Recipes
A recipe is a situation, a named slice, then the questions you asked next. It is not a cheat code for denser reporting on the way in.
If the only lesson is “say this to get the timeline,” the recipe failed. The useful part is what you asked after you had a here — especially when there was no official view.
Each recipe below is a short worked loop. The large map of questions, including ones people talked themselves out of, is the question atlas.
How to read one
- When it is for
- A subset you named
- What the post-focus summary is for
- Questions that are yours — several wordings, same intent
- A common miss (usually: still on the whole battlefield, or the Analyst moved)
Worked loops
| Recipe | What it teaches |
|---|---|
| Open a battlefield | The first summary is a door |
| Cut any subset | Custom criteria; any named pile |
| Ask your own question | Asking on the current focus is the system |
| Compare inside a focus | Comparisons are asks, not modes |
| One keep, then questions | A timeline is a landing, not the finish |
| One player, then questions | A series or defenses, then your follow-ups |
| Team rallies of one type, then questions | A table landing, then drill or stay |
| Effectiveness on the current focus | A measure on a slice |
| Train more on a defense slice | Defense focus, then which troops to build |
| Define a measure | Plus, minus, times, divided by, constants — your column |
Add a recipe
If you ran a loop others can reuse, describe it on Discord. Prefer a battlefield you actually ran. Do not send other players’ screenshots or identifiable report dumps without consent.
A recipe without a loaded battlefield is just a reading assignment.
These loops teach what to ask after the reports are in. If your next event’s mailbox is still only in Evony, download Tactica, Fast Read the favorited pile, then start with open a battlefield — the door every other recipe assumes.
New customers can start with a 7-day trial. One real event is enough to run several of these loops. Plans start at $14.99/month with full feature access.
