Level 14 and 16 Historic City Map - Advanced Guide

Capture Level 12 Historic City - Advanced Guide

These cities provide you with control over a small draft area, 18 x 18 square miles and allow you 4 drafts per day. They are good starting points from which to launch waves at the bigger Historic Cities.

They allow you to launch 125,000 waves (156,250 with war ensign).

Draft Range

19 x 19 Miles

9 miles in any direction

12.7 miles at the furthest point

Defences

Troops

The easiest combination is Warrior / Pikemen / Archer / Cavalry / Rams.

But you can also attack the

Warrior / Swordsmen / Archer / Cavalry / Rams Configuration

Every day there is a random troop combination in the Historic City. The warriors and archers will always be in there. But pikemen and swordsmen alternate. But it can be done fairly easily with swordsmen in it. Because you go for the battering ram combination there will only be the archers as a range unit firing on you. Stay away from trying to take it with any other combo, the losses will be very high.

Warrior 1,120,000

Pikemen / Swordsman 162,666

Archer 42,807

Cavalry / Cataphracts 108,444

Rams / Ballista / Catapult 14,640

Walls

Its best to try to spam out as much walls as possible

Traps 22,000

Abatis 11,000

Archer Towers 6,666

Rolling Logs 6,000

Defensive Trebuchet 5,000

If you camp all your loyalty waves, make sure to send at least 40, or more if you can. After the city is broken and its troops wiped out it varies how many loyalty waves it takes to capture it. Sometimes only 30, but some times over 40. Also make sure you have a city ready to teleport to the historic city if you need extra loyalty waves.

Method 1

Warrior / Pikemen / Archer / Cavalry / Rams Configuration

The easiest method I have come across to take a LV 12 doesn't require high hero attack but only a good number of ballista. You will only lose about 4,000 ballista on the breaker. The Span waves before will eliminate the traps causing them to miss your important troops.

Hero level and attack does not matter for loyalty and spam waves.

Wave 1 to 30 - 2,000 warriors / 2,000 scouts (spam waves)

Wave 31 - 2,000 workers / 3,000 warriors / 120,000 ballista and hero attack of 285 (breaker wave)

Waves 32 and on - 10,000 archers / 20,000 warriors (loyalty waves)

Method 2

Warrior / Pikemen or Swordsmen / Archer / Cavalry / Rams Configuration

If you don't have the ballista and need to use other troops, your losses will depend on your hero attack. Your going to use a mix of archer rainbows and pikemen.

With Hero Attack 200

Launching from a Lv10 city without war ensign

Wave 1 to 30 - 2,000 warriors / 2,000 scouts

Wave 31 - 33 - 100,000 pikemen

Waves 34 - 35 - 100,000 archers

Wave 36 - 42 (7 waves) - 1,000 workers / 1,000 warriors / 1,000 scouts / 1,000 swordsmen / 95,000 archers / 500 cataphracts / 500 cavalry

Waves 43 and on (loyalty waves) - 10,000 archers / 20,000 warriors

With Hero Attack 400

Launching from a Lv12 Historic city without war ensign.

Wave 1 to 30 - 2,000 warriors / 2,000 scouts

Wave 31 - 125,000 pikemen

Waves 32 - 125,000 archers

Wave 33 - 36 (4 waves) - 1,000 workers / 1,000 warriors / 1,000 scouts / 1,000 swordsmen / 95,000 archers / 500 cataphracts / 500 cavalry

Waves 37 and on (loyalty waves) - 10,000 archers / 20,000 warriors

From 400 attack and up, you can decrease you losses by sending 156,000 waves from a Lv 12 if you have war ensign. Also you can send 150k waves from a lv14 historic city or 187,500 with war ensign. The bigger the first pike and archer waves are the less archer rainbows after it will take to finish off the city.

With Hero Attack 800+

Launching from a Lv14 Historic city with war ensign.

This is a two hit break using only archers and pikemen. The waves are sent from a Lv 14 Historic city with war ensign. You will wipe most of the troops in the city with the first two waves leaving only a tiny amount for the 3rd wave to clean up.

