The quickest way to increase power in Evony is by playing the game on a regular basis and by training troops.
To progress in Evony: The King’s Return players have to complete quests, defeat monsters, attack other players, increase their power and participate in events.
On the official Evony Discord server, several players have wondered what the quickest way is to increase their power, as it is one of the methods that they can use to progress in the game.

Fortunately, there are numerous methods that you can use to increase your power quickly. Evidently, the best way to increase your power in Evony is to play the game more regularly.
For example, a Monarch who plays Evony on a daily basis will have more power than a player who only plays Evony once a week.
Generals can also increase your power, but you have to increase their level, cultivate their attributes and improve their specialities.
If you complete these activities, their General Power will increase by a small amount, however, the small amounts will have a big influence on your Monarch power.
Additionally, you can increase your Power by training troops. For every troop type that you train, you will gain a specific amount of Monarch power. The amount of power you earn depends on the level of the troop you train.
You can also increase your power by completing Research in your Academy. That being said, the research is hugely important for economic and player-versus-player buffs, but in terms of power, the returns are extremely low.
The quickest ways that you can increase your power is by playing Evony more regularly, upgrading your Generals and training different troops.
Troops
For every Troop you train, you will gain a certain amount of power, and the power that you gain will be determined by the level of the troops that you train:
Level | Power added |
2 | 2.70 |
4 | 4.92 |
6 | 6.64 |
8 | 16.34 |
10 | 29.79 |
12 | 53.63 |
14 | 122.00 |
16 | 230 |
If you are playing on a new server, we recommend that you do not train low-level troops as they will quickly become redundant, which means that you will have wasted your resources.
We advise Monarchs to use a Troop Cost Calculator to determine what the cost will be to train a certain quantity of each troop type and how much power you will gain from it.
Construction
Once you have gathered enough resources, you can construct and upgrade buildings in your keep.
It is worth noting that upgrading a building will yield some powerful gains, but they are considered incredibly low when compared to other methods.
Although you will not gain a lot of power by upgrading a building, we advise you not to neglect upgrades, as this is the key to unlocking better troops.
Players should therefore upgrade their troop buildings regularly to be able to train new troop types, which will have a great influence on your overall power.
Alliances
Although you can progress Evony without joining an Alliance, this is not recommended. There are specific activities that can only be enjoyed if you are part of an Alliance.
If you are part of an Alliance, you can participate in Alliance Rallies, for which the entire Alliance has to work together to vanquish a powerful boss on the world map. If you defeat the boss, you will receive an abundance of rewards, including power.
To join an Alliance, you have to click on the “Alliance” icon, which is on the right side of the main menu. You can either search for a specific Alliance by typing its name in the search bar or you can scroll through the list to find an Alliance.
Keep in mind that you have to apply to be part of an Alliance. This means that your application could be rejected or approved.
How to train troops
One of the quickest ways to increase your power is by training troops. Players should note that every troop type is trained in specific buildings.
To train siege machines, you have to open the Workshop, while ground troops can be trained in the Barracks. To train ranged troops, you have to open the Archer Camp and mounted troops can be trained in the Stables.
Once you have identified the troop that you want to train, open the corresponding building and select the level of the troop that you want to train.
Players can choose to either train the troops instantly in exchange for gems, or train them over time. For every troop type you train, you will receive power.
