Ranged Troop PvP Configuration

Ranged troops are a crucial unit in Evony, excelling at taking out mounted troops from a distance and offering high attack potential in PvP battles. This guide explores how to optimize your ranged troop configurations for maximum effectiveness in SvS and battlefield scenarios.

Layering Your Ranged Troops

Effective layering is essential for creating a strong ranged troop march. The general strategy involves allocating the majority of your march to the highest tiers, while including smaller amounts of lower tiers to absorb damage and add versatility.

Ranged Troop Dynamic Troop Layering Tool

Use the tool below to generate an optimized ranged troop layering configuration for your ranged troops. Simply input your highest-tier troop size and march size, and the tool will calculate the recommended distribution.

Instructions for using the tool

1. Select your highest ranged troop tier:

   Use the input field labeled "Maximum Troop Level" to select the highest troop tier in your ranged troop march. The value ranges from 1 to 16, with the default set to 14 for most advanced troop configurations.

2. Enter your total march size:

   In the "Total March Size" field, input the total number of troops available for your march. This value represents the full capacity of the march you are planning.

3. Set the non-ranged troop allocation:

   Input the number of non-ranged troops (e.g., ground, mounted, siege) allocated to each level in the "Non-Ranged Troops Per Level" field. The default is 10,000 troops per level, but you can adjust this based on your strategy.

4. Adjust the top three tier allocations:

   Use the sliders to customize the percentage allocation for the top three ranged troop tiers (e.g., T14, T13, T12). The default settings are 45% for the top tier, 23% for the second tier, and 10% for the third tier. The total allocation for these tiers should not exceed 90%, leaving at least 10% for lower tiers but you can manipulate the tool to your own preference.

   • Drag the "Top Tier Allocation" slider to set the percentage for your highest tier.
   • Use the "Second Tier Allocation" slider to adjust the percentage for your second tier.
   • Modify the "Third Tier Allocation" slider to allocate a percentage to your third tier.

5. Generate your ranged troop layering configuration:

   Click the "Generate Troop Layers" button. The tool will calculate the troop distribution based on your inputs and display the results in a detailed table below.

6. Review your ranged troop configuration:

   The output table will show a complete breakdown of your troop layering, including the level, type (ranged, ground, mounted, siege), percentage allocation, and number of troops for each tier. Use this data to optimize your ranged troop PvP march for maximum performance.

Ranged Troop Layering Strategy

Use the steps below to build an optimized layered march for ranged troops. These tips will help you allocate troops effectively to maximize damage output while minimizing losses:

1. Allocate the majority of your troops to the top tiers:

   Focus on your top three tiers (e.g., T14, T13, T12) to ensure your highest-level ranged troops are dealing the most damage.

2. Include smaller amounts of lower-tier troops:

   Use lower-tier ranged troops to absorb damage, keeping your higher-tier troops alive longer to deal maximum damage.

3. Add a small number of other troop types:

   Ground, mounted, and siege troops can help absorb hits and support your ranged troops by distracting enemy forces.
