Evony: T13 Solo Siege March

Introduction

• Focus on T13 Solo Siege March strategy in Evony.
• Strategy has evolved over time; not widely discussed outside elite levels of play.
• Previously, it involved maxing out T13 troops, but now it's more nuanced due to low-level troop exploitation.

General Overview

• T13 used to dominate Siege for both rallies and solos.
• Now, low-level troops (T1-T4) impact Siege strategies due to their range characteristics.
• High-level players (10-11 billion power, K40 or less) are more susceptible to Siege blinds.
• Key point: Solo Siege can be profitable even without scouting.

Key Concepts

Siege Ranges and March Setup

• Siege Range:
  • T15: 2178 range
  • T14 and T13: 1867 and 1711 range
  • T5-T4: Drop to 1556 and 400 range
• Troop Composition:
  • Mix of T15, T14, T13, and T12 based on specific percentages.
  • Example: For a 5 million march (with T15s):
    • T15: 5% (~285,000)
    • T14: 10% (~570,000)
    • T13: 50% (~2,500,000+)
    • T12: 35% (~2,000,000)

Strategy

• Low Siege ranges (T1-T4) make cities susceptible to powerful Siege attacks.
• Players avoid targeting cities with high T13 counts (15-20 million+).
• T12 added to marches to effectively counter T1-T4 troops due to range efficiency.

Defense Against Siege

• Don't stock Siege troops if you're not participating in regular Siege rallies.
• Hide Siege troops or keep minimal Siege to avoid becoming an easy target.

Practical Example

• Real-world examples showing effectiveness of a well-composed Siege march.
• Emphasis on leveraging underutilized Siege capabilities for strategic advantage.

Conclusion

• The tactics for successful T13 Solo Siege marches have evolved.
• Adjustments in troop composition and understanding Siege ranges are crucial.
• The strategic deployment of troops can significantly impact outcomes in SVS and Battlefield scenarios.
