Excellent as always! I save my resources for development. K34 will be complete next speed up event. K35 will be started shortly after.

[@KingArtoriusTV]

The wall General is not a problem, we have players in my alliance that have 7b to 16b power that has t1 traps.. We spec'd our assistant wall generals with full arch gear just for t1.. Whenever our power drops to around 1b to 3b depending on our normal size, we switch to trap keep.. we heal any lower tier that is needed for cheap and just tank hits for points. Most players with a lot of dragons to spear have the blue debuff dragon specd with flat on their assistant and use them as flat.. Singh did that in all stars season 9 This is how you can play t1 as a big boy size

[@KingArtoriusTV]

In the god mode,, a lot of players on this game don't know how to heal after getting attacked.. as in, there's a particular troop type to heal to stay in the game for a long time, some just hit their whole keep at the go and end up getting zero or giving away points and T1 with good layers is also stupid.

I see so many people using Queen Boudica and tons of t1 mounted. I get the idea horses are faster with more attack and more hit points. But I already have committed to Isaac Brock with full ach gear with mostly all flat refines for ground, one for mounted attack (refines) and one for range attack. I have him as my main wall general and Dewy as my assistant. I have 4 million of each type of t1. Do you think Brock is good enough or should i follow the crowd and go with Queen Boudica and make mostly t1 mounted like everyone else. Stinks i already have the gear though for Brock. And im kinda low on L7 materials atm. Im not really sure what to do or which direction to move forward. I've also been trying to make twice as many t11-t13 than i would typically send on a march so that i have a good amount of high tier troops still left at home to defend. I wonder if i would be better with percentages or flats with that strategy? Im only 650 million keep 34. What would you do Aka if you were me?

I ghost all the top troop types except for about 50k of each. I roll with Jadwiga at main wall gen and Marshall as assistant. My gear is all flat refines and I’m adding more and more ach gear to the sub gens (all ranged attack debuffs). My research on debuffs and troop buffs are maxed at k33, general hall buffs are level 3, and I’ve added red stars to a few of the duty generals that buff in city mounted stats.

[@ynateil]

Aka I would like your opinion on T1 ground or horses. I see that some people are building T1 ground for trap instead of horses. Why do some people go with ground? Im also considering it since I have george dewey and leonidas, I think that it will be suitable. Your valuable input will be highly appreciated!

[@RedEvony]

Basically, the choice of T1s depends a lot on the counter troops. People consider ground T1s to counter ranged attacks, and they do work in that sense. However, from practical use, a lot of people found that T1 mounted troops are more effective at protecting against solo attacks. Building your defense for T1 mounted troops also has the added benefit of protecting your higher level mounted troops, which are usually quite vulnerable. In an ideal situation, you would want both ground and mounted T1s. But practically speaking, you’d be fine whichever your choose, but I think T1 mounted troops will perform better than ground troops 👌

[@ynateil]

@@RedEvony thanks for hasty response Aka! Well the thing about higher tier horses is that they will most probably be ghosted during Svs/KE, so they will not even be vulnerable to begin with. And people usually send archers/ground troops to attack with, almost never using horses. Which is why I’m leaning more towards t1 ground. But after your suggestion, I might start with horses first. I’m a k38 who can still ghost with 5 March slots, So now I’m gonna be starting with building the big army. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@erikvdv2779]

I don't coin at all, and it works great for me. Just don't try this and think you can do everything.....defend, PvP attack, kill Bosses. You need to pick one, unless you coin. I went with T1 ground, but T1 horse is a much better strategy. They absorb all enemy archer attacks until they are gone. Meanwhile, your archers are pinging away without being attacked until all of your cavalry are gone. Devastating.

[@isaiasabinadisosagarcia936]

Is there any particular reason why T1 horses are better than the other types, or are they the same?

[@RedEvony]

Due the the game mechanics, t1 mounted troops seem to be the most effective for this purpose. Other t1s work as well, just not as good, apparently

[@erikvdv2779]

As I mention above, archers prioritize mounted troops above all others. They will keep attacking the horses until they are gone. So when you have 150,000,000, and your opponent has layers of 1,000, your archers melt right through their horse and while the enemy is still pounding on your horses, you are shooting your arrows at their best troops.

It's not why you build T1 wall. If you have 50 million high tier troops with about 100 million T1 troops with 69-72% death to troop souls then you won't lose any higher tier troops even if zeroed completely on your own server. Holy Palace works top to bottom. 70% of 150 million is 105 million. Not only you will save all high tier troops, you won't even lose all T1s. Initially whales were building T1 "walls" for that reason. Then someone "discovered" they act as a defense wall.

