10 interesting ways to annoying your enemy in evony

Here I am discussing some tips to piss off your enemy without actually attacking him in evony online game. These steps will create a psychological pressure on your enemy and make him commit mistakes when you make a real attack on him. In the game of evony online game, the defenders get more advantage than the attacker because when someone attacks you then he has to fight with your wall defense , but if you attack against your enemy then you have to fight against his wall defense. So , its a very good idea if you can lure your enemy to attack you , instead of you attacking him.
1.Hate mails - This is the most common and widely used technique to piss off your enemy in evony online game.Your hate mails make him angry and tempt him to attack you with whatever he has. The greatest benefit of this hate mails are, if he replies to you, then you know he is online and don't do any real attack on him until he goes offline.
2.World chat - Tell abusive words to him and his alliance in world chat. If he replies then you know he is online in the game.
3.Give his coordinates in world chat - write the coordinates of his weakest city and tell everyone ask everyone to attack him. You may declare some award of game resources or gamecents to anyone who successfully finds or attacks him.
4. Attack and take his valleys - This is another very effective way to make him weak, in the game of evony. If you take his valleys then he won't be getting any benefits from the valleys. But don't keep his valley. Conquer and abandon, this will make the valleys regenerate the troops and he will have more trouble getting it back.
5. Farm his npc's very often - If his cities are close to your city then farm his npc's. He won't get his resources from npc's and become weak as he won't have enough food to keep large army, because the only way you can have large army in evony online game is to get lots of food from npc's.
6.Attack him with a very large camp time - Launch an attack using 1 warrior and a very large camp time such as 300 hours. This is make the red bird( attack alert) flashing for 300 hours. He will be annoyed at first then will stop checking (hopefully) the attack alerts. So, when you launch a real attack he won't know it and can not call for reinforcements.
7. Fill up all flats near him with very high level or very low level npc's - this one is lengthy process. If you can fill all nearby flats of his cities with very level 9 NPC ( since level 9 NPC gives same amount of loss as level 10,but  a lot less resource, thanks to "mrballista"for pointing out) or very low level(1,2) npc's , then he won't be able to farm them .
8. Launch attacks on him and recall just before the attack strikes at the last moment - Launch attacks on him with large army. Probably he will call for reinforcements from his alliances. Then recall your troops just before the attack strikes.
9.Scout him hundreds of times with 1 scout - If you scout him many time with just 1 scout ,then he will be getting hundreds of "scouting attempts" reports every day.
10. Attack him with very low amount of troops - If you attack him with a very low amount of troop which can be very easily defeated by him , then that will make him think that you are a noob player and don't have much army to defend. he will be tempted to attack you . Attacking him multiple times with just 1 pike and a hero will make his war report filled with "plunder reports". Do this with low quality hero otherwise your good heroes will be captured by him(If he keeps his gates open).

These are the few tactics I have learned while playing the game for annoying the enemy. Please contribute your own ideas in comments.

Scout guide for evony online game

In evony online game scouts are the fastest among all other types of troops. Scouts are mainly used for spying information from enemy city or valleys , but you can also send them for attacking your enemy.
If you want to scout a valley or enemy city , then go to the map mode , then click on the valley/city that you want to scout. Then click the scout button and in the troop selection window select the amount of scout for scouting mission. Beware , do not send any non-scout troops like archers, warriors etc along with scouts. They will simple not return. You won't get any information about them but all other types of troops will simply get wiped off except the scouts. 

In evony online game, when you are planning to attack a city or valley , you should always scout it first. If your scouts are successful in scouting the enemy, you will get all important information about the enemy like how much army they have , amount of wall defense, the no of building and their level and the amount of research they have done. Based on this scout report you can decide how much troops you need to send to successfully kill the enemy in this game.
The amount of information you get greatly depends on the level of informatics research that you have done and the number of scouts you send. Also some say that level of beacon tower and level of intelligence of the mayor increases the amount of information the scouts can gather in evony online game.
When you send scouts on a scouting mission and the enemy city gates are closed they won't be attacked by the enemy troops or the wall defense like Archer's tower, abatis , rolling logs etc. However, if the enemy city gates are open the scouts of (not any other kind of troops) the enemy city will fight with your scouts and try to kill them. If all your scouts are killed in fight then you won't get any information and your enemy will receive some honor point. So, it is advised that when you scout your enemy try to send as much scouts as possible. Another thing you should always do is to send your a hero along with the scouts. The scouts of the enemy city will always fight under the command of a hero , so they will have advantage over your scouts if you send your scouts without a hero. Also , you can avoid getting scouted by successfully if your create lot of scouts and keep you gates open. This way whenever anyone tries to scout you , their scouts will be killed by your scouts. In the evony online game when you are just out of beginner's protection most people does not have more than 1000 scouts, so if you create a little higher than 1000 scouts then no one will be able to scout you. As the game advances you should increase the amount of scouts and keep your gates open to prevent your enemy successfully scout on you. At very advanced stage , you must create at least 130,000 scouts. This is because , due to limitation of rally point , a player can send a maximum of 100,100 scouts from a level 10 rally point in this game. If he apply "war ensign"( which increases the capacity of sending troops by 25%) the he can send 125,000 scouts . This is the maximum amount of troops anyone can send in evony online game. Now, if you have more than 125,000 scouts in your city then all the enemy scouts will be killed. Of course , if your enemy has lots of scouts then he may send waves of 100,000 scouts repeatedly and will be able to scout your city successfully, but most players do not waste so much amount of resource and time just to scout a city.
You should not scout your neighbors too often as scouting is considered as an offense, a preparation before an actual attack. So , if you scout others very often then they will be offended and stronger player may even scout or attack you back. However, you should scout players with low prestige than you who is from enemy or
neutral alliance.
Some players also use scouts for attacking the enemy. Scouts have very low attack and defense. But due to high speed they can even bypass the archer towers if the enemy gates are open and attack the enemy troops residing in the city. But as they have very low attack you will have to send lots and lots of scouts to successfully kill all the enemy troops. This method the called as "Scout Bomb" technique. However , scout bomb will completely fail if the enemy city gates are closed. In that case scouts will try to attack the wall defense and will be very easily slaughtered.
Scouts are also very useful when you try to send your hero to another city of you. by rule you have to send at least one troop to send along with your hero. So, sending a scout along with the hero makes him reach the destination city(of your own) very fast.
Scouts are also very useful , when you have to send some resource to you allied member very fast. Though scouts can not bear a lot of resource, but due to their great speed they carry the resource and come back to your city very fast. You can again send them to carry some more resource to the friend city. This is extremely useful when the allied member city has no food left to feed their solders. At this situation the food needs to be carried there immediately.

