In Evony, gathering resources is an important part of growth. Whether training and upgrading troops, or building traps, constructing and upgrading buildings, and healing wounded troops, a lot of resources are needed. In addition to producing resources in the city and obtaining resources by killing monsters, gathering is one of the lowest-cost ways for most players. Then, which generals can be used for gathering? How should you choose them? This guide will clear up those doubts.

Recommendations
Based on the above buffs, the recommended generals for gathering are Queen Jindeok, Gaius Marius, Constance I, and Shimazu Yoshihiro.
In terms of resource-gathering speed, Queen Jindeok is better than Princess Lucy, so once Queen Jindeok is recruited, she can be used first. At the same time, you can use Resources Gathering Speedup to increase efficiency.
Troop Load does not necessarily depend on generals. All Troops Load could also be improved by increasing the number of Troops collected and the Loyalty Horn in the Monarch Gear. The higher the level of Loyalty Horn, the higher the gain of All Troops Load. However, if you have a high demand for the troop load, you can consider choosing generals who will increase the ‘Troop Load’ to increase the amount of resources gathered.
