Basic Battle Tactics for New Players in Evony: A Step-by-Step Guide

Evony is a strategy game that requires careful planning and execution when it comes to battle. Whether you're attacking monsters, participating in rallies, or engaging in Player vs. Player (PvP) combat, understanding the basic battle tactics will help you succeed. This guide outlines a step-by-step sequence of events for new players to follow when preparing for battle.

Step-by-Step Battle Tactics for New Players

  1. Join a Strong Alliance

    Your first priority is to join an active and strong alliance like Enthrallio. Alliances provide you with reinforcements, rally opportunities, and additional resources. Being part of an alliance allows you to participate in rallies against monsters and other players, making it a key part of your battle strategy.

  2. Train a Balanced Army

    Start by building and upgrading your Barracks, Stables, Archer Camp, and Workshop. Train a balanced army consisting of Ground, Mounted, Archers, and Siege units. Each troop type has specific strengths and weaknesses:

    • Ground: Strong against Archers, weak against Mounted
    • Mounted: Strong against Ground, weak against Archers
    • Archers: Strong against Mounted, weak against Ground
    • Siege: Neutral, used for attacking fortified positions

    Having a variety of troops will allow you to adjust your army depending on the type of enemy you're facing.

  3. Upgrade Your Generals

    Your Generals are critical to your success in battle. Assign your best generals to lead your troops, focusing on generals that are strong in either PvP (player battles) or PvE (monster hunting). Make sure to upgrade and equip them with gear to enhance their abilities. Use generals with buffs like Double Drop for monster hunting or those with defense bonuses for PvP combat.

  4. Research Military Technologies

    Research in the Academy is essential for improving the strength of your army. Focus on upgrading military technologies such as Troop Attack, Defense, HP, and March Speed. This will give your troops an edge in battle by making them more effective in both offense and defense.

  5. Scout Your Enemy Before Attacking

    Before launching any attack, use your Scouting ability to gather information about your enemy's city or army. Scouting will reveal the enemy's troop composition, defenses, and resource levels. This allows you to adjust your strategy by sending the most effective troops to counter their forces. If you spot an overwhelming defense, consider skipping the attack or rallying with your alliance for stronger reinforcements.

  6. Form a Balanced Attack March

    When sending your troops into battle, form a balanced march by selecting a variety of troop types. Mixing different tiers and troop types (Ground, Mounted, Archers, Siege) ensures that you have enough versatility to counter enemy defenses. For example:

    • If the enemy has many Mounted troops, include more Archers in your march.
    • If the enemy has lots of Archers, focus on sending Ground troops.

    For monster hunts, it's best to use Mounted troops as they are most effective against monsters.

  7. Join Rallies and Attack Together

    Whenever possible, join Rallies with your alliance. Rallies are coordinated attacks where multiple players send troops to attack a single target. This is especially useful in defeating powerful monsters and strong enemy cities. Attacking together with your alliance increases your chances of success and reduces the number of wounded or lost troops.

  8. Use a Truce Agreement (Bubble) for Defense

    If you’re not ready for PvP or need to protect your city, activate a Truce Agreement (Bubble). This prevents other players from attacking your city for a set period. It’s especially important to use a bubble during Killing Events (KE) when many players are actively seeking targets.

  9. Heal Your Wounded Troops

    After battles, some of your troops will be wounded. Make sure to prioritize healing them in the Hospital so you can quickly recover and continue fighting. Upgrading your hospital increases the number of troops you can heal and reduces healing costs.

  10. Upgrade Your City Defenses

    Don’t forget about your Walls and Traps. Upgrading your walls and building traps will make it harder for enemies to successfully attack your city. High-level walls and traps can destroy a significant portion of the enemy’s army before they even reach your troops.

Conclusion

Mastering the basics of battle in Evony is key to becoming a strong player. By following this step-by-step guide—joining a strong alliance, training a balanced army, upgrading your generals, scouting your enemies, and joining rallies—you’ll be well on your way to victory. Remember, strategic planning and consistent upgrades are the foundations of success in Evony battles!
