What is iScout for Evony?
iScout is a browser based tool that allows you to search for a variety of things on the Evony map in real time. You can access iScout through any device that has a web browser – such as mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or computer.
What does iScout do?
iScout retrieves information from the map of the server you select, and displays this information in an easy to understand manner. It allows you to receive the coordinates of in-game locations which you simply insert when in game. iScout has also recently added an API that allows you to connect with ESB in order to automatically rally bosses.

How to use iScout for SVS
How to use iScout for SVS
To use iScout for SVS, you should edit the server ID, as shown in the screenshot below:
This will then allow you to enter a new server ID (Note: You can only change server ID once every thirty minutes on iScout):
You should change the server ID to the enemy server, and then return to the ‘Assistant’ tab.
From here you can search parameters for Monsters, Resources, Relics/Pyramids, Arctic Barbarians, Players, and Subcities.
Finding Enemy SVS Players
Finding Enemy SVS Players
First, select the Players tab. This will allow you to configure the desired level, power, bubble status, whether they are on enemy server (i.e. your server) and alliance tag.
It is not recommended to configure the level tab, but rather the power tab. Here you can set parameters. Personally I usually selected the minimum power as 100M as this helps to filter most of the dead keeps, which helps to ensure a worthwhile hit. Furthermore, you should toggle the bubble option to be “No”, and you change the “On enemy server” status if preferred although I typically leave it as its default setting. Next filter is the alliance tag, which by default is set to ‘*’ which is a wildcard, meaning all alliances will show up (although this can be narrowed to specific alliances using their tag).
Next, press the Apply button and it will start to load the results with the parameters you have given.
Finding Occupied Pyramids, Relics, and Resource Spots
Finding Occupied Pyramids, Relics, and Resource Spots
To use iScout to find occupied pyramids, relics, or resource spots, you can apply the following filter under their respective tabs. Set Occupied to equal “Occupied (no alliance)” and “Occupied (in alliance)”. This will ensure you can see all the tiles that are occupied – hopefully leading to some easy points.
Using Subcities to Attack Players
Using Subcities to Attack Players
One great usage of iScout is its ability to locate specific players sub cities.
Here you can enter the occupied status, and alliance tag in order to help find specific players sub cities. This is useful when a player is on your server as it means you can have a teammate force port them, and as soon as they are force ported you can attack their sub city rather than wasting precious seconds trying to arrest warrant them.
Locating Ares Statues and Fire Spirits using iScout
Locating Ares Statues and Fire Spirits using iScout
A risk free way to earn points is to go on the enemy server and visit Ares Statues and Fire Spirits – assuming you don’t stay longer for five minutes before your bubble expires.
iScout enables its users to search for these point earning points of interest, meaning less aimlessly scrolling, and more risk-free points!
How to use iScout for Boss Rallying
iScout can be used in two ways for Boss rallying. If you have the Scouter or Fighter package (more on this later) you can insert your desired bosses and iScout will give you a list of coordinates you can search for in-game to start rallies / solo. Alternatively, if you have the Mechanist package, iScout offer an API (fancy way of connecting two computer programmes together) which allows you to connect iScout with EvonySmartBot (ESB) so that you can automatically rally bosses. This means that rally setters can rally 24/7. It saves a huge amount of time for rally setters, and means there is no down time in rallies for teammates sleeping etc.
This image is an example of how it looks like when you ask the web browser version of iScout to give coordinates to bosses.
What else can iScout do?
iScout can also help you win the Pyramids Exploration event, by locating level 5 pyramids for yourself. You can even enable sound notifications so that you can leave iScout running whilst you do something else, and it will audibly notify you when a level 5 Pyramid is available to be taken.
Furthermore, iScout can also help win Arctic Barbarians event in a similar fashion, alongside events such as Shadow of Dawn, or keep track of new sub cities on your server through their export sub list via CSV.
Does iScout Cost?
iScout does cost, although has a free trial for which it will assign you a random server for that you can test its search features out. Its paid tiers are as follows:
- Scouter ($9.99): Allows players to search for tiles, pyramids, barbarians, bosses, and sub cities. This is great if you are just looking speed up your time trying to find bosses.
- Fighter ($19.99): This allows players to search for enemy players with their bubble down, see occupied tiles/pyramids. This is a great level for those in bubble or burn servers, or those that actively play SVS.
- Mechanist ($29.99): This allows players to have API access meaning they can connect it to a limited amount of bots. This is useful for auto setting rallies.