How to get heros in evony

In evony online game the heroes play a major role in the game play. Good heroes can give you major advantage over the opponent players.
In this game heroes have three attributes Politics , intelligence and attack and overall level.Heroes help you gain prestige and honor fast when you set them as mayor
1. A good politics hero gives you extra resource and reduces building time thus quickly builds up prestige than other players.
2. A good intelligence hero reduce the research time and gets more information in scouting other players city or valleys.
3. A good attack hero minimizes the troop building time and win a battle against stronger opponent player.

Heroes gain experience points by attacking cities and running your own city as mayor. When he gains a certain amount of experience point to level up you can upgrade him to next level and he gains an attribute point for each level up. This attribute point can be added to his politics or intelligence or attack. So , in essence each level upgrade of a hero improves his one of the three attributes in evony online game. Now , the catch is , as the hero levels up the experience point needed to reach the next level increases. For example ,
A level 5 hero will need 2500 experience points to move to level 6
A level 6 hero will need 3600 experience points to move to level 7

So , it is evident that a low level hero is more easier to upgrade than a high level hero . This is the key factor of choosing hero from the Inn.

In evony online game, the Inn is the primary source of the heroes you can recruit. The of hero comes to visit the inn is equal to the level of the inn.Also the level of heroes increases with the increase of level of Inn. You have to spend more gold to higher level heroes. But remember , higher level heroes does not always mean higher attributes.
So, recruit those heroes who have low levels and high attributes, preferably level 1 heroes with more than 65 in any of the attributes Also remember recruiting higher level heroes needs more gold and they will consume more gold as salary every hour. So, recruiting higher heroes may punch a big hole in your gold reserve.
New heroes comes to the Inn every hour in this game, so you have to check the Inn regularity. Some people create a level 1 Inn and repeatedly destroy and rebuild it. So every time you rebuild it you get a completely new hero. This process will halt all other building upgrades. Some people recruits heroes and dismiss them repeatedly. This process wastes a lot of gold.
Another way of getting new heroes in the Inn is to click the "refresh" button in the inn. It will consume a "Hero Hunting" Item from your chest(only if you have that item) and refresh the Inn immediately. Unfortunately, you get limited number of "Hero Hunting", so this process can not be used many times.

Another way of getting heroes is by conquering valleys or cities. Whenever you conquer a valley or an enemy city you will be able to capture the hero who was defending it. If you have empty slot in your feasting Hall( like your feasting hall is level 5 and you had 4 heroes there before conquering the valley) the captured hero will be placed in your feasting hall and he will be shown as "captive" with loyalty as 0. Now , to recruit the captured hero you have to click "Persuade" and award him gold or medals. Medals are required for promotion of your rank, so it is not very good idea to recruit heroes using medals, unless you have a lot of excess medals. So you have to recruit them by spending gold.  Again , from my experience captured heroes from valleys are not very good ones (that's why they got defeated under your attack). This process works great for enemy cities. If you capture a city from a good player it is likely that he will have a good hero under his possession and worked a lot to upgrade the hero. So, when you capture the hero you will get all the benefits of that players hard work.

How to level up your heros in evony online game

In Evony online game the the higher attributes your heroes have the more advantage you have in the gameplay.
thus it is extremely useful to know how to level up your heroes quickly. to level up your heroes you have to add experience points to your heroes. When your hero get a certain amount of experience you can go to feasting hall and click "view" on that hero and click "upgrade". Each upgrade gives one attribute point which you can add to his politics , attack or intelligence.

Now there are two ways to add experience point to a hero.
1. Setting him as the mayor of your city. When you set a hero as mayor he gains experience point automatically. So, your high politics hero(when set as mayor) gains experience without much of your effort.
2. For attack hero and intelligence heroes you have to gain experience by attacking other player cities or NPC's (barbarian city). Attacking player cities does have some "side effect" that they may attack you back or you don't have too many enemy cities around.
Thus , it's best practice that you attack NPC's again and again. NPC's (non player city or barbarian city) are system generated city. When you attack and plunder NPC's you get a very good amount of resource(mainly food) and good lot of experience points for your hero. After you plunder an NPC it start regeneration of the resource and regenerate to it's full resource after 8 hours( fortification comes back after 1 hour). So , you can attack the same NPC every 8 hour and gain lot of resource and experience points for your hero.
