How do you get a soldier on Evony?

build barracks, and rally spot, then academy,

barracks i think has the soldier training

academy is needed for skills for scouts and above.

oh you also need a forge.

build farms about 5-8 of them

6-10 iron mines

rest sawmills

then go capture valleys, such as deserts, mountains, forests, and swamps for more spaces to build farms and ironmines, and sawmills

to build, click on an empty square of grass in your city and where your fields are just out of you city gates, and then click the building you want to build

P.S. 10 cottages to level 2,

marketplace level 2,

embassy level 1 so you can join an alliance and get materials, and soldiers for fortification,

then military barracks level 1

ironmine level 2 or 3

forge level 1

then academy level 2-3

then inn level 2 for your heroes to lead your soldiers on attack missions,

finally feasting hall for the heroes want at least level 2 to hold 2 heroes.

then just build from there.

P.S.2 build what you need to for walls first, then when you sign off for the night starts level one walls, and build them every night. they take 8-aboiut 30+ hours ... lol
