                             The Elf story

Elves are the air spirits of northern origin. They belong to the dwarf family.
Elves help dwarves forge in caves as well as in caves. Like the dwarfs, they symbolize the dark forces, although the elves are of a more poetic, "higher" nature.

How to recognize an elf?

They do not exceed the size of an inch but their strength is great: they can lift the biggest rock without the slightest effort! Their faces are white and pure. They say that the rays of the moon make up the threads of their clothes ... They wear glass or crystal sandals at their feet. Know that whoever finds a sandal will be rich, indeed: the owner of the shoe will buy it at any price.

Where do the elves live?

Elves reside in tree stumps and roots. They make their tents out of sheets. They flit from plants to plants and from flowers to flowers.

What do elves eat?

Elves feed on morning dew and honey from flowers.

What are the elves doing?

At night, elves are used to dancing in circles under the lime trees. At the foot of the lime tree, they form a green circle. If they see careless passengers approaching the circle, they grab them and force them to enter the circle: this is generally fatal for new arrivals.
Also, treading the green circle causes serious illness or death.
Elven women are renowned for their evening songs and dances on the hills, their pure beauty and the softness of their voices. However, beware! It is said that their eyes freeze the heart and that their kisses are fatal.
Elves, men and women, suck on children's fingers and thus hinder their growth. But fear not: according to the traditions of Guernsey, it is stipulated that if a child offers a cake to an elf, he will receive at his majority a dowry (if the child is a girl) or a boat (if the child is a boy).

How to protect yourself from elves?

Elves abhor the smell of valerian fumigation

In Germany, elves are considered to be fairies' husbands. They are excellent for turning spindles and discovering buried treasures…
Icelandic legend says that elves are ruled by a viceroy. Each year, the viceroy travels to Norway to renew his oath of homage to the sovereign lord residing in the same homeland.

The domovoy.

In Russia, there is the ‘domovoy‘. He’s a domestic elf. How to domesticate it? A head of the family offers a red egg to an elf: it allows the spirit to take human form and to remain still: it is domesticated.

 

 

 

 

 

1. First Arrivals Rule - The Elf adopt the principal of "first arrival wins", in Elgea and especially in Broken Lands with its long distance transit times. In any cases where two or more cities arrive by Exodus, Tenaril, or settlement at a new location and land within a 10 square radius of Eärwen city then the first arrival, not the first to launch, wins the spot. Arrival times can be proved by system messages in a dispute. Late arrivals shall be expected to relocate as soon as the game mechanics permits or submit to voluntary razing at their discretion.

2. The 10 square rule -  Don't settle within 10 squares of my cities without my permission. Please 'ask first',  my great commanders are allowed to send an army to kill your army and raze your city without warning.  If I can claim full sovereignty for my own city (often the 20 squares closest to it), your alliance isn't openly hostile towards my alliance or its confederates, and you are sweet, I most likely won't mind.

3. Harvesting Code of Conduct:

   1) You are welcome to harvest any resource near my towns. No sense it going to waste. If my harvesters get off their lazy butts and decide to do something, they may bump you. If your harvesters bring an army, my harvesters may bring an army.  Do not kill NPC on my sov without my permission.

   2) Outside of my territory, my harvesters might be found gathering whatever is not occupied. Never will they intentionally bump someone who is already harvesting although it has occasionally happened because of timing, stupidity, or inebriation. 

   3) If you have any conflict with my harvesters, just let me know. I will gladly send you the harvest. I prefer my harvesters out working for you instead of sitting at the tavern drinking my beer.

   4) This is a game. If mutilating my harvesters with your army adds to your enjoyment of the game, go ahead, I really don't mind.  But don't forget : "Never do to others what you don't want to be done to you."

   5) If you claim that soveriegnty, 100 X 100 squares, phase of the moon, bad movie reviews, psychological problems, lost pets, or a nasty disposition gives you an exclusive right to allow an unharvested plot to simply rot away, please refer to Code #3 or #4.

4. Have fun !!! That's the most important thing in Illyriad. [@i=5|692]

• Tavern Quests and Their Discoveries

Two discoveries can be made in each town through doing pre-made quests. There are two levels to these quests, and each level has its own discovery. Level one is trade quests, leading to the discovery Block and Tackle, which gives +20% to loading speed when harvesting resources. Level two is diplomatic quests, and this gives the Inquisitive Populace discovery – +2 visibility for incoming hostile diplomats.

