Evony Wisdom Dome Guide 2025: Unlock Hidden Buffs in the K50 Update – Full Breakdown Evony Wisdom Dome Guide: What Is the Wisdom Dome? A Quick K50 Overview Tucked in your city (spot the icon!), the Wisdom Dome lets you "pray to the goddess of wisdom" for rare books that fuel massive troop buffs. Detail view reveals the hook: Offer books to the Goddess Attendant for attribute boosts (+2-6% base, scaling with quality). But slots unlock progressively—essential for full power. Level Unlocks Lv. 2 Charge Attendant Mounted troop perks Lv. 5 Precision Attendant Ranged HP/attack Lv. 9 Formation Attendant All-troop defense Lv. 12 Siege Craft Attendant Siege machine shreds Lv. 15 Missile Attendant Ground/ranged synergy Upgrades aren't cheap (Lv. 3→4: 60M resources; Lv. 5→6: 354M stone/320M iron)—time them for resource consumption events to double rewards. Inside: Four tabs (Goddess Prayer, Book Merge, Goddess Attendant, Book Warehouse) plus rarity spinners (purple/orange). It's a grind, but orange books in all slots? Game-changer for K50 meta. Step 1: Stockpile Tokens – Daily Freebies & Gem Buys Tokens are your entry ticket—farm 'em via Daily Activity Chests (complete boxes 4 & 5 for 1-2 Goddess Prayer/Worship Tokens each). Miss these? You're grinding slower.Gem Boost: +5 tokens daily for 2,500 gems (refreshable 5x)—Favian's verdict: "Worth it for orange spins," but skip if hoarding. Packs : New today! Basic Prayer Pack ($9.99): 3 tokens (buy 2x/event, triple-down eligible). Advanced: 20 tokens—ideal for pity chases. Pity System : Purple after 9 failed spins; orange after 19. Spin purple for rares (greens/blues common); orange for epics. Favian's demo: 9 purple spins yielded 2 blues/7 greens—RNG roulette! Step 2: Spin for Books – The 5 Types Explained Hit Goddess Prayer for half-books (left/right icons). Five types, unlocked by Dome levels: Favian's orange spin: 3 purples, 5 blues, 2 greens—stockpile for merges. Greens for fodder; chase orange for +3-5% bases + random advanced (e.g., -1.8% enemy attack in-rally). Step 3: Merge Half-Books – Warehouse vs. Player Trades Books are halves—match left/right of same type/color in Book Merge for full tomes. Base buffs (e.g., +2% healing speed) + random advanced (no control—RNG strikes). Warehouse Merge (Solo) : Use your duplicates—Favian's blue Missile example: +3.5% in-rally range/siege HP; advanced: -4.2% enemy range attack defending. Charge Example : Blue merge → +3.5% defending mounted HP; advanced: +2.7% in-rally mounted attack. Pro Tip : Start with greens to practice—purples/oranges yield bigger (e.g., +1.4% attacking mounted attack). Step 4: Activate Books in Goddess Attendant – Slot & Live Buffs Goddess Attendant: 5 slots (one per type)—eligible books auto-show. Drag to slot for instant activation. Favian's demo: Upgraded to Lv. 2 (instant gems, 10K)—unlocked Charge; slotted blue book → live +1.5% defending mounted attack. Chop/change freely—test in Glory Arena. Blues add +10 to boosts; purples +20. Full orange slots? 20-30%+ troop edges. Maximize Slots: Feed for Boosts & Upgrades Unused halves? Feed 'em to slots for +1% upgrades (multiplicative on book attributes). Favian's green fodder: 6 halves → 1% boost across all perks (e.g., +3.5% HP becomes +3.535%). Upgrade Scale : Lv. 1→2 easier; later? Steeper (save blues/purples). Building Grind : Lv. 5 for Precision (another 10K gems in demo)—total Lv. 15 for all: Resource beast, but buffs justify. Player Merges : Alliance Wins & Farm Hacks No duplicate? Player Merge : Send mutual requests (both need halves ready). Select advanced attribute (or random), broadcast to alliance/world. Both get full books—win-win! Favian's tip : "Farms are gold"—daily spins on alts for trades. Add approval tick; minimal at launch, but scales with server activity. Narrow searches (e.g., "Attacking Siege Defense") for precision. F2P & Low-Spender Wisdom Dome Tips for K50 Survival Grind-heavy like Blazons, but F2P-viable: Daily Musts : Boxes 4/5 + cheap spins—aim 1-2 merges/week. Pity Chase : 9/19 spins for quality; skip gems unless event. Alliance Grind : Public requests—team for mutual orange hauls. Resource Timing : Upgrades during consumption events (double packs). Prioritize : Charge/Precision first (Lv. 2/5 easy); feed greens to slots. Pack Value : $9.99 for basics if merging stuck—triple-down saves. K50 Synergy : Stack with Mastery trees for 2,500%+ defenses—test vs. T17. Favian's hoard mode : "Gems saved forever"—but Dome's a smart splurge for buffs. Wrapping Up: Is Wisdom Dome Worth the Grind in Evony 2025? Wisdom Dome's a slow-burn winner: Daily tokens → Spins → Merges → Slots → Boosts = stacked perks rivaling Blazons. Full orange setup? Elite for SvS. But it's a grind—F2P, patience pays; coiners, packs accelerate. Seen K50 zeros yet? Drop your first merge buffs or farm hacks below—what's your top book type?

