Hello Evony! I currently play on server 6 and server 109. Meaning I have both a good and a horrible drop rate to play with. I've pretty much mastered both, but this guide is on getting medals on NEW SERVERS.

On 109, I am currently a Earl. Not a dime paid towards promotions, just teleporters and stuff.

I usually get medals from level 7-10 valleys. For me, since 7 and 8 require less archers, I usually head towards those.

Level 7 Valley:
-3,000 Archers

Level 8 Valley:
-7,500 Archers

Level 9 Valley:
-15,000 Archers

Level 10 Valley:
-25,000 Archers

NOTE: Adding layers is optional, but it works better for me without layering.

Now on new servers it seems as if you have to attack a valley a thousand times to get medals. You really do! So what I do is, send out 8 or 9 waves (Depending on feasting hall) and attack the same valley. I space them out 10-30 seconds apart depending on the distance from my city. To do this, you must have a open valley slot in your Town Hall. Once, the first wave hits... Abandon the valley, let the next wave hit, abandon, and so on.
It took me about 4 waves of this to finally get a medal.

Now another method is what my friend uses. Ballitas. He has over 100K so he can spare ALOT. He'll have 0 open slots, and attack a level 10 valley (Different ones) with 11,100 Ballitas, with layers. This drop rate is a little lower than the one you will get with the first method, but works with less deaths on your side.

In conclusion, there are countless ways on getting medals. But for me these two are the best ones I've used for new servers.

Hope this helped!

I'll be adding more medal hunting guides as I find more ways.