Update: I started K35 yesterday and will have it completed next speedup/city-building event. I basically have the same number of troops, just improved troops due to increased technology. Once I finish K35 Academy 35 will be started. And I have all of these resources and assets already in place to grow in whichever direction our alliance needs. Now to figure out what our biggest need is, probably ground layers with Nico going with ranged. It will be nice having that 6th march slot to give me the room in which to grow another attack force (I typically do not play defense, I ghost and 'allow' myself to be force ported). No, I have not coined in over a year. When I did coin I did so for 6 months, about a total of 700 USD averaging about 25 a week basically making up the resources lost from permanently killed troops (mostly due to bubble drop). Thank you for helping me along the way.

Still much cheaper than spending money and still lost all from a hit from 5B keep. I am a no coiner player (never spent on Evony yet). Made my self to K35, 150M T1 traps and top 1-2-2-3-5 in the last 5 SvS, earning more than 2K blood of ares and more than 2M gems already from SvS boxes

[@sangh.m611]

Also I will let you know exactly how much it cost me... 12B food and 12B wood, 1.2M gems and 200K refine stone for refinement. I finished my build in October 2022. There have been 5 SvS ever since in total - I placed 1 (~800K gems), 2 (600K gems), 3 (500K gems), 3 (500K gems) and lately 5 (400K gems) from the SvS rewards. From all the individual points boxes, I got extra 236K gems (x5 SvS = 1180K gems) for 540M points. We won 4 out of the last 5 SvS. Total amount of ares is more than 2K (I don't remember the exact number because it is from both SvS rewards, sharing points and individual points and I already used a lot for upgrading). All these numbers are not yet accounted for RSS rewards, refine and research stones etc So If I didn't build T1 as a F2P, I will never be relevant in SvS or battlefields. I will never be able to ascend a single general. I will never be able to use gems to buy VIP points from auction to reach VIP 15. 12B, 12B wood, 1.2M gems and 200K refine stones are not at all in vain. On the other notes, I have a ground T14, cavs T14 and archer T14 to slap back at any minor come close and leave troops in their keeps I am always naked in front of K38-39 and will only run from a K40 or a rally.

[@RedEvony]

You’ve certainly done well so far 💪💪 and I think that’s great 🙂 As for the cost-benefit of T1s, I think that is quite subjective. Not everyone will be able to get the kind of returns that you have gotten so far. But for those that are interested in following the same path you’ve taken, this is definitely an encouragement. I disagree on the point of whether you would have been relevant or not without the T1s. There are certainly other paths you could have taken, depending on how much effort you were willing to put in, and how much you were willing to risk. And I don’t mean from the standpoint of spending money. I hope you keep finding enjoyment and success in the game 😁👍

[@brunopinard1825]

You say building a T1 defense is expensive but you forgot to say how much more expensive it is to build a high tier defense... Especially if you include the cost of healing after you get hit! If you want to look into the cost criteria, you need to compare building both types of defense and analyze the cost of building the troops buildings (a T1 trap you need low tier so no building cost while if you want to go high tier, you'll probably need t15 to survive a big K40s hit and to build T15, you need to be K40... Or if you want millions of all T14 types then you'll need all troop buildings level 35 and then spend a lot on training T14s and you'll need to increase keep level for research otherwise a big K40 will overpower your buffs by a too large margin reducing your ability survive in defense), the training troop cost (T1s are cheaper to train than high tier troops), the healing costs (healing costs vary based on the trooo tier) and can also dig into the cost of research as well... You'll see that T1 defense is much more cost effective than high tier defense. And overall we can also argue that everything is expensive in Evony! Lol

[@RedEvony]

There are 3 things I’d like to point out. 1. Most people think that building T1s is easy because T1s are cheap to build. Yes, they are cheap to build, but when you are trying to build hundreds of millions of T1s, that is not cheap. 2. Aside from defense, those T1s won’t be used for anything else. Higher tier troops T12-T14 and even T15 you will use for attacking, for killing monsters and also for defending. So you will get much more utility out of those troops than the T1s. 3. Unfortunately, you can’t remain a T1 trap forever. You will eventually grow and you will eventually need higher tier troops. So it’s not just about cost 😉 P.s. You don’t need T15s to survive a hit from a K40 😉👌

