Evony Battle of Chalons: C6 Prelims and Rally Coordination

During the preliminary rounds of the Battle of Chalons in Evony, C6 players must maintain an active, unshielded "stand up" presence on the front lines to maximize alliance scoring. Instead of remaining shielded, your primary job is to scout enemy keeps, identify weak or poorly layered defenders, and initiate coordinated rallies with your alliance members.

Core Responsibilities for C6 Players

In competitive rounds, sitting idle reduces your alliance's point generation. To execute the C6 role effectively, focus on three main operational tasks:

• Active Scouting: Keep your scout queues moving constantly across surrounding tiles and enemy cities to check troop compositions, power levels, and defensive layering.
• Rally Leadership: Initiate offensive rallies against overextended or unshielded targets, giving clear march instructions to alliance teammates.
• Target Reporting: Share detailed scout reports immediately through alliance channels to ensure your team can reinforce or follow up quickly.

Step-by-Step Rally and Scouting Sequence

To execute offensive attacks cleanly while minimizing unnecessary losses, follow this operational sequence:

1. Locate a Target: Search for enemy keeps with weak defensive layering, missing shields, or uncoordinated troop setups.
2. Confirm Alliance Support: Communicate your target in alliance chat or Discord before spending stamina to ensure teammates have available march queues to join.
3. Set Rally Parameters: Open the rally window and state the target type alongside the required troop tiers so joining members send matching formations.
4. Time the Attack: Coordinate departure times so your alliance's secondary marches hit in rapid succession, overwhelming wall defenses and objective guards.

Defensive Risk Management and Trade-Offs

Remaining unshielded on the battlefield creates significant offensive opportunities, but it also leaves your keep vulnerable to counter-attacks. Managing your defensive posture is essential for sustaining your army throughout the match.

• Hospital Capacity: Monitor your hospital limits and healing resource reserves continuously. Filling your hospital completely results in permanent troop loss.
• Wall Defense Layers: Keep your defensive wall layers set even while focusing on offensive deployment to mitigate incoming solo hits.
• City Relocation: If a superior enemy force sets a counter-rally against your keep, do not attempt to tank the hit. Relocate your city immediately to save your power reserves and protect alliance points.
