This guide explains how combat works in the MMO browser game Evony. Learn how the barracks, map, rally point, and hero units can help you in battle.
Evony Combat Basics

Combat in Evony is text based, so you don’t actually move physical units around the map. To initiate combat you need to build a rally point, and a barracks. The academy will give you technologies to help you create more advanced fighting units like cavalry, for example. Once your units are built you can click on an area of the map and start your battle. It will take your army time to reach their destination depending upon how far away the combat is taking place on the game map. Let’s look at each area of setting up for combat and see how to start your first war.

On most servers Iron and Wood cost more then any other resource. Occasionally, food is a scarce resource, usually on older servers – that’s just supply and demand however, since NPC farming should get you enough food to last a while. I have decided I want to build a resource city. I am going to make it produce both wood and iron, and to allow the storage in warehouses, but to not produce armies. If armies are needed, they will be housed there from other cities. The idea is to only make it a resources producing town, good for alliances and peeps who want to have their own “farm town”.
Primarily it will be Lumbermills and Ironmines, with 1 each of Farm and Quarry. I make those, simply for the bonuses. Instead of building a ton of barracks, I will build 1, with a ton of Warehouses. This will allow me again to gain the bonus. The barracks will be destroyed after all the bonuses are gained.
We will do away with wall defenses, and instead leave the gates open and a maximum sized embassy (with armies housed within). When we need resources we will simply close the gates, kick the city from the alliance, have our own armies attack, and shift the resources around in the warehouses to make them available for the attacking army. Once the “raid” is complete, we open the gates again, re-work the warehouse percentages, and invite back to the alliance.
Tip 1: For some unknown reason, most people grab level 10 Lakes. In most cases since food is cheaper on most servers, it’s better to grab Hills and Forests.
Tip 2: If you or your alliance – or even group of alliances are being pounded by the top few alliances, band together, and stop selling food. With the lack of food, or even higher food rates, then the enemies who have been attacking you, can starve and lose their armies.

When I first began playing Evony, I was under the impression that I needed a lot of cottages. In fact, having read everything I made a lot of mistakes and assumptions. After playing a couple months however, I learned a thing or two. Let me share the War city information that might help you a bit.
First off, you need 8 cottages only. It’s not SimCity, so don’t build more then that. Don’t build a warehouse. I know, you’re thinking you can preserve supplies if you get attacked, but there are easier ways to do it, and you will want the space later on. At first, you can get by with all level 4 barracks, but later, you will definitely need all level 9’s. Continue reading »
