Hello everyone, I've been playing evony for quite a while now, Altho this is my first server, I'm a very experienced player, i'm in the top 50 prestige of my server and i'd say that half of thoses above me don't even start to cover my army size.

Now theres MANY things that I've tested myself concerning battle mechanics and how everything works because I myself am a programmer and I have a mind to understand such a thing.

So here's what I though....

Max amount of troops you can send using war ensign is 125k
No limit of troops in defencive mode on a city.
Archers with Archery 10 and Level 10 Walls have a range greater than catapults with Level 10 Archery.

The defenders will ALWAYS get 1 round at least to shoot at every and any ennemies that comes at them.

Which brings the following theory...

When you have enough Archers/Balistas/AT's in your town to kill any waves of ennemy sent at you on the first round they come in range. How can you be killed ?

I'm currently standing at an approximate of 300k Archers and 10k balistas with Maxed AT's on level 10 Walls (18323) I'm using 10 Abatis and 10 Traps to make the fight start at 5000 range.

So how can someone kill me if they cant send anymore than 125k archers at me which i tear apart in 1 round with my 131 attack hero?

Don't compare my army to thoses of older servers... My server is one after 110... its a very very new one. So tell me this. Whoever knows... Is the only way to kill someone that has this kind of defences in a city to use diversion and make him move his troops and strike when he's unguarded or is there really a way that i let my troops sit in my city (considering i have unlimited fool lets say) and someone could kill me. Would it even be possible ?

I used Evocalc.com to check it out, now sure sure I know evocalc is **** most of the time but it does reflect alot of the battle mechanics and theres alot of truth in it. Using Evocalc, no matter what combination of 125k units i used my side didnt get a single loss.

Now I know that seems good for me, but I'd like to know more on this for when I meet someone that has the same kind of defences & how to beat him.


Subject #2:

Heroes. I read ALL kind of guides on the net.. NONE displays how to get a GOOD hero... You know the ones we see in the standings with awsome stats (And yes I know excalibur exists but level 52 with 251 attack is out of the exalibur 25% bonus range) And I've had other players report to me, claiming there was "better ways to recruit heroes" but wouldn't tell me which ones... I've searched everywhere so help me on that... I spent at least 20 hours or more recruiting from level 1 INN and using holy water when i think the stats is fairly reasonable and the base line for "perfect" heroes is stats of 70 at level 1 (using holy water to redistribute the point from level 1 you couldn't distribute)

So Apart from Mars and Lancelot, Is there really other ways to get heroes with base stats of 71+ ?

Subject #3

This theory is in response to my first subject. Someone told me there was a way, using camp time, to syncronize your attacks and have exactly all troops arrive at attacking destination in the same second and that it would work with a battle mechanic counting all troops as if they were fighting the same fight. About 100 attempts of recreating this on a level 1 npc and some level 1-3 valleys demonstrated it was nearly not only impossible to time correctly but when successfull nothing appears to go differently than if i just attacked 1 after the other.

If t his is true tho, it would destroy the theory that you're indestructable after 300k archers cuz you could send 10 troops of 125k archers so 1.25 million. But Thourgh all my testing I havent managed to find a way to do it correctly.

So your responses would be appreciated.