Evony Charles VI New General Guide 2025: Halloween Event Evony Charles VI Guide 2025: New Ranged General Review – K50 Meta Savior or Skip? The Evony K50 update has lords scrambling—Tier 17 troops, massive buffs, and F2P fears—but Top Games Inc. just sweetened the pot with Epic Historic General Charles VI, a ranged powerhouse dropping October 24, 2025, via the Halloween Surprise event. In this deep-dive from Empire Build Academy, we break down his skills, ascension perks, covenant synergies, and if he's worth your gems in the post-K50 chaos. Expected a 60% march size monster? Think again—this guy's a balanced beast with ~230% total attack buffs and only 18% capacity creep. Ideal for ranged rallies or wall defense? Let's crunch the numbers and see if Charles VI flips the meta for low-spenders. If you're hoarding tokens post-K50, stick around—plus, quick hits on Wisdom Dome prayers, Halloween monsters, and why citizens are finally live on old servers. Charles VI Evony: Core Stats & Why He's a Ranged Rally King As a ranged attacker, Charles VI leads with frontline synergy for archer-heavy marches. No overwhelming march size (phew—avoids K50 rally spam), but stacked offense makes him a T17 shredder. Base leadership: +55% range troop attack/HP, +40% defense on attacks. Favian's take: "Thankfully not too much capacity"—just 10% at 4-star ascension. Ascension Buffs Breakdown Ascend him fast (Historic General Summoning guarantees in 6 Glory token pulls; 5th-tier Halloween packs for shots). Here's the tiered glow-up: 1-Star : +15% attacking range attack; +20% defense; 2-Star : +8% death-to-wounded rate; 3-Star : +25% range/siege attack; +30% range HP. 4-Star : +30% range/siege defense; +10% march size; 5-Star : +40% range attack/def/HP. Total? A whopping +230% attack amplification when paired right. Specialties: Siege & Range Synergy Unlock these via fragments (events drop 'em)—they're the secret sauce: Base: +10% range HP/defense; +10% range/siege attack; +10% range attack/HP/defense. Max: +55% attacking range attack; +40% range defense/HP. Favian's math: Layers these into 230%+ totals, but low 18% capacity keeps him "quite low" vs. other ranged generals. Covenant Perks: Faith & War for Endgame Edges Covenants seal the deal—farm via events: War Covenant: +10% attacking range attack; Cooperation: +10% range training capacity; Peace Covenant: +10% attacking range defense. Faith +10% range attack; +5% attacking range HP; Honor Covenant: +10% in-rally range attack; Civilization Covenant: +10% range HP; +8% march size. Stack for K50 SvS: Ranged debuffs + HP tanks hold T17 rushes. Favian: "Aids K50 a hell of a lot less" without march bloat—F2P friendly? Is Charles VI Worth Pulling in Evony 2025? Pairings & Meta Fit Low capacity suggests that many won't be chasing this general. Let me know in the comments what you plan to do. Quick Hits: Wisdom Dome, Halloween Events & More K50 Fallout Amid the K50 recovery, here's what's live October 24: Wisdom Dome Prayers : Goddess Prayer packages now available—merge books (Parts 1/2) in warehouse or with allies for "power activation." Favian's upcoming vid: Full merge guide + goddess attendant secrets. Citizens Feature Rollout : Long for new servers? Now on old ones—boost production without walls. Halloween Monsters : Event drops soon—beefy bosses for gems/speedups; auto-join Lv. 23+ for loot. Bug Fix : Dragon Battle data resolved—queue up. This Week's Events : Dragon Battle & Ranger Night Order : Core grinds. Feasting Rivalry & Grace of Star Trial : Easy rewards. Great Expedition & Revelation of Mayor : Easy rewards, small grind Glory Arena : Test Charles VI here. Consumables : Speedups (common/construction/healing) for rewards—valuable events updating soon. Favian's chill mode : "Reduce time... F2P/low-spenders invest time too." K50 defense vid next week—troop needs vs. K48/50 sightings? Comment yours! Final Verdict: Pull Charles VI or Pivot? Charles VI isn't a K50 nuke, but his 230% attack + low capacity make him a smart ranged add for 2025. F2P? Event-farm him. Coiners? Stack for T17 dominance. What's your pull plan—wall swap or rally upgrade? Seen a K50 yet? Subscribe to Empire Build Academy for the Wisdom Dome deep-dive (dropping soon) and K50 defense blueprint.

Evony K50 Update 2025: Keep Level 50 and T17 Troops Finally Here Evony K50 Update 2025: Keep Level 50 & Tier 17 Troops – F2P Killer or Epic Evolution? Evony: The King's Return just dropped a bombshell: Keep Level 50 (K50) is finally here, bundled with Tier 17 troops and a slew of meta-shifting features in the upcoming Friday update (October 25, 2025). If you're a grinder like Favian from Empire Build Academy—sitting at 2.8B power and barely holding off K45 raids—this could reshape your empire... or spell doom for free-to-play (F2P) and low-spenders. Drawing from the official Facebook announcement and raw community reactions, this guide breaks down the chaos: new buffs, backlash, and survival strategies for Evony's 2025 endgame. Missed the hype? We've got the full scoop—plus Favian's unfiltered rant on why trap keeps might be extinct. Ready to pivot or pack it in? The Big Reveal: What's Dropping in Evony's K50 Update? Spotted first by Discord sleuth Leio and blasted on the Evony: The King's Return Facebook page, the "Kingdom Evolves" patch raises the building cap to K50 for "massive power boosts." But it's not just walls—expect a full overhaul. Here's the rundown straight from the post: Power Surge : K50 unlocks insane stat jumps, but paired with Tier 17 (T17) troops? Your mounted legions just got medieval. Tech Tree Expansion : Monarch's Academy adds Offensive Mastery and Defensive Mastery branches—think +% attack/def/HP buffs that could make your layers unbreakable (or your rallies unstoppable). Military Upgrades : Military Academy introduces Charge Formation (mounted blitz?) and Sweep Formation (ranged sweeps?)