“Evony” is a game reminiscent of “Cok,” with the general system being one of its most distinctive features. In Evony, the role of the general is paramount, influencing both combat and development. This article serves as a quick introduction to the general system in Evony for new players.
Qualities and Attributes of Generals
Generals in Evony are classified into two types: ordinary generals and historic generals.
Ordinary generals are ranked from low to high as follows: Common General, Uncommon General, Excellent General, Legendary General, and Epic General. These classifications can be visually distinguished by colors, listed in ascending order as white, green, blue, purple, and gold. (While the color is described as “orange” in the game, I prefer to call it “gold.”) The quality of the general correlates directly with their base stats; higher-quality generals possess superior base stats.
Historic generals, on the other hand, are renowned figures from history and can be found as either purple or gold generals within the game’s “Portraits” section. Recently, red generals, also known as “awakened” gold generals, have been introduced in Portraits. Due to space limitations, we will delve into the concept of “awakened” generals in upcoming articles.

In this game, the general’s attributes are divided into attack, defense, politics, and leadership. Interestingly, each Historic General’s initial stats are based on historical facts. For example, Queen Victoria has “Politics” on the high side, while Napoleon has “Leadership” on the high side. Which general you choose is up to your demands.
[PS: Players can also improve the general’s attributes through Cultivate, which can make up for the general’s lack of initial attributes in some areas and makes him or her more comprehensive and powerful. ]
The use of generals
In Evony, generals can not only lead an attack, but also defend their main city, manage affairs in their main city, and manage their subordinate cities.
Historically, the game sets up a Special Skill for each Historic General, which gives you an indication of what the general’s main purpose is.
It has to be said, if you have Historic General, you’ve taken a big step toward invincibility. As the name implies, Historic Generals are the most famous generals in history. Evony‘s r&d team worked hard to recruit famous generals from the history of various civilizations, such as King Arthur, Lincoln, Empress Wu, and Queen Jindeok. Each famous general has his or her own unique Story, Special Skill, and General Specialty.

How to get Historic General?
Can’t wait to own a Historic General so far? Let’s talk about how to get it.
No.1 Festival Event Packages
Evony will launch festival packages during festivals. Many of them contain golden generals, and some even contain the latest golden general. These packages are very cost-effective and the most direct way to get a Historic General.

No.2 Recruit from Tavern
Tavern recruitment is another way to get Historic Generals. Especially for players who do not plan on buying festival packages, the main way is to save gold and recruit their favorite general in Tavern. It should be noted that the chance to refresh a Historic General in the tavern depends not only on luck but also on the tavern level. So, if you want to make Historic Generals as quickly as possible, you would better upgrade the tavern first.
In addition, different Historic Generals have different recruitment prices. Are you ready to spend a lot of gold recruiting them from Tavern?
No.3 First Purchase
Each new player can earn a Historic General for a minimum cost through the First Purchase. Currently, you can get Historic General Theodora, a monster attacking General, on your first charge. We will introduce this general in more detail in future articles, so please pay attention to this website.
No.4 Time-limited Events
Evony will release some time-limited events, and please must not miss them. Because some of them will offer Historic Generals. You only need to complete specified tasks to earn rewards but spend no money.
No.5 Relic Chamber
Collect enough Slate Fragments to open a Relic Chamber, and then you will get Historic General Fragments. Each Historic General needs 30 fragments to assemble. Players can get Slate Fragments by exploring Relics.
No.6 Great General Chest
You can obtain Historic General Fragments or even Historic Generals by unlocking Great General Chests. Of course, opening this chest requires a Key of Conscription. Every day, with its full level of Activity, you will get a Key of Conscription. In addition, it is offered two keys of Conscription per day with the purchase of the Gold Monthly Card.
No.7 Dawn of Civilization
There is also a way to get Historic Generals. When you lock Precious Treasure Level 50, you will be given a Historic General Chest in which you may choose one of several generals given. Dawn of Civilization has many more rewards, but we’ll talk about them separately later.
To be honest, there are many ways to get a good general in Evony, and players can choose according to their situation. The general is an essential element in the development of each Evony city. Whether you prefer PVE or PVP, it’s imperative to grab some Historic Generals soon.
