HH HUnting quickly
and as well
U will be going a lot faster then age 1 and it requires a lot more time
and Npc's they disappear about every week so u must farm normal people
watch nout for colization man i willl be talking about it all day
P.s. Heroes are everything so upgrade your equipment
Look at some of the age2 begginer guides
age2 doesnt have equipment like chest gearing thats waht i am meaning and it also goes with HH
thats not nice -.-
You should try to find someone who will allow you to 'account sit' for them on an older a2 server for a while, so you can become familiar with the differences, rather than jumping right on to a new a2 server and wasting a lot of $$$ and effort only to realize your mistakes later on. Either that, or create a new account on an older server and get familiar that way. The gearing system, stars, NPC wipes, etc. are not tremendously different but enough so you'd probably benefit from some study time before investing any significant amount of effort into a 'real' account you intend to seriously play.
one of the main differences is layering, you need to adjust your layers according to what you are attacking, or whats attacking you also. there is no more 1 troop layers that you're used to in age1.
get on an attack server the moment it opens, spend a little to get some coin and grab yourself some historic hero's. you can still do this without spending but be aware there are people that aggressively hunt these hero's in the first few days of a server.
normal hero's level off at lv100, HH's level off at lv150. hero's have a few new attributes that you will not have seen before.... Leadership and Energy, leadership directly relates to how many troops you can effectively fight with when attacking, so a lv10 hero will only effectively fight with around 10k troops, so sending an attack wave of 100k with a lv10 hero can be counter productive (unless spamming). energy you will find decreases as you send a hero on repeated or prolonged attack runs, hitting someone over and over will eventually deplete your hero's energy. also hero intel relates to troop life in age2 rather than defense in age1.
hero gear stars are new also, gear star sets give extra life to your troops, lv5-8 gives your troops a 50% life bonus, lv9-10 100%, lv11-12 120%, lv13 150%, lv14 200%, lv15 220% (i'm probably wrong with the exact numbers but you see what i mean) your lowest star will dictate your star set, so if you have all gear at lv14 stars and 1 gear at lv8 star you effectively have a lv8 star set. your hero's still have all the attack points from the rest of stars but your troops do not receive the life bonus of a 14 star set.
facebook is also very handy, a lot of people think its a cop out but it can help a lot early server, i suggest making a "dummy" facebook accout to link with your new age2 account.
those are a few points, i think you will find that while age2 is very similar to age1 there are a lot of subtle differences.
check out some guides, areo's is good, satan gives good insight into attacking historic cities.
This is the best advice ..
Age 2 guide's will help but do a littile HomeWork before you jump in ;)
If its a age2 friendly server as NA1 you can't Farm people on guys with HC's "Historical City's "
If you want to advance fast buy cents and get your gear up ASAP .
P's Pres mean's nothing it's easy to gain ..
But if your not going to coin you get some at start look around quest's for the 1's what give more cents then complete it Etc ....
Buy resource's with Cents if needed always keep a littile left over and keep your port's :)
"Edited"
O and FACEBOOK !!! Link your evony account to it fast get your friends to send you things that will help you out both for coiners and people who enjoy the game playing plain ;)
Ranting now Bye ...
Our guide forums do have some great threads but I dont think we have one on making the transition from Age I to Age II. Some nice posts so far and I'm looking forward to seeing more! Great thread!
Thanks for the answers guys, also, can you attack NPC's in adv tele truce, iv heard at the start of a server you can adv port next to the NPC your HH is in and attack it straight away
I don't think adv tele has a cooldown on age2 servers unless it's 1 of the mode aggressive servers .... Anyway dawnseeker is Right have a look in the forums there are some great minds here ~not me lol ~ anyway before I leave pm me or put a visitor message about and q's I will be glad to help in anyway possible :)
I played years ago (server 3), got fed up with it when we merged and quit. I'm back now and playing on an age 2 server. I just found this thread that mentions NPCs disappearing. What's the point of that? This week I've created 2 different NPC5s and the next day they were flats again. How am I supposed to build up an NPC farm? I don't really want to be a jerk and farm my neighbors.
stay on age 1 unless u have serious dollars to spend or are happy being a second or third tier player . because hh hunting at the start is laughable.. ull just get players who spends 1000's porting in and wiping u out.
