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:
  1. Be the Conqueror in the most recent Server War (SvS).
  2. Place in the top 5 of the most recent Server War Personal Ranking.
  3. Achieve 1,200 points or more in a single round of the Battle of Constantinople.
  4. Reach a specific ranking in the Single Time Damage list of the World Boss event.
  5. Purchase Gems to receive an equivalent amount of Valorous Medals.
Notes:
  • A player cannot own more than one of the same Historic City. Do not be greedy.
  • The Historic City Key Fragment will be gone once the event concludes, so be sure to claim your rewards in advance.
  • After using a Historic City Key, the player will lose war protection (bubble) for 10 minutes while preparing to attack the Historic City.
