Evony Battle of Gaugamela Guide: How to Top BOG Leaderboards

To finish at the top of the Battle of Gaugamela (BOG) leaderboard in Evony, you must combine passive continuous points from held buildings with rapid point bursts from favorable player-versus-player combat. When the match begins, immediately send fast, low-tier cavalry marches to claim first-occupation point bonuses on peripheral buildings, while directing your strongest marches to secure the Blessing Tower and March Tower.

Prioritize High-Impact Battlefield Buildings

Neutral buildings grant an immediate point reward when occupied for the first time, followed by steady per-minute point yields. However, holding structures that provide global stat enhancements gives your alliance the military advantage required to contest central objectives throughout the match.

Structure	Strategic Benefit	Priority
Blessing Tower	Increases attack and defense stats for all allied troops across the map.	High (Essential for winning contested rallies)
March Tower	Increases march speed toward map objectives and enemy targets.	High (Reduces response times for reinforcements)
Portal	Allows allied players to teleport to linked sectors without using inventory items.	High (Preserves advanced teleports and monarch stamina)
Supply Warehouse / Centers	Yields the highest passive alliance and personal points per minute.	High (Maintains long-term scoreboard leads)
Battlefield Hospital	Speeds up recovery rates and reduces healing score penalties.	Medium (Supports sustained combat for frontline rally leads)

Send minimal troop counts to snatch first-capture bonuses on outer structures, but station your highest-buffed players inside combat-boosting towers to repel counterattacks.

Maximize Combat Score Margins

Passive building scores establish a baseline, but leaderboard ranks are determined by high-tier troop eliminations. Defeating Tier 12 through Tier 14+ units yields significantly more points than eliminating low-tier layers. Reckless attacks that suffer heavy counter-casualties will feed equal or greater points to the defending opponent.

Follow these rules during offensive combat:

Target unshielded keeps: Scout enemy castles that lack active battlefield shields or leave high-tier troops garrisoned without sufficient defensive wall general buffs.
Avoid fortified meat shields: Do not launch solo hits into keeps packed with millions of Tier 1 infantry or ground troops, as this depletes your march power while offering minimal net score.
Catch returning marches: Track enemy rally leads returning from failed assaults. Striking their keeps before their marches reorganize yields quick, high-tier points against weakened defenses.
Reinforce towers using top-buff players: When holding contested buildings, ensure the player with the highest military academy research and civilization gear commands the defense so all reinforcing troops share those defensive bonuses.

Conserve Mobility and Teleports

Running out of teleports or exhausting monarch stamina leaves you stranded in peripheral zones, preventing you from reinforcing critical towers or launching attacks.

Anchor near Portals: Capture Portals early. Occupying a Portal lets alliance members relocate between designated battle zones instantly without burning standard inventory teleports or gems.
Execute flash hits: Teleport directly adjacent to a scouted enemy target, launch your march immediately, and teleport away or ghost your remaining troops within seconds. Lingering near enemy clusters invites coordinated counter-rallies that can wipe your scoring marches.

Manage Battlefield Healing Efficiently

Troops wounded during the Battle of Gaugamela do not permanently die. They enter the Battlefield Hospital and automatically revive for free once the match concludes. Reviving them during the match, however, requires battlefield healing speedups or gems.

Heal in small batches: If hospital reduction buffs or alliance help mechanics are active, heal troops in small increments to cycle units back into combat without exhausting large multi-day speedups.
Prioritize primary offensive marches: Never spend healing speedups on low-tier defensive buffer troops. Revive your primary ranged or mounted offensive march first so you can continue participating in alliance rallies.
Concede unwinnable structures: If an isolated building is targeted by an overwhelming enemy rally, pull reinforcements out before impact. Rebuild your primary marches and regroup at a structure where your alliance holds the Blessing Tower advantage.

Coordinate Alliance Rallies

Top-ranked solo players rely heavily on alliance rally coordination to clear heavily garrisoned central buildings.

Designate high-buff players with advanced general ascensions and maxed dragon talents as dedicated rally leads. Supporting players who lack maxed offensive stats should focus on filling rally marches with single-tier layers, capturing open supply buildings, and cycling reinforcements into held towers to secure the alliance victory alongside personal high scores.
