Thread: Nation medal tips please

  1. #1

    Default Nation medal tips please

    I am on server 132 and have recently been given a top 10 hero by a player that is quitting the server, he is one of four captured heros in my feasting hall and takes 70 nation medals to convert, in total i need around 180.

    I understand that collecting all of these will be a time consuming project and resource expensive process. However, i am not having any luck at all atm.

    I have consulted all the guides i can find and have gleaned as much information as possible, but so much of it is conflicting that i am turning to my own thread to try for some decent answers from you guys.

    I am using several methods to the best of my abilities.
    1. Scouting lvl 10 valleys within 30 miles of my cities and hitting the ones which have combinations of troops that allow me to attack with few or no losses on the hour every hour.
    2. Attacking lvl 7-9 valleys with 100k scouts up to a range of 50 miles from my cities.
    3. Using cap and release on lvl 7-9 valleys with 20-30k archers and 1 of each unit from work to ball.

    Additional: I have been mixing it up with both high intel and high attack hero's. My feasting halls are always full so that when i attack i do not roll for the defending hero first. I think my best chances of nations come from grasslands/hills/forests so i have been mostly hitting these but not exclusively.

    I have not got a problem finding medals, sometimes upwards of 20 in a single day but nations simply are not dropping for me, i have been farming them intensively for 3 weeks, but since applying the 0 upkeep item i have quite literally been pouring all of my time and resources into this quest.

    As you may have guessed i am getting pretty frustrated so i am looking for any tips (backed up by solid evidence, reports etc) on the best way to increase my chances of acquiring nation medals.

    Thanks in advance everyone.

    Basically, you have two choices:

    1) Continue what you're doing, as it isn't wrong, it's just that large quantities of Nation medals take a very long time to acquire.

    2) Attack the shop with game cents acquired by your credit card or checking account, because large quantities of Nation medals take a very long time to acquire.

    If you take option 1, and you do not get lucky with your daily amulet spins (which most people don't), with the number you're talking about needing, you can expect to still be poking around on December 21, 2012, the day the Mayan Long Count calendar ends.

    Just being honest with you about what you're facing. Sorry...

    Now would be the best time to buy cents with the 2x deal going on right now. You're not going to get much more bang for your buck.


    ... And now that I have said this is the best cent deal, they will probably make the Xmas deal be x3 cents, just for giggles.

    There was a better deal at one point in time...the 15-week "Premium Rewards". I think it ended up to where you had 5X the total you bought...

    The point is, Evony has decided that you have to buy medals and hero gear / gems (Age II), or else you have to have the patience of all the various Saints in all the various religions on the planet...combined. I personally think it's an economic strategy that will ultimately be their downfall, but they think it's pretty smart for the moment...

    Yes this is the answer i feared i am afraid.
    I think it's a little unfair tbh, i have a few people in my alliance also medal hunting (for promotion) and they report equally low numbers of nation medal gained during the last 3 weeks, i think four medals in total between about 10 players, seems awfully low to me.
    Ok well, i guess i will just have to be patient, thanks for taking the time to respond guys.

    best way is to wipe the dust off your credit card and use that baby.

    Im on a later server like yours and have found that lvl 10 valleys, swamps deserts lakes gave me the most nation.

    Do the capture release method with the 1 of everything and 30k archers and 1 ballista.

    I was doing it from 3 cities constantly all day and was getting a few most days. ofcourse theres bad days but in the long run its the hard work that pays off for these.



    The game needs to introduce medal boxes where you can buy a single type of medal, or maybe trade up medals. Even something stupid like where you can trade 2 justice for 1 nation or 3 freedom 1 nation, that kinda thing. That would make it still difficult but not so impossible

    I quite agree, in fact i have mentioned something similar in a separate thread.
    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=158789

    It would be nice if they introduced a polling system on forums and then at least we if not actually Evony could gauge how popular an idea was.

    Ky the reason they have not and will not do that is ofcourse money. You have to buy medals you do not need to get the ones you do.

    The only servers this works on are the oldest of the Age I servers, n1-n4, wn1-wn4, and that era... For the vast majority of Age I players, medals do not drop from NPCs.
