Thread: Evony Age II Puzzle #1

  1. #1

    Default Evony Age II Puzzle #1

    In an effort to extend Jeffrox's excellent topics to Age II, I've put together a puzzle:

    ----

    Storyline: You own Atlantis on na99. You are part of an alliance of 30 members with no allies. A birdie forwards you a memo being passed around by the Evil Coalition (EC). It reads thusly:

    ----

    Three days from now, we will attack Atlantis between 15:00:00 and 15:00:59 with the following waves:

    • 1,000 waves of 100 Worker/Warrior/Scout/Pike/Sword/Archer/Cav/Phract
    • 1,000 waves of 100 Worker/Warrior/Pike/Sword/Cav/Phract, 99,400 Archers
    • 1,000 waves of 100 Cavalry, 99,900 Archers

    - EC (Evil Coalition)

    ----

    Unfortunately, you have no idea what order they will arrive in. Eva tells you that you cannot close your gates, lest she become the laughing stock of the realm.

    ----
    Objective: Win against all incoming waves while minimizing the barracks time needed to replace your alliance’s lost units.
    ----

    Assumptions:

    1. Age II Mechanics
    2. You own the best defending hero in your alliance: Henry IV, and have a 12 starset with Level 10 Gear.
    3. You own the best politics hero in your alliance: A 99 base politics HH.
    4. Your attackers are all using level 100 heroes with 400 attack, 50 intelligence, 9 starset, war horn, corselet, and penicillin.
    5. You and your 30 alliance mates have an unlimited number of each type of unit.
    6. You own the only Historical City in your alliance.
    7. No uprise/buxom bonuses are in effect on either side of the battle.
    8. DXCalc is 100% accurate for these battles.
    9. The lag on your account will be too bad for you to perform any actions from 15:00:00 to 15:01:00 on the day of reckoning.
    10. Assume 0% heals for scoring purposes
    11. No stratagems allowed
    12. Building a Beacon Tower is against your moral code

    ----

    Scoring:

    • Dead Worker: 50 Points
    • Dead Warrior: 25 Points
    • Dead Scout: 100 Points
    • Dead Pikeman: 150 Points
    • Dead Swordsman: 225 Points
    • Dead Archer: 350 Points
    • Dead Cavalry: 500 Points
    • Dead Cataphract: 1,500 Points
    • Dead Transporter: 1,000 Points
    • Dead Ballista: 3,000 Points
    • Dead Battering Ram: 4,500 Points
    • Dead Catapult: 6,000 Points

    The winner of the puzzle will have the entry with the lowest score.

    ----

    Directions:

    Specify in as much detail as possible how you will defend against the attacks.

    Make sure to include units, wall fortifications, and actions from you or your alliance.

    Submit your answer by 23:59:59 server time on May 4th, 2012.

    Please submit your answer as a private message to me, all entries will be read relatively promptly!

    Cheers,

    Wolf

    2 billion Workers and Nothing but Abatis on walls. Move henry out of the city so your Poli Hero defends for negotiation purposes. Once All Workers are killed use Speech texts to defend Atlantis for 2 months. Sell atlantis move on to Na102, Atleast thats how i would do it.

    few things i want to make sure of

    1. Are you allowed to redistribute any of henrys attack power to intel?
    2. Has the defender warhorn and corsolet active?
    3. can you specify that a rein lands before each different attack types, for instance could i say a transporter rein landed just before each of the archer hammers?
    4. also after 3000 waves all with 100 cavs and 2k with 100 phracts, even a full wall of abatis will be gone leaving the defence in cd at some point throughout, are we to assume any such wall defence will endure the 3k waves?

    1. Yes, you may redistribute anything you want. Gear or Holy Water.
    2. Yes, unless you don't want the warhorn and corselet.
    3. You cannot specify this. You can specify the second that a transporter rein arrives.
    4. I don't think it's fair to answer this question.

    To extrapolate on question 3, I'm going to randomly assign a time to each of the 3,000 attacking waves using the rand() function of excel. I will then compare the two best entries using this attack setup.

    Some great responses so far!

    You are welcome to modify your responses up until the end date of the puzzle.

    How can you make small (or big) adjustments to your plan so that you are likely to lose less troops?

    Remember, a reinforcement sent to arrive at 15:00:30 can arrive randomly at any point during that second.

    Cheers!
