy blind with gates open and full wall defenses.
Hey, Gremlin…are you a complete retard?! You CAN’T NPC other players in Age 2 and you CAN’T set up fars…the daily security fix deletes them every single night.
This limits the Army sizes and overall attack strength while also allowing diversity amongst where you can place your cities by leaving open many flats that would otherwise be nothing more than another NPC city marring the landscape.
While I’m not calling you a complete ignoramous, I am stating that Age 2 is a completely different game, and as such, has completely different rules and different strategies.
Therefor, don’t be so quick to judge someone or to brag…
So, go take all your game cents that you’ve bought from your “3 businesses” and shove them right up your pompous ass you prick-faced mother fucking cunt-bag!
You must be cheating and using bot to farm constantly. It would be imposter keep that many troops in one city.