You need two historic heroes, around 500 attack + Excalibur 125 + Uprise 207.

You have the option to send the 30 spam waves if you want, but if you need to capture a few different level 12s quickly, this is the quickest method.

You can actually Capture a few in a day.

Wave 1 - 187,500 Pikemen

Wave 2 - 187,500 archers

Wave 3 - 1,000 workers / 1,000 warriors / 1,000 scouts / 1,000 swordsmen / 95,000 archers / 500 cataphracts / 500 cavalry

Waves 4 and on (loyalty waves) - 10,000 archers / 20,000 warriors

With Hero Attack 800+

Launching from a Lv16 Historic city with war ensign.

Wave 1 - 250,000 Pikemen

Wave 2 - 250,000 Archers

Waves 3 and on (loyalty waves) - 10,000 archers / 20,000 warriors

If you launch from a level 16 city you can pretty much break the city losing only the pikemen. You will lose about 7,000 archers in the second wave. This is with level 9 stars minimum.

Avoid Drafting with Troop Exchange - Advanced Guide

Many players have the problem of being drafted from high level HC's (level 14, level 16 or the Atlantis). To avoid getting drafted follow this simple trick 

1) find a player of your alliance who has a city nearby.

2)send your troops to his city and also tell him to reinforce your city(optional).

Reinforced troops can not be drafted both your troops and your friends troops will be safe from drafting. Also if you keep the troops reinforced into nearby city, you can recall them quickly when you want to attack anyone.

Conquering a Level 10 NPC - The Normal Method - Advanced Guide

There are many ways to conquer a level 10 NPC in Evony. This is just another one.

Level 9 Rally Point and level 9 Feasting Hall

Requirements:

* The level 10 NPC must be 1-2 miles away from where you plan to attack from.

* Move all of your troops and food into the city that is 1-2 miles from the level 10 NPC. You will have the food there to ensure that your troops are supported.

Step 2:

* Scout the level 10 NPC for a weak hero. If you have not yet read the guide to guaranteeing a weaker hero.

Step 3:

* Send 100,000 archers – 7,496 warriors – 2,500 pikemen – 2,500 swordsmen – 1 worker – 1 scout – 1 cavalry – 1 cataphract and your strongest hero (125+ attack) to attack the level 10 NPC. Before you send the troops, be sure that you have checked the War Ensign box.

* Immediately after, send 25,000 archers – 10,000 warriors and any hero (100+ attack) to attack the level 10 NPC. Before you send the troops, be sure that you have unchecked the War Ensign box.

* Immediately after, send 25,000 archers – 10,000 warriors and any hero (100+ attack)

Step 4:

* Once your first wave has returned (about 65,000 archers) send 35,000 archers – 10,000 warriors and your strongest hero (125+ attack) to attack the level 10 NPC.

* Immediately after, send 30,000 archers – 10,000 warriors and any hero (100+ attack)

Get 8 mil resource within an hour - Advanced Guide

Attacking valleys is a great way to generate resources, but to get resources you have to attack the valley without conquering it. If you attack a valley with your valley slot full then you wont be able to capture the valley but you will get 300-600k resource from that valley.

Again if you capture a valley and then release it then the valley will regenerate the resource and troops within it. Thus you need two cities near a lvl 10 forest or hill.

1) Send 30k archers, 1 work, 1 war, 1 sc, 1 pike, 1 sword, 1 cav, 1 phract from the first city with valley slot full. As the valley slot is full this attack will not be able to capture the valley but will get the resources. 

You will get 300 K to 600 K lumber or iron from each attack.

2)Send another attack with 1 scout from the other city (with a open city slot) to capture and abandon the valley. This attack will regenerate the Valley immediately with the source and troops.

The big wave will bounce back, but will loot the valley, then when your scout lands it will capture the valley. Immediately abandon the valley.

Repeat the waves in sequence with camp time of 1 min, then with every attack from the first city you will get you 300 K to 600 K resources reach time.
