Evony Farming – Layers for Level 10 NPC Farming with Attack Heroes level 140+

Saturday, March 15, 2014Thursday, August 13, 2015 Evony Hookups

Every Evony player should know by now that all Evony heroes with at least 220-240 points in the Attack attribute (depending on said hero's Intelligence attribute points) to start being able to successfully farm/attack level 10 NPCs WITHOUT scouting them first – while still having less than 6-7k archer losses – no matter the level of the defending level 10 NPC's mayor.

* Layers – The word "Layers" or "Layer", in regard to Evony discussion, refers to the exact/specific troop types and troop amounts sent in an attack. Another popular term for "Layer" that some people use in Evony is "Rainbow" as in, "What type of attack rainbow did you use when attacking that level 10 NPC?"

However, many Evony players do not know that there are many different "Farming Layers" to use at different times in order to better your results (which is ALWAYS less archer losses when farming Level 10 NPCs in Evony for food and other resources).

Some tricky things about farming level 10 NPCs in Evony are that some level 10 NPC farming layers work better than others when farming depending on your hero's intelligence attribute (apparently), plus some layers stop working as well as they once did when your hero's attack attribute goes beyond 300. Just like some layers work better for heroes beyond 300 attack but not before, and some layers only work well for heroes beyond 700. You just have to mess around with them!

Layers found to work well with Heroes above 220 Attack, and some for 350+ Heroes:

Hero Level	Worker	Warrior	Scout	Pikes	Swords	Archer	Trans
250-350	2000	2000	3000			91000	2000
230-340	1	1	4996	1	1	93000	2000
300-350	1000	1000	3000	1000	1000	91000	2000
300+	3000		7000			88000	2000
350+		6000	300	500	500	88000	2000
350+		5000	3000			90000	2000

Okay.. so having strong and awesome Evony heroes is good and all.. but what do you do before your hero is strong enough to farm level 10 NPCs without losing over 7k Archers?? Well, you can keep being an Evony Uber-Noob by farming lvl 5 NPCs for 90k exp, you can step your Not-So-Noob-Level up a notch by doing some "Warrior Bombs" on lvl 6-8 NPCs with 50-100k Warriors for 220-700k experience, OR..

Just add some Ballista to the above attack layers, subtracting the same amount of archers, and use a hero with at least 140 attack – Only loses 4-7k Arch, just like the big boys! Evony Noob-Level no longer in question… 😉

Here's some "ULTIMATE Evony Level 10 Farming Layers" that work well with Heroes that are below 220 Attack. Heroes below 140-170 attack will need less Archers and More Cow Bell Ballista!!

Hero Level	Worker	Warrior	Scout	Pikes	Swords	Archer	Ballista	Trans
140-170		6000				77000	15000	2000
170-220		3000	3000	500	500	87800	3200	2000
170-220	1000	2000	3000	250	250	88000	3500	2000
200-230			1000	1000	1000	92000	2000	2000

Evony References – Mayor Politics Level for Instant Build Wall Fortifications

Saturday, March 15, 2014Thursday, August 13, 2015 Evony Hookups

In Evony, just like troops, there are instant build fortifications with heroes that have a high politics level.

Yes, it’s insane!

Having insta-Traps and/or insta-Abatis is great for defense. Having insta-Trebuchet is nice for dropping honor and leveling heroes..

Here are the politics levels required with and without Wealth of Nations to instantly build wall fortifications.

Evony References – Mayor Politics Level for Instant Build Wall Fortifications

Instant Fortification Builds by Hero Politics

Instant Fortification Build Hero Level	With Wealth of Nations	Without Wealth of Nations
Traps	486	607
Abatis	596	745
Archer Towers	661	826
Rolling Logs	772	965
Trebuchets	853	1066

Evony Tip – Espionage: Spying, Everyone’s Doing it.

