Thank you. Everyone says ghost ghost ghost but nobody wants to tell how to do it. Thank you so much. You would think something so easy they would be willing to tell you how to do it.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW CLEARLY YOU JUST EXPLAINED THAT!!!!!!!!! Everybody else I ever asked about this (a thing they constantly say....."make sure you ghost your troops! Ghost. Ghost!" Lol) has not even explained it well enough for me to even do it once!
Evony Guides They found it very helpful. This week is our first svs which is why I was tryn to explain ghosting troops plus we were slotted for BOG as well. You’re video came just at the right time!
Can you please explain how to BOG and BOC for beginners ? I do good as far as declaring war and sending my troops away from city , then what ? I don’t know what to do after that ...... all my troops are out but I don’t know the next step .i sit there stuck with 60 minutes rallies without knowing what to do so I don’t get zeroed in a minute . Thank you , an avid beginner .
I will have separate videos for those in future, but for now i can answer questions here! When entering the battlefield you will need to go to the map view and go to the opposite corner of where you started to find your enemies. After five minutes (1:55 on the timer) the battle will start! Feel free to ghost your troops on their cities or quickly teleport out to a building to take it with one troop (to be safe) and then ghost your troops on an enemy building by going back to the map view and finding a red icon OR go back to the area where they started (in the corner) to find an enemy to ghost on! The most important buildings are the Battlefield hospital, The Knights Hall and portals. The hospital helps healing, the knights hall breaks the defenses of the enemy and the portals give your team extra chances at teleporting around to different buildings! To increase your score battle it out with your enemies and reinforce teammates if absolutely necessary (be careful!). You can also get points by reinforcing a building (even if with one troop!). It may get boring after a while when there is a bit of a stalemate, although always be careful because if someone spam attacks your to forcibly move your city to a new location, your troops will no longer be hidden. The last important note is that you must be aware that as your armies return to your city, or sit in a building, you will be very vulnerable and cannot teleport!
@@EvonyGuides Thank you but what I'm asking is will I get points if someone zero's all my troops? I saw another RU-vidr saying now the BoC scoring is broken - enemy players show up in their battles and just sit there waiting to be attached by them and zero'ed and the enemy players get points for that.
Ghosting hides your troops, gathering resources does the opposite. You should never send your troops outside of your city as a means of making them harder to hit, even if you recall them, your opponent will attack you when they return. If you are in your alliance area and for some reason need to be unbubbled you may hide your troops in the alliance resource tile though
If you are bubbled, teleport next to someone and then bubble again as soon as your attack hits their city, you will stand a better chance of not losing any troops. You should ghost your extra troops anyway as a precaution.
@@mafisco1 That is true however you can ghost your spare troops and speed attack/speed return your troops and then ghost that march when they get back. This is because trying to teleport away will require you recall all marches which is risky
I don't get ghosting. Whenever I set this up it says I can't use the teleport until the troops are recalled. There's no one else in the rally and my troops haven't left the city. I don't get it.
I mean i dont know what to tell you if you believe you are doing it correctly but the troops are still in the city because that cannot happen unless it is due to lag. You set a 60 minute rally with all of your troops on any target you can and then your troops will disappear. You cannot teleport when you have rallies active and must recall them first from the map view with the arrow icon next to the rallies.
I agree. If you're on the battle field, you can't afford to wait 60 minutes. You're basically protecting your troops, which is a defensive maneuver. The downside is, you can't attack anything else, which brings me to the question: What's the point? If you're on the battlefield, your goal is to score points, not hide. If you're ghosting, then I assume it's only temporary. How do you know when it's safe to go on the offensive again?
If you are 10m power and their biggest player is 100m there is zero point trying to be smart for minimal points, especially if you have large players too. If you mess up and die you are out of the fight unless you mass heal and it makes it harder for your big players to win the game for you. If you can become good at attacking players/teleporting around quickly while still managing to instantly ghost again when your troops return (preferably speed march) you can still get the best of both worlds but it is still risky. The best thing to do is to keep 10k troops out to spam attack buildings across the map, unless you have no marches then its going to be hard. Unfortunately trying to have fun in battlefield is very hard unless you are a bigger player and able to fight without ruining the fight for your team
I’m a bit confused If I set to ghost for 60 mins by setting a march v an enemy keep or boss doesn’t this mean in 60 mins they will attack them? Am I missing something? I understand why you want to ghost though but I don’t necessarily want to attack anyone
Yes this is the case, the reason to use the highest possible time limit is that you do not have to reset them often. These marches can be recalled at any time prior to the 60 minutes countdown finishing, then done once again. It of course needs to be reset and you will never need to attack these targets. These rallies may be reset by clicking the blue arrow icon next to each march that has been set.
so you hide all the troops you don't want to take to attack the person you will port next to? why not just use your full army top attack incase you lose? I'm new so still learning.
When attacking someone you may have more troops than you're able to send. Therefore hiding them is a good option in case they counter attack you while your best troops are out of the city. Furthermore you might find bigger players port next to you and attack you also. When hiding troops you will have a better chance of being able to sit still and not have to panic so much to port away to save yourself from such attacks, as they cannot kill anything anyway
Sometimes those troops in Subordinate cities start dying a lot and the general in the Subordinate city can die.. if your main city was attacked, and not the Subordinate city they would have died due to you having them ticked on to fight in the defense of your main city and vice versa. You can turn this off in the Subordinate city tab if you wanted, you can also revive them in the shrine buildings with stones or waiting the timer for each dead general
You ghost your troops right after attacking somebody, or before depending on the particular situation. You never attack people from a distance unless you are going to speed up the attack to less than 15 seconds. The ghosting part is to ensure you can prevent your remaining troops from dying, as simply waiting for your march to return and teleporting away is not a good idea
@@EvonyGuides You spent 60 stamina ghosting your troops. If you had just attacked someone, you may not have enough stamina to ghost all of them. Then you would have to consume stamina just to ghost. Isn't it easier to bubble after attacking somebody instead of ghosting?