A step by step guide on how to complete quests can be found here, and a list of all available quests and their rewards here.

•  Famine Management

The Famine Management discovery was once a tightly held secret. This discovery is only available once you have obtained your 10th town, and gives a 10% increase to food production in your capital only.

1. Basics

Name	Short Explanation
Research	For Infantry everything from Conscription to Elite Guards For Cavalry everything from Call to arms to Elite Squadron 5 commanders: Military tree > Conscription (2nd), Call to Arms (3rd), Standing Army (4th), Warcraft (5th)
Troop type	Cavalry for plains and small hills Infantry for every other terrains
Commander	T2 infantry or T2 cavalry to match troops, and all commanders same type
Commander points	10 points in Heroism
Army set up	5 divisions, 5 commanders, 61 T2 troops (57/1/1/1/1)
Gear	Terrain gear on commanders only (cheap and works well) Moonshatter gear on commanders only

And you are good to go! (at least in most cases :)

If you want more details on why, check the rest of the guide.

 

2. Commanders

With the research in the Military tree you can have up to 5 commanders alive per town (no limit on dead/retire ones).

Since we are all about attack power, T2 commanders are a must as they have the highest attack output. My hunting armies attack output comes mostly from the commanders (~90% of the total attack power), so we'll be focusing on them first.

When you kill NPCs or other player troops, your commanders earn experience points. The calculation is rather simple: each troop have a experience value attached to it, you multiply that by the number you killed and you got the total experience earnt. You then devide that by the number of commanders, and you'll get the experience each commander earnt. You can then assign those points to different traits in the commander page.

Note: Some people in GC mentioned that Division Bonus is better than Heroism for newer player. As show on that spreadsheet that is wrong for any reasonnable player, take heroism first (ALWAYS).

 

Heroism

Let's start by mentioning the most important bonus for attack: Heroism. Each level your commander has, will add the attack of the troop he is based on 6 times.

Commander attack multiplier with 10 heroism:

(10 x 6) + 1 = 61

61 times the base attack. In the case of Human T2 cavalry , the attack is:

65 x 61 = 3,965

To activate the full power of heroism, you need at least the same power in troops in your army, so you'll need 61 knigts or 108 charioteers (3965/37= 107.1, the 37 is the base attack power of charioteers ).

You are free to distribute these troops along the different divisions of your army, but do not break the Elite bonus for your division. Also at least 1 troop need to be under each commander. I usually do:

5 commanders: 57/1/1/1/1 (57 in first division and 1 in each other)
4 commanders: 58/1/1/1
3 commanders: 59/1/1
2 commanders: 60/1

 

Division Attack Bonus

For pure attack bonus, the second important commander trait is the Division attack bonus.

Troop Type	Division attack bonus
Spears	Close Quarter Penetration: increase the attack of spear commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com)
Infantry	Bloodlust: increase the attack of sword commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com)
Ranged	Concentrated Fire: increase the attack of bow commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com)
Cavalry	Charge: increase the attack of cavalry commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com)

 

Other Traits

For hunting the other bonuses are purely for convinience.

If you plan on hunting often with the same Army, you can spend some points into Vitality & Accelerated Healing. That will help maintaining the commanders alive, and reduce the chance to have the troops coming back with their dead bodies.

If you hunt a bit far from your town, you can spend some points into Forced March (up to 50% bonus speed for commander and troops in the division).

Be aware that the higher level is your commander, the longer and more expensive it costs to revive it, affecting your capabilities of hunting in case of casualities.

 

Elite Divisions

In Illyriad their are 2 types of division: Normal Division and Elite Division. Commanders and troops in Elite division, receive a double bonus from the equipment they are wearing.

In general for hunting you want to have the maximum possible number of Elite Divisions, as that improve greatly the power of our Heroic Commanders.

A division becomes Elite when you put less than the maximum number of same type troop under a commander. Here are the numbers:

Troop Type	Max Troop in Division for Elite
Spears	200
Infantry	150
Ranged	100
Cavalry	60

You can see if your divisions are elites here and check if the star light up (Elite: yellow , not Elite: grey).