Saturday, March 15, 2014Thursday, August 13, 2015 Evony Hookups

If you're in a top 20 Evony alliance then chances are your alliance is being spied on by someone, or perhaps it is your Evony alliance doing the spying on some other unwitting alliance. Either way, it's happening – you may as well know what to do about it.

Evony spies come in to alliances for all sorts of reasons. Some times an Evony spy may be spying on your alliance from a blue allied alliance just to "keep tabs" on your alliance so he can report back to his/her real Evony alliance leaders and let them know what kind of strengths their allies really have. However, generally an Evony spy is in your alliance to gather information that could be used maliciously.

Here's a list of things that are commonly recorded and passed along by even the most mediocre Evony spies:

Evony Alliance Member City Coordinates
Evony Alliance Members Low on Troops
Evony Alliance Members with Lots of Unprotected Resources
Times of Planned Attacks on Hostile Evony Alliances
News Regarding Friendly Evony Alliances
Group Mails

Also, here's a list of things spies more skilled in the Art of Evony Espionage will take note of:

Which Evony Alliance Members' Cities are Strong/Weak
Which Evony Alliance Members are Strong/Skilled
Timezones and Sleeping/Work Schedules of Important/Strong Evony Alliance Members
High Level Evony Hero Locations
Evony Hero/City Transferring (For Stealing)

So what can you do in order to avoid being the victim of Evony Espionage? Evony Counter-Intelligence of course! First of all, any Evony Alliance looking to be elite needs to have a strict recruiting regime. No taking in just any ol' passer-by, you have to set requirements, minimums, and most importantly – Do Evony background checks! New recruits should be scrutinized no matter how much you may be wanting new or strong players in your Evony alliance – looks are often deceiving.

Here are some things you can do to improve Alliance Security and hinder Evony Espionage from doing much damage at all to your Evony Alliance:

For ANY and ALL Important Evony Alliance Matters Use an External Group Chat method such as Skype, Ventrilo, AIM, Y!Messenger, etc..
Have Different Tiers of Chat Rooms/Areas for Hosts Only, Presbyters and Hosts, Officers and Above, and then one for the Entire Evony Alliance including Members.
Remind Evony Alliance Members to NOT give out their Coordinates, Hero Locations, or Schedules in Evony Alliance Chat.
Remind Evony Alliance Members to NOT say "Goodbye" or anything else that would let spies know they are going offline, or away from Evony.
Hosts should NOT ever use Group Mails to Relay Sensitive Information to the Evony Alliance.

Furthermore, here are some things you can do as Alliance Leaders as well as Members to disrupt the flow of important information out of your Evony Alliance, as long as everyone that Matters is informed of what is really going on:

Send False Information throughout Evony Alliance Chat all the time, for example: Incorrect Troop/Resource Counts, Falsely Say you are Going Offline or other things Regarding Schedule, Falsely Report the Target of a Certain City then Attack a Different city, etc..
Send Fake Group Mails to Suspected Spies and see if the Information is Passed out of the Evony Alliance.
Hosts should Keep a Watch on the External Chat Area for the entire Evony Alliance and compare what Topics are being discussed in what Areas by which Members to determine if they have High Position Spy, or just a Member Position Spy.
All New Applicant to the Evony Alliance should be Reviewed by Hosts, as well as Presbyters and even Officers – if the decision can not be made by Officers and Above, the New Applicant should not be approved unless a few Very Trusted Members can speak on his/her behalf.

So there you have it – some simple steps to help keep your Evony Alliance from succumbing to Evony Espionage. At first it will take some time to get all of the Trusted Alliance Members on the same page as the Leaders when it comes to dealing with Spies, but eventually you will have a good grasp of who in your Evony Alliance is trustworthy and who is not, as well as How To tell when New Members are Spies right from the start.

Remember, a Smaller Evony Alliance of Skilled and Trustworthy Members can be much more Effective than a larger Evony Alliance riddled with Spies and members just looking for a Free Ride. Happy Farming!