@@rodneywallace4958 you can just ghost on someones city that takes no stamina or anything, you can bubble but only after your march begins to return so ghosting spare troops is needed just in case
If you are in a bubble you are safe. If you plan to attack others you can hide excess troops so you don't lose anything while unbubbled for PvP battles. If you plan to be unbubbled for a while before eventually attacking someone, you can hide all troops so even if you get blindsided by an enemy they still can't kill you. This is a required tactic to use, it is not optional if you want to play the game properly. The only time you don't need this is when you have so many troops (millions) that you cant possibly hide them, therefore are forced to not ghost anymore.. however very few players are in this category unless they have played a year or two plus
@@EvonyGuides But still the city is vulnerable without bubble and the resources can be plundered, right? Ghosting can't actually prevent your city's resources from getting plundered, only your troops from getting killed/wounded, which would actually make the attacker's job easier without those ghosted troops being able to defend the city, if I'm not mistaken?
Dear, thank you so much for your videos. Have a question about your ressources while you are ghosting. Even if your soldiers are hide to ennemies it seems you can still loose a lot of your ressources. Is that wrong ?
The bunker was not a feature when this video was released. You are correct that the bunker is an excellent alternative although of course is limited in quantity it may protect at a time
@@EvonyGuides Hi there, can I first say that I think your videos are really good, clear & so very helpful. Thank you so much. I ask about the research factory as I've never investigated it & you provide such great background information & tactics. Its so easy to make mistakes in this game without fully understanding it! I think you have a video about everything else ! I've reached level 21 on almost everything in my city now so will check it out. Re ghosting, you mention that you can click the blue arrow next to each march to bring your troops back. Whenever I've pressed those arrows the game wants me use a return pack. I dont seem to have many of these & so will have to pay out some gems to use it. Is this what you do? Can I ask you something else. Most of the resource tiles outside my keep walls are used so that I have several mines, ore, army camps, farms & lumber which tend to be at different levels. Am I right in thinking that providing you have one at the same level as your keep your other lower levels dont hinder your growth or should I focus on getting everything at the same level? Your strategic thoughts would be welcome. Thanks Steve
@@stevenjf Choosing Resource production buildings is important to ensure you are complimenting what you are gathering on the world map, this only matters in the amount of each building you choose to have. It is of course recommended to upgrade these as much as possible however having some a lower level is not going to affect other buildings. Recalling troops that are already returning to your city will cost a troop speedup item/gems however troops that are occupying a tile, building or rallying an enemy/boss monster do not cost anything to recall. The arrows that im talking about face this way
@@IAMELECTRIC1 I personally have them all set to one troop for alliance rallies on bosses. I only change them to other options when I plan to attack bosses myself for a few hours or change them during SvS etc when appropriate. I find using them all for a specific use at a time enables flexibility and ease of use when time can be crucial
this video was made prior to the bunker being implemented into the game, yes it does protect troops. Although ghosting still may protect many more at a time.
@@EvonyGuides Just so I understand correctly, my 60 minute rally on a dead Boss or teleported enemy Keep continues to be active? The reason I thought it wouldn't is because during BoC, it looked like an enemy Keep was using my Keep as a ghosting rally - my screen was flashing red and there was a purple march line from the enemy Keep to my Keep. When I teleported, my screen stopped flashing and the purple march line disappeared.
@@bluefil7181 A real march or a rally against your city will disappear on your screen but they will still be active unless cancelled. However, they will end up hitting an empty tile. If you teleport away and a teammate teleports in the space you left, they can take a hit for you for instance
Thank you for the video.. Explained ghosting very well. My question is.. Does alliance city go any higher than level 3? If yes.. How? My alliance is trying to figure this out. Thank you!
@@EvonyGuides Thank you for your reply. One more please.. I've seen alliances at level 3 with a population of 120. Our alliance is topped at 90. How is that? Is there something we aren't understanding?
Hi , so if I used the boss monster method to ghost my troops will I be able to cancel or not cause I didn’t understand clearly. And if I Ghost my troops and someone attacks me would that still affect me or not ? .
You may cancel at any time by going to the world map and clicking the arrow icon next to the marches. This will return the march to your city and they will become vulnerable again. If someone were to attack you anything that is hidden will be fine however resources and so on may be at risk. Also if your city is force teleported by being attacked multiple times (up to ten times) then your marches will automatically be recalled and will need to be ghosted again ASAP
Thanks for this video.. I have still one question: How to ghost all your troops if you have 1.4m troops and only 4 slots for marches with a maximum of 250k troops.
If you do not want to use or cannot use march size increase buffs from within your keep you will be unable to ghost all of your troops. Depending on your situation when wanting to ghost troops, it may even be best to not ghost at all unless you can upgrade your march capacity to hide them all. I am assuming, given the disparity in your march capacity, slots and actual troop number that you are around keep 26 and have far too many troops of low tiers so do consider (if im correct) getting rid some of the lower tiers that you do not need for the time being.