 

Commanders & Gear

Now that we have our commanders operational with heroism activated, let's talk about equiping them. To simplify the explaination here, I'm gonna take the case of hunting with terrain specific gear. If you want to calculate with different equipment, just change the gear attack bonus in the following calculations.

Let's calculate our bonus with Plainsman's Spear, Plainsman's Chainmail and Heavy Warhorse 

60% + 60% + 5% = 125%

Since we are hunting in elite division, the total bonus is

125% x 2 = 250% = 2.5

The attack bonus is therefore:

3,965 x 2.5 = 9,912.5

and the total attack:

3,965 + 9,912.5 = 13,877.5

 

Commanders, Terrain & other bonuses

Our commanders are now geared and with 10 points in Heroism, so let's calculate our final attack score by incorporating the remaining bonuses we can have: Terrain, Division attack, Biome & Prestige.

I put 15 point in charge, I'm attacking on plain, not using prestige and no biome bonus:

15% + 30% + 0% + 0% = 45% = 0.45

That correspond to:

13,877.5 x 0.45 = 6,244.875 attack

The grand total attack for our Elite commander is:

13,877.5 + 6,244.5 = 20,122.375

 

Commanders Summary

I went through the whole calculation previously but you can simplify it with this formula:

Elite: ([base atk] x 61) x (1 + 2 x ([equip bonus])) x (1 + [other bonuses])
Not Elite: ([base atk] x 61) x (1 + [equip bonus]) x (1 + [other bonuses])

You can verify that by plugging in the values used previously:

Elite: (65 x 61) x (1 + (2 x 1.25)) x (1 + 0.45) = 3,965 x 3.5 x 1.45 = 20,122.375
Not Elite: (65 x 61) x (1 + 1.25) x (1 + 0.45) = 3,965 x 2.25 x 1.45 = 12,935.81

 

3. Army Attack Score

Let's start by calculating our troops output, I'll take again the same example, 61 T2 human cavalry, no gear. We got:

61 x (65 x 1.45) = 61 x 94.25 = 5749.25 attack

So now we can calculate our total army attack output

5 commanders: (5 x 20122.375) + 5749.25 = 106,361.125 (94.5% from com)
4 commanders: (4 x 20122.375) + 5749.25 = 86,238.75 (93.3% from com)
3 commanders: (3 x 20122.375) + 5749.25 = 61,116.375 (91.3% from com)
2 commanders: (2 x 20122.375) + 5749.25 = 45,994 (87.5% from com)

As you can see, the large majority of the total army attack comes from the commanders alone, and equiping troops will not improve the total output by much, but considerably increase the cost of hunting.

2 geomancers(2 plots, upkeep 1400 wood, 4600 clay, 3000 stone; need one city with these for every 6-7 in a cluster, alliancemates can cover for each other and make sure you add resource increase buildings as needed)

  You can only tenarill ONCE  

 

Tenaril's or The Ultimate Teleportation

This spell allows you to move any city, but only one city.

It costs nothing to cast and you can only use it once so you must choose your target location very carefully.

If you wish to move, there are various restrictions on how and when you can do so, and the restrictions are available here.

• Nobody attacks with spears.
• Spears have terrible bow defense.
• Bows defend better than they attack.
• Infantry is a flexible attacker.
• Nothing beats attacking cavalry on plains.
• Cavalry sucks at defense.
• Most unit types are equivalent across the races.
• t2 spears are superior to t1 spears for production.
• t2 infantry is superior to t1 infantry for production.
• t1 bows are mostly equivalent to t2 bows for production.
• t2 cavalry is superior to t1 cavalry for production, BUT...

 

What else ...

 

• Elven marshals are the best cavalry in the game.
• Sentinels are just as good as trueshots.
• t2 infantry is the best attacker on all terrains except plains.
• t2 infantry beats bows on all terrains.
• Most spear units are lame at infantry defense.
• Stalwarts and fangs are particularly vicious.
• Infantry is only adequate at defending buildings and forests.
• Kobolds are little monsters.
• The backbone of any proper siege camp is kobolds and sentinels.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
