Some more updates:
It takes *exactly* 40 attacks with this method
1st initial) 100k archers (or whatever it takes to get you there)
2nd) 20k warrior / 14k archers.
3rd-40th, 10k warrior attacks
So you actually need a lot less troops than i was originally using.
For the problem with conquest, best thing to do is: Deconstruct abistis. Sell some wood/lumber. do praying +25. , then keep doing this to keep the city uncaptured, until your reinforcements arrive.
I am guessing after the initial two attacks, the level of atk of the other heros doesnt matter much?
If you are on server number 15 or below, don't even bother posting here.
After a week and half of attacks and reading multiple accounts of medal postings, I feel I'm safe in saying the following.
1. There is no doubt that the 'newer' (16 and higher) servers have drastically different medal drops than older servers. There may be hiccups in between here. I've ready that server 13 has some of the same problems, but server 14 does not.
2. There is no doubt that this is intentional. Yes, Evony deliberately runs some of its servers differently than others.
3. On the older servers, the old methods work. On the newer servers, they don't. If you are on server 16 or higher, disregard all posts having to do with newer servers.
4. Warrior loss increases chance of finding a medal. FALSE- On the newer servers it appears that the drops are entirely by chance, anywhere from .5% to 2% chance of a drop, based off an unknown set of standards.
Warrior death DOES increase prestige. I've confirmed this with NPC level 1 and 2 cities. Attack with 60 ballista, plenty of transports, and 500 warriors. The warriors bite it, you earn prestige. If you don't bring the warrior and suffer no losses, no prestige. Makes perfect sense. Oh sure martha, it was a tough battle, none of the warriors made it, poor chaps.
5. High intelligence in a hero increases chances. Anecdotal at best, refer back to the low percentage of drops.
6. Evony is a business. They want you to buy medals. The only GOOD thing about the horrid rate of medal drops is everyone on the new servers is *&@#$%@ equally.
7. DO NOT BOTHER TO Promote yourself any higher than LT. Save the medals for advancement to You should end up with enough in gifts to get to baronet, which will give you three cities. I haven't seen anything hinting that its worth it to go from LT to Capt or Major.
8. Don't expect any help from evony representatives or customer service.
BS the gold farmers
