A Crippled City has 0 Population, 0 Loyalty, and less then 100 Public Grievances

A Destroyed City has 0 Population, 0 Loyalty, and 100 Public Grievances

I will explain how to fully restore both types of cities quickly and with a minimum of help from other players. Of course a little luck with the Amulet is always good. Also, a crippled city may be one that you have just captured and there for has 0 Public Grievances.

What you need:

• For a crippled city:      Gold
• For a Destroyed city:  Food
• Any other resource you can sell

Note:   If you have a Speech Text and don’t mind using it, you can skip this outline and use it to restore both types of cities immediately.

1. Reduce ALL production rates to 0% to prevent any further Public Grievances from over working you population
2. Set the tax rate to the percentage you want.
   1. Remember, the higher the tax rate in the city is, the lower its loyalty will be, and the less population you will be able to have in the city.
3. Check for any wall defenses you can destroy for resources you can sell
4. Sell any resource you don’t need for the restoration of the city
5. Crippled City with 20 or fewer public grievances
   1. Apply Comforting – Prayer every 15 minutes

1. i.      Repeat there are 0 Public Grievances
2. ii.      May repeat until Loyalty + Tax Rate = 100 or more but this is not generally necessary as the loyalty will begin restoring on its own once the public grievances have been  reduced to less then 100 – Tax Rate
3. i.      Use newly restored population to restore production rates being careful to not set them higher than you have population for
4. ii.      I recommend restoring food production first, and then bring the other 3 up as your cities population permits
5. iii.      Can apply Comforting – Population Raising to bring the population up faster but this will require food
6. i.      Repeat until there less than 10 public grievances
7. ii.      If you have insufficient food, you can apply Comforting – Blessing to get food in exchange for gold
8. i.      Repeat there are 0 Public Grievances
9. ii.      May repeat until Loyalty + Tax Rate = 100 or more but this is not generally necessary as the loyalty will begin restoring on its own once the public grievances have been  reduced to less then 100 – Tax Rate
10. i.      Use newly restored population to restore production rates being careful to not set them higher than you have population for
11. ii.      I recommend restoring food production first, and then bring the other 3 up as your cities population permits
12. iii.      Can apply Comforting – Population Raising to bring the population up faster but this will require food
13. i.      Repeat until there are 10 Public Grievances
14. i.      May repeat until Loyalty + Tax Rate = 100 or more but this is not generally necessary as the loyalty will begin restoring on its own once the public grievances have been  reduced to less then 100 – Tax Rate
15. i.      Use newly restored population to restore production rates being careful to not set them higher than you have population for
16. ii.      I recommend restoring food production first, and then bring the other 3 up as your cities population permits
17. iii.      Can apply Comforting – Population Raising to bring the population up faster but this will require food

1. 1. As the loyalty restores, so will the population

1. 1. Estimated time to completion: 1 hour
2. Crippled City with more than 20 public grievances
   1. Apply Comforting – Disaster Relief every 15 minutes

1. 1. Apply Comforting – Prayer every 15 minutes

1. 1. As the loyalty restores, so will the population

1. 1. Estimated time to completion: 1 hour to 2 hours
2. Destroyed City
   1. Apply Comforting – Disaster Relief every 15 minutes

1. 1. Apply Comforting – Prayer 2 times

1. 1. As the loyalty restores, so will the population

1. 1. Estimated time to completion: 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours
2. Check the rally point for any troops that can be healed
3. Recruit new heroes appointing the one with the best politics to mayor

Your city is now fully restored and ready to resume normal operations.

Farm & Food Cities:

We believe Farm specialized cities to be the 3^rd best type of specific cities. Lumber and Iron cities are more strategic, but Farm cities are more effective than stone cities.

Pro:

- You can support a larger army without having negative food production.

Con:

- If your farms cannot support that large army, then you will have negative food production and no means of getting more food. Since you used up all your resource field slots, you cannot produce other resources to make gold.

Sawmill & Lumber Cities:

We believe Lumber cities to be the 1^st best type of specific cities. This means that this is a better city than food, stone, or iron.

Pro:

- Due to the high prices of lumber in the market, you can usually sell 1 lumber for twice the amount of food. Therefore, you can support a twice as large army as that of a Food city. In addition to that, lumber is a necessity for researching technologies, constructing buildings, training troops, and building fortified units. In essence, lumber is the most important resource in the Evony.

Con:

- You have to wait 30 minutes for resources to transport to your city through the market.

Quarry & Stone Cities:

We believe Stone cities to be the 4^th best type of specific cities. This means that this is the worst city to have and that food, lumber, and iron are all better options.

Pro:

- You can have a huge amount of stone to build fortifications and construct buildings.

Con:

- Stone is the least valuable resource and therefore is fairly worthless. The average trade rate is 100 stone for 1 food, 500 stone for 1 lumber and iron. The prices speak for themselves.

Ironmine & Iron Cities:

We believe Iron cities to be the 2^nd best type of specific cities. It was tough to decide which was more effective – iron or lumber cities. Iron is definitely a good city to have. Why is Iron worse than Lumber? Yes, we are aware that lumber and iron prices are virtually equal, so it boiled down to one thing: Ironmines take longer to build than Sawmills. That is the only reason.

Pro:

- Due to the high prices of iron in the market, you can usually sell 1 iron for twice the amount of food. Therefore, you can support a twice as large army as that of a Food city. In addition to that, iron is a necessity for researching technologies, constructing buildings, training troops, and building fortified units. Iron is equal in prices to that of lumber.