—new march setups for SvS domination. New Buildings & Mechanics :Trade Carriage: Dispatch convoys for passive rewards (echoes State of Survival's trade runs—easy gems/speedups?). Wisdom Dome : Study "sacred books" for wisdom power-ups—likely monarch EXP or unique buffs. World Changes : Stronger monsters and bosses mean bigger loot hauls... if you can solo them with T17 might. Troop Tier Leap : Train "mightiest warriors" at T17—expect 20-30% stat spikes over T16, per community leaks. Update your app Friday to dive in (Favian tried early—nada yet). Full deets in-game, but whispers of new generals with march size buffs could drop alongside. Community Backlash: "RIP F2P" Floods the Comments Evony's Facebook lit up faster than a purge rally—and not with cheers. Favian scrolled the post's reactions: a tidal wave of despair from 4+ year vets. Top sentiments? The Rage : "RIP to all free-to-play. Well, it's been something. Time to leave the game." (Echoed by "Greedy Evony" and "Time to delete Evony.") Dark Humor : "Anyone available to buy a kidney, one liver, and a ball?" / "More money for Evony. More CR cards get scratches. Not me." Tech Gripes : "Lag issues first." / "YKK50 where there are max one or 2 K50 in many servers." April Fools Vibes: "I thought April's Fools was in April. Evony must be trolling." Silver Linings? : A smattering of "It's fire" from big spenders, but drowned out by "RIP" spam. One gem: "Evony out of date. Finally, I can move on. No more spending." Favian nailed it : "This might be your most hated post yet." With F2P/low-spenders fueling alliances (and coiners' raid farms), will mass quits gut servers? If K50s only fight each other, what's left for the ecosystem? Favian's Hot Take: Trap Keeps Dead? Low-Spenders on the Brink As a self-proclaimed "struggling" 2.8B player hoarding 14M gems and general tokens for a wall upgrade, Favian's gut punch: "Is this the death of Evony for players like me?" He's been in save mode, eyeing Boudica swaps—but T17 + K50 buffs? "That's not really going to do anything now." Defense Dilemma : Trap keeps (T1 meat walls) are toast. "Extremely difficult for lower keeps... F2P are important, but are we going to lose a lot?" Shift to "stronger layers across all types"—but even that vs. T17? "What kind of figures to survive?" T16 Struggles Amplified : "Not many have T16 in our alliance. T17 is ridiculous." Add research buffs, and solos/rallies from K50s could one-shot sub-5B keeps. General Wildcard : "What kind of generals? Bigger buffs and march capacities?" Leaks hint at siege beasts—great for P2W, nightmare for ghosts. Cost Barrie r: Even rushers won't escape the wallet bleed. Favian's K39→K40? 45M resources per build. K45→K50 + T16→T17? "Not going to come cheap... a lot of money needed." Flip side : Spenders cheer, "We pay—it's about time." But Favian warns: Without F2P fodder, "Who are these K50s attacking?" A K50 echo chamber? Servers could hollow out fast. How to Prep for K50 & T17: F2P/Low-Spender Survival Guide Don't bail yet—adapt. Favian's brainstorming auction splurges (gems for flats gear?), but here's a 2025 roadmap: Layer Up Now : Ditch pure T1 traps. Build 300M+ mixed (T1 front, T3 mid, T4+ back) with debuff generals (e.g., -50% enemy atk). Buff Grind : Max Monarch's Academy pre-update—aim 2,200% HP/def across types. Stockpile sacred books for Wisdom Dome. Troop Pivot : Train T16 ASAP (even if sparse)—T17 training will devour food/wood. Use Trade Carriage for passive resources. Alliance Huddle : Rally low-spenders—shared buffs/reinforcements key. Scout K50 beta reports Friday. Gem Hoard Hack : Favian's 14M stash? Eye CR packs or event tokens for quick T16 layers. Skip impulse—target wall synergies like Isaac Brock assists. Event Timing : Autumn Ceremony (Oct 10) drops gems—farm before the rush. P2W Tip : Splurge on new formations for SvS edges, but watch server migration spikes. The Verdict: Evony's Bold Bet – Will K50 Save or Sink the Game? K50 + T17 isn't just an update—it's Evony's high-stakes gamble on endgame depth. For coiners, it's glory: stronger bosses, richer trades, mastery trees. For F2P? A potential exodus, as comments scream. Favian's torn: "We knew it was coming... but blindsided by T17." If Evony doesn't balance (e.g., F2P buffs or catch-up events), 2025 could see ghost towns. Your move : Rush K50? Fortify and fight? Or hit delete? Sound off below—what's your plan vs. T17 terrors? Sticking for the streams? Catch Favian's Friday deep-dive on battle reports. Subscribe to Empire Build Academy for Evony 2025 meta mastery—next: All-Star Season 17 prep.

New Evony General Louis XIV Welcome back to Empire Build Academy! In this guide, we’re diving into the latest Evony update featuring the brand-new epic historic general, Louis XIV, a must-have for players looking to dominate with mounted troops. We’ll break down his skills, ascensions, specialties, and covenants, plus touch on another new general, Caterina Sforza, and the latest Evony events. Whether you’re a PvP enthusiast or building your empire, this guide will help you decide if Louis XIV is the right addition to your roster. Let’s jump in! Meet Louis XIV: The Mounted Troop Master Louis XIV is a game-changer for mounted troop strategies in Evony. His "Saint Louis" special skill delivers a massive 40% boost to mounted troop attack, defense, and HP when leading an army in attack. Plus, he grants an additional 15% mounted troop attack when paired with a dragon or spiritual beast, making him a powerhouse for offensive marches. How to Recruit Louis XIV To add Louis XIV to your roster : Head to the Tavern. Click Recruit and navigate to Portraits. Find him under the Europe category. While you’re there, you’ll also notice Caterina Sforza, a bunker general, in the same section. More on her later! Louis XIV Ascensions : Boosting Your March Louis XIV’s ascensions unlock powerful buffs, especially for mounted troops and march size. Here’s the breakdown: 1 Star : +15% attacking mounted troop attack and defense. 2 Star : +8% attacking troop death-to-wounded rate. 3 Star : +25% mounted troop attack, +5% march size capacity. 4 Star : +20% mounted troop defense and HP. 5 Star : +40% mounted troop attack and HP, +8% march size capacity. Total March Size Boost : A 13% boost from ascensions alone, making Louis XIV ok for players looking to field larger armies. Specialties : Maximizing Mounted Power Louis XIV’s specialties further amplify his effectiveness: Specialty 1 : +10% mounted troop attack and defense. Specialty 2 : +19% march size capacity, +10% mounted and ground troop attack. Specialty 3 : +10% troop attack, HP, and defense. Specialty 4 : +50% attacking mounted troop attack, +40% defense and HP. These specialties make Louis XIV a top-tier choice for mounted troop-focused PvP, especially when fully maxed out. Covenants : Extra Buffs for Your Army Louis XIV’s covenants provide additional buffs to enhance your strategy: Covenant 1 : Mounted troop HP. Covenant 2 : Training capacity. Covenant 3 : +5% mounted troop attack. Covenant 4 : In-rally mounted troop attack and defense. Covenant 5 : Additional march size capacity. Covenant 6 : Attacking mounted troop attack and in-rally mounted troop defense. With a total march size capacity boost of approximately 29% when combined with ascensions, Louis XIV is a fantastic pick for players prioritizing large, powerful marches. Is Louis XIV Worth It? For players focused on mounted troop strategies, Louis XIV is a phenomenal addition, offering unmatched attack, defense, and HP buffs. His synergy with dragons or spiritual beasts and significant march size boosts make him ideal for mid-to-late game PvP and rallies. However, if mounted troops aren’t your focus, you might prioritize other generals. Let us know in the comments if you’re adding Louis XIV to your lineup!