@@RedEvony @Red Evony here is my answer to your 3 things you pointed out: 1. From a cost perspective, a T1 defense will be cheaper to build than high tier. Take the cost of 100m T1 and use this exact same budget for high tier and you'll see that your defense will not be as effective and will actually be more costly with healings. To your lower comment, of course you dint need T15s to survive a K40 attack, but to build high tiers defense that can withstand a big K40 attack, you will need more Resources (RSS AND gold that you also need for refining your gears by the way...) to build your high tier than to build your T1 defense whether it is T14 or T15. I have seen a maxed K40 (in my alliance) splat on a k38 2b T1 trap while the same player soloed and zeroed several k38-k39 5b-7b in one attack (no T1 defense). All that to say that to be able to survive big K40 it is much harder if you focus on high tier and % refines than T1 flat refines défense), especially for the same budget. 2. I was only responding to your comment on cost. But on this point, I agree with you. 3. There is a difference between a simple trap (hundreds of millions of T1s and low high tier) that can only take a few solo hits and having a T1 defense that can take many solo hits and some rallies. I play in a big alliance and faced RSP, NEF, CAC, 808, AAD and many other big alliances, played in top 20 svs rankings and we have spent months looking at defense and even the biggest players and alliances of this game have huge amount of T1s. And the players that are the hardest to zero are always those who have a mix between few hundreds of millions T1 and high tier (the mix is VERY expensive). In All-Stars, most guys are built like that now to be able to take big rallies. Some very big players have 2 defense generals (one for high tier with % refine and one with flat refines for low tiers) and switch them once their high tier are gone. If you have the chance to play against Daemon, BK or Northstar like I did, get a scout and you'll see how many T1 they have, you'd be surprised and it's the same with most mid-size and big keeps now. So to answer to your point, at k35 it's key and less expensive (for the same budget) to have a T1 defense if players want to play defense (and not ghost constantly and have sweaty hands when red signal appears lol), the more they grow the more they should add high tier (at mid size they'll need to be technical to ghost some high tiers like Cavs or siege to avoid getting their high tier recked) and then if they have a lot of money to spend, sure they can go crazy with high tier (much more expensive than T1) to have a much better defense with a mix of low tier and high tier, but again this requires much more money. So it really depends on how much players are willing to spend and it depends on your enemy (number of K40s, level of the K40s, rally team vs solo team, etc ), BUT it is first about the cost you're willing to spend to have a strong enough defense to help you survive against any enemy (if you're not a big coiner i would not advise to go high tier but T1 first and then build high tier strategically little by little), especially now farms are being hunted by Evony.

[@thespacesbetweenstudio3346]

great timing. I was building up my t1 ground but i don't think i have enough resources, gems, etc. to full spec out a new wall general with flat refines

[@RedEvony]

Yeah, it can definitely take some time to get all the stuff you need together without coining

[@JosephScorpion]

T1 Cav is more effective than the ground troops

[@Triggerfish70]

Prioritize HP, then defense, and lastly attack.

Hi aka are you free to play and if so can i have some tips on how to get wings and build without coining

[@RedEvony]

I’m a casual coiner, so I do spend a bit occasionally, but not much. As you can see, I’m still Vip 13 😅 I have a few videos on growth, so if you follow those and apply them to your game, that should help. As for wings and SvS, I’m planning on making a video on that, but not sure when that’ll be 😇

[@Churchill867]

[@timpierce110]

Another item to note that if you are going to build all those t1’s you should have 10 army camp’s at their max level, super duty officers on the keep and that troop type you are building. Active skill on the purple dragon (if you have it) to increase training speed as well as civ treasure and monarch gear. A k37 should be able to train at least 70k t1 at a time.

[@RedEvony]

Those would certainly help, but they are tough pre-requisites for a lot of players to put together 😅 I’m not big on pumping troops out, and I can only train about 14K troops at a time 😅😂

[@TheBagarali]

Some misinformation. You can get your wings without spending penny with right strategy with T1's. Without T1 you need to spend good amount of money. Having said that, I still don't like that the game mechanics allow people to do this. To me they are just act like just a scum bag (not because they are F2P), they cannot do that without others running rallies for them since they don't invest anything on high tier CAVS.

[@RedEvony]

You need to be careful about what you call "Misinformation". I myself, and many other people, have gotten their wings without having T1s. T1s are not a necessity for you to get wings. Spending is also not a necessity. Different factors, like the age of your server or how many big players are on the server, will impact the difficulty of getting wings, but it is certainly possible without T1s or massive spending.