Con:

- You have to wait 30 minutes for resources to transport to your city through the market.

What would 75,000 battering rams do? I’d love to see my enemy’s face!

So..what would happen if you had an unreal amount of a powerful unit? Would you completely dominate the game?

The simple answer is – no.

The battles in Evony are in a circle of sorts. Different units are very effective against other certain units, fairly powerful against other units, and terrible versus others.

Let’s give an example:

I have 100,000 Cataphracts and you have 100,000 pikemen.

Well, just because Cataphracts are powerful that doesn’t mean I would be victorious. Although pikemen are considered the weaker military unit, they would win this battle. Why? Pikemen have an advantage over all cavalry units because of their longer range (spears/pikes extended). The pikemen spears would annihilate the horsemen in seconds.

Hods Realm will be posting a complete guide to Military Tactics later on. Please keep your eyes perked because this is going to be a huge future release.

There are a few forms of communication in this game, all of which are important, when utilized correctly. There are the (currently 4) types of chat, and the two different mail types.

Chat: A live room in which you can talk to other player online. They type of chat lets you know what players you will find there.

Beginners Chat: A free chat that can be used until the player leaves beginners protection. This is useful for asking for help.

World Chat: 0.36$ per text string, you will receive a few free speakers for this, but otherwise can’t chat here. It isn’t worth it anyway. The only two reasons to look here are:

1. You’re looking for an alliance or
2. You’re looking for alliance members

Alliance Chat: Only alliance chat can be seen here (and whispers). Alliance chat is in blue, and does show in world chat. Less spam.

Private Chat: A clear form of chat in which you can have a private discussion with other players. It is vital you learn how to do this early in the game.

Hint: How to whisper. 2 options:

1. Type a backslash (/) then name (/Arumen) (caps don’t matter)
2. Or left click there name and a small menu will appear. Select whisper.

The two forms of mail are private mail and mass message. Mass messaging (as of 5/18) is currently broken, but is supposed to, if you have a high enough rank, send a message to all the alliance members you have.

Private mail is a simple single person mail you send when the other player isn’t online. Good for talking to bullies, since you can get out more words.

Misinformation: a way to keep enemies off you is too lie. But, be careful. The enemy may have ways of telling you’re lying.

BAD LIES:

I have experienced a few of these;

“My cousin is at the top man, he can destroy your whole alliance” Killed this player. There is No player good enough to destroy an alliance with 4 million prestige. Sorry.

“My prestige is double yours” Anyone can check this. Many players don’t realize this. Type / and then the liars name. “/liepants” and then say “Hi” or something like that. Then right click the name and select check to see the number of cities and the prestige of the other player. Be careful whispering something insultive though. They may be two times your size. I was actually double his size.

“If you attack me too much, I will report you to Evony” Bullying isn’t reportable. I wouldn’t do it, but you are allowed to. Now, insulting another player, that’s against the rules.

There isn’t a good written lie in this game. The best way to lie is too kill all of the enemies spies and by having a high level informatics tech. If you do, your enemies will get nothing, and not consider attacking you.

Prestige and honor can be two confusing things. How do you earn them? What do they do? Well, in the simple form, nothing. But they show everything.

Prestige: Gained by building units and buildings, researching techs and killing NPC’s

Honor: Gained by killing more of the enemy than you lose. Must be another player

Wait… I lost Honor but won the fight… Honor is based on the resources that were transferred in the fight. This most often happens when you attack a city with a small amount of traps. Your men may be more valuable than the traps you took down, therefore resulting in a loss of honor.

WHAT! I just lost 11k honor because some jerk with three times my prestige destroyed my army! This isn’t all that unlikely. Honor isn’t really that important: Though fun to earn, it isn’t really a measure of ability so much as a measure of bullying.

Prestige is required for rank advancement and a quest requires prestige. This makes prestige more important than honor. There is no way to cheat for prestige. Some people say you can by building and rebuilding cottages. This wastes 700 goods and gets 1 prestige.  It’s almost as fast to just make warriors. Warriors also generate 1 prestige per make, but it’s not at all cheating. Warriors are a staple to the fighting force. Feel free to build as many as you want, or as few as you want.

This is the player scale for ability:

20k or less prestige: Beginner

21k — 30k prestige: Learner

31k — 40k prestige: Low Player

41k — 50k prestige: Average player

51k — 70k prestige: Advanced player

71k — 100k prestige: Threat Player

101k–200k prestige: Power Player

201k and up prestige: Player Lord

Of course, any of these ranks could be an inactive player, but the further you move up the spectrum, the less likely.

Hint: Judge peoples cities by their prestige, their armies by their honor

How to quickly earn prestige: Be active. There isn’t any way to really speed your prestige. Make sure you are building and researching things in all of your cities. Also, make sure you are always producing troops and wall defenses, and those troops are attacking valleys. Of course, attacking valleys doesn’t result in much prestige, but the rank advancement and medals will help you.

Honor scale: (only applies to 50k prestige and up)

% of honor compared to prestige:

0% honor = hasn’t fought/been fought or lost big

1-9% honor = probably attacked an inactive, or lost honor recently.

10-20% honor = average player

50% honor = fighter

80% honor = champion

100% honor = warlord

150% and up (some over 1000% honor) = war god

But in truth, there are a lot of war gods. Just make sure you don’t get in there way.
