NPC/Farming research

This page is for posting your successful ballista numbers for attacking NPCs. It is not for discussion or posting personal observations. All of that goes on the Discussion page.

Note: Do not post links to battle reports as they are removed from Evony servers during daily maintenance.

Reports for safe numbers of warrior

This section is reserved for reporting the fewest ballistas used to successfully attack a Barbarian (NPC) Town with no losses.

• When adding reports, please mention the number of rounds the fight took, your Archery level, horseback riding level, military tradition level, and hero attack value.
• Please do NOT report attacks using War Horn, Corselet, or other special influence.
