The Way to Get a Historic City

The most crucial step in acquiring a Historic City is to get enough Valorous Medals. Because Valorous Medals are equivalent to your personal points, the more Valorous Medals you get, the higher your ranking. Evony will re-rank players according to them every day, and then give you different amounts of Historic City Key Fragments according to your ranking.

Players who have accumulated enough 30 fragments can exchange them for a Historic City Key on the Redeem page in the Event Rewards.

The Valorous Medal can be obtained in the following ways:

Be the Conqueror in the last Server War (SvS).
Place top 5 in the last Server War Personal Ranking.
Gain 1,200 scores or above in a single round of the Battle of Constantinople.
Reach a specific ranking in the Single Time Damage list of the World Boss event.
Purchase Gems to get Valorous Medals of the same amount of Gems we purchased.

Notes:

A player can not own two same Historic Cities. Do not be greedy.
Historic City Key Fragment will disappear after the event ends, so please remember to redeem the rewards in time.
After using a Historic City Key, the player will lose war protection (bubble) for 10 minutes while going to attack the Historic City.