[@IamEnygma]

You forgot to mention that building T1s automatically means you will never again be able to ghost all your troops.

T 1 only good for svs there is another thing you can zero players who have t1 its secert game

[@RedEvony]

Yeah, T1s are helpful for point based PvP.

[@palevelmode]

The way you explain it have sense but it hurtful in my ears you might took it on incorrect perspective, Genghis coined that T1 trap is the new "Coin Strike" he said it the with a reason. So T1 trap true benefits favors more the F2P than coiners. Also, not having proper defense means you are ghosting all the way. So you have your shiny PVP generals with their maxed refines and gears, all ascended then you attack a keep and won. Now you are marching back valiantly then here comes Evony f*ck up with you. An opponent catches you march back, but you cannot ghost n time because Evony decided to messed up with you using their secret techniques called "LAG" then your troop got zeroed big time. 2nd thing, as an F2P which K4 and below, you saying to wait so we can build T13 and T14 which are 1000x costly than 8B food/wood (8B food if you decide to have t1 ground). I can go on lots of benefits. I guess I stop here now, makes no sense to explain more. Good video btw.

Hi 😊👋

[@wrekt-em]

Shame on you aka, you did not cover layers, ie t2, t3… of coarse your not a fan, its hard to beat. Another thing you did not cover was ghosting your higher tier troops.. also you did not tell ppl that when refining, you have 2 pieces of gear, thats 8 refines, the helmet and the leg armor which cover hp. You do not necessarily have to use all those as flats you could make 4 of them flats the other 4 as percentages. A hybrid if you will. This is a way to stop high coiners from coming in and just molly whopping you with one tap. And finally yes it's it expensive to build? Yes, but evony is an ever increasingly expensive game. Let's face it. Also it is a lot cheaper if you were to compare making 100m t1 to making 100m t13. Simple math will show that. This is simply a way for low or non coiners to fight back and have a chance of survival. Why would you want to crush their dreams of having a chance?

[@ramboalt4520]

You are moron it too new too game, he is not bashing non coiners.......Evony is drug and it is up to you how much you are willing to invest, at the end of the day if you want to grow you can't just sit here with T1s. He is only pointing out pro vs cons . This is excellent video

[@arashnanbakhsh3067]

I was going to write the same! Beyond everything that you said also it is the best way to get blood of ares in svs. All our t1 trap get to top10 if not top5 every event while others struggle. Only problem is that after 9 months it gain too popularity and people don’t send blindly anymore!

[@RedEvony]

All the topics that you mentioned: Layers, Ghosting, Higher Tier troops, Refining, I have covered extensively in other videos. My video on how to build a good defense, which goes beyond T1s, is linked at the end of this video for anyone interested. And of course, you can easily find all those videos just doing a quick browse on the channel 👍 The focus of this video is simply T1s. As I mentioned in the video, it is for anyone that is considering building lots of T1s to know the pros and cons before they fully commit to doing it. There are a lot of misconceptions about the T1 defense and I just wanted to clear up a few things. Imo, yes the t1 defense can be difficult to beat, IF you don’t know how to beat it or if you don’t scout and pay attention. I agree that it is definitely a way for low coiner players or F2P players to protect themselves, but it is not indestructible, and it is not as cheap to do as some people perceive. Finally, I am in no way trying to crush anyone’s hope of playing or enjoying Evony. Much of what I’m doing here is to help people get better at the game. And I hope that part is clear 😇

[@wrekt-em]

@@RedEvony i have seen all of your videos and been watching along time, i am aware of your videos on layering ghosting and the rest. My point is i run Zach Taylor and gwangetto as an assistant. So my defense is ranged and siege and if you manage to get thru that, congratulations you have just run into a t1 trap, happy splatting. And if your low level like me (k33) most k35 are cocky and arrogant and see you are a k33 and think i can take him and don't bother scouting, wrong answer. It's very effective and works well especially if you know how to annoy and bait ppl into doing what you want 😊 so don't think just because you have more tech you have me beat. It's always best to scout but in the time you do that i may have someone your size lurking and waiting to tap you. This is what I'm saying you never know what you may run into so scout first if your able otherwise bubble up buttercup

That report was someone who was using t1 traps the wrong way, t1s are undefeatable if you know how to use them and if you have a big keep it’s always good to have a second round of defenses

There are several reports in the video, as well as a report from someone with 1 Billion T1 cavs. Sorry to say but T1s are not undefeatable. That is precisely the notion I was trying to address.
