What is a general?
It is important to know that generals act as your troop leaders, as they control your armies’ marches to gather resources or attack monsters. They can lead your armies to defeat bosses against other players. Generals can also act as mayors of Subordinate Cities.
The generals can be recruited from the Tavern, which is one of the infrastructures in the game. All the generals are divided into different categories, according to their rarity, and they are further divided by whether they are Historic Generals or not.
Historic Generals are based on real-world historical leaders from 6 different cultures and countries, including Europe, Korea, Japan, and Russia, among others.
Evony: Generals colors
All the generals you find in the game are part of specific categories, which are determined by their rarity, and their rarity category is generally indicated by the color of their card. The following table lists the different rarities and their corresponding colors:
Rarity | Color card |
Epic | Gold |
Legendary | Purple |
Rare | Blue |
Uncommon | Green |
Common | Grey |
Players should remember that Legendary generals will have much better attributes and stronger skills than a general who is common. Moreover, the Epic, Legendary, and Rare generals are much more difficult to acquire than Common generals are.
If you have just started playing the game, you should focus on Uncommon and Common generals to understand the gameplay and mechanics, but you will need stronger generals as you advance in the main questline.
Generals’ attributes
Though the generals are divided into different categories, all of them have 4 attributes, and every attribute impacts a general’s tasks. The following table outlines the generals’ tasks and the impacts on their tasks:

Generals’ skills
All the generals can learn skills through the use of Skill Books, which come in 3 different levels. The higher the skill is that they learn, the more buffs they will receive. Keep in mind that level 3 will always replace its level 2 counterpart, and similarly, level 2 will always replace its level 1 counterpart, to prevent skills stacking.

It is worth noting that Historic Generals that form part of the Epic or Legendary categories have a unique skill that provides a bigger buff than the level 3 Skill Book. That being said, some of the unique skills do not have a corresponding Skill Book.
How to acquire a general
As previously stated, you can acquire a general by visiting the Tavern. There are several generals available in the Tavern that you can acquire for free, but players cannot obtain a premium general for free, as they are only available in packs, which are purchasable with real-life money.
Alternatively, you can win a general by spinning the Wheel of Fortune or purchasing a General Chest from the battlefield building.