Her key abilities include: +15% ranged troop and siege machine attack when she’s the bunker officer. -15% enemy ranged troop and siege machine defense and HP.

Evony Updates: New General Louis II Guide, Wishful Windmill Festival Preview & More | Empire Build Academy Welcome back to Empire Build Academy! I'm Favian, and in this quick dive into Evony: The King's Return, we're covering the latest weekend updates, including the exciting preview for the Wishful Windmill Festival, enhancements to the Alliance Monthly Card, and a full breakdown of the brand-new epic general, Louis II. Whether you're grinding for resources or building your ultimate army, these changes can supercharge your empire. Let's jump in and explore how to leverage them for maximum gains. Latest Evony Updates: What's New This Weekend? Evony's developers dropped some game-changing announcements over the weekend, focusing on events and quality-of-life improvements. Here's a rundown of the highlights: Wishful Windmill Festival Preview – Gear Up for the Next Big Event Get ready for the Wishful Windmill Festival, Evony's upcoming limited-time event kicking off in the next couple of weeks. This festive extravaganza ties into themes of harvest and wishes, similar to past celebrations like the Harvest Festival, where players collect items like Wishing Coins from monsters and resource spots to spin for rewards. Expect daily login bonuses, special packages, and exclusive decorations like windmills for your Ideal Land—perfect for boosting your city's aesthetics and buffs. Pro Tip: Stock up on event currencies early by hitting resource spots and low-level monsters. Past events rewarded speed-ups, gems, and rare ornaments, so this could be your chance to snag that elusive Windmill building for passive resource gains. Stay tuned to the in-game Event Center for the full schedule. Alliance Monthly Card Gets a Major Upgrade: Auto-Help While Online One of the standout updates is to the Alliance Monthly Card, now offering even more value for collaborative play. For just $19.99 a month, this card already provides massive alliance points (up to 70 million for tributes and VIP perks), but the new feature is a game-changer: auto-help activation while you're online. When activated, it automatically assists alliance members' help requests—no more manual clicking through notifications! This is ideal for active players in large alliances, saving time during rallies or builds. Combined with the card's existing auto-rally capabilities (like the Rally Monthly Card for $9.99, which joins monster hunts automatically), it's a must-have for F2P and P2P alike to stay competitive. If you're in a 150+ member alliance, this could double your daily tributes and reinforcements. Activate it via the Valuable Events tab and watch your alliance bonds strengthen. Spotlight on the New General: Louis II – Epic Ground Troop Powerhouse The star of this update? Louis II, the fresh epic historic general now available through special packs and the Historic General Summoning. As a ground troop specialist, Louis II shines in PvP rallies and monster sieges, delivering massive buffs to your infantry marches. (Note: While some sources reference Louis IX as a ranged counterpart, Louis II focuses on ground dominance—perfect for balanced armies.) Louis II's Special Skill: Liberator of Bari Louis II's core ability, Liberator of Bari, packs a punch: +55% Ground Troops Attack & HP +40% Ground Troops Defense when leading an attacking army. This makes him ideal for frontline assaults, where durability meets raw power. However, note that his buffs trigger on "army to attack," so he's not suited for wall defense—save him for offensive marches. Ascension Bonuses: Unlock Even More Power Ascend Louis II to unlock escalating ground troop buffs. Here's the breakdown per star level: 1-Star : +15% Attacking Ground Troop Attack; +10% Defense & HP. 2-Star : +8% Attacking Troop Death-to-Wounded Rate. 3-Star : +25% Attacking Ground & Mounted Troop Attack; +25% Ground & Mounted Troop Defense. 4-Star : +25% Attacking Mounted & Ground Troop HP; +10% March Size. 5-Star : +40% Attacking Mounted & Ground Troop Attack; +25% Attacking Ground Troop Defense & HP. Prioritize fragments from packs to hit 5-stars fast—these stack for up to 50%+ attack spikes! Growth Attributes Louis II's attributes scale beautifully for ground-focused builds: Ground Troop HP & Defense : +10% Ground & Mounted Troop Attack : +10% Attack, HP, & Defense (All) : +10% Attacking Ground Troop Attack : +50%; Defense: +40%; HP: +40% Recommended Skill Books (Level 4 for max impact): Ground Troop Attack (core) Ground Troop HP/Defense March Size (to offset his modest base) Rally Ground Troop Attack (for alliance wars) Covenants & Total March Size War Covenant : +10% Attacking Ground Troop Defense Cooperation Covenant : +10% Ground Troop Training Capacity Other Buffs : +10% Ground Attack/Defense; +5% Attacking Ground Attack; +10% Rally Ground Attack/HP; +8% March Size Total March Size with full setup: ~18%—solid but not elite. Pair with dragon gear for boosts up to 28%+. Best Pairings : Main with Trajan or Soult for ground synergy; assist with Elise for debuffs. Use in rallies against bosses for 200%+ effective power. Don't Miss : Revelation of Horus Event – Daily Quests for Epic Rewards Running right now, the Revelation of Horus is a 23-quest event with hidden daily challenges revealed after server reset. Complete them fast for Horus Gold Coins and leaderboard ranks—top spots snag Meteoric Stones for gear amps and historic generals. Today's quest? Well Trained – Train 50,000 troop power (e.g., T3/T4 mounted) to score high. I hit 31st place by rushing, but checking guides beforehand could've landed top 10. Head to our site's Evony blog for a full quest list—search "Well Trained" for exact requirements. Redeem Shop Highlights : Meteoric Stones (for civ equip) Generals like Narses Speed-ups & Gems Aim for 6,000+ coins to max rewards. Speculate on hidden quests using past data to prep in advance. Final Thoughts: Level Up Your Evony Empire TodayThese updates—Louis II's ground dominance, the Wishful Windmill Festival tease, Alliance Monthly Card auto-magic, and Revelation of Horus grind—make now the perfect time to push your server rankings. Grab Louis II packs while they're hot, activate that card for effortless alliance support, and smash those daily quests. Are you hunting Louis II or topping Horus leaderboards?

