Revelation of Maya Event
11/7/2022 Updated – Major addition to “Tips for getting a high score”.
Note: The following is based on my own research and compilation. Unauthorized reproduction or plagiarism is prohibited.
Tips to complete all levels
- Collect lots of generals and healing items anyway.
- To do so, remove all fog as much as possible, find Mayan camps, and defeat all Mayan warriors and Mayan guards.
- Is it better to preserve soldiers without defeating Mayan warriors and Mayan guards, or to defeat them all and collect items and buffs? I tried both and felt the latter was easier to complete.
- In order to conserve troops, do not occupy the totem tower.
- In order to conserve troops, do not remove the green poison fog.
- (However, both are required if you are aiming for a high score.)
- Use healing items as little as possible, and use the Life Stream to heal. Use healing items only in the latter half of the stage as much as possible.
- Therefore, do not get the next buff. You will not be able to heal. : “Desperate Measures” / “Hand of Death”
- There are good and bad generals that can be employed in Mayan camps. Even if they are the same general, they have different troop compositions. For example, a general who is good at ground troops may not necessarily have a troop composition with many ground troops. In some cases, all types of troops are evenly distributed. Therefore, be sure to check the unit composition of each general.
- To prepare for the last boss (level 20), save the following items without using them.
- Blade Rune (enemy HP reduction)
- Prediction Rune (attack, defense, and HP +100%)
- Recommended buffs to get if at all possible
- Battlefield Hospital
- Lucky Upgrading
Tips for getting a high score

I was able to score 11,190 points. What I did was the following.
- Defeat all enemies
- Occupy all towers (+ occupy as many Poisonwood as possible)
- Dispel all poisonous fog (green)
- Defeat the last boss (stage 20) with no damage (maximum number of troops remaining)
Particularly, 4 is quite important. The score changes by nearly 1,000 depending on the number of troops remaining after defeating the last boss.
However, it is not easy to achieve these 1 to 4. The following are required.
- A huge buff buildup.
- Getting lots of healing items and healing all the soldiers just before the last boss.
These are pretty much luck-dependent, so you will have to retry many times.
(I had to start over from stage 1 about 10 times)
Reference 1: Buffs & Troop composition when I scored 11,190 points
Buffs

I achieved over 2,000% by making it easier to obtain Mayan gold while making the buffs increase in proportion to the number of Mayan gold possessed (the same buffs stack in effect). Although the defensive buffs were negative, I was able to defeat the last boss unscathed.
I also increased the instant-death buff on siege machines’ attacks, while making the troop formation mainly composed of siege machines.Buff Effect Ring of the Rhine
(x2)Increases all troops’ attack by 1.5% and reduces all troops’ defense by 1% for each 1 Mayan Gold owned. Hand of Famine
(x2)Increases all troops’ HP by 10% and defense by 10%. Special: Increases Mayan Gold gained by 25%. Increases all troops’ attack, defense and HP by 0.5% for each 1 Mayan Gold owned. You can no longer buy Runes or Buffs from Mayan Market. Moneybags Gets 50 Mayan Gold immediately. Doubles the amount of Mayan Gold gained in the remaining levels of this exploring. Hand of Plague Increases all troops’ defense by 25% and ranged troops’ attack by 25%. Special: Increases all troops’ attack and HP by 10% for each 1 Rune owned. Unstoppable Force
(x3)Siege machines have a 30% chance to destroy the target directy when they attack. This chance is 3% against Mayan High Priest. Laws of Survival Does not take damage when dispelling poisonous fog. Unbreakable Wall Increases ranged troops and siege machines’ attack by 10% and siege machines’ basic attributes by 25%. Triple Lines Increases all troops’ attack, defense and HP by 333.33% if you send 3 troop slots to attack at same time. King’s Power Deals damage equal to 10% of the target’s maximum HP when the battle starts. Only takes effect once on a single target. Lucky Upgrading Offers 4 buff options.
Generals & Troop composition
- Elektra
- Zhao Yun
- Elise
- Ramesses II
- Philip II
Generals – I selected those that were as well-trained as possible, regardless of the type of troops.
Troop Formation – Although it is not clear whether the theory in PvP applies directly to this event, in PvP, the easiest way to achieve an unwounded victory is to form a troop formation specializing in siege machines. (this has been proven by the way the NPC subordinate city is defeated unwounded.) Therefore, for each generals, the number of siege machines was maximized and the number of other types of troops was set to zero (when aiming for an unwounded victory, layers of other types of troops are not suitable because they tend to become a wall of flesh and become wounded). Also, although generals such as Elektra are not normally suitable for siege machines, in this event, the general buff would be much smaller than the stage buff, so it was decided that this would not be a problem.
Reference 2: How to achieve over 7,000% buffs

