Evony Attacking – Jaq Attack and Dirty Jaq

We know Cav Bombs are a great way to quickly kill archers that are Alone in a city without other defenses and layers accompanying them, and we know that Cav Spams are meant to take away wall fortifications… 

However, If you add small layers of Ranged Attackers to your cavalry attack, you transform the Attack into a Slower, yet more Capable Attack pinpointed at Defeating Mass amounts of Archers that are lacking the proper defense layers – walls and layered troops

Jaq Attacks are different than Cav Bomb, Cav Spam, and Cav/Scout attacks because they have ranged layers included with them, including ballista and/or catapults.

Check out the shot below of a regular Cav/Scout Attack hitting an un-layered city defense.

 

Now, check out the Images below and see what can happen if you leave your ranged troops alone against a Jaq Attack! (BTW, a Dirty Jaq Attack is any Jaq Attack including Cataphracts.)

 

 

 

Evony Attacking – Mech Attack: The Ultimate Attack!

Mech Attacks are most useful when the defending city has alot of Archers, more than you would like to Scout bomb, OR when the Enemy City has ALOT of Layering or mass amounts of Warriors… Pretty much, this layer works well against anything, as long as you time your attacks correctly to throw off your defender if he is online! Downside? You have to be able to build lots of mechs and feed lots of mechs to attack with mechs!

Mech Attacks work best when you combine Ballistas, Catapults, and Rams together along with many Layers. 

Basics:

Ballista – Pult – Ram Ratio should be about:

Ballista /2 = Pult /2 = Ram

Twice as many Pults as Rams, twice as many Ballistas as Pults.

 

Why it Works:

Catapults and Ballistas have extremely Far Range which allows them to attack troops and Wall fortifications long before being attacked themselves.

Layers of Archers, Infantry, and Cavalry in front of the slower ranged Mech Units Hold off enemy troops from getting to your Mech too Fast.

Rams have extremely High Life, 5000, which allows them to protect the Ballistas and Catapults when Layers start dying off.

The Ultimate Mech Attack

 

 

REMEMBER – Mech Attacks can be very costly, so don't send your Mechs to their deaths, Mech Attack wisely!

Evony Tip – Importance of Warehouses

For intermediate level players.

Warehouse

You have most likely heard from everyone that you don’t need any Warehouses and while that may be true for more advanced players it’s not for you intermediate level players. I’m not about to say you need you need to have five plus Warehouses, but only one. This is mainly because maybe for example if you were in an alliance and your alliance went to war with other stronger players you might get attacked. They would also take all your food enabling you to comfort your city. So you need to preserve your food with Warehouses. And sometimes the fact of the mater is that it can be simply to late for your alliance to help you in some situations. So that’s where the Warehouse comes in, but for it to work properly make sure 100% of the storage is at food.

Some of you may be asking about privateering, but not many research it because most do not care to spend the money to research it. So while there are some that have it researched you have a better chance of being attacked by someone with out privateering than someone with privateering. Now if you are on any older server(servers 1-50) that might not be the case. So I would suggest that if you are on one of these servers that you get your Warehouse and research your stock pile to the highest level you can too.

So once you are no longer an intermediate player you can then destroy the Warehouse if you wish.