Evony Hypnos Dream Event Guide | Empire Build Academy Evony Hypnos Dream Event Guide: Master the Game with Free Strategies | Empire Build Academy Welcome back to Empire Build Academy! I’m Favian, and today we’re diving into the Evony: The King's Return Hypnos Dream Event with a comprehensive guide to help you conquer this exciting challenge. Let’s head straight into the game and the Event Center to unlock its secrets and maximize your rewards—without wasting a moment! Getting Started with the Hypnos Dream Event To begin, navigate to the Event Center in Evony. Scroll down to locate the Hypnos Dream Event, which is live now. Once inside, you’ll need to select your desired rewards before starting—this is the only setup step not covered here, so choose wisely based on your needs (e.g., Tactic Scrolls, Blood of Ares, or Dragon Coins). Click the Information tab for the full rundown: Event Mechanics : Complete 30 levels per dream round, selecting from four dream crystals per level. Each crystal hides either a Sweet Dream (awarding a random chosen reward) or a Nightmare (requiring Hypnos to dispel). Risk Factor : Hit a Nightmare without enough Hypnos, and you’ll fail the round, losing an attempt and all progress. Quitting midway or failing counts against your daily attempt limit. Reset Details : All quest progress resets post-event, and unused Hypnos vanishes, so use them wisely. How to Play : Daily Free Uses and Crystal SelectionThe key resource here is Hypnos, visible in the event interface. You start with one daily free use—click Use Daily Free to access your four crystals. I’m currently on level 19 of 30, with rewards accumulating from my initial selections. Each successful pick adds to your prize pool, delivered after completing the round. Strategy in Action I picked a crystal—fingers crossed for no skulls! Success! That’s added to my haul. However, at level 23, a Nightmare (skull) appeared. With seven levels left and plenty of event time (over a week), my daily free uses should get me to 30. If I run out, packs offer extra attempts (up to 10 total), but I’m aiming to finish F2P. Tip : Aim for level 10 on your first run. If you hit 4-6 levels before a skull, restart with remaining attempts to push further—ideal for stacking rewards across multiple rounds. Maximizing Rewards and Avoiding Pitfalls Reward Accumulation : My current earnings (from levels 1-19) plus future wins (19-30) will finalize at the end. Canceling resets everything, so persevere unless you’re strategizing a fresh start. Daily Limit : Use your free Hypnos daily to stretch progress. With seven days left, I expect to complete before the deadline—my last run hit 5-6 levels pre-skull. Pack Option: If short on attempts, packs boost your chances, but F2P players can succeed with patience and timing. The Hypnos Dream is a luck-based yet rewarding event.

The ultimate guide for mobile strategy games Let’s dive into a detailed breakdown of a mobile strategy game for someone who’s never played one before. I’ll use a hypothetical game inspired by popular titles like Clash of Clans, Rise of Kingdoms, or Lords Mobile to explain the core mechanics, with clear examples of buildings, troops, research, and other key elements. The goal is to make this accessible and engaging, walking you through what to expect and how to approach the game as a beginner. What is a Mobile Strategy Game? What is a mobile strategy game? Mobile strategy games are typically real-time or turn-based games where you build a base, manage resources, train armies, research upgrades, and engage in battles or alliances with other players. They combine long-term planning (strategy) with tactical decision-making, often set in a medieval, sci-fi, or fantasy world. These games are designed to be played in short bursts but reward consistent progress over time.As a beginner, your focus will be on learning the game’s systems, building a strong foundation, and avoiding common pitfalls. Let’s break it down step by step using a fictional game called "Kingdom’s Rise" as our example. Core Mechanics of a Mobile Strategy Game In Kingdom’s Rise, you’re a ruler building a kingdom from a small village. Your objectives are to expand your base, gather resources, train troops, and compete or cooperate with other players. Here are the key components: 1. Base Building Your base is the heart of your game. It’s a customizable area where you construct and upgrade buildings to unlock new features, generate resources, and prepare for battles. Key Buildings and Their Functions : Key buildings and their functions Town Hall/Castle (Level 1-20) : The central building that determines your overall progress. Upgrading it unlocks new buildings, troops, and features. For example, upgrading to Town Hall Level 3 might unlock Barracks for training troops. Resource Buildings : Gold Mine : Produces gold, used for building upgrades and training troops. Example: A Level 1 Gold Mine produces 200 gold per hour. Elixir Collector : Generates elixir, used for training troops and researching upgrades. Example: A Level 1 Elixir Collector produces 150 elixir per hour. Storage Buildings (Gold Storage, Elixir Storage) : Store your resources. Example: A Level 1 Gold Storage holds 10,000 gold. Defensive Buildings: Archer Tower : Attacks enemy troops from a distance. Example: Deals 15 damage per second at Level 1. Cannon : Targets ground units with high damage. Example: Deals 20 damage per second at Level 1. Walls : Protect your base by blocking enemy troops. Example: Level 1 Walls have 300 hit points. Army Buildings : Barracks : Trains troops like Archers or Swordsmen. Example: Unlocks Archers at Level 1, Swordsmen at Level 2. Army Camp : Increases the number of troops you can hold. Example: A Level 1 Army Camp holds 20 troop spaces. Special Buildings : Builder’s Hut : Assigns builders to construct or upgrade buildings. Example: You start with 2 builders, and each upgrade takes time (e.g., 10 minutes for a Level 1 Gold Mine to Level 2). Research Lab : Unlocks troop