Instant troop requirements in Evony

In evony it is possible to build troops instantly if the the level of Military Science , Metal casting and most importantly attack of your hero is high enough. You can build troops in 0 seconds based on the attack of your hero, literally.
Below is a table of calculation for , what type of troops you can build instantly at what level of Military Science, Metal Casting , hero attack combination.

Table based on the formula of: (base time)*.9^(technology level)*.995^(hero attack) < 1 to equal 0 seconds, as the game rounds time down.

Evony Instant troops calculation table

In this table the 

• top row MS/MC represents level of Military Science / Metal  Casting . Therefore first column indicates MS/MC at level 0 and second column indicates MS/MC at level 2 and so on.
• The rows indicate different troop/unit types. Below the name of each type of troops  is how long, in seconds, it would require to train without any technology or hero bonuses. Moving farther downward, it is in the order designated in-game, and not solely by base time.
• The coordinating values indicate the level of attack the mayor of the city training troops/units must be to attain instant-train ability. The table specifies every troop/unit, and recognizes any level of technology.

For example ,

If you have a 700 attack hero and Military Science and Metal casting both at level 10 , you can train warriors and workers instantly, as many amount of troops you want because each single unit will be trained in 0 seconds, provided you don't run out of resource or population. If you use Excalibur, you can train pikemen and even swordsmen in no time, having then an attack of 875. As the attack of your hero increases you can start training other units instantly too.

Advantages of instant army

You can build your army with just a single barrack in your city and rest of the space assigned to cottages. Since all the army are built at0 seconds there is no need for keeping multiple barracks, so delete the barracks except keeping only one and build cottages in that space so that you don't run out of population.
In a nutshell if this is the requirement for the attack hero to build instant troops Instant troops:

THIS IS YOUR ATTACK HEROES JOB!:

• Warriors: 432
• Workers: 571
• Scouts: 709
• Pikesmen: 790

Evony Age II hero gear system

Workshop pt 1
Info about "The Workshop" and gear upgrading.
Gear can only be worn by heroes lvl 10 and up.
Heroe Lvl Gear lvl
0-9 no gear
10-19 lvl 1
20-29 lvl 2
30-39 lvl 3
40-49 lvl 4
50-59 lvl 5
60-69 lvl 6
and so on.......I'm sure you get the idea.
Each upgrade to a piece of equipment will downgrade it's star lvl by one (more on that in a bit)


Workshop pt 2
Creating equipment
Workshop lvl determines the lvl of equipment you can create.
Always start with creating the charm and ring first as they have 2 slots on your heroe for only makung one.
Mount Training increases your armies movement speed.
It takes materials, and armour scripts to build the equipment.
Each upgrade enhances the bonus associated with that piece of equipment.

workshop pt 3
Equiping Equipment
When you build a piece of equipment, all heroes have access to it, it is not just one piece for one heroe.
You can specify what that equipment enhances on the heroe for each individual heroe.
Politics, Attack, or Intelligence
You equip the equipment in each individual heroes attribute window. (One click works best)
And if you like you can always change what the equipment is giving a bonus to for every heroe.

workshop pt 4
Star Power
Flawless and Delicate Gems increase Star Power
This part is kind of like gambling, and sometimes really annoying.
I think star power can go to lvl 20....or something like that.
the more gems you use the better chance of the star upgrade working, but be warned if it doesnt work you may be starting all over again.
There is a set lvl each failure will take you back down depending on what lvl you are currently trying to get, but I don't know these values off hand.


workshop pt 5
Star Power
Be warned the higher the lvl you are going to, the higher the fail rate, and the bigger the penalty.
Thankfully Delicate and Flawless Gems are easy to get.

Materials (where to get)
Armour Scripts - Wheel Of fortune, NPC'S, or you can buy in the store.
Materials (iron ore, wood, etc.) - Wheel Of fortune, in-store , from NPC'S.
Gems - Wheel Of fortune, in-store, and NPC'S....lot's from NPC'S
I hope this makes sense to everyone

Get 8 mil resource within an hour

Attacking valleys is a great way to generate resource in Evony . But to get resource you have to attack the valley without conquering the valley. if you attack a valley with your valley slot full then you wont be able to capture the valley but you will get 300-600k resource from that valley.
Again if you capture a valley and then release it then the valley will regenerate the resource and troops within it. Thus you need two cities near a lvl 10 forest or hill.
1) Send 30k archers, 1 work,war,sc,pike,sword,cav,phract from the first city with valley slot full. As the valley slot is full this attack will not be able to capture the valley but well get the resource. you will get 300 K to 600 K lumber or iron from each attack.
2)Send another attack with one scout from the other city (with a open city slot ) to capture and abandon the valley . these attack will regenerate the Valley immediately with the source and troops.

The big wave will bounce back, but will loot the valley, then when your scout lands it will capture the valley.Immediately abandon the valley.
This way, if you go on repeating the waves in sequence with camp time of 1 min, then with every attack from the first city you will get you 300 K to 600 K resorts each time.



Resource lost due to archer loss

the max loss in lvl 10 valley, from
1 hit = 500-1000 archers.
60hits = 30k - 60k archers - that is a loss of 10.5mill - 21million wood and iron. average = 15.75 mill

the mini loss in lvl 10, from
1 hit = 0 archers, 1 cav, 1 sword, 1 pike, 1 phract
60 hits = 0 archers 60 cav, 60 sword, 60 pike, 60 phract - so around 5000 res loss...

the average is 15.75million + 5000 /2 = 7877500