The following table shows the buffs I obtained when I exceeded 7,000%.
As in Reference 1, the buffs are made to increase in proportion to the number of Mayan gold possessed, while also making Mayan gold easier to obtain. (The same buffs stack in effect.)
Furthermore, when the “Gold in Fog” is added, each time the fog is removed, the Mayan gold increases. Thus, the value is an order of magnitude higher.Buff Effect Gold in Fog Grants you 1 Mayan Gold for dispelling fog each 1 times. Ring of the Rhine
(x2)Increases all troops’ attack by 1.5% and reduces all troops’ defense by 1% for each 1 Mayan Gold owned. Hand of Famine
(x3)Increases all troops’ HP by 10% and defense by 10%. Special: Increases Mayan Gold gained by 25%. Increases all troops’ attack, defense and HP by 0.5% for each 1 Mayan Gold owned. You can no longer buy Runes or Buffs from Mayan Market. Moneybags Gets 50 Mayan Gold immediately. Doubles the amount of Mayan Gold gained in the remaining levels of this exploring. Hand of Plague Increases all troops’ defense by 25% and ranged troops’ attack by 25%. Special: Increases all troops’ attack and HP by 10% for each 1 Rune owned. Battering Arrow
(x2)Increases ranged troops and siege machines’ attack by 10% and ranged troops’ basic attributes by 25%. King’s Power Deals damage equal to 10% of the target’s maximum HP when the battle starts. Only takes effect once on a single target.

I scored 11150 points and got no.1 ,but today someone gets 11120 points.I don’t know how can he do it and I am just no.2 now.
I’m always referring to you!!! Thanks to your articles, I’m currently the second highest scorer on our server!!! My alliance members were surprised but I am the most surprised lol. I wonder if I can keep running away with it?
The first time I did this, I was wiped out after about 400 points with a mix of armies. Then an Alliance member advised me to do it with mounted troops only, and I got to about 5000 points, and finally, after following your article, I got over the 10,000 score!!!
Hi,
For me all towers except Poisonwood Totem Tower gives me points for occupying, others don’t. Are you sure about this info ? Also in the description of the towers, only the Poisonwood Totem Tower states to give points when occupied.
You can also get points for towers other than poisonwood. (I have checked again with the latest version 4.35.3 just to be sure)
I got 11400 points. I think the maximum score is between 11500 to 11600 around there.
It’s crazy!How can you do it?
Thanks to you i scored exactly 11k ,got that gold from fog thing twice after a few resets but only one gold to attack buff i.e ring of rine x 1
Is each monster weak against a certain troop? I’m guessing it’s not like the normal game where you only use mounted against monsters.
I do not know if it is compatible with the enemy. But at least I did not feel that it was easier to complete all stages by using mounted troops.
In addition, I prefer to use siege machines, not from a compatibility standpoint, but from the standpoint of the unharmed and instant-death buffs. For more information, please refer to the article.
Are all the Mayan enemies considered ground troops? Is there a penalty when you attack with multiple generals leading different troop types?
does having more gold at the end increase your overall points? so far I’ve got 8.5k points but i really want to get more but now I’m only getting 6k every time.
I have tried various methods and it seems that the amount of final gold possessed has nothing to do with the points.
If you get 5 field hospitals, you can defeat the enemy with zero wounds.
Can several of the same buffs be stacked?
It stacks.
This event is based on luck, depending on what good special buffs you can get and if you get good general layers (700k 1 troop type) from the camp, throughout the stages. I got around 9200 points. I sent all seige no layers, strongest generals I have doesn’t matter if they’re not seige generals. I didn’t attack any towers. I picked brutal strike as the first special buff, then aimed at getting fog dispelling (5 points per green fog dispelled with no damage), seige buff 3% chance to kill priest, march size increase, some attack buffs and healing buffs and of course using the healing and damage runes in later stages too.
Hi can I check if the buff can be stacked? If I get 2 field hospital how does this works?
I have always found you helpful.
Please let me know your strategies for selecting generals, formations, etc.
Nice to meet you, please excuse my comment.
I don’t know how to play this event…all my troops died in the middle of the event. Do I have to start over from the first level?
I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to play this event. Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, you are right.
Depending on the progress, you can start over from a few stages earlier, but in most cases it is better to start over from level 1.
Thank you for your reply.
I guess we just have to make it through from the beginning to the final stage somehow (><).
I've been playing Evony for a few months now, so there are a lot of things I don't understand, and I'm learning a lot here.
Thank you for teaching me!