and spell upgrades (more on this later). Beginner Tip : Prioritize upgrading your Town Hall to unlock more buildings, but don’t rush it—ensure your resource buildings and defenses are strong enough to protect your base. Balance offense (army buildings) and defense (towers, walls) early on. 2. Resource Management Resource management and gathering Resources are the currency of the game, used for building, upgrading, and training. In Kingdom’s Rise, the primary resources are: Gold : For building and upgrading structures, especially defenses. Elixir : For training troops and researching upgrades. Gems : A premium currency (earned slowly in-game or purchased) that speeds up timers or buys resources. Example: 100 gems might skip a 1-hour upgrade timer. How to Gather Resources : Build and upgrade Gold Mines and Elixir Collectors. Attack other players’ bases to steal their resources (more on battles later). Complete missions or achievements. Example: “Upgrade your Town Hall to Level 3” rewards 500 gold and 500 elixir. Clear obstacles (trees, rocks) on your base for small resource rewards. Beginner Tip : Protect your resources by upgrading storages and placing them near defensive buildings. Don’t spend all your resources at once—save enough to train troops or start upgrades. 3. Training Troops Understanding troops and their process Troops are your army, used to attack other players or defend your base (in some games). In Kingdom’s Rise, you train troops in the Barracks, and they occupy space in your Army Camp. Example Troops : Archer (5 elixir, 1 space) : A ranged unit that attacks from a distance. Weak but versatile. Swordsman (10 elixir, 2 spaces) : A melee unit with higher health and damage. Good for tanking damage. Giant (50 elixir, 5 spaces) : A high-health unit that targets defenses first. Ideal for breaking through walls. Wizard (100 elixir, 4 spaces) : A powerful ranged unit with splash damage, unlocked later. Training Process : Select the Barracks, choose troops to train, and wait for the training time (e.g., 30 seconds for an Archer). Troops are stored in your Army Camp until you attack. If your camp is full (e.g., 20 spaces), you can’t train more until you use some troops. Beginner Tip : Experiment with troop combinations. For example, use Giants to soak up damage while Archers attack from behind. Don’t train expensive troops early on—stick to basic units like Archers and Swordsmen. 4. Research and Upgrades Knowledge is power get ahead with research The Research Lab lets you improve your troops, spells, or other abilities, making your army stronger. Example Research : Archer Level 2 (500 elixir, 1 hour) : Increases Archer damage from 10 to 12 per second. Healing Spell (1,000 elixir, 2 hours) : Unlocks a spell that heals troops during battle. Wall Breaker (2,000 elixir, 4 hours) : Unlocks a unit that targets walls, dealing 40 damage to them. Research Process : Spend elixir in the Research Lab to start an upgrade. Wait for the research timer (can be skipped with gems). Higher-level upgrades require a higher-level Town Hall and Lab. Beginner Tip : Prioritize upgrading your most-used troops (e.g., Archers) before unlocking new ones. Research can take a long time, so plan ahead. 5. Battles A guide to attacking and defending Battles are how you test your army and earn resources. In Kingdom’s Rise, you can: Attack Other Players : Search for an opponent’s base (costs a small amount of gold). Deploy troops strategically to destroy buildings and steal resources. Example: Deploy Giants to distract defenses, then Archers to take out resource buildings. Earn stars (1–3) based on destruction: 1 star for 50% damage, 2 stars for destroying the Town Hall, 3 stars for 100% destruction. Win resources (e.g., 10,000 gold and elixir) and trophies (a ranking system). Defend Your Base : When offline, your base can be attacked. Defensive buildings and troops in your base (if applicable) fight back. A strong defense (well-placed walls, upgraded towers) minimizes resource loss. Single-Player Campaign : Attack AI-controlled bases for practice and rewards. Example: Defeat “Goblin Camp Level 1” for 5,000 gold. Beginner Tip : Watch replays of attacks on your base to see where your defenses are weak. In attacks, target resource buildings first to maximize loot, and don’t use all your troops if you don’t need to. 6. Alliances and Social Features Join an alliance and become stronger Most strategy games encourage teamwork through alliances (called clans, guilds, or kingdoms). Joining a Clan : Unlocks at Town Hall Level 3. Join a clan to chat, donate troops, and participate in clan wars (team battles against other clans). Example : Donate Archers to a clanmate’s defense, or receive Giants for your attack. Clan Wars : A 24-hour battle where your clan attacks another clan’s bases. Earn bonus resources for winning. Example: Win a war for 20,000 gold and elixir. Beginner Tip : Join an active, beginner-friendly clan to get advice and extra troops. Don’t be afraid to ask for help in chat. 7. Progression and Time Management Progression and Time Management Mobile strategy games use timers to pace progress. Building, upgrading, and training all take time, which can be skipped with gems. Example Timers : Upgrading a Gold Mine to Level 2 : 10 minutes. Training 10 Archers : 5 minutes. Researching Archer Level 2 : 1 hour. Free-to-Play vs. Paid : Free to play vs paid You can play for free, but progress is slower without gems. Gems can be earned through achievements or purchased. Example: Clearing 10 obstacles earns 50 gems. Beginner Tip : Log in regularly (even for 5–10 minutes) to collect resources, start upgrades, and train troops. Don’t waste gems on minor speed-ups—save them for important upgrades or extra builders. Example Beginner Strategy in Kingdom’s Rise Beginner Strategy and Tips Let’s walk through a beginner’s first few days: Day 1: Getting Started Complete the tutorial: Build a Gold Mine, Elixir Collector, and Barracks. Upgrade your Town Hall to Level 2 (costs 1,000 gold, takes 30 minutes). Build an Archer Tower and Walls to protect your base. Train 10 Archers and attack a single-player Goblin Camp for 5,000 gold. Day 2: Expanding Upgrade Gold Mine and Elixir Collector to Level 2 for more resources. Build an Army Camp and second Barracks to train more troops. Attack another player’s base, using 5 Giants and 10 Archers to steal 8,000 gold. Start researching Archer Level 2 in the Research Lab. Day 3: Joining a Clan Upgrade Town Hall to Level 3 to unlock the Clan Castle. Join a beginner clan and request Archers for defense. Build a Cannon and upgrade Walls to Level 2. Participate in a clan war, attacking with Giants, Archers, and a Healing Spell. Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid Common Beginner mistakes to avoid Rushing the Town Hall : Upgrading your Town Hall too quickly without improving defenses or troops makes you vulnerable and slows progress. Example: Don’t rush to Town Hall Level 5 if your defenses are still Level 1. Ignoring Defenses : Weak defenses mean you’ll lose resources to attackers. Place Archer Towers and Cannons to cover your storages. Spending Gems Recklessly : Don’t use gems to speed up minor timers. Save them for builders or important upgrades. Neglecting Resources : Keep your Gold Mines and Elixir Collectors active, and attack regularly to supplement income. Why These Games Are Fun Progression Feels Rewarding : Watching your small village grow into a fortified kingdom is satisfying. Strategic Depth : Experimenting with troop combinations and base layouts keeps battles engaging. Social Interaction : Clans add a community aspect, with teamwork and friendly competition. Flexible Playtime : You can play for 5 minutes or an hour, fitting into a busy schedule. Real-World Examples If you’re ready to try a mobile strategy game, here are a few popular ones with similar mechanics to Kingdom’s Rise: Clash of Clans : Build a village, train troops, and join clans. Similar buildings (e.g., Town Hall, Gold Mine) and battles. Rise of Kingdoms : Focuses on historical civilizations, with deeper alliance and territory mechanics. Lords Mobile : Combines base-building with hero-based battles and large-scale kingdom wars. Download one from the App Store or Google Play, and check for beginner guides on YouTube or Reddit for specific tips. Final Tips for Success Final tips for success Start Small : Focus on upgrading resource buildings and basic troops before diving into complex strategies. Learn from Others : Watch replays, join a clan, or check forums like Reddit for advice. Be Patient : Progress takes time, but consistent play pays off. Have Fun : Experiment with different troop combos and base designs to find what you enjoy. If you have a specific game in mind or want tips for one (e.g., Clash of Clans), let me know, and I can tailor the advice further! Would you like me to generate a visual example of a base layout or analyze a specific game’s mechanics?

10+ Essential Evony Tips for 2025 Level Up Your Gameplay with Expert Strategies Are you ready to dominate Evony: The King's Return in 2025? Whether you're a newbie building your first keep or a seasoned lord grinding for that top alliance spot, mastering the game's nuances can mean the difference between rebuilding troops after a surprise attack and stacking resources like a pro. In this ultimate guide, we're distilling insights from Favian of Empire Build Academy's hit video, "10 Tips to Improve Your Play on Evony in 2025." We've scoured community forums, Reddit threads, and official updates to expand on these gems, making this your go-to resource for Evony tips 2025. From bubble discipline to smart spending, let's dive in and fortify your empire. 1. Master Bubble Discipline: Your First Line of Defense in SvS and Beyond Bubble up, or wipe out—that's the harsh reality of Evony events like Server vs. Server (SvS). Favian shares a personal slip-up on Server 1429 (paired with 1525), where forgetting to activate his bubble led to a rare green bubble scramble during a weekend event. Even veterans aren't immune, so build the habit. How to Do It Right: Head to your Truce Agreement menu and stockpile 24-hour truces (Favian has over 1,090—aim for 500+ as a mid-game player). Activate before events kick off; it shields you from cross-server and intra-server attacks, saving troops and resources. Pro Tip : Set a daily reminder app for SvS schedules. In 2025's packed event calendar, including the Autumn Ceremony on October 10th, this routine could save you billions in rebuild costs. Bubble discipline isn't just reactive—it's proactive empire-building. Skip it, and you're chasing events instead of leading them. 2. Unlock Auto-Hunt Power: Is the Rally Monthly Card Worth It in 2025? Tired of babysitting monster rallies? The Rally Monthly Card ($9.99/month) lets you auto-join without lifting a finger, perfect for big alliances tackling boss monsters. Favian swears by it for his crew with 20B+ power players, but warns: Manage your stamina wisely to avoid burnout. Setup for Maximum Gains: Buy via Super Monthly Cards in the shop—lasts 30 days and shines in stamina-heavy metas. In Alliance War Settings > Auto Join, set thresholds: Boss Monsters (Lv. 15+), Golems (Lv. 4+), Hydras (Lv. 3+). Skip lowbies like Fenrir or easy Vikings to conserve stamina. 2025 Update : Version 5.03.0 boosted monthly card rewards, making this even more valuable for casuals. Favian alternates months now due to high monster volume, but for F2P grinders, it's a game-changer—potentially netting 10x the loot without effort. If you're in a top alliance, this card pays for itself in event points alone. 3. Switch to Landscape Mode: Find Pyramids and Barbarians Faster with Orientation Apps Mobile players, rejoice: Portrait mode cramps your world map hunts. Favian demos an Android Orientation Control app to force landscape, transforming Evony's interface for smoother scrolling. Why It Works : Open the app, select Landscape, then launch Evony—your world map expands for spotting Arctic Barbarians or pyramids in seconds. iOS equivalent? Search "rotation control" in the App Store; it's a must for 2025's expanded maps post-Update 4.096.0. Bonus : Pairs perfectly with auto-clickers (next tip) for hands-free farming sessions. This tweak shaves hours off daily grinds—essential for time-strapped lords chasing K40+ keeps. 