Age 2 = simple = spend 200usd minium.. or fail miserably.
oh and if that isnt enough of a pee take.. u get these sad mofo's attempting to sell u HH's left right and centre. so if the evony isnt ripping players off enough on age 2 servers u get other players trying to cash in on the bollox.
dont expect to ever be appart of taking Atlantis unless u want to cancel ure morgage repayments to play an online game.
the only plus it has from age 1 is ure troops dont die from lack of food and you can get gifts from fb.
but what good are troops to the non-coiner player on age 2.
Stay on age 1 thats where the true legends of this game started out. and where you can really play it as a non-coiner and compete successfully.
:duh: You don't know what your talking about :rofl:
1. Its not the end of the world if you don't have a HH.
2.Why would you want to take part it taking the big cheese ?
3.I have never ever ever coined on an age2 server and im in a top 8 alliance with well lets say {X} Amount of troops ...
So your littile info/Sneak Peek is bad info ...
Lol ok.. and how many top players have u faced? oh wait u havent, ure just mediocore player. even without hh, if u dont have lvl 10 gear ure gonna get owned by some other massive coiners.
"unless u have serious dollars to spend or are happy being a second or third tier player"
read and re-read this bit.
have u got lvl 10 gear? no. does every player worth fighting on the server have lvl 10 gear. yes!.
therefore ure happy being a mediocre player who cant compete with the topdogs.
which is fine if this was a game like farmville.
before i left na39 i watched a good mate of mine lose around 500k troops to just 100k arch combo wave. and if that was age 1 it wouldnt be possible at that perticular stage of the server. the reason my mate lost was because he didnt have lvl 10 gear and enemy did. with the hero cap and the leadership cap on normal hero's it gives the coiner the advantage . a Massive one.
yes age 2 is good if ure a big spender.
if ure not stick to age 1 is my advice (or dont expect to be big)
My advice:
For your first Age II server, don't spend any money and just practice. There are so many differences and the start is very critical. Age II has been around for a couple of years, so most players have experience with these differences. You need to learn to use facebook for gifts and buffs, how to maximize the 72 hour double build, uprgading gear and farming gems. Combat mechanics are a little different and autohealing is a big difference as well, but those are easy adjustments. More importantly the game is driven by controlling territory through Historic Cities.
Once you have played around and have a feel for the differences, then play the next server seriously. And if you want to spend money, you will know how to use it efficiently.
If You want to compete successfully in the top 500 of the server need to. if u havent spent u wont be up there.
and for me, coming from age 1 servers where i owned continously anything less than being in the top 500 and in the top 50-60 troop wise is a fail for me.
i have high standards what can i say.
so im probably not looking at this properly.
sure age 2 is free if you dont want HH hero's if you want hero gear below lvl 3 or spend 4-8 months farming to get to about lvl 5-6.
oh and u need a lvl 80 -100 normal hero to send semi decent attack.
and once you get round to that point, you will never be able to compete because the coiners have gained huge leaps in troop counts due to there super HH's. oh and you hero's attack value (because you dont buy) wont even cut it when it comes to fighting.
not that troop counts matter anymore thanks to leadership and gear lvl's its pretty much made anyone who isnt spending easy pickings to the coiners.
so to sum up dont spend and you literally waiting for someone who does spend to come and farm you. and theres not really much you can personally do about it. since the skill has been taken away from this game.
(which btw this is you ^^^)
Age 1 sure you could coin there. but it didnt give you such a massive leap and make it near on impossible to catch you. like age 2 does.
I tried age 2 its confusing as heck and I would just stick to age 1!