4. Automate Troop Training: Auto-Clicker Hacks for T1 Mass Production Grinding 400M+ T1 mounted? Favian's auto-clicker setup turns tedium into autopilot magic, letting you train overnight while you sleep (or grab a beer). Step-by-Step Setup (Android Example) : Download an auto-clicker app (free on Google Play). Create a new config: Tap "+" on Train button (Step 1), Speed Up (Step 2), Finish All (Step 3). Hit Play— it loops the sequence, churning out troops without you. Favian's got 426M T1s thanks to this; it's a lifesaver for early-game builds. Ethical note: Use responsibly—Evony's TOS frowns on full bots, but this is just UI automation.In 2025, with T16 troops looming, scaling T1 layers fast is key to defense metas. 5. Quick-Heal Layers in SvS: 10K Presets for Free Solo Hits Solo attackers in Battlefield or SvS? Bait them with healable layers. Favian's preset 6: 10K troops per tier across mounted, ground, ranged, and siege. Strategy Breakdown : In Rally Spot > March Presets, set one slot to 10K full tiers. When hit, quick-heal to reset—opponents burn stamina on "free" attacks while you rack points. Ideal for smaller keeps (K30–K38) dodging rallies. This guerrilla tactic shines in 2025's solo-heavy events, turning defense into offense. 7. Bulk-Edit March Presets: Hold for Instant Layer Changes No more manual tweaks! Favian uncovers a hidden gem: Long-press "Full Tiers" in presets to edit all layers at once. How to Use : Preset open? Hold Full Tiers > Enter new amount (e.g., 20K for rallies, 5K for Glory Arena). Applies instantly—saves minutes per event. Perfect for adapting to 2025 shifts like the Ranger Knight Order, where troop comps flip weekly. Favian calls it a "massive advantage" for healers and attackers alike. 7. Time Your Spends: Sulis Wishing Pool for Low-Spender Wins Low spender? (£10–15 fortnightly, per Favian) Don't drop gems blindly—align with Sulis Wishing Pool for shots at 7.2B resources or speedups. Optimal Play : Event live? Buy packs (e.g., Rally Card) to earn Bath Coins, select rewards, and wish. Favian scored 600 Blood of Ares and 8K+ resource chests recently—RNG favors the timed. 2025 Twist : Post-Harvest Festival buffs make pools drop rarer items like Blazons. For F2P, it's free gems disguised as luck. 8. Hoard General Tokens: Save 70–120 for Event Drops Early-game trap: Burning tokens on trash generals. Favian's rule: Stockpile Epic Historic (Premium/Glory) for new releases like Kiso Yoshinaka, where drop rates spike (9–16% vs. 0.46%). Long-Term Strategy : Aim 70–120 tokens (Favian waits for 120 to buffer luck). Target wall/solo generals (e.g., Isaac Brock assists); ascend to 5-star for covenants. Skip weekly opens—prioritize events over Hall fillers. In 2025, with Autumn Ceremony dropping fresh historic gens, patience yields 5-stars faster than impulse pulls. Favian's chasing a wall upgrade over Queen Boudica—smart for solo accounts. 9. Alliance Boss Chests: Save for Rare Civ Gear (3,300 Coins Unlock) Hoard those boss coins—Favian skips junk boxes until 3,300 for Civilization Equipment fragments (e.g., rare Koryo pieces). Why Wait? Yields dominant gear like Pantheon Armor; Favian nabbed two rares for Boudica's set. Months of saving, but RNG can duplicate—still beats commons. 2025 Meta : Civ buffs dominate refines, making this essential for flats vs. % debates. Hoarding = endgame power spikes. Bonus Tip 10 : Build Habits from Day One—You're a Hoarder Like FavianFavian admits: "I'm a hoarder genuinely." Save everything—truces, tokens, coins—for multipliers. Pair with daily logins via the 2025 Maximize Daily Chances guide for 2x yams/stamina. Final Thoughts : Implement These Evony Tips 2025 and Watch Your Empire SoarFrom bubble fails to token triumphs, Favian's tips (plus our expansions) arm you for Evony's 2025 chaos—think Update 5.0.0 QoL boosts and siege meta shakes. Start with 1 today; your keep will thank you. What's your top tip? Drop it in the comments, subscribe for more Evony guides, and check Empire Build Academy on YouTube. Power up, lords—2025 awaits!

In the world of fantasy strategy games, success often hinges on more than just individual skill or powerful armies. Building alliances is a crucial element that can turn the tide of battle and secure your dominance. Whether you are defending your kingdom or expanding your territory, forming strong partnerships with other players can provide strategic advantages that are impossible to achieve alone. The Importance of Alliances in Fantasy Strategy Alliances in fantasy strategy games serve multiple purposes. They allow players to pool resources, share intelligence, and coordinate attacks or defenses. This cooperation can lead to faster growth, better protection, and more effective conquest of enemy territories. For example, in many games, players can send reinforcements to allies under attack or request help during critical moments. This mutual support system creates a dynamic where teamwork is rewarded, and solo players may find themselves at a disadvantage. Key benefits of alliances include: Resource sharing: Allies can trade or gift resources to help each other grow. Joint attacks: Coordinated strikes can overwhelm opponents. Defense support: Reinforcements from allies can save a city or fortress. Information exchange: Sharing intelligence about enemy movements improves strategic planning. By understanding these benefits, players can better appreciate why alliances are often the backbone of successful gameplay in fantasy strategy titles.

Avoid those who frequently go inactive or cause conflicts. Communicate regularly: Use in-game chat, voice apps, or forums to coordinate plans and share updates.